It's back and the comedy is still priceless and amusing. Shirou trying to spy on the girls was an epic fail moment. He could've done at least a bit better.

However, it was great to see everyone together again including Emi. Some of the bath and fan service scenes this episode were also priceless. Tbh, it feels like this season returned in its glory with the amount of comedy. Serious business will probably come later but that was a lot of comedy for the season's return.

I think this is interesting first episode. McDonald is back and now it comes with McCafe too. And the fanservice has a good balance for people of all gender.

Maou sama back after 9 months. Alas Ramus is as cute as ever. Chi chan is learning magic so she can help Maou, that's nice of her. Dunno how good the season will be. Production isn't any better than the previous season but as a guy who loves this show I'm gonna enjoy watching this.

The designs still look very off, and the story is I don't know... just very boring at this point? Fan service scenes and bath scenes for the heck of it I guess. Some comedy for a chuckle here and there but not much to look forward to at the moment. Hopefully there's some intriguing stuff down the line.

A strength makes right world is pretty much a given when demon's are concerned. Nice to see his workplace tech up the current century. Poor Rika though. After losing your motivation for being the hero i think anyone would be lost. Hmm a bathouse sure is a odd venue for a training session. The image training though was amusing. Still despite the risk it is nice seeing Chi so determined to be of use to her friends. Looks like trouble's once more at the gate.

Respect to Chi-chan for staying strong despite all that she's been through. A memory of the Hero's father followed by the silhouette of that office worker (xD) on the roof, it feels like something is brewing in the air here. Good to see some improvements to Maou-san's McD, that toilet mesmerising scene was hilarious, and the landlady making another unexpected but welcome comeback. 

Doesn't look like there's much of a quality change but I'm just hoping the direction will be better this time around. And if that doesn't work out, I suppose there's at least Alas Ramus. 

nano.Ripe's Op, that's a good start for me.

Our resident fast food working demon lord is back. His precious workplace is renovated to become even better than it was before with new equipment and furnishing. Maou is certainly marveling at its glory and excited to work again. They all had a nice vacation at the beach last season. Now things can get back to normal routines since they're back home with renovated apartment and work. A nice easy premiered showing us how the characters are adjusting after the fiasco at the end of last season. Chiho especially with all her training she's doing. The episode did a great job leaving hints throughout and building up to saying Chiho is trying to become stronger so she's not just a damsel. Learning how to use magic so she can warn them if something happens again. I liked Emi saying how noble that is of Chiho. We'll see if that comes in handy later this season.

The person whose word was to name this season THIS way needs to be behind the fucking bars. Like what in the world is this nomenclature.. just name it season 3 for the love of god lol.

Anyways, forgot this was even supposed to come out today and the blame for that goes to the disappointment which was second season. Though did they improve? HELL NO.

But still optimistic about the rest of this season, after all just can't seem to hate this series. So just looking forward.

Back at it again with the Sunk-Cost Fallacy. Thankfully I know a bit of JP so I can listen to it without having to look at the screen. Otherwise I'd gauge my eyeballs out because 3HZ can't animate for shit.

Chi-chan!!! I love how her little tails moved as she talked to Alas Ramus xD.

"She's the mother but not my wife" lol

The part where they start yelling random things in the bath was hilarious. Ending with Ashiya slipping on the soap haha.

Emi's smile at the end of the OP <3.

Happy to have this series back!

Production values are still shoddy, but the comedic aspects of the series landed a lot better in this first episode. A largely fan service bath episode with some plot set up for the future. The bath scenes were pretty light and funny, had some of that charm of the first season. Shame 3HZ can’t animate for shit.

Chiho learning magic to help out maou is pretty cute, and I wonder what her dreams are foreshadowing. It seems like there actually might be a decent story going on in this season so we’ll see how it goes. Very low expectations though.

The Devil is a McDonalds Worker is back! finally seeing how Satan and Emilia's mom first met play out in full, and how much of an impact she made on Maou back then. 

It seems like some things remain unchanged... Maou is excited about the new Mgronald's, boasting motion-sensor toilets and cafes. Urushihara continues to be a freeloader, Ashiya assumes the role of a housewife, and Maou and Emi reluctantly co-parent Alas Ramus. It's all the usual mundane stuff, albeit lacking the energy and excitement of season 1.

Poor Rika. Ashiya contacts her, but only to inquire about Emi. She deserves better treatment.

Maou may be laid-back, but he can uncover the truth when necessary. He not only noticed Chiho rejecting his date offer but also discovered Emi's lie about their supposed "girl talks." Furthermore, Urushihara keeps tabs on the girls and makes online purchases that strain their finances, all for the sake of Alas Ramus, of course!

To help Chiho develop her Celestial Power, the girls have been going to a bathhouse, enabling her to communicate telepathically in case of trouble. However, this endeavor poses its own challenges for Emi and Suzuno, as they are constantly reminded of Chiho's well-endowed physique during the training.

Finding her father seems to be Emi's primary driving force now.

Although I have a fondness for nano.RIPE, it feels strange to have an opening theme for this show that isn't by Minami Kuribayashi. Nonetheless, the current opening is solid, with better animation than the actual episode. I appreciate the parallel between Maou and Emi's challenging childhoods, which shaped them into the individuals they are now. Emi appears to be distancing herself from her past as Emilia. The final scene of Maou offering her an umbrella, and her warmly smiling at him, was incredibly heartwarming.

hey, at least they got new toilets at his workplace
also the 'girl talk' which was angel training i assume, which i dont understand they keep it a secret... i guess to stall a 20 mins episode MC party trying to figure out why
and nothing else happened
if episode 2 has killer toilets please send me a message, i am dropping this
also i love how both this topic AND the title says "season 2" and under 'Alternative Titles' it says season 3.... so bad

Season 3 is finally here, and yes I’m gonna call it that because the actual name is just confusing imo lol, but it’s nice to be back after Season 2 came out last summer season, it really does take me back even though it wasn’t that long ago lol. It seems folks are already giving this season a lot of hate too, I mean it is what it is, I personally enjoyed season 2 despite the content adapted being not as good as the first, and I think 3Hz is doing a good enough job as well, don’t think they deserve all the hate they’re getting.

And this first episode was a fun one, I like that we were just dropped right into more shenanigans between Maou and the others, I was really curious as to what the girls were hiding and turns out it was something good and not really worth hiding but I can see why Chiho would want it a secret early on, and it’s respectable that she wants to be stronger and not completely useless lol. I also really liked the bit where Alus Ramus was watching TV with Maou, that just felt very real, her reactions and all.

And damn that OP was nice, nano.RIPE always hits and they even bring that nostalgic anime feel which is fitting for this series, it had nice Emi Yusa centric visuals too which I liked. Looking forward to the rest of this season, I hope the content is more fun this time!

I don’t know if you guys have noticed this, I believe there is a noticeable improvement on Ashiya’s facial features from last cour as he’s more handsome even when he is angry. Anyway it was an enjoyable watch and I would give this a 77/100!

It was an alright episode, but I think it was a little weak as a premiere. I know a show doesn't need to have a ton of action scenes to be considered a "good" premiere, but this one just felt like something that could've been tacked onto the end of the previous season, or even just its own thing as an OVA of sorts. Also, still not a fan of Alas Ramus, but I doubt she'll be going anywhere anytime soon... OP is alright, but I think I like the visuals more than the song itself.

Very weak episode just like the entire previous season (season 2-1, or season 1-2? I don't understand).
The 1st season was so good, but since the damn baby appeared everything has gone downhill.
I only keep watching this because of Chiho ❤️
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.
