I like this show. I definitely enjoy how the economic issues are brought up, but I think once entering the discussion they can be discussed and described perhaps in better detail. I do like the impending economic warfare against the Merchant Guild. Take that wheat!

And this shows does have some fantastic seiyuus.

This episode was rich in references but the end was what made the episode stupid enough for me to laugh. Of course I refer to the following,

Looks like SATANIC female has pleasure from her maid. She should just Yuri with her and LEAVE THE F the Hero alone in love.

NO! I did not like the maid putting her nose into the love shit. If the hero does not want the Demon Lord then leave him. He has the 2 other flames and TBH I would prefer he would end up with the magician girl. She looks way better and DOES NOT have big breasts like the Demon Lord female .

About the Satanic female , yeah no one will change shit about me thinking of her like that. To me she is just one big ass and big breasts package to milk out males. It’s rather disgusting to think an ideal of a Demonic female that wants the greater good when she really does not know shit of her obligations and changing them? OH AHAHAAHHA! Please don’t get me started on Fate and Evil cause you can never beat them less you erase your won soul IMO.

Man it’s really ironic how this all goes but at least I am awaiting upon to see her suffer. I have NO RESPECT for demons. Should I? After the kids they sexualize and eat? NO! Never I shall.

About the references, quite a lot actually that are interesting. First of all this:
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prioress[/url]
NOW THIS! This was interesting to remind myself of. A old class of religion long not used or perhaps some Orthodox groups are. Well it still was an interesting read.

The potato! Here:
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato#History[/url]
Obviously all the history of it was changed in the anime. However it did get this:
Potatoes contain toxic compounds known as glycoalkaloids, of which the most prevalent are solanine and chaconine. Solanine is also found in other plants in the family Solanaceae, which includes such plants as the deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna), henbane (Hyoscyamus niger) and tobacco (Nicotiana) as well as the potato, eggplant, and tomato. This toxin affects the nervous system, causing weakness and confusion.

These compounds, which protect the plant from its predators, are, in general, concentrated in its leaves, stems, sprouts, and fruits.[47] Exposure to light, physical damage, and age increase glycoalkaloid content within the tuber;[48] the highest concentrations occur just underneath the skin. Cooking at high temperatures (over 170 °C or 340 °F) partly destroys these. The concentration of glycoalkaloid in wild potatoes suffices to produce toxic effects in humans.

Glycoalkaloids may cause headaches, diarrhea, cramps, and in severe cases coma and death; however, poisoning from potatoes occurs very rarely. Light exposure causes greening from chlorophyll synthesis, thus giving a visual clue as to areas of the tuber that may have become more toxic; however, this does not provide a definitive guide, as greening and glycoalkaloid accumulation can occur independently of each other. Some varieties of potato contain greater glycoalkaloid concentrations than others; breeders developing new varieties test for this, and sometimes have to discard an otherwise promising cultivar.

The toxic fruits produced by mature potato plants
Breeders try to keep solanine levels below 200 mg/kg (200 ppmw). However, when these commercial varieties turn green, even they can approach concentrations of solanine of 1000 mg/kg (1000 ppmw). In normal potatoes, analysis has shown solanine levels may be as little as 3.5% of the breeders' maximum, with 7–187 mg/kg being found.[49] While a normal potato has 12–20 mg/kg of glycoalkaloid content, a green tuber contains 250–280 mg/kg, and green skin 1500–2200 mg/kg.

The U.S. National Toxicology Program suggests that the average American consume at most 12.5 mg/day of solanine from potatoes (the toxic dose is actually several times this, depending on body weight). Douglas L. Holt, the State Extension Specialist for Food Safety at the University of Missouri, notes that no reported cases of potato-source solanine poisoning have occurred in the U.S. in the last 50 years, and most cases involved eating green potatoes or drinking potato-leaf tea.
RIGHT! Totally checked it out and it matches more or less the info of the series. So it was well done.

This notion:
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda[/url]
Quite known but in the case of the Economic Alliance of Free Merchants and Southern Independent Cities, they used the Hero to promote the market. Indeed now commercials is what can be considered as the basis for this. So suffice to say Media eliminated lots of people not needed to boast products.

Wow, the Hero is such a wimp. Poor Maou is craving for some attention.

That is some sick-ass armor he got there. People won't be recognizing him now I hope. I'm afraid the Alliance will be trying something soon though. Maybe even while the Hero is not present.

"Crimson Scholar" and "White Swordsman"

Female Knight and Young Merchant makes their appearances. Demon Queen being jealous of what she perceives as Hero's past affairs was... cute. "Old Flame" #1 and #2, huh. That bad ass armor will serve Hero well in the Demon World.

Also, Useless Meat receives some screen time again.

While I do love the background, OST, and somewhat find the story of what's going on in the world interesting, the characters themselves I find really hard to care about that much and I didn't care for the last 5 minutes which is basically "WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SEX IN 6 MONTHS EVEN THOUGH WE just MET".

Oh, and I wished one of the character was going to say "Stupid potato!" when she bit into one that the Demon Queen(as this series doesn't care about giving characters proper games) brought.

It's not bad but it's lacking. There's something quite not right with script or directing. As someone mentioned, it lacks depth. Koshimizu and Fukuyama are partially making up for it but I still prefer one of manga versions. Maybe it's easier to present it with written narration and dialogues but then we have S&W which somehow managed to do it much better. Only 10 episode left to improve.

Good episode, but not that exciting. Things are moving along, though.
I recognized some voices again, not sure if others pointed it out.
Seinen Shounin is voiced by Hiroshi, who voiced Otonashi from Angel Beats!, Mephisho from Ao no Exorcist, Izaya from Durarara!!. Onna Kishi ("old flame") is voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro, whom I recognized as Inaban from Kokoro Connect!
4/5.

I saw the first episode with a few friends on Saturday night and I thought it was okay, nothing really special imo. The 2nd episode like the first episode, it's a good series with episodes that feel "okay" but it doesn't have the flare of a few other series and also this series is no way near as good as Spice and Wolf. Spice and Wolf was just amazing but this anime is decent at best, there's really nothing that stands out about this series. I will be watching episode 03 after I do this post.

So, I knew beforehand that this series was set up to be a 12 episode series and after the 2nd episode, I wanted to find out more about the source material and to my surprise I found out that the light novel series finished exactly 1 year ago with only 5 volumes in total. Both Wiki and Manga-Updates list them as on-going, the title of the 5th volume does however seem like it's the last volume though. Only MAL is currently listing them as finished.

Is there anyone who can verify this? If there was someone who could, who do you think it would be? My answer is Kit because he's the male version of Hanekawa, he knows "everything"...lol. :lol: But yeah seriously, Kit or anyone else out there, what do you know about the light novel series for this franchise?

It's sorta weird that the LNs have finished, I wonder how much plot it went through because just from the premise, I really don't think the series can come to a proper conclusion in the anime within 12 episodes.

EDIT #1:

Just finished episode 03, it was another okay episode and I enjoyed the boob jokes or whenever Maou-chan gets insecure, its hilarious and cute when she gets all pouty. :D

Episode 04's title sounds interesting, I wonder what kind of developments will take place.

Don't even bother.
Brigandi is one of those people that for whatever reason feels the need to defend this anime whenever someone complains about it.

He can deny it all he wants but i've seen him quoting several people in the threads.

I think that the third episode was a rather good one (compared with the previous two).

Loved the final scenes between the Hero and Demon King (and how could I not enjoy the Maid feeling up Maou) <3

I'm really enjoying this show. Sure, it hops and skips along without getting too nitty gritty but I still find myself smiling at the end of an episode and desiring to watch the next one more then I do with, say, Ore Shura this season.

Maybe it's just because all the talk of Econimcs & Agriculture >>>> War reminds me of playing the various Total War games which I'm totally homo for!

This is like S&W meets Monster Girl Quest meets Medieval Total War!

Uhhh.... actually, Onna Kishi means Female Knight and seeing how the characters are named after their occupations rather than real names, we can assume she and the Female Mage are both female *insert obligatory "You Don't Say" meme here*. If you were talking about the forehead kiss instead of lip-to-lip, then I'd say that he is holding out on it.

Also, I was waiting for that armor to appear. Damn, it's gonna be badass when he starts fighting, because from what we can make of it, he's hella strong.

Looks like the Alliance has a compass now ... and they know that they're visiting the convent. I'm sure this will all tie together shortly ...

This episode was decent. Seeing the knight at the convent was interesting as well as the fact that Yuusha is going to go and try and find the mage now. However, I am a little disappointed with the lack in any development in the relationship between Yuusha and the demon king but I guess they explained that when the maid said he was a virgin so she would have to take the initiative. Overall, I wasn't expecting all that much from this series so it's a little better than I thought it would be.

Lets see what the trip will offer and what our sweet Demon King will do in the main time.
