This episode was great and funny.

For example, that udon scene was funny especially when Ashiya got a stomachache.
Also, dem burgers. Dem swimsuits, especially Suzuno's first swimsuit.

That haunted house was creepy, especially that mother part.
But that monkey was fun to watch. And it's name was Sadao, lol.

That crocodile scene was awesome. When Maou started gathering energy, his awesome theme song started playing. And then, he used that energy to save the humans. And it's been awhile since I've heard Entean. Maou is badass.

James is an angel! Funny how everyone still calls him James.
A battle is surely coming soon.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

So, anyone knows if this is filler or really included in the LN? It was enjoyable but the only downside was that it felt like an obligatory fanservice ep.
I wouldn't be asking if it didn't matter.
I actually just wanted to know lol
I guess he may be in some bad mood, as I don't think you meant to criticize this episodes as some have done in this thread.... although I always think the word "filler" needs to be used carefully (but unfortunately it is not the case among western fans) because it somehow seems to have a negative connotation. In Japan, such episode with story not from the original novel/manga is usually called "anime original episode" which I think is much more neutral in meaning.

Anyway, to answer your question, from what I read in 2ch, this episode is indeed an anime original episode, but it got a much better than feedback than the last anime original episode (when Mao, Emilia and Chi-chan went to the school at night) and one big reason is how the episode carefully incorporates many elements from the original novel and also develops the characters and provides references for the plot as well.


I see. Thanks for the info :)

It's actually quite refreshing to see Hataraku getting recognized in Japan... it even topped some polls leaving Shingeki at just the 2nd spot.

Everyone was just too cute this episode. Badass Maou!

Those facial expressions. Quality work, White fox.

Volume 9 comes out August 10. It's just that there's a major plot development that takes place in volume 3 that changes the direction of the story. They didn't have enough with just the first two novels so they added in the little bit of extra.


So can we assume that a season 2 is pretty much confirmed?

Lol, people whine like a b**ch when anime got rushed, but when thing's a little slow cuz they don't want to ruin it (not to mention adding in a little extra), they still troll about it... lol.
Cliche ? Sir, u're watching too much for your own sake, just becuz this is your 1001th series u've watched doesn't mean you have to judge it with EXP you earned... eh sorry... with knowledge (lol) you gathered from previous 1000 anime, it's total BS, I know most of you do that, admit it plz.

Lmao at Alsiel and his imprisonment in the toilet. It was hilarious to watch them make fun of the name Sadao again. Lol looks like Emi was right earlier about that being a lame name.

Emi in a bikini <3. She had some really cute moments and her reactions to Chiho's giant hamburgers was great haha.

Everything I've read states that Hataraku Maou-sama is the surprise hit of the season, so I imagine that there should be a season 2 sometime.

Mediocre episode. It still had it's nice moments but the humor started to go down a little, also i noticed a drop in artwork quality and i guess is about time some more exciting events started happening.

Still though always a pleasant show to watch.
Emi makes her usual awesome faces.


Some nice fanservice

Lol.

Okay but on a more serious note: There is no plausible way that Chiho does not know that her swimsuit doesn't fit. There's just no way. If you ask me, that's some kind of subtle way of breaking the fourth wall. Like the creators were just like "hey viewer, u liek bubs? ;)" because no matter how slow Chiho may be, she's not that slow. Unless she's just a total manipulative attention whore and and we just haven't figured that out yet.

I enjoyed this episode, despite moving the plot (or what there is) very little

But it's not like I ever decided to watch this in the first place because of plot. Hell, the idea of Satan working at a fast food joint appealed to me.
So long as you yourself enjoy it, what does the thoughts of others matter to you?

That haunted house was crazy scary, I dont think I could handle that irl, also i was a little disappointed about how little magic we have been seeing lately but its always cool when they use it. I think this series started off really good but imo it has gotten slow but definitely not worth dropping, its still entertaining.

Kinda figured out the Sentucky manager was from Ente Isla because his 'horrible smelling cologne' was actually the paint that splatted on him when fighting Emi.

But man I love Maou's theme you know something epic is gonna happen when it plays.

Poor Ashiya ... eating all that udon XD Poor guy, life just doesn't go right for him lol :P
Ah, Chiho in dat swimsuit ... poor Maou doesn't even know what she's looking for when she asks him XD
The haunted house and reptiles ... oh my XD Emilia and Chiho sure have different reasons to fear reptiles LOL XD Not to mention Suzuno's story about eating them ... omg XD Plus that child in the haunted house ... I got kind of suspicious about it after a while and I SUCK with scary things so you can bet I would've been running out of there just like them haha :P
We get to see Maou being awesome and ordering the crocodiles around?! :O Awesome stuff! Love the music at parts like that too :P Suzuno's so confused ... what IS he planning? Plus that Sentucky's shift manager at the end ... what, he's an ANGEL?! O_o Well obviously something was up with him but I'm surprised THAT'S what he is ...

I am pleased that this episode was amusing despite it being possibly condemned as a filler. The talent that is infused into the humor of this show is fairly consistent in every episode. The best moment was the comparison between Emi and Chiho using the burgers. I don't think I was able to escape a laugh when Ashiya's face turned stone-pale either.

Also, it is sad to see that there are only 3 episodes to go, as there doesn't seem to be enough time to reach a grand ending. I am really looking forward to a second season. It would be such a stunning sight if the plot advanced towards a series of melodrama to contrast the lighthearted tone of this season.

On a final note, Suzuno is so much hnnnnnnnng this episode!
