| Was okay I guess, demon king is pretty great though. |
| First episode was great, funny scenes especially that pillow hug :) Looking forward for the next episode. underoath777 said: Exactly!Reminded me a little of Sigur Ros. |

| If they won't mess this up with tits, this really has a lot of potential :D And yeah, I also noticed the similarity to SaW. Though like Zylixae said, it's not on the same level. SaW is superior in that regard, and MaoYuu would have a tough job overcoming this hurdle (not that I expect it to try to), but still, the politics, economy, focus on wits and exposition and I'm sure soon-to-come endless flirting does make the two shows similar. Though Ruby Eyes is much more naive than Horo. Horo was awesome because you could always expect her to gain an upper hand, either in business or in relationship... In comparison, Ruby seems like she has a lot of practical knowledge and intellect, but she sucks at relationships. Finally, as a sidenote, I'd like to point out that despite the fact that this series has a fantasy setting, I believe the problem it touches is VERY modern and should make you think a little about what current governments are doing and the reasons behind those actions. Because I have a weird feeling a lot of people would respond the same as Hero (jeez, give those characters actual names FGS though!) if confronted with the same questions/problems ;) |

| Don't mind some ecchi-comedy every once and awhile, this might be good! ^^ |
 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| I will continue, but I expected better. I saw the pictures of the characters on the LN and they are better than the anime I hope not a lot of ecchi because it will kill the anime |
Maurox said: I find it unfair to compare this with S&W as both series are focusing on different aspects/ topics. S&W is more about Microeconomics, mainly from an individual standpoint, whereas Maoyuu is more about Macroeconomics, looking at not just the end product but more on a broader scale. And later on in the story, Maoyuu focuses also on politics. Things like controlling factors of productions and what not were merely background details and doesn't directly affect the protagonist in S&W, but that isn't the case here. SaW is superior in that regard, and MaoYuu would have a tough job overcoming this hurdle (not that I expect it to try to), but still, the politics, economy, focus on wits and exposition and I'm sure soon-to-come endless flirting does make the two shows similar. Both series are in fact rather different from each other despite the apparent overlaps. |
| Not bad :D + for: Fukuyuma Jun Sawashiro Miyuki Not-so-bad plot Boobies - for: That f-ing ugly CG at the walking background character. Arms is slowly improving :) |
| tho they didnt capture the Maou beauty from the manga her moe level is extremely high glad they showed the Female Mage "Baka virgin Hero" lol god i love her Tavor said: Don't mind some ecchi-comedy every once and awhile, this might be good! ^^ its also educational |
| I'm glad that this was a lot more enjoyable than I expected. I was worried that this was going to be a disappointment. The concept, character interaction, and scenarios were interesting and peaked my curiosity. I hope the series expands on all of the topics and situations it brought up in this episode. However I don't know if they can explain so much in 12 episodes unless if there is another season. The only thing I didn't really like was the opening theme, but I liked the BGM and and ED a lot. |
 |
| What nice way to start the new year is to watch this. Good first episode. I love the encounter between the two of them. Their contract is like a marriage vow...or a marriage contract to me. |

Also, education with ecchi + comedy? Epic. |

| I'm not too thrilled by the service in this episode and more that will surely follow, but man, this has all the makings of being a great series. Yuusha and Maou working together to secure world peace? Consider me present for the audience section. I gotta admit that Maou is pretty hilarious. Nice soundtrack and great animation quality too, although I'm not really sure about the CG people walking in the background in one of those scenes. Also, loving the voice actors for the series. If any of you watched Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon (Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere), this is basically a return of Aoi Tori, Asama Tomo, and Honda Masazumi. The only negative? Maoyuu is only going to be around for 12 episodes. I don't know how far it will get, but I sure hope it doesn't try to end in one season. Apparently the source material has gone pretty far already. |

| It bored me too much. First episodes aren't supposed to be this boring. 3/5 |
| I wasn't expecting such quality voice acting. The scenes teasing at the side stories and characters created a nice tension and urgency. Also, I found the characters to be hilarious. When Maou revealed her horns to be fake I couldn't help but think of: |

| I just wrote a bit about it already - I thought that the first episode was solid. As some people mentioned, the exposition was indeed very good. The fanservice felt a bit over the top, but as for everything else, I'm pleased with this. It's a short series with only 12 episodes, so this is going to be a fast ride, but I hope that they don't sacrifice the exposition too much in favor of the flluffy fanservice. ARMS are getting better and better. Besdies, Fukuyuma Jun! |

| Sawashiro Miyuki has such a soothing voice. ;-; I like it so far |
 (THIS WAY FOREVER) |
| I liked everything but the main girls monstrous tits. Seriously, it does not look right at all. |
| Well that was ok for a 1st episode, what a "Demon King" and "Hero" this should be funny if nothing else, also the last few min or so had me drying |

| since the demon king's seiyuu is the same as Nodoka... "she has these blobs of fat where her breasts are suppose to be" but overall, I enjoyed the first episode, though I dont know if I'll have the same feeling at the end of show, with so many harem flags already shown |
Dis gon b gud  |

| This is way more light hearted, funny, and cute then I expected it to be, this is going to be a fun watch. |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| This anime has fulfilled what cliche story I have been looking for. Hero makes a "love" contract with the evil force (Demon "King" for this instance) instead of saving the world! Woohoo. I love how the horns was just an accessory! Ahahaha. Can't wait for more. |

And while listening to it with my earphones on, it sounds more like a Drama CD because it have less BGM. Anyways, 4! I liked it. :) How does this remind you of SAO or even Magi for that matter? o.O Just curious. |

| I seriously loled at the removable horns! This anime has very "big" potential, like the plot or the economics. Now a little bit of rant, how can there be reviews with rating after the first episode? You would need to watch at least 3-4 episode of any anime, to be able to review and grade it. |

Economics play a huge role in it, so does politics. Not to mention the fantasy/historical setting. |

Amarrez said: Have you read Magi? Economics play a huge role in it, so does politics. Not to mention the fantasy/historical setting. 12/- for the anime and 90/167 chapters for the manga. In that regard, I can understand that economics/politics bit and in comparison to Magi. As far as characters go...not really. The setting aspect I somewhat see similarly now too. |

| Great episode. Very interesting and hilarious at times. Really giving me Spice and Wolf vibes, didn't even know that Maou and Yuusha are both voiced by Holo and Kraft's VA as well. xD Maou is so cute, the way she hugged the Yuusha pillow and when she took of her horns. xD I don't mind the fanservice, it isn't that bad. Man, I really like the OP. Dat voice of YOHKO. :D Looking forward to more of Maoyu. |
 |
| This show basically sums up all of the things I like in this world. Politics, economics, and most importantly...tits. |
| Ok™ |

Both Spice and Wolf's director and screenwriter, Takeo Takahashi and Naruhisa Arakawa are involved in this one as well. I have a feeling we'll have many of those vibes during the show! :) |
