This series is so unexpectedly good. I started watching just looking for some easy non-ecchi comedy and I get an actual story with actual plot twists. The only problem I see is that Maou... Is no Maou at all. Seriously, they don't give us anything to back up the "he destroyed the world and slaughtered millions" backstory. He's not even a jerk or anything... And it's not the story about him changing, he's a good guy from the start, what the heck?
But still enjoyable.

I think this episode kind of hinted that maou didnt actually do all those things and it may have just been lucifer being the true asshole. Maou probably is just a heir to the throne or something but isnt actually evil

This. It's quite clear now that we have seen the nice-guy Maou for the past few episodes; he can't be truly evil.

This anime exceeded my expectations. I thought it would be another of those cliché ones coming each season, I was mistaken. Seems to be fun with a bit drama.

I also found it odd, how come the dark lord be so kind and soft ?

must be some evil minds behind him, but honestly even if there is evil minds he would be worse than all in my opinion, to control all the generals and order them to attack obvsly it's with bad intentions so in short of time he become so friendly and nice? that's still weird me.. but well this way it makes the serie funny, because if he was rlly rlly evil maybe the things would turn out in a different way.

Oh man. Such a great episode.

The landlady is such an interesting character. Her design, the crazy background music that plays when she's there, her aura..... she's just so intriguing.


I feel bad for Emi. Sad story indeed. ='(

And LMAO! I thought Lucifer was a girl when they first showed him with that voice and that hair. xD In my opinion it would have actually been cool if he had been a girl. I feel like it would've given the character an even more powerful aura.

It was nice to learn more about Emi and her past. And I definitely had alotta feels for her when she let out all of her emotions at Maou's place. Glad to see her with a nice friend by her side as well and some supports incoming from the other world.

Oooh so that black winged guy at the end was Lucifer. Things are gonna get even more interesting now with more and more magic people appearing. I wonder who the landlady really is as well.

And Alsiel has got to be one of the most funniest character in this series. Always get me laughing with his dramatic + public prostrations and overreactions haha.

Wow, I am enjoying this so much. I can hardly believe I've really enjoyed every episode until now. It's a fun show with likable and fun characters who can be serious when they have to. Also nice to see some backstory on Emilia, and why she's so hung over on defeating Maou.

Things are starting to get real with one of Maou's former generals practically starting a coup against him. There's no hiding the fact anymore without some memory manipulation now that people have seen that guy unfold his wings. Maou still hasn't answered Emilia's and my question why he's such a do-gooder on Earth compared to his deeds back in their world. Though it could also be possible that the atrocities were in fact due mostly to his generals tasked with conquering the world on his orders.

Surprisingly, the landlady knows a lot more about magic than she appears to be, after launching that misleading talk on Maou's girl problems. I suppose she's also from their world, but who? Reinforcements are also coming for the lone Emilia, though there's no telling how weak those two would become once they reach Earth.

I may be the only one but, I originally started watching this anime because it was quite funny and I didn't think it'd be anything other than that. I was hoping for a humorous and non-plot-driven anime that I can just enjoy every week. However the past two episodes have proved that what you'd call a "serious plot" has been added and to be honest it's taken away from the value and humour of the show, in my opinion. Still weary as to if I should drop this or not.

Wow, GREAT episode! Poor Emilia ... sad past :( It's nice that she has Rika who kind of understands at least ... even if she doesn't know the specifics
I really loved the scene where she just ranted at Maou. Then Chiho walks in with Mikity (lol) ... seems like she knows all about their situation!
AWESOME PART AT THE END! Kind of suspected it was Lucifer ... seems like the generals are alive after all! Does that mean the others are too? His wings though ... pretty *_* Also those two who are going looks like they know Emilia ...
This show is really surpassing my expectations so far, blending comedy and seriousness very nicely together. Can't wait to see where it'll go!

lucifer showing up in the end kind of surprised me... i thought the generals died (except alsiel) but whatever.. endings like these is always the reason for me to continue watching.. i get the feeling that the 2 newcomers will get involved as well.. but i have a bad feeling that maou will be pathetic in the upcomming fight, if i were to predict anything it would be emi who took the fighting role to get revenge, since it was lucifers command to destroy her fathers house, farm and life..
but nooow what will happen.. this will bring big commotion about, they shouldnt be able to get back to their usually lifes after getting involved in this.
also i bet the newcomers will get trapped in the world along with the maou and hero.
then again i wonder what happened to chi-chan.. if she was used to give him lucifer power, how could she possible survive such a closeranged explosion.
looots of unanswered questions and things i could predict.. i could write 2 pages about all of my predictions and opinions but that would definently be a pain..

but its because of letting my own fantasy run wild and make predictions, give opinions and guess on the next events, that watching and following animes is fun :p
but i'd really wish there would be abit more about the magic... its wierd how it just comes and goes during these first episodes -.-"

Interesting episode.

Lucifer was actually one of my first guesses for our shooter and I'm not that surprised to see him. For one, he was the guy in charge of attacking Emi's home. We also saw the least of him compared to the other generals.

Plus, the dude's name is Lucifer which just kind of made me think we'd see more of him.

Who the heck is Miki? I hope they revisit this soon despite them seemingly just leaving it to go after Chiho. Would have liked a bit more of a reaction, but it did just come out of nowhere so being thrown off makes sense.

I don't quite get why Chiho reacted quite the way she did. It's not like they were caught in some compromising position, though maybe the idea just wouldn't leave her head. Would have been nice to see more of her relationship with Maou since it feels perhaps a bit soon to already be going to this place.

Lucifer seems to have access to quite a bit of magic and his comments make me think either Chiho is special or perhaps magic in our world requires some sort of emotion to power it. Like Green Lantern rings being powered by will, but perhaps from an outside source.

Not sure where this show is going to go from here. Given that it is still going, I assume it is just going to cut off. Would like to have multiple seasons myself.

Very good episode!!!

I liked the scene where Emi was being treated by Sadao and we also get to see a bit of Emi's past and how briefly shows how she vows to herself to defeat the Demon Lord. Seems like the one behind the incident is one of Sadao's General named Lucifer and the other two members from Emi's side are attempting to help her but it seem like we have someone who has problems with gate-sickness which made me laugh so much!!

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out in the next episode!!

5/5

Lucifer, so he was alive. I expected the bad guy to be ex-general of Sadao, that's why I suspected Ashiya for a moment, but I'm a bit relieved the bad guy is someone else.

this isnt tsundere.

she's just not adjusting very well to the inversion of the whole hero-villain dynamic being twisted around.

her better sense is telling her this is now a decent guy doing heroic things.

Her lifelong beliefs and training are telling her this is the DEMONLORD responsible for so much death and slaughter and they should be locked in eternal mortal combat in the everlasting fight between light and darkness, good and evil....and...

well its put her into quite the odd huff.

Oh man, Lucifer looks pretty cool.
And amazing episode like always, pretty sad also.
I feel bad for Emi and Riki since they had such a bad past. They really do seem like good friends. :D
I was also expecting Maou to hug Emi when she was crying, but i guess not haha.
Emi is pretty cute when she cries. And that face when Chi-chan intruded on them. XD.

This might be a little early but, Emi x Maou pl0x.

The plot thickens.

I freakin knew it! Maou might not be all bad, maybe it's all his general Lucifer's fault, like killing Emilia's dad? Since it's not Maou that's leading the forces.

As for Chii-chan's misunderstanding, a woman in his house, and we should've known what that means. A woman don't just go to a man's house like that, not to mention they never really cleared up their misunderstanding before.

Hataraku Maou-sama is so enjoyable!
