Kurogashi said: i think people are too used to having information spoon fed to them and more often than not, follow linear stories. Wrong analogy. Maoyu isn't spoon-feeding us, but it's also not even giving us a spoon to feed ourselves -- I'm being forced to eat soup with my hands, and the broth keeps slipping through my fingers. All that's left is chunks of potato. |

Anyway... i'm the one that cry during Female Knight's scene? So ridiculous, humiliating, degraded. She was not supposed to be a strong woman? Then, why so weak?! The same apply to the others, while they are classic stereotypes they are not up to their stereotypes. The weak and tearful king is acceptable, but and weak and tearful Old Man no, he should be experienced and rational, reliable. Note that standard, as the characters contradict their stereotypes. This eventually weakens the characters and the series as a whole. |

| Since in the OP, the Head Maid got her arm severed, so I can take it that Maou will go on a rampage eh. Poor the girls, but why does the little one has to go, she can just stay at home. Anyway, why the hell is potato evil, what's wrong with the Light Spirit. |

| Can anyone tell me what soundtrack is when the Knight gives a speech to the Hero, about giving herself to him. Can you? |
 |
| I'm surprised the knight is so willing to bend her sword to the Hero and in effect accepting being the no.2 woman in his life. Is this in the source material too? Looks like we'll get some serious action soon. |

| Shocker! A "Church" is hindering human progress?! That never happens! :cough: Anyways, I enjoyed this episode immensely. Good buildup to conflicts. |

| Things escalate quickly in this anime. Can't believe Maou is discovered already... and Older Sister Maid needs to play as decoy. Looks like they are worried about letting Yuusha do things alone again. |

| So what's up with the mage? |
| Great ep even so it left me asking for more to figure out exactly how he's going to deal with the church. |
| good episode, makes me excited for next one. That scene at the end was pretty intense, anyone know what music was being played? |
 [/url] |
| This series is just full of twists and turns. This is probably my favorite new series of 2013. Hard to believe there are only four episodes left. |
| nice ep. |
| What a predicament they're in this time. Now Maou is a heretic all of a sudden? |

eminagnam said: Onyxthegreat said: Now Maou is a heretic all of a sudden? Even if she had not been called a heretic in this episode, she would've been likely to be labeled as a heretic by the church later cuz she is a demon king. It would've been a matter of time. Church politics, plus the fear that winter nation is starting to become self sufficient and more independent on its own, this means the danger of a shift in the balance of power, since a new Pope has been elected and there is an interest to reign in Winter Nation, they have decided to strike before is too late. |
| Books are gateways to new worlds... |
| While it does add drama that the church has declared the scholar a heretic, I find it highly unlikely that anything like this would have come about in this manner. A church that spans multiple nations can never be a unified entity if it has any real power. The Winter Kingdom should have its own bishop that would be able to represent their side and attempt to avoid a declaration of heresy. If the leader of the church is like the Pope, then he actually has very little authority over what the bishops do; the Winter Kingdom bishop could just ignore the order or say they are unable to locate her. None of the other kingdoms would want the church to get the Demon King because that sets the precedence that the church can grab anyone, which is something the kings and bishops would not stand for. It is a shame that this show is not acknowledging the political aspects of a large organized religion and that there many divides within its structure. |

Maoyuu isn't quick by any means, but there are dozens of great shows even slower. If anything, I think they're trying to fit too much in each episode. Would have loved for 24-26 episodes. Same here I hope they decide to make a second season. It's a slow paced anime but I love the story and characters. |
 |
| I love how they always say that the Hero could destroy every one any time, but he always declines to do so. And why do they have to put the older sister in danger? :| I swear if something happens to her I'll teach them a lesson or two, lol. |
 |
| I'm realy interested in seeing how much overpowered Yusha is. |
| Merchant saw through the fake. lol @ Yuusha freaking merchant out of it. Oh, the mages are safe in Maou's place. So Onna Kishi is now servant of Yuusha, who is servant of Maou... does that mean Onna Kishi is also servant of Maou? Bold plan by Yuusha when Maou is absent. I hope it works out. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| I am really liking the show... .... Hopefully the Hero can save the maid before she been through too much torture... from the preview, it seem like she'll at least get her back whipped... Fucking church. |

|
| Some difficult decisions had to be made this time. The only thing left for them is to believe in Yuusha and a certain somebody's latent talents. While not a difficult decision, Maou also has a difficult struggle ahead of her as implied by Head Maid's line that she will offer her life to try and kill her if Maou comes out from the ritual as no longer who she was. Pretty good thing that Young Merchant was quite open minded and not so easily freaked out after Hero suddenly 'abducted' him into the Demon Realm for a banquet in the now neutral Gateway City. |
| Finally comes to this part... I know what happens next, though only from one of the manga adaptation... can't be too far off, I hope. Also, I noticed the animation is kinda... bad. Is it it because this is the mid season? The animation staff couldn't be bothered to put more effort, I guess. |
| A city's greatness is determined by the speed of its internet connection. |
| Oh wow, my heart kind of broke at the decision to send older sister maid off as a prisoner like that. I mean, obviously she'll ultimately be safe, but still. Also the scene where Knight admits her inferiority to Maou was also quite sad. I really kind of love Dragon Princess and her attendant, though, and I want to see more of them. |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

| Pretty good episode. The Merchant figured out the illusion so quickly! :P Kind of nice to see him talking with Hero ... and then being teleported around to the Demon World and that feast LOL XD Also I REALLY liked the scene with Knight offering her sword (and pretty much herself) to Hero. As well when she was comparing herself to Demon King ... IDK, I thought it was really touching ;3 Potatoes are evil ... oh crap. So the Older Sister has to let herself be arrested and then "saved" by Hero? That's an ... interesting plan. Looks like Hero's going to have to go away again ... huh Oh and short scene with Demon King meeting the Magician (I think) and in the places with all the previous Demon Kings ... :O Gotta say the animation was pretty meh this episode though :S |

| the story turns into some serious ones... go maid anee!! |
 |
| Time is going way too fast in this show, why didn't they just go for a 2-cour instead? :( I liked the episode itself, but the preview got me really exited for more. Fortunately I stalled this for a long time, therefore I can wait the next episode right now. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| People REALLY surprised at religion hindering economic progress should probably brush up their knowledge of economic theory because that's pretty much reason why Europe's progress stalled for few hundred years. the basis of Christian religion went against the very idea of economics as well as banking(the reason why first bankers in european cities were jewish as well as why christian population would oppress jewish populations), counting it as sin(in fact there's special circle of hell entirely for bankers). At the same time one of major religious teachings in christian doctrine of the time was that one should not make direct profit from business. While from side such ideas seem outlandish, in overall all of that was there so church could remain in power and control and not lose influence to various merchant guilds of the time(who themselves ALSO stalled progress via a class-rank system ). With such laws businesses would not gain influence as fast they would usually and church could still gain money from religious pardons and all that stuff, with most of priests of the time managing to amass quite a bit of wealth despite the teachings. the economic "monopoly" of church is one of major reasons on why Luther's Reformation happened. So its not that surprising that in this show which so far has been quite accurate to our history, church clearly based on catholic church of those times, would want to retain their influence. |

"Signature removed"   |
| Boring as hell episode. Anime really fails to deliver comprehensive story. |
| I think I'm really starting to like Kishi. Other than pretty boring episode. |
| Quite interesting development going on, so the Demon King met the wizard from the old team of the Hero? And the Knight gave her sword/body to the Hero well that sure are some interesting things! I do hope those two maid sisters are going to be alright! Lets see what happens next! |

Appel_stroop said: So.... potatoes are evil? ^ probably the best comment of 2013 right here. |
