It's a shame, I quite like that it's not a school based anime. The older I get the more awkward it feels...
Anyway, it was an excellent episode as usual, I almost decided not to watch this anime as it had all the makings of an unoriginal piece o' crap but it's been fantastic; great voice acting, amusing situations, odd priorities and funny dialogue.
I don't think I'll every rate this anime less than an eight out of ten.

Araragi: *Clueless look* Thanks?

Strangely, I saw SeventhStyle start talking shit about this show after I liked them on Facebook and really can't understand why. Show is absolutely great.


Ah that i saw that too, they are completely trashing this series since from episode 1...i think i saw a lot something like this "whitefox waste its potential by doing this series" or sth.

That was a great episode, had great action scenes and comedy and character development. Glad Chiho is getting progressively more screen time. At this rate, this might be my favorite anime of the season

Owh Ashiya thats way too much of farewell speech & he even went back to get his mantle XD

For some reason I liking Emi with silver hair more.
Damn Maou even he really become a nice guy, he still has that evil mischievous tactic & lol he just want to be early to work.
He really channeling Hokuto no Ken there when he punch Lucifer.

I wonder why all demon turned to human form in this world?
Emi & the other good guys didn't have significant change since they are human after all.
I hope there will be some explanation about that & it will be interesting speculation about their history in Ente Isla.

A surprisingly solid show. The comedy is pretty great and the action scenes in this episode were good.

Really Good as usual imo, so much badassery and flash comedy squeezed in together without affecting each part's effect to the audience. From Cueball wrapped with rope, lucifer with swollen face to Ashiya, really funny xD definiltely Ashiya is one of the catalyst to make funny scenes for the show together with Maou.

Like how Maou teleported infront of Lucifer with that dark smoke !

and Love Emi's character design + them eyes and facial expressions *_* <3

I kinda feel that after this episode the quality is going to drop significantly. I liked it before because it stuck with its concept, but the fact that the Dark Lord adapts this easily to his new world and is willing to not return at any point kinda bugs me.
Also, in the beginning he wanted to return to conquer the world, so if he knew that by striking fear and despair into humans, why didn't he do so in the first place? That is a bit inconsistent with the whole plot. Besides that, so far I liked it, but if he already has his mind made up about staying, I don't see how it's going to keep me interested from here on out. I really wanted to see a show that would fulfill the expectations I had when they started out by introducing a Dark Lord and throwing him into our world, but this episode kinda broke it down.
We'll see, maybe I'm wrong, and I do hope I am.

Episode 05 was so damn good, cracking me up constantly. Lol the faces everyone made when he called Orba a "Stupid Cueball" and how Lucifer's busted face looked like.

Truly a great series and I'm glad I picked it up, I went and read the manga too, only 8 chapters have been scanlated but the anime is already past that material.

Episode 06's preview didn't tell us much apart from Lucifer maybe staying in the human world with him get accustomed with the "internet" and all. I'm glad it's coming out on Thursday, so not very long to wait for.

There are less plot holes than you think. First Maou cannot return home now. Emi's side has won, if he returned it would re-unite the Church, and they have enough power to kill Maou before he could re-establish himself. Creating fear in humans on their home world is also more difficult, because they have already been through a war: its a world of battle tested individuals who has seen everything before, and defeated the demons.

Maou knows this, which is one of the reasons he wants to stay on Earth. As he said in the first episode he would return when he could reconquer. He isn't there yet.

Now on Earth he could "strike Fear" and gain power, but don't forget that the one who defeated him when he was at full power is still watching him. And we have only seen the tip of her power. Don't forget that she is half angel, so she obviously has some reserves she hasn't even tapped into. We are going to soon find out that if fear powers Maou, hope powers Emi. Which consequently means the more despair the demons cause, the more powerful Emi becomes.

As for what is next. More demons, more angels, the ultimate battle for existence, other planes of beings, other gods, learning to take on the responsibility of managing a crew of teenagers. Realizing that everything he thought was cool about being a demon lord really made him seem like a star in a b-movie. What exactly the landlord is, more stranger in a strange land fun, learning to deal with a teenage girlfriend who always seems to be in the center of a lot of trouble.

And no, I haven't read ahead. This is all painfully easy to think up. Have a little faith.

This show is so awesome :3 Love the new OP animation! So nice :D
So we still don't know how Lucifer came back but he teamed up with Olba from the church ... DUN DUN DUN! Shot Ashiya and Maou but that doesn't stop them! Instead they fed off the negative energy and WOW, Maou's scary when he's mad O_O Emilia's true form was pretty awesome too :D
Albert and Emeralda come and find her, but seems like they can't go back anytime soon having used up so much magical power ... and as Chiho asked, seems like Maou doesn't want to either! :O
From the preview looks like Lucifer might be staying with them a bit longer ... this is getting interesting! :P

I'm confused with this!

To say that nothing is true, is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say that everything is permitted, is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

New OP visuals! Or so I think... either way I like it. This was a pretty crazy episode with a well-placed mix of action and comedy. Had some nice laughs in between the more serious scenes.

Both Demon Lord and Hero got to show off a bit - I liked how Emi's long red hair turns white when she activates her power. It's quite amusing how nobody bothered to keep Chiho from seeing the otherworldly spectacle, but I guess that just makes it easier for Sadao and Emi to explain their complicated "relationship" to her. In any case, Satan proves why he's the Dark Lord and why the fallen angel Lucifer is only his general.

Only disappointment for me was that Emilia's allies arrived too late (and left too early) to actually do anything else aside from visit her and see what's happened to the two most powerful figures of Ente Isla. Would have been nice to see her have more allies living a mundane life on Earth with her.

You don't have to wait long....
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Amazing episode with a good animation change in the OP song!!!

Seems like Lucifer and Orba were working together in the first place. The action was pretty decent in this episode and Maou and Emi turned into their devil forms along with Ashiya later on. The scenes were really good and I guess Chiho is the only person who knows about their real identities with the possible exception of the landlord lady Shiba Miki who is still a mystery for now. Emi's team also arrives with two new people Emerada and Albert although the battle had already ended. It seem like Maou used most of his power to restore the city and remove memories of the witnesses there and for now life has returned.

Looking forward to the next episode!!

5/5

Well, they did some fights but still stood faithful to comedy genre which is good. So music in there was really impressive. But they have to be careful not to become slaptick. It was good ep but it could have been better.

And we got new opening, Emi with wings, yay! :) Lucifer stays I guess.

So they can go back but don't want to? I wonder what's happening in second world now.

he can really passionate about certen things, and back in his old world, he was a demon, so it was only natural for him to be so evil
