| Wasn't quite as funny as the first episode, but still hilarious to watch!~ Looks like a threat is about to appear.. I wonder if things will get serious, or stay purely comical? |
| Seems like I'm going to enjoy this show better than I thought. I like the comedy and char interactions. |
 |
| Funny episode ! I laughed so hard 5/5 Loved Emilia -Moe- . Hikasa Youko-san <3 Maou was totally badass <3<3 |

luigi-dude said: Yes... I am really hoping is is somethingspecial, and not just another romcom. Emi is generic and the mc is too nice, need more brutalityI mentioned this in the first episode, but i'm really scared this is gonna degrade into generic romantic-comedy mush with JRPG-derived jokes thrown in. I'm still gonna keep watching, but I really think they played their cards too early with the last episode. I know there was a time skip, but they got accustomed to human life too quickley, and as a result, missed out on probably another 2 episodes of hilarity. I wanted to see Maou go for his Mcdonalds job and say, "Human! I demand you request my servaces and help me aquire funds so that I may pay for my living quarters!"... shit like that. Maou's a bit too nice, first he's genociding the human race, then he's kindly giving an umbrella to a (lets be honest here) MASSIVELY generic tsundere. An anime like this is a guilty pleasure and best not to think too hard about, and it's only the 2nd episode, but I already have an idea where the plot is headed, and that's not good, apparently this version "raped" the light novel so i'm hoping they take a different direction and surprise me. I don't know, maybe i'm just pissed this is looking like it's going to be a generic romantic-comedy when the first 5 minutes of episode 1 were so epic it made me wish the show focused on that stuff instead... dat face though...... |

| Emilia as a customer service rep?! She seems pretty good at it too ... but she's such a tsundere :P I agree that Maou seems to have mellowed out a bit too quickly ... I mean where's the trying to control humans already?! He seems a bit too comfortable ... then again, I love his random evil speeches XD Chiho is ADORABLE out of her McRonald's uniform! Such a cutie in her school one :3 Plus what's with the earthquakes?! Is Chiho involved somehow too? Hmm, probably ... Who's shooting them with magic bullets?! :O TBH I kind of agree and this is getting into the "comfortable" rom-com territory pretty quickly ... I want to see more of Ashiya! He's the best D: |
| You know what I'm loving this anime so far. :) |
| OMG she reminds me of Kurisu The Chi girl = suspicious This is getting interesting |
| I KNEW THE EARTHQUAKES MEANT SOMETHING ok watch: -chiho have a giant crush on maou ( sorta obvs now) and turn into a yandere -Emi end up crushing on maou too |
| Epic win. |
| it was okay, not as good as the 1st episode which was the best 1st episode of the season but still enjoyable. not sure if i like the female lead though. can't stand that "angry all the time abuse the main character" type of female. but we'll see.. |
| Apologize to ALL the Sadao's in the world! <----My favorite line LOL |
 |
| I'm loving this series! ^^ The comedy is so great, and I especially love the voice acting. They make a great couple xD Can't wait for another episode, although I watched this one late anyway. 5/5. |

People should be fair, Emilia really does have a good reason for all that anger against Maou, he after all did try to conquer their world and killed 1,000's of her friends. Who wouldn't be a tad miffed over that? And then imagine, after all her efforts, after all her sacrifices, she finds out that the end result of her actions is being locked out of a cheap apartment while her mortal enemy, who has been reduced to angling for a manager position at McDonald's, completely ignores her. Poor girl, no wonder she is a tad emotional about the situation. i just can't see it like that. if she hates him for killing her friends then she should kill him. cut his throat while he's asleep, shank him on his way to work, hire some yakuza to take him out. anything. not wanting to use magic isn't really an excuse for not killing him. so what she's doing is choosing to do nothing but bitch. and i personally, dont enjoy overly bitchy females, or even males for that matter. so imo, she should either man up and get the job done, meaning: kill him and stop bitching. or do like Maou, and simply let bygones be bygones. |
ninearts said: Yeah, and become a murderer and put in prison for life while she longs to go back to her own world so much. Biding time and explore ways to reach the objective without this sacrifice is much more rational thing to do (not that she always acts rational as her using a 100-yen knife to confront Maou showed).i just can't see it like that. if she hates him for killing her friends then she should kill him. cut his throat while he's asleep, shank him on his way to work, hire some yakuza to take him out. anything. not wanting to use magic isn't really an excuse for not killing him. so what she's doing is choosing to do nothing but bitch. and i personally, dont enjoy overly bitchy females, or even males for that matter. |
| 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. |
| Hataraku is probably the best one out next to gargantia and kyojin. I love the fact that she moves in. *mouthdrop* |

ninearts said: Well I don't see anything you said about using magic to put the girl to sleep in the 2nd episode...Anyway, why not Maou uses his magic to kill Yusha and be done with it, right? Why not his underling kill Yusha and got rid of the risk she is posing against Maou? You can just go on and on about things that those people should have done, even though their not doing that is can be as valid. For example we don't even know what kind of magic Yusha can still perform and how long she can keep using it if she needs to face the full force of law enforcement (yeah, why didn't she use magic to avoid being taken away by police when she confronted Maou?)the magic problem, you saw the 2nd episode right? ninearts said: Indeed it solves nothing and perhaps this is the whole point of her character in the LN - how to face this reality and learns to adjust. And I am sure that even she could tell he is Maou when she pulled out the knife she still wanted to confirm -- bumping into Maou in this alien world is really something very coincidental and I guess a lot of people would really want to see proof beyond doubt and the best way is to ask the person directly.as for your question, yeah man thats what i'm saying. she's sitting on the fence here. as i said earlier, kill him or get over it. being bitchy solves nothing. and wasn't it already confirmed that he was maou by the time she pulled out the knife? |

| I liked this one better than the first one. It was very funny and I'm starting to see the roles the characters will end up playing. I liked the ED too. Maou is probably going to be my favorite character in this series |

nineartsApr 19, 2013 6:23 AM
ninearts said: No, she does not want him dead. She just does not want to let the girl see Maou in his true form because so far both Yusha and Maou are trying to shield their true form from human. And in the 3rd episode we only saw her use magic once, and for a little girl who did not even fall fully asleep. typo, that was for the 3rd episode, not 2nd. and nah, this isn't about maou this is about Emi. she wants him dead ninearts said: Yeah, I read it but it does not sound very convincing..now i'll get back to your question about why Maou simply didn't kill her. refer to my original post since i'm not sure that you read it. ninearts said: Yeah, it just sounds like you pick on her because she bitches, but my point is that you might as well say why Maou or Lucifer did not use their magic or kill or whatever as their reaction is just as odd and problematic according to your logic. You only pick on Yusha because you find her annoying, that's it.i stated: i have a problem with her because she does nothing but bitch so she can either choose to get over it like Maou (which would imply i have no reason to see Maou kill her because i dont find him annoying) or she can man up and do something about it. |

| I loved it! Second place was fine for an anime that is proving to be fun as well as being a genre that I do not like that much. The designs are cute even if the quality has declined compared to the first episode. Narration pleasant and enjoyable! I like! |
 |
| The way this is done is very entertaining for some reason, even though it's not thing special. Something tells me that part-time-work-girl is an "old" enemy too. Next episode will probably reveal the truth. Edit: it may also be the land owner, but how would she acquire all of that in such a short period of time? |

Finished watching ep 2, loved this part: This show shines with its simple humor haha. |
eldon2 said: So far I have been watching the episodes out of curiosity and now I beginning to wonder if I should continue watch the series. Besides the fact there are very few good comedic skits scattered throughout the episode there has been one glaring issue I can't keep ignoring. Satan as described in the first episode murders innocents, attempts to take over countries, and has a taste for revenge. I really do not understand how Emi didn't flat out murder him with the knife or why she takes this truce. Without their powers Satan appeared to be a pure magic guy while Emi was swordsman. Her skills with a blade shouldn't disappear like their magic. Also she is not really looking at this situation from a tactical point which I could understand. Increased chances of returning home if more people are looking for sources of magic. However she lets him live because he is living like a normal human being and ignoring the many crimes against humanity committed in the other world. Although his crimes don't appear to be on the same scope replace Satan with Hitler and try to ignore his past. You just can't. I know I basically criticizing the concept of the entire anime but I would have liked a more valid reason to keep Satan alive. Well put. I initially had this exact disposition as well, but I've decided to leave this aside in anticipation of seeing it get resolved by the end of the series. I do hope that perhaps Maou isn't actually as bad as he is portrayed by the humans. Otherwise, the lighthearted feel of the show will keep me going for now. |
| funny ep. ^^ hmm maybe Hero likess Satan XD |
| Another good ep, lots of funny parts! |
 |
| I really like the comedy in this show! And I liked their little back and forth that they had when they were being shot at haha |
 |
| This is really getting interesting, I never tought that I would like this anime so much. It's funny but with a good plot and interesting characters... |

| The comedy continues with Maou's great evil plans including getting a promotion and discovering how cucumbers taste with honey, lol. The hero is not much better being diminished to a stalker. Yes, this is how reality sucks dear magical anime characters. The good thing for you(and us) is that you are still in anime and some plot with action will follow, which i think it's needed because you can only spend so long making jokes about adapting to life on earth. |

It was obvious where the show was headed once the red-haired chick introduced herself. It's a bummer too, since the first episode genuinely surprised me with its comedy! Like, I had a big stupid grin on my face throughout most of the episode! Unfortunately, the second episode couldn't maintain the first's momentum and has been stripped of most of its personality in favor of overused plot contrivances. If this show continues being as lackluster as this episode, my preconceptions may end up being right. |

| Lol the demon lord/dark lord or whatever sure is nice oO And well liked the 1st ep better >< |
Fatelers said: One of the most boring anime I have ever seen I cant belive I watched all 5 episodes because some of my idiot friends suggested to watch it! I respect your opinion but this show is completely amazing, isnt boring , but is your opinion . You still watching Naruto!! |
 |
| Good Episode!!! Emilia the Hero is the main highlight of this episode and she seems to be quite an honest person at the same time trying to stay by her pride. So I guess she has her own reasons for staying on Earth but it seems she had already found a decent job and a place to stay for now. The scene where she dropped her wallet and forced herself to stay at Maou's place was so funny especially with her facial expressions. She goes by the name 'Yusa, Emi' along with the other two: Maou, Sadao and Ashiya, Shirou!! Looking forward to the next episode!! 5/5 |
  |
| Haha, Emi is an awesome tsundere :D Another great episode, nonetheless. The OP was ok, but the ED was great! |
  |
| this series gives me such warm feelings. Chi-chan has some huge oppai tho |
| Very nice. The dialogue of first scene is a parody of "5.15 dialogue between Prime minister INUKAI and an assassin". INUKAI Tsuyoshi was assassinated by a troop of young commissioned officers in 15th May 1932, but Maou survived. |
| cml-p |
| Very funny episode I liked how they rushed to get their bargains :D And Chi-chan is really cute :3 |
