Loved the female knight this episode! The way she cut through that sword was nice. The Demon Queen looks fine as well. She kinda looks like a nun this episode.

Dat stare:



Another pleasant episode overall imo :3

Seems like female knight is back to being female knight (not as sister) to train the guys.

lol ~ maid chou is too evil!

Wow @ that nervous trade, and seems like the merchant (HiroC's character) is in love with her. Yuusha is afraid of their own relations, it seems.

Yeah,war in Kyokkoutou is coming soon xD
Looking forward for the FuyuNoOu joining that war.

Pretty sad they cut off that battle scene between Karyuu and Yuusha.I was hoping the Anime can do that battle scene.Dat Battle scene in the LN is shockingly lame when its done in dialogue style. lol


What sort of nightmare boob is that >_<"

It was so so though I enjoyed it. This anime still lacks depth compared to Spice & Wolf. Everything is betwixt and between: they didn't go further with economy, they didn't go further with agriculture, they didn't go further with romance, they didn't go further with battle, and so on. In S&W, they went deep into commercial trade (e.g. exchange transaction) from the 2nd episode. In S&W, romance didn't happen in early episodes and it was valid cuz neither of the hero and heroine showed romantic interest in each other. But in Maoyuu, the heroine already showed romantic interest in the hero. Nevertheless romance has not developed yet.

When one character said the negotiation with Maou was tense, I felt it was forced cuz I didn't find it tense. Tense was a negotiation between Holo and a merchant in episode 2 of S&W, for instance. S&W was full of thrilling moments from the 2nd episode already. But this anime is not so thrilling yet.

Since they use the same director and voice actors as ones of S&W and this anime has vibes similar to S&W, it's inevitable to compare this one to S&W.

Return of the dakimakura!

Poor Maou : ( she needs her Yuusha, when she's sad I'm sad too, do not fret though he'll be back! When it was revealed that Yuusha has actually been coming back but avoiding contact with her and his reasoning behind it I was able to empathize with him but still felt sad for her. He needs to feel useful if he is to be hers otherwise he feels the contract is null but the maid reminds him that he is her's regardless. The preview seems they'll be together next week

The first half with the merchant was interesting in how a confrontation almost broke out with the secret soldiers and demons on lookout at the castle in case anything went awry. Luckily Maou is an excellent negotiator and was able to calm the situation. If it did go wrong though, I don't think those soldiers had a chance.

This really should have been a 24-26 episode series. Im sad that they basically put all of Dark Knight's adventures into a 10 second letter. I know Maoyu is not about action but those fights were all really good and I was hoping to see it.

The episode however was still good and the scenes with the merchants and the head maid/hero were nice.

As said it felt a bit rushed... but maybe there will be second season or something.

Negotiation scene was fun - sure not too many details were included but it was nice to see Maoyu using her inteligence (thou I don't think those soldiers were any threat at all).

But I don't get one thing - why Yuusha was hiding? Was he making up his deeds or what was that about?

A tad rushed but fine episode nevertheless. The Hero has a rival in love now so he better come back soon.

Have to say this is my least fav ep so far. Hopefully next week he'll actully face her. The trade talks were neat, but at the same time felt rushed and the merchant went away with the wrong idea. And if I were the head maid I'ld drag both of them into the same room and lock the door till they sort things out. Ah well.

3/5 from me. I hope we see some closeness for them before the final ep -_-.

Yea it sucks because its making him feel worthless in the process. You want to be all cool and take down the "bad demons", but unfortunately this guy seems to take their heart emotionally instead of literally, Demon King included :P

The only thing that bothers me with this series is the random time skips. I don't know if it's in the light novel because I haven't read it yet, but I hate when the characters suddenly announce that it has been six months or a a month or two -even a year- passes when everything looks like it just happened yesterday.

I guess this same reason is why Maou and Yuusha relationship looks rushed but not rushed at the same time. It's only the fourth episode for us, but they been knowing each other for well over a year in the series so I can't ask why Maou and Yuusha like each other so fast.

Anyways, this was an okay episode. I hope (and think) next episode will be better.

That's pretty much the problem...its barely a fight. It winds up turning into a marriage proposal than actual conflict....

That scene where Yuusha is crushed under a pair of gigantic boobs. Cannot unsee.

Otherwise, this episode's pretty consistent with the rest. No big waves or anything, just daily life. They're making some huge time skips but I guess that's cool too. I really want to see Yuusha doing more than being chased around by girls though. Maou is doing the bulk of the work here. Plus, potential love rival? Yuusha should find out about this.

For those who've read the LN, are we missing a lot? Is this series being too fast-paced?

Edit: I'd think by this point the S&W comparisons would stop...they're two different series. The voice actors themselves should not be defining what one series is similar to.

Another time skip? And 6 months? O_O Other than that, I'd say this anime is still pretty good. It kind of has the kind of calm feel to it similar to a slice of life. Also, that BGM when the head maid and Yuusha were talking was beautiful. I want the OST to be released now. Interesting how he's avoiding Maou.

If they made and sold that dakimakura, I'd bet it would make great promo material for this series.

I kinda wished they showed the epic looking adventures they described with the Hero in the demon world. It seems like they're planning on showing primarily the economic side of things in the story...similar to Spice & Wolf, which is good and all, but just seems wasteful to have potentially entertaining material only to have it mentioned with screenshots in hindsight.

It's also interesting how they never actually give any of the characters names besides descriptions as their titles.

I also don't see why she didn't just flat out turn the merchant down from the get-go. She and the hero have already pledged to each other akin to engagement...

Damn merchant, GTFO of Maou.

So it's been 6months. 6months of Maou waiting for her beloved Yuusha SOOO SAD, seeing her hugging that pillow (ugggggghhh fck!sodkjaosk!!) . I'm not angry with the hero since he knows what's best for Maou.

I love the series so much even though no actual fighting scenes had been shown. Sad only 12 eps. , but maybe a second season or whatsoever. We'll just have to wait.

Look at it from Hero's point of view, if you make yourself too available to women or if you show too much interest in them then that scares women away. Men cant say things like "I love you" to women because that frightens them and it makes men look desperate/weak. Nonetheless I dont think that avoiding her completely is the answer either because no matter how much you care about someone if they avoid you or ignor you then its only a matter of time before you get over them and move on. In the story its been several months already and Hero hasnt met the Demon King in person even though he has the power to teleport and meet her every day if he wanted to, he says the reason is because he feels that his role is to fight but she doesnt want him to fight... still though they have been hinting of possible wars in future episodes.

I just hate all these time skips that their doing, they should have showed more of Hero's adventures in the demon realm to make the series longer and feel less rushed.

No, it's about politics and economics. The potatoes, corn, windmills, etc, are just tools used to further their political and economic goals.

I don't think so coz they, in ad break of every episode, keep airing a TV commercial advertising the S&W blu-ray. The viewers would naturally compare the two anime. I haven't seen the commercial in ad break of any other anime.

Mao want to build new opportunities and she want to see what lies beyond that. The Anime will soon reveal it maybe at the near end of the series .Mao now only sowing the seed on the ground and it take time to grow >_<

yes i kinda feeling its gettin boring. I don't know if its just me but the manga version of this is much more informative and exciting. Somehow the negotiation of Ruby eye and Merchant in this episode they kept loosing me on their talk, I can't follow the conversation there is no significant highlights or insight, it took me 4x replay on the scene just to know each detail. It would really help if they got like those flash back scene to interpret what their saying. (TT^TT)

but i was disappointed when they cut off Hero's adventure on the demon world
I was really hoping to see some of Hero's battle scene... and I know i'm complaining much but .. o(╥﹏╥)o kkkuuuhh
