The Devil Is a Part-Timer! (light novel)
Why are these people compelled to make the same boring prediction? Are they....
| Very thoughtful set of choices you've made there.... |
| 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. |
| Because the show is declining? and nice job on the poll btw... (not) I initially loved the idea of the show but now its on the path to becoming a cliche harem anime. Like tell me what major thing has happened in the show since the first episode? Almost nothing besides the earthquake stuff in which the enemies were just weaklings. We are 7 episodes in a 13 episode anime and all we got was chi chan being jealous, some tsundare moments from emi. Obviously it might get better but the last few episodes have done the show no justice. |
| As some fans in Japan like to point out, with tongues in cheek, that the show has been in "decline" since the first few minutes of ep.1 ha ha ha ha ha |

Kitchiri said: Well said. Same to me. I think the key is to set a reasonable and correct expectation for the show you watch. But in terms of Quality of Production, you are right that it is rare for a series to really fall flat nowadays.I've never seen any series that has quality of production that is totally undeserving. |

Kitchiri said: Or you could say they are smart spending their resource by agreeing to do this series and now being able to associate themselves with its tremendous success ;-)Not that I don't like it - but white fox is sure wasting too much of their worth on series like this lol. |

| L, nice poll selections. |
 |
| It's definitely good, but it's not going to be a highly memorable or completed work (more LN volumes to the story), and probably won't sell amazingly either, so I'd say that White fox IS wasting their time on this. They could be adapting Rewrite or something. |
| its like that for every show. |

Vladz0r said: When you said it "won't sell amazingly", on what basis you made that guess? Because the facts seem to be VERY DIFFERENT, as the discussion in the Sales threads in the News Section of MAL shows: It's definitely good, but it's not going to be a highly memorable or completed work (more LN volumes to the story), and probably won't sell amazingly either, http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=596995&show=40#msg21920001 (anime BD/DVD) http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=599857 http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=596275 (the LN) Vladz0r said: Perhaps you should only make such assertion after you check the facts first.so I'd say that White fox IS wasting their time on this.

| Hahaha I think it's some kind of law that MAL's going to dislike every show I end up enjoying. Though in fairness I can't really say what it is I enjoy about this show (and still enjoy at episode 7). It just works for me I suppose. |

| I'm the only syphilis vote? |
 |
| Oh ya, I forgot my vote: All of the above (your vote) |
|
| I just went with stupid, there has been people saying this stuff since episode 1 and so far Maou hasn't disappointed. I noticed the most popular complaint is "it's going to turn into a generic harem" although so far Chi is the only girl that likes Maou. |
| I went with all of the above. |

     Short of the day: Monotonous Purgatory(MAL) ✰Public Domain Club | One Piece Club✰ |
| Come on Takuan_Soho this is pretty normal for MAL. They only bad thing about Maou is that it is 13 eps.I dont know how long the source is but this is a disappointment. |
| Maou is excellent at what it's trying to be. I went with all of the above. |

| This show is declining in quality? That's news to me. huehue93 said: Because the show is declining? and nice job on the poll btw...

Obviously it might get better but the last few episodes have done the show no justice. I think the scene after the OP in Episode 6 is proof enough that something major will happen. What harem? I only see one girl after Maou. |

I thought it was obvious that Emi and Suzuno were having two different conversation in that scene. Suzuno seems to have misunderstood what Emi meant by "are you going after Maou too" I think she thought Emi meant trying to kill Maou. The heart lunch probably a ploy to get Maou to put his guard down or something. |

| Also how could people even THINK Emilia likes Maou right now? How could she like the person that caused the death of her father, and also ruined her life? |
Solkiskey said: Also how could people even THINK Emilia likes Maou right now? How could she like the person that caused the death of her father, and also ruined her life? They have this weird notion that she's a tsundere. It can't be tsundere if she 100% hates Maou, she is only acting like that because it's still taking time for her to accept that Tyrant Maou and his demon vassals have become what they are today, atleast that's what I see. |

| I am honored you made this topic because of the comment I made. I will choose "whiny little poser", cause I thought that one was the funniest. Posing as what exactly? |

Posing as what exactly? Ah, no sorry to disappoint but this poll wasn't directed at you. I answered you sincerely on the 7th episode thread. You wouldn't have qualified for this because you actually GAVE a reason why you were worried about the direction of the show. A wrong reason I think (in that I don't think this show is going to become a harem), but at least a reason. Posing as what? Sophisticated, smarter than thou, whatever. The point is that they want to be the first to predict a show is going to decline. This type is legion. ssjokg Yes I know this is typical, but it doesn't mean we can't have some fun at their expense! Ah ok, fair enough. I thought you had called me an idiot cause of what I said in the ep discussion thread, but I guess you didn't technically direct that at me. Then I noticed you made this topic right after that. Like I said I like the show, but I almost didn't watch it cause it looked like the typical fan service full rom-com with a wacky plot. It wasn't, and I was pleasantly surprised. The last two episodes have kind of been showing signs of it though. Honestly if they have a bath house episode included in the next 6 episodes I will be pretty aggravated. I understand why the writers/artists do that, cause it sells and people like it. I just personally don't. That is why I liked this show, cause it didn't fall back on those things like practically every other rom-com lately. So if it does go that route, I will obviously be let down. Hopefully you're right and it doesn't, I will finish the show no matter what though cause I enjoyed it and it is only 13 episodes. As you can see though, a lot of people actually want the show to be like that. Not trying to imply anything is wrong with liking it, I just personally don't. |
IntroverTurtle said: Not sure what the heart means but I wouldn't say it automatically means she's in love with him, she hasn't shown signs of such attraction to Maou and since she hasn't been in their world very long she may not know exactly what it means and could think it's just a symbol to show simple affection for another.Doesn't the new neighbor Suzuno like him too? She made him a lunch with a big heard on it. IntroverTurtle said: And Emi said to her "are you going after Maou too". She was talking about Chi as the first, that and the way she acts around him are totally signs that she likes him too. That would be three, which is a harem. Maybe you misunderstood that scene, Emi thought that Suzuno liked Maou like you say, but Suzuno misunderstood Emi and thinks she's an Assassin who's after Maou. I'm sure you've noticed by now that Suzuno is the inquisitor from the beginning of episode 6. The way Emi acts around Maou makes it easy for people to think she's just being tsun, but she's been raised throughout most of her life to fight a merciless demon lord who slaughters humans, it's frustrating for her to see him acting kind to others. |
| yes I'm thinking the heart is a honest mistake. Suzuno said at the beginning that she heard that noodles would be a nice gift for your new neighbors. She is still learning about life on Earth and maybe just copied some Japanese recipes that were traditional (it's a whole new years bento, come on :P) and she might not understand the concept of the heart shape at all. |
Solkiskey said: I think it was more at the fault of Lucifer. If I remember correctly, the Demons who attacked her village were in command of himAlso how could people even THINK Emilia likes Maou right now? How could she like the person that caused the death of her father, and also ruined her life? |

AlexTheRiot said: I'm the only syphilis vote? I'm surprised the syphilis was not on the top of the list. Anyway guys. This show is funny. The worst thing it could do would be to get even slightly more serious. That's why episode 6 made me so happy. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that they changed the opening from introducing maou as a MgRonald's employee to just your typical anime opening. Unless I just missed it. Was funny though. |

| I guess they just want to ruin it for everyone since they were unable to enjoy it themselves. |
| Why do people get so butthurt when a male lead has multiple romantic interests? Are you guys really jealous of a cartoon mcdonalds manager? |
