| I like that the majority of people in the poll picked Maou x Emi lol I've been in love with this ship since I started watching the anime back when I was in my teens, so to hear them not be together is quite disappointing. It's just like Bleach all over again. But maybe they won't adapt another season till the end? For like maybe, another 9 or so years? lol I'll probably be in my 30's when that happens haha So I guess we'll just have to cherish every Maou x Emi moment they show us in anime (bc let's face it, there are more moments with these two than with Chiho) and hope they don't go for the LN ending ;; |
| it's like the writer trying to fix his mistakes by making a sequel for the novel lol unless the writer just don't give a syit even after getting death threat,i think mao x emi is most likely going to happen in the sequel |
| This is why shippers are looked down upon. Christ, the main plot isnt even about the romance. Its the action and comedy first and foremost. |

ShadowXBlaster said: novel sequel,what else ? the writer will still continue the story even when the end already seem like ''perfect'' ending for the story,i think you could tell his reason to continue the story againKritoveris said: Giving death threat is completely unacceptable and wrong. Just because the author didn't do what they were expecting, they should not have resorted to such thing. That's disrespectful, even for themselves as a person. That's all I can say for them. it's like the writer trying to fix his mistakes by making a sequel for the novel lol unless the writer just don't give a syit even after getting death threat,i think mao x emi is most likely going to happen in the sequel Honestly, I don't care anymore. I've moved on from this series. I've already expressed my disappointment and I am not expecting anything from the author anymore. But still, can you tell me that what is this SEQUEL thing about? Are you talking about it's Manga getting the sequel? but i'm the same with you,i don't care anymore with this series,the fact the writer made such dumb decision to make mao n chiho a thing,even though it's very obvious majority of fans wanted mao to end with emi,he should've know his decision will cause disappoinment to majority of fans. i also don't care if mao n emi will eventually end up together in the sequel,because the fact she will be his 2nd wife just bother me |

RedCobra75 said: yea ''perfect'' ending but guess what ? this novel is getting a sequel cause it's like the writer trying to fix his dumb mistake. heard vol 1 will release this month if im not mistakenah this shitty post again. maou get both if you don't know the meaning of the ending, its perfect ending already just what the f@ck people arguing at ? if you really want logic chiho is the best girl because she love him from the very begining and care about maou. not like emi who hate him a lot and try to kill him with any chance she can get. think again 0ssh0le. we already get a perfect ending where maou get both chiho and emi so what to argue here ? please ship wars make anime bad, i mean really really bad . weeb trash gtfo, he is demon lord harem ending = perfect ending, he get both for the best of the world. if you still don't get it ? get a real LIFE AND LEARN WHAT IS POLIGAMI THAT EXIST & REAL. i mean think about it the hidden massage in this novel series, did you really want to rejected a girl that actually love you, care about you then choose a killer and hate you ? even in real life ? wow you are the worst kind of human being. |
| I understand your feeling quite too well. The disappointment of loving something, and yet betrayed by it can hurt a lot. I've read and dropped the novel at volume 16. I believe it was when the author decided to pull Chiho to Ente Isla and give her Deus ex Machina power. That was the point where I thought "Uh oh... Are you going to this route, dear author-san?" I wasn't there when the fuse of disappointment in the community were lit up by the ending, but I will never be there either. Yes, the story really built up the chemistry between Maou and Emi. An honest relationship where they are not hiding anything from each other and can banter with each other without getting hurt by it. Of course you have to take my preference towards Maou and Emi's character into account, but I think they can become (and have always been) a good couple. Well... For it to be dashed by the ending, sadly. ---------------------------------- I also have the same, or much worse disappointment with another series, Gotoubun no Hanayome by Negi Haruba. Ever since the finishing of its publication about 2 years ago, I have always wanted to write the same rant as you. Heck, I still have the draft file in my computer right now! But alas, I couldn't finish it as I'm so filled with rage and disappointment with how it ended as I write it and decided to stop writing as it won't help anyone, including myself. Yes, I loved Gotoubun no Hanayome. I was mostly there to discuss it with the Discord community on weekly basis whenever a new chapter came out. I had fun with the community, bantering with each other for our preferred girls, and I had a very good time while reading and engaging with the community about the series. But alas, my love was dashed by the ending, yet again. It was almost the same case as Hataraku Maou-sama where the author literally throws every single plot development up until the ending out of the window just to throw an "unexpected" ending, which turned out to be an utter BS of an ending, in my opinion of course. It was as if the author throws a prank at me and says "Hah! You didn't expect that, did you?" And worse, they did that just for the sake of giving a surprise without putting much substance into it. I don't know if you have read Gotoubun no Hanayome or not. Moreover if you root for the winner girl, then our opinion simply differ. I beg you to not argue with me about how the winner girl deserved to win. I've had enough of that. ---------------------------------- So yeah... It does happen. Getting disappointed by an author. I'm a creative myself, and I understood all too well that not everyone will like what you create. In that case, I can emphatize with Wagahara for pulling a shocking ending to his novel. And I can understand if he doesn't care whether the community like the ending or not. Especially so if he actually like Maou x Chiho pairing and have always planned for Chiho to have such a ridiculous plot device. Lastly for the anime. I will keep watching it for the comedy and Maou-Emi lovely banter. I humbly suggest you to do the same since I see both of us to have a similar reason of loving Maou and Emi. Thank you for reading my rant. 😁 |

ShadowXBlaster said: I knew about that as well. Long ago, I checked it's spoilers too! This is one aspect of Harem Anime I hate the most. I don't know in what sense or for what satisfaction the authors get, that they decide to make such things. Most Harem are "love marathon" with a number of girls where in the end, MC ends up with one girl and others get hurt, but due to the plot, they end up compromising and we end up with this over the top obvious line "Yea, they are happy so I guess I should be too. For Them!!" Though I haven't read it's manga either (I've only watched the anime), but even if it ended with a ship that I liked, I would've felt bad for others nonetheless. And honestly, there are lot of things I want to write so much about but since it takes to much of thinking and sequencing, I always end up losing interest and motivation and I am like "Ahh, screw that!!" Even when I wrote this long Article, I lost motivation so many times but when I remembered again the discussions from other people and realized that how big my disappointment was and that it just wasn't me, I thought that I had to do it. I knew that people were disappointed but I never saw an single one explaining as to why in detail. That's why I wrote such a big one. It also helps reducing toxicity. Judging from the poll results we're not alone in preferring Emi over Chiho. It's a shame the creators don't just do multiple endings, it would likely result in a lot more sales if they keep all the fans happy. |
| I'm also surprised this even got a S2 considering how badly the LN turned out to be and how much hate the author got. |
I may make you feel but I can't make you think.  |
Pred8r said: @zaidRANGER @MizuXArt I've not watched erased but I've heard about it a lot Why was the ending bad ? I'm curious Don't really mind spoilers as I won't be watching it |
| Wait wait wait what. Are you for real? He ends up with Chiho?? Oh thank god I can actually watch this series now. I was totally planning on skipping it because I hate MaouxEmi from the bottom of my heart and thought it was gonna happen... |
| Why would popularity be relevant? Who cares if Emi is more popular or not? LN's aren't written by committee, pairings shouldn't be decided by who is more popular. |
ShadowXBlaster said: Saku_k said: Who cares?! You must still be half asleep to be asking that question!! And did you even read carefully? After all the build up, which was supposedly hinting towards the relationship between Maou & Emi, the conclusion was different. So if you're just writing for yourself, how about you not bait your supporters by showing them something and providing with a totally different thing. And if you do, then don't complainWhy would popularity be relevant? Who cares if Emi is more popular or not? LN's aren't written by committee, pairings shouldn't be decided by who is more popular. But you are only upset because you prefer Emi. If the situation was reversed you wouldn't care as much because the pairing you prefer got chosen. And it's not like there wasn't build up with Chiho either. She has been in love with Maou since the beginning (I know you like to just call it "attraction" instead). |
ShadowXBlaster said: Saku_k said: And it's not like there wasn't build up with Chiho either. 16-17 volumes, that must be a dream... - Through interactions with each other, you get to know each other, start opening up to each other and start building feelings for each other. - Just because someone looks good and is nice to you makes you fall in love with someone. I like the former one. It feels genuine. Affection is also a thing!! While the former might sound nice, it isn't particularly realistic. Attraction is the most important thing in love. I could have the most amazing interactions with someone, get to know them real well, open up, blah blah blah. But if they are a guy, I will never fall in love with them, because I am not attracted to men. That is the reality. Regardless, you are implying that none of that ever happens with Chiho, which is simply not true. Furthermore, you never even read the LN, so your entire argument is entirely irrelevant. You never experienced this so called "bait and switch". You never read all this supposed build up towards Emi x Maou. You watched the first season of the anime, read some spoilers, found out the girl you liked didn't "win", and got upset. If you liked Chiho more after watching the first season, read that Maou ended up with Chiho, then you would be happy and not care about any of this other stuff. You're just salty because you like Emi. We've all been there, where the girl we like didn't get the ending we wanted. it's just the way things go sometimes. |
ShadowXBlaster said: Saku_k said: Salty So I am wrong because I didn't read the LN?! LoL Everyone has different preference. Something might be realistic to others but not to you and same the other way around. Likewise, same could be said for you. Alas=Ramus part must be joke and lie since I haven't read the LN. Even if I hadn't known all of this, and had I watched the Anime till the end if it were to ever reach there and had same ending as LN. I am sure you'd still be putting me in the wrong for not following the original source material and that "Your disappointment is due to your own lack of information!" Why? Because here in this series, your ship won!! Predictable... And FYI, I didn't just read some 2 line spoiler and wrote all of this, I went through a lot of discussions that LN readers were having, a lots of posts and articles before I wrote any of this. My point is, that you were upset before you read all of those spoilers, for the sole reason that the pairing you wanted didn't happen. The Alas=Ramus etc stuff doesn't matter. You didn't read those volumes and think to yourself "oh, this must mean that Emi is going to win!", only to be disappointed when the series finished. Your liking of Emi, your preference for her, is not based on those events. You read that Emi didn't win, got upset, then read more spoilers and decided to use those reasons after the fact, to justify your disappointment. So even if that stuff never happened, you would still be upset at the end if Emi didn't win, because you wanted her to win from season 1. Furthermore, keep in mind that the stuff you are reading online, is written by people who wanted Emi to win. They will only write their point of view, and ignore or play down anything that might suggest Chiho would win. Putting it this way and calling me salty wouldn't change the fact that majority of LN readers were disappointed by the way the LN ended. The former one sounded good and that's what I want to see. If I wanted some real life lessons, I wouldn't be watching RomCom Fantasy with a Demon Lord, Hero and all of that... If the majority prefers Emi, then of course the majority will be upset if she doesn't win. It doesn't matter how they arrive there. The author could've written several more volumes focusing only on more relationship building between Chiho and Maou. They would still be upset, because it isn't the ending they wanted. |
ShadowXBlaster said: Haltija said: Wait wait wait what. Are you for real? He ends up with Chiho?? Oh thank god I can actually watch this series now. I was totally planning on skipping it because I hate MaouxEmi from the bottom of my heart and thought it was gonna happen... Ah yes,the classic "She is best cuz she was in love from the beginning!" That your kind? I can't stand female tsunderes. The idea that the dark lord would end up with some random fast food girl is infinitely more entertaining than the seen-a-million-times tsundere story. |
ShadowXBlaster said: That's your personal taste. You like CHIHO, great!! I didn't wanna do this, but seems like it's time to brag. The poll is there for a reason. So here it goes - Majority of people liked MAOU & EMI, because they liked the development between them, and they consider that EMI is really good. And since MAOU & EMI did not end up together despite it was looking to go that way, there was a backlash because people were hugely disappointed. There's that. I am not gonna bother anymore, cuz facts will be facts!! And I've got proof for that... Yeah if tsundere fans gravitated towards this series because they thought they were gonna get a tsundere romance, I'd imagine they'd be disappointed. And people like me might've dropped it, thinking a tsundere romance was gonna happen. So thank you for making the thread, otherwise I probably wouldn't have known I can keep watching. |
Keep making yourself feel better that way... Anf FYI, it was supposed to be romance between Maou & Emi. Majority of the volumes highly implied that and were about them. Thank the author for ruining it for majority of the supporters who were supporting the series from the beginning thinking that author would end the series in a way he was highly hinting for so long, decided to please you people instead. Reason? You didn't like Tsunderes!! Had those volumes rather focused on development for Chiho, it would've been acceptable.  And him, along with this work of his, wouldn't be in this position in first place without the supporters that he decided to screw over... |
ShadowXBlasterJul 13, 2022 12:04 AM
If the series implied Maou x Emi as much as you claim, then wouldn't it be logical for tsundere fans to have gravitated towards it? :DD |
Well yeah I'd imagine someone who likes a tsundere character probably likes tsundere characters :D I'm not having an argument bro literally just a normal conversation. Y'all are literally incapable of not being confrontational. |
ShadowXBlaster said: But I am sure that you hardly care since your excuse seems to work here "He was writing for himself and did what he wanted." I've literally never said any of this, wtf are you on? xDDD |
ShadowXBlaster said: Ok, that's my mistake. But I am still waiting for a reasonable argument!! Got any?? I literally just said I'm not having an argument |
| Wait, so are you telling me he doesn't end up with the annoying run-of-the-mill tsundere? Great! |
| I actually voted for Emi before reading this post and it only takes 3 minutes to fully grasp the whole situation. I'm thankful for this long post. Thank you for the effort you put in (and the other unknown users as well) and I guess I really am thankful that there's someone or a group of people who really adored Emi as a character. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
ShadowXBlaster said: I think I I knew that actually XD I've been seeing people complaining about it when I saw it, so I knew what to expect. XDUPDATE (written on 05th July 2022 ): Hataraku Maou-sama! by Satoshi Wagahara also gets a Novel Sequel named Hataraku Maou-sama - Okawari, will be illustrated by 029 set after the events of Final Novel of 2020!! Set To Release In July 2022 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hataraku Maou-sama! Season 1 was one of those Anime I remember watching when I was just getting into the Anime. It might not have been the 1st RomCom Anime I might have watched but when I try to remember one, only this anime comes to my mind as my 1st of a kind watch. At that time, I didn't knew anything about Manga or Light Novel as I just started watching Anime. And honestly, I really enjoyed the Season 1 of this Anime. It was just really good, and it still is. (1) But do you have any idea what made it so good for me? At least until you realize what you are in for that is!! DO KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS OPINION IS FROM A PERSON WHO HAD NO IDEA THAT WHAT A MANGA OR A LIGHT NOVEL WAS WHEN HE WATCHED THE SEASON 1 OF "Hataraku Maou-sama!". So I Think It's Fair To Say That I Can Consider Myself A Part Of General Audience Rather Than A Fan. So as I've said before, I had general idea how things worked in such RomCom or Romance Anime, at least a little bit, back when I watched Season 1. Let's get into the spoilers from here - Note: If you don't want spoilers, just go directly to the poll and choose your preferred pair! I know it doesn't matter and it won't change a thing. I just wanted to let out my frustration and disappointment. So I just shared my thoughts... I WISH THAT IT WAS ALL BUT A BAD DREAM BUT IT ISN’T THE ONLY THING I CAN DO, THE ONLY THING THAT I AM LEFT TO DO IS TO TRY TRY TO FORGET Original Post Ends Here My Thoughts On Sequel Announcement Owakari = A Second Helping On top of everything, the Animation Quality!! That could've been the least... |
Zac22 said: I agree. It WAS the same case with Hinata before, but people grew out of it. After all, Naruto had a crush on Sakura then. With this one, Emi and Maou just has that "hate" friendship considering their past differences. In my opinion, it could've been but if we're being honest, it would take a miracle to happen. That's just my word on it, tho. Others will say differently.Well,not a fan of chiho,but not complaining that much. Seeing side heroine win is kind of fresh for me. Not gonna lie, tho. this is off topic. But I do want Boruto and Sarada to end up together. Even tho, the authors might not be leading towards that. |
Zac22 said: Seeing side heroine win is kind of fresh for me. KiroTheAssassin said: I agree. Would it be wrong to to say that the supporters at least deserved to get what they wanted and what they were supporting the series for? You maybe be fine with that, but many people supported the author for years by buying his works. He was obliged to provide at least that much. You can't just gove an excuse to that fact by saying "He did what he wanted!" or "Fresh to see something different!" It's completely irrelevant that what would have happened if the story was different or how people might have responded to the series. Because that's something you wouldn't know, and that it doesn't exist. This series was helped by majority of people whom the author disappointed. And this person here is explained it in a easy way - Why aren't people seeing any of this reasoning behind the disappointment of the fan base? I mean, they are as much important as the author who made the series. Because they are the reason the author went to that position!! |
