| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Nice to meet the maid this episode: Dat near kiss: Anyways, I enjoyed the latest episode. Those moments between Hero and the Demon Queen were cute :> Not much happened though but that ending seemed interesting. |
 |
| Experiment to create their utopia. lol @ "marriage". Maou is very tactic and the maid is very cooperative. "Slave-like" people, who eventually became maid helpers. Oh~~, KajiKaji voicing one of the students!! I wonder what that secret item is. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| The episode was meh, 3/5, but i think that's because i still cant get over the fact that everything (especially voice actors) makes me think of spice and wolf... so i think i can consider my opinion to be biased. |
| This ep pretty much reaffirms the Spice & Wolf vibes. Love it. The imouto maid sounded like Hina from PapaKiki, but alas. Still, she's adorable :D I can't wait to see what happens in future eps. In the OP, the maid is seen bleeding with her arm missing indicating there could be some serious shit going down later. |
 |
| So now that they've started their plan to change the war by teaching a village economics what do I think? Still too early to say but I enjoyed the banter between everyone; the maid we were introduced to was different than I was expecting her but Eri Kitamura doesn't fit a maid that well imo. The voice acting was fine but it just didn't fit. It's nice to see such a straight forward heroine who doesn't beat around the bush. Her being so shy to ask for a lap pillow was cute. I also like how the hero responds to the heroines declarations of love also. He says it in a indirect way by using the pronoun "We" instead of the standard "I'm ..." |
| Maou!!! Why u sooo CUTE?!?!?! Really all her blushing and pouting scenes were pure moe! I need to get my body ready before watching each episode XD Also nxt up...Female Knight. Can't wait :) |
 |
| Things are moving along nicely, soon we will get the Dark Knight. |
aphton said: About "that near kiss" How funny it may seem i tried it. It worked. Perfectly. Dunno where this picture is coming from. About the episode. I liked it. For some reasons i really appreciate slow-paced shows and enjoy them more, than those fast-paced titles. And yeah, watching Maou and Yuusha is fun. |
  |
| I just can't get over my Maou feels ;3; she is the cutest ever omg. Also ngl the Hero is pretty entertaining despite being a kind of generic protagonist. I'm looking forward to getting to see more of the traveling party he left behind, though, omg. The warrior chick looks so cool. |
| Ich verstehe nicht |
| what was that? cuting off bouncing boobs and giving instead cute interactions between Queen and Hero this is direction that I like a lot also that Maid, nice character even if she sucks at conspiracy (but most there do) but seeing them working towards the goal... if they keep up with the chemistry between characters and background it might be one of best series this season |
| man in my mind, im just watching spice and wolf season 3. HORO HNGHHHHHHHHHHH |
    |
| Yey:) Inaban will be in next episode :) |
| lol @ the kiss scene. Happens every single time! Imouto maid was very cute. |
 |
| Not too shabby of an episode. I liked it...I do think they are rushing the romance slightly but still... aphton said: About "that near kiss" Well, she is a Demon Queen...perhaps that's her special power. lol |
| AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Can't stop looking at Maou's boobs dammit . |
 |
| So far, no name given to the char (´`) ... Since I am bad at remembering names in Anime(in real life as well), I guess this is a plus to me War that doesn't receive special procurement ,economic self reliance is their main goal from what I see. Well, let see what Mao experimenting will benefit xD |
| I loved this episode and I can't wait to see the characters development. How cute can the little maid be *.*. |
| If you want me to read your post (discussion related), let me know on my profile since I don't go back to threads usually. |
| that boar was HUGE! 4/5 |
| Really liking the interaction between Hero and Maou. Refreshing to see the main "couple" responding so well to each others feelings right away instead of the usual embarrassment/cold attitude we usually get until the final episode. |
| So Maid Chou took two serfs and made them serfs of her own? Instant favorite character of the season. The Maou/Yuusha relationship was more palatable this week but still nothing compared to Holo/Lawrence. |
| Well played there Maid Chou, well played. Decent episode. |
 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| OMGOMGOMG! :D This might just be the best series in this season :D When the ending credits started I was "WTF already?!" xO I'm so hooked up, I can't wait for next episode... |
| Art should be left alone by those unenlightened, raw and uncensored as it is, because enough refinement was already done by it's creator, in it's creation. |
| I'm so loving this. |
 |
| Not bad at all. Maybe the romance is slightly rushed but it still feels pretty natural to me so I'm happy with it. Yay, for no bouncing boobs this time. |

insan3soldiern said: Yay, for no bouncing boobs this time. Agreed. Maybe that's why I said their relationship was "more palatable this week." >_> |
| That Head Maid is cold but fair. haha |
| It's second episode and we're already into love-bird mode. Well, at least it doesn't feel quite sudden since the two basically look like beginners in this relationship. It is also in second episode that we see how this series will run. Judging from the attempt to spread crop rotation, it looks like Maou will be delivering relatively advanced knowledge to what is essentially a Middle Age era civilization. Lifting up the people little by little through education. But it's a little disappointing in some respects, because the issues that will be presented in this series won't exactly be intellectually challenging. Crop rotation, math, and basic economics are common knowledge these days. At the end of the day, this "uplifting" is going to seem somewhat artificial because the setting is just so backwater. But I enjoyed the episode anyway, and this series is setting a good tone so far. It definitely is looking like one of the top for the season. The question I guess is: how come Maou hasn't taken over the world yet? If she's able to implement all her knowledge in her country (and she reigns supreme there), the demons should be much more advanced than the humans... Next episode Onna Kishi will be making an appearance. Time for some romance rival I guess. |

Thats my feelings as well, rather liked this ep. As to the question on above in reguards to the demons, from the way Maou has talked in these two eps, I assume she has a fragile hold on the demons, there numbers are small, or it might be more of a feudal set up where shes technically a figure head atm. |
| Ahh the maou is so cute :3 Didnt expect that both of them are already in the love-bird mode too. Nice scene at the chimney, let's how it developes. 7/10 |
| that was one cute scene in front of the fire. Less bouncy boobs and more blushing and shy but still very direct with her wishes maou is welcome. And an almost kiss in the second ep already? Yes please. Btw, with all this infos we get in this anime, this isn't quite as lighthearted as expected, but I'm not complaining here |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| Really enjoying this adaption, i initially thought the designs would bother me when compared to the manga (even though this is technically a novel adaption) but whatever unease i had about the designs are completely gone, the animation and designs work just fine. Can't wait for the introduction of Female Knight :D |
 |
| thankfully this wasn't a boob feast like last week Much better episode the relationship between Hero and Maou isn't half bad it maybe progressing a bit fast but i don't think that's the main focus of this nonetheless its entertaining to watch :). nice that those Serfs turned into maids. |
 |
| People expecting action most likely will be disappointed for a long time, since majority fo the series seems to be in the genre of Macroeconomics, which is perfectly fine with me. Fucking awesome episode as always. Gives off a S&W vibe, but in a different way(After all, S&W was mostly micro-economics and overall merchant-job, while Maoyuu is macroeconomics and politics) Loved Head Maid's talk about self-respect. 5/5 Hakuromatsu said: So Maid Chou took two serfs and made them serfs of her own? Instant favorite character of the season. The way I see, "maids" cover-up is temporary for them, as they are "being made into people" so to say. The overall view towards maids in the society like this seems to be more respectable and human-like. The way it seems to work here is that they are more akin to japanese geishas - well-educated and more like caretakers than someone to be ordered around.

It was talked about in previous episode - Demon world was not that different from Human - a bunch of nations squaring off against themselves, that got united under one banner against a common threat - Demon King even stated that there is already a bit of scheming and in-fighting there. |
 |
| It seems like they got rid of bouncing boobs and continued with the plot. A good episode, hopefully more entertaining next week. |
| Good one this week, a little slow, but enjoyable. Can't wait for next one, looks like Hero's guys are about to show up in that village. |
 |
| A good episode, but doesn't get you so hyped. Let's see what the secret weapon is in the next episode, from my guess, it could be some magic seeds, or sth, from our civilization, maybe not!! |

SomePerson said: Or it could be an adaptation thing. Like a game or something. Personally I like demon king, hero, etc. Easy to remember for me. I'm guessing this emphasizes their "roles". The maid's actions were pretty predictable, and the harshness wasn't completely unwarranted. [Stand up for yourself.] Technically its just the translation of what they are named. Shes Mao (maou) and he's Yusha. (yuusha). I mean the words do sound like names. Reguardless I think its made like that on purpose. Its ment to be a story bookish from what I've seen. Just watch those two will get even closer and we'll have a happy ending. Not that I mind that at all. |

| Another good episode. That maid was a little tough, but she's ok I guess. |
