| This finale...felt idk, kinda underwhelming. It's still the usual gimmicks in this anime but hey, glad to see Chiho doing better since her coma. It felt like Chiho was feeling a bit helpless after all that happened but she's keeping a good spirit. Average season imo, which is a shame because I was really looking forward to this show after all these years. For whatever that new project is coming up, really hope the animation quality improves. |
 |
| Hmm... some things were revealed in this episode regarding Raguel and his sonar and then Emi's hero identity. Also, Chiho woke up which was totally expected. Maou looked cool. It was a decent wrap-up to the season with little action in the end. The only good thing about this season was 'Alas Ramus' and her adorable tantrum about her parents. But, I'm just happy that we even got a second season after nine freaking years. So... yeah. It was a give-or-take situation all around. But, in the end, this season was too underwhelming tbh. It felt like nothing happened in the story. The plot and story didn't move that much tho new characters were being introduced. Also, the production issues, I feel like were some of the reasons why it felt a little soft. From White Fox in the first season to 3Hz in the second. I feel like 3Hz were way too rushed on this season by KADOKAWA. I hope they don't do the same for the next season and let them take their time, but since the rumors have already been surfacing about a Season 3 in 2023, it doesn't feel that this is going to be any better than 2nd season. *fingers crossed* anyway |
 |
| That was too anticlimactic, WTF. Honestly whole season was a major disappointment. |
  |
| So it is, that the Heroes and Devils work together to seek out both Angels Raguel and Gabriel at the broadcast towers. Plus, Chiho having been embedded by the Yesod ring from Lailah, everyone's into the Ente Isla business now. Even the afro guy (Raguel) that both Maou and Ashiya met the last episode, it's all war and no games. The Angels Gabriel and Raguel vs the rest, and Maou's demon character design just looks damn generic as hell, NOTHING unlike White Fox's stint at the time. Also, this "fight" (if you could call it that) is just rushed and plain bad, with the Angels retreating at the sign of their loss. In the end, what Chiho managed to get from Lailah's sources, Maou certainly understood how deep her knowledge went, and even she is brought into the fray now as an outsider who holds the key to bring Ente Isla back to normal. Even if there was a sequel leak (which has since been confirmed), I'm not very optimistic going forward to see such a classic series being treated like utter trash. Such a huge disappointment. |

| Man, this was underwhelming. I know it’s not fully the animation team’s fault because I was about halfway ahead of this season with the manga adaption, but the dead-pan adaption certainly made it worse. To be honest, I actually missed out most of the episode because I’m more interested in checking out Summertime Render’s final ep instead on Tokyo MX. I only managed to see the last few mins xD and it seems like Chiho-chan will have a role to play in Ente Isla soon, that does sound interesting, I suppose. Season 3 announced, after a short wait only thankfully. I really hope that things will liven up a little more because this season turned out to be really boring, in al fairness. 5/10 from here. I’m not going to drag this out too much but I really got to say, this used to be up there on the top of me “please give me a sequel, ffs” list. And now, here we are. But well, I’m still happy that we got this and are going to get more. |

| Biggest disappointment of the year for me. It was just extremely boring all the way through and the animation looks worse than S1. 4/10. |
 .Go watch Gintama boyo/grill My discord server for gaming and anime/manga: https://discord.com/invite/4mqXfNEJ9A |
| Horrible season accredited to the wank animation. Never again. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| Welp that’s the end of the one of the most mediocre shows I’ve ever seen. Production qualities were very subpar throughout. Even the fights today looked so cartoonish it was hard to take them seriously. That said, the plot did start getting interesting at the end with Emi’s mom and her plans. That whole chiho possession convo at the end set up a lot of stuff that I’m curious about. Daath, sepiroth lands, etc I’ll for sure watch season 3 for the answers but I don’t have any type of quality expectations. |
 |
| Well, this season killed all my hype and joy for the series back in ´13. What´s worse than being bad? it is being boring. Not only we had a bunch of filler episodes with no relevance to the plot, but the comedy was horrible, the characters were horrible, the animation was atrocious (how the fuck does the first season looks better when it was made 10 years ago) and the whole story makes little sense, specially when they put so much focus on Chiho now. I doubt I´ll watch S3, this is just a 5/10 to me. |
| The final battle was meh. Anyway lots of info drop this episode which were nice. Also Maou finally got his TV. Okay season, not much comedy and more SoL, story focus which weren't bad but the production of this season was so bad that it dragged it down further. Sequel was announced, hopefully it'll have better production. |
 |
| Thinking back how hyped everyone was for this season, terming this even as a major dissappointment seems to be an understatement. Thank goodness this didn't have any major content cut, otherwise we would've had an unwelcomed competitor for the absolute tragedy promised neverland season 2 was. I still don't get any of this grand plan Emi's mom cooking, may next season help. Hopefully. |
 |
| I'm kinda confused myself, either because the plot becomes dull or it's just all the bad execution? We've been anticipating this for like almost 10 years but I never thought it would end like this. Big wasted |
Well this was disappointing. My initial hype for a new season of one of my favorite shows was completely destroyed. Surely after this there won’t be a next season… |
| Chi's Melons were HUGE in this final episode, yummy :) As for this season 2, it was ok but forgettable, unlike season 1 which was memorable. Only reason why I never dropped it was because all the characters in this anime are charming enough to make you keep watching. Well, off to season 3, and hopefully season 3 concludes this franchise. |
| Well Emi isn't wrong because work is the only way in modern society. Maou taking the citizen route though was funny. The truth about the angels though was actually more normal than I thought. Chi chan being granted powers to help out though was a nice usage of her character here. The insight into Emi's origin really worked well with her own insecurities that she had been having. The aerial battle at the tower though was a lot of fun. Though its unfortunate that they couldn't take the two down at least with Chi chans help the enemy was repelled. So Lailah's plan is to reunite the land and bring peace to Ente Isla huh. Pretty noble plan. Looking forward to seeing more next season. |

DmAnimeguy said: I was reading the comments about this episode and it seems that the hole community is on the same page as me when it comes to this series... then how did they get another season loll? Most likely pre-planned, probably thought it would be a massive hit considering how well loved S1 was (just like Shield Hero S2 which was also a disappointing mess). |
| So many things happened and ended so quickly, surprising that there's another season. The scene where a person controls Chiho's body to talk to Maoh is very cool though. |
 |
| It was a solid ending for this season I guess... but man I wish s2 was adapted so much better 4/10 |
 |
| A rather underwhelming and crappy season. That final action scene was really bad. And was this missing button detail really necessary????? (Eye roll)  |

| now i can't wait for a third season - and please don't let it take as long as it did as last time! things are getting interesting and i wanna know i have a feeling Laila saved him and brought him over to Earth from Ente Isla, but still, i wanna know. |
       |
| What the hell was that fight. There are so many things I'm frustrated with: the anime production, the quality, the story of the anime and how it feels rushed or nonsensical, and the light novel (mainly since it's not an anime original, so most of my story complaints are aimed at the LN). This season was a luck 4/10, an now I don't like Emi. |
 |
| they ruined this anime. bad animation and bad story, tbh it would've been better if we never got a season 2 imo but now there's even gonna be a third season.. sad 5/10 |
 |
| So underwhelming, though some of the set-up in this season has potential. |
 |
| Hmmmm ... It's not that it's a bad show, but still, I miss the energy that was in season one. Maybe it's due to a different animation, maybe I'm getting old. |
 |
| The fighting in this episode looked pretty rough. I think they'd be better off keeping it light rather than trying to show off battles. Well, overall it wasn't bad, but I'd be hard-pressed to say it was good too. It was fine. That being said, I'm not sure if I'd bother with season three. The humor seems to be gone now, and I'm not particularly invested in this story. |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| Meh final... but in the end it's still teasing about the next events so why not since they're doing a 3rd season, but this one was clearly not on the level of the 1st one sadly, on both story and animation even though it's 10 years later. |
 |
| Chiho has gone super saiyan with a quincy bow. Interesting. This was beyond rushed, the ending fight was underwhelming, and Maou's true form was lacking the intimidation it had in the first season. I'll probably be skipping s2 part 3, or s3, whatever they're calling it. Also, alus ramus added next to nothing good to the show. Her voice was like nails on a chalkboard. At least we got tons of screentime of Maou's true love this season, best girl vibes 4/10 |
  |
| That was a decent finale, Gabriel and his afro buddy teamed up to take on powered up Ashiya and Maou (about time lol) but were soundly defeated with the help of Emi Yusa and Chiho showing up to assist. There were also some big plot reveals, like Emi Yusa’s dad being alive and what Lailah plans to do with Earth and Ente Isla. That was pretty spooky when Chiho was under Lailah’s control, but immediately transitioning back to the sweet Chiho helped ease the spooks lol. And we end on one last shot of Maou and the gang messing with their new TV, I loved how Suzuno was bewildered by it lol. The long awaited Season 2 is already over, I don’t have the connection with this series some do as I just watched Season 1 early last year, but I definitely felt some of that hype that came with this Season 2. And I personally enjoyed this quite a bit, it definitely wasn’t as good as the first season in not just the animation department, but also the story, as I think this was a bit of a slow point, but I definitely still enjoyed it. It was nice seeing these classic characters back in action and goofing around. That OP being by the same artist that did the first OP was really good as well, it definitely reminds me a bit of classic anime OPs from the early 2010s, and the ED was also nice and had a similar vibe the original had. And I’m happy to know that a Season 3 is confirmed, I was really hoping they would keep going after this and it’s great to see they are. I know some weren’t happy with this 2nd Season but I’m definitely excited for the next one. |
| What a very bad adaptation that was, the pacing was all over the place, the animation was cheap, and the actions in the fights looked stupid, even the talking scenes looked strange I hope season 3 will be better, but honestly I think I already know the answer without even watching it... 4/10 |
| Well that was a wet fart of a season |
| Yeah, pretty underwhelming and boring finale overall. Hataraku Maou-sama lost its charm the moment it became more plot-oriented, which happened halfway through season 1. Awful second season. Story has become incredibly dull, comedy is not funny anymore and every scene featuring Emi is practically a pain in the ass. Not to mention the inconsistency in both animation and art. Practically as inconsistent as Chiho's breast size throughout the season... 3/10 |
| Can we blame the pandemic for this? Either that or they had some pretty significant turnover at Studio 3hz. I don't remember Princess Principal or Flip Flappers looking like, well, that. While I still can't bring myself to hate it let's be real here, this was no White Fox back in the day. |
| I'm no Weeaboo I'm Katsura |
| Sad that the series has ended and we now have to wait for a new season. But the ending was great, so many things happened in today's episode. So I'm glad I watched this series because it's been amazing! |
| As someone who enjoyed the season as a whole, I was disappointed with the finale. Everything seemed so rush and the pacing was terrible. Hopefully season 3 picks things up. A man can wish. |
