and that's daimaou for you! super-(FTL)-fast pace, panstu everywhere you can lay your eyes on, garness, GIRLS, nudity (unc. version), magic, tecnology, monsters, and recently time-travel and terminator cameo too. uh, oh yeah, there's a story too, a plot, but lol I'd say who cares... just gimme tha GIRLS, tha pantsu, and awesome badass fights... god, I love this show, especially last eps, yeah I know they were rushed and sometimes they didn't immediatly make sense, still lots of questions without answer... but it's cool anyway.
Now, I just can't wait for ep 12, and obviously dvd/bd specials.

I meant in comparison to the earlier eps. Atleast you kinda saw what was going on here.

I prefer the coat though than seeing his naked abs body all the time.

if it's just uniform their is fujiko with always wearing cape. And the student council being a student council had their own preference of clothes.

Like I said, those are accessories, which aren't part of the standard dress code. They all are wearing the white top, blue skirt, red bow, black stockings, and brown penny loafers...but Keena's is the only one with the cross on her top. Unlike removing a cape or coat, you have to take a lot of time to remove the stitching from Keena's top, and vice versa (easy to put on a coat or cape, but a lot of time to stitch the cross)

mangatron's explanation sounds pretty reasonable, though.

Yeah, the other girls are wearing the same thing, and then some, but Keena is wearing something entirely different with that cross. Even if we think her anti-oil spill cover (I wonder who else knows what I mean) is unique, that could have simply been added, but not the cross.

So to add to the hilarity, what if Bouchizo lost his mind after all these failures, and he says to Keena "didn't I embroider that cross on your uniform?"

Oh man I hope that dove gets some screentime. Maybe now Keena won't have anywhere to go if Sai asks her again if she is the one of his past.

[Francismeunier]

Yeah I know about the GIFs being so behind and I know farming is keeping me busy but I will be short about my thoughts of this episode. Yeah the GIFs will be amazing once I get into it soon enough. Anyways Yuuko time was really nice in this episode and how I at her smile here =>

but also her pose here=>

Spoiler:

also her monster slashing was like someone loving to butcher. Yamato at this part=>

Spoiler:

had a nice reaction of me like the most amazing thing that got featured in this episode. Etou here=>

Spoiler:

anyone like me being like this: at that? This was a nice intermission too of Junko=>

Spoiler:

Overall it is 10/10.......especially Miwa's sudden Anti-Demon Lord mode and his fight with Sai/Peterhaussen although short and big ship.....that was a nice add.

I think it was a call back to episode 1 when Junko grandma asked Sai to "take care of her" .

And if I remember correctly "I'll take care of you" is one of those Japanese stock phrases that have strictly codified meaning and is always meant romantically. Similarly to "I'll protect you"

Heh one thing I learned is that while you can learn something about a series from opening trying to do the same from ending is pointless. Just check out Needles if you need proof

I don't know, Sai and Keena relations always seemed purely friendly to me. They never had how to say it "romantic tension" between them. They are important to each other but rather as friends than anything else.



Keena is mostly important to plot as a walking Mcguffin.

[Saturn Beaver]

So due to exams literally being less than a week away and most of my free time spent watching World Cup matches, it seems that I missed at least three pages of discussion here...I skimmed it, but there doesn't seem to be an ongoing topic going on (there's talk about screenplay here, Lilly's chest there, and the usual speculating time with Eikotron). Don't have time to think and write long-ass theories so I'll just wait and see 'til next Friday.

And about the last episode, I'm not expecting an end to the romantic entanglements (that's asking too much for a harem anime, all I ask is an official declaration of the girls to be part of Akuto's harem). I wonder how they will answer all the question in just one episode, hope they'll at least answer the important ones leaving the rest to be answered in the future.

Heh figured the World Cup has your attention But as for me, I'm just spending time not accepting the part where Bouchi spent his past zillion of years trying to save those Law's of his and failing every time. Sure, I can accept Terminator Keizou (was starting to think Korone was getting lonely in the non-human department), I, as well as no one else, can't figure out the headmaster bouncing from one scene to the next. So, while I've got my head in E3 again (it's been 6 years since my last assistance to that, and I haven't been this excited since), as well as research and hopefully some free time left to a couple of 4koma's before series end, I too am thinking of just waiting and seeing. Well, that and... I guess my Eiko will have no more appearances, ja? by the way the Lily chest discussion was funny, because it had some valid sense both ways

And about the last episode, I'm not expecting an end to the romantic entanglements (that's asking too much for a harem anime, all I ask is an official declaration of the girls to be part of Akuto's harem). I wonder how they will answer all the question in just one episode, hope they'll at least answer the important ones leaving the rest to be answered in the future.

This last episode will be a strange one. 1, they'll need to address Bouchizo's desire to control the gods, 2, they'll need to explain Keena to some extent at least, 3, they'll need to have some God-time in here, 4, Brave versus Maou would be embarrassing if done too short, and 5, have at least some time for the rest of the cast.

Knowing the pace so far, maaaaaaybe those above points would be done good. How funny it would be if Lily ends the series by stealing another kiss from Sai

[Lady Orihime]

Friend of mine (sheetz) translated the summary of episode 12 for meh:

Spoiler for for episode 12:

Bouichiro brings Keena to Suhara. He attempts to bind Keena, the "law of identity," to another by contract in order to control the gods. But at that moment Akuto appears and the two commence battle.

Finally Akuto defeats Bouichiro and regains Keena. She knows that by fulfilling the "law of identity" contract as an agent of the gods she is a being created in order to destroy mankind, i.e., the Demon King.

But that role is denied, and the god's defense system is put into operation to oppose Akuto, who declared he would "kill the gods." In order to end the story of the gods' treachery by the creation of the Demon King, Akuto wagers his life in a dual with them!

Really? Hmmm...because Akuto said this to Keena in episode 8:

I don't plan on taking away your freedom, either. And if anyone ever tried to do that, I would protect you, no matter what. (boku ga zettai ni mamotte aru) I promise.

I don't know, Sai and Keena relations always seemed purely friendly to me. They never had how to say it "romantic tension" between them. They are important to each other but rather as friends than anything else.

Did you not watch episodes 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11?

If he can time travel, then why not try to go back in time (or forward if he's from the future-- this is confusing) to save his beloved blond Keena? And you know, this whole thing about Akuto and Keena somehow being "reincarnated" and falling in love all the time reminds me of Xenogears. Bouchi = Grahf? He even grants power to Heroshi!

... I think it's just my Xenogears fanboyism speaking.

Hey glad to see another xenogears fanboy here!, bouchi can only hope to be grahf, he aint as strong and wicked as grahf

Yea same here, i also have that "wait this kinda seems like xenogears" with the way akuto and keena seems to be reincarnating again and again

..... i need to play that game again, one of the best ever storyline

[OkamiNoKaze]

Watched episode 10, It did as others have said, had a bit of hectic pace. But I still rather liked it. Liked the little moment between Sai, and Junko.

OK here we have it. All the proof I need. We were both wrong man. Sai isn't gonna end with Keena or Junko, He's gonna end with Keena and Junko .

How foolish of us to assume he will limit himself to just one woman. He is maou after all.

So threesome for the win.



BTW Do you guys think there will be second season? Since the novels aren't all covered i think it will depend on how good it does.

It looks cool, but what happened to Brave? lolz, don't tell me he'll be dealt with in secs

I just hope it'll get a S2! actually there are 9 light novels volumes out, and this series covered up to vol.5 (if i'm not wrong); so, when vol. 10 will be out, they can easily green-lit a s2 covering vol. 6-10, and make it super-FTL-fast-paced(-DaimaouStyle) like this one.

[mangatron]

I told you I had that feeling Brave is going to bite the dust quick

Whew, I thought I was the only one who remembered previous eps. Just when I decide to stop talking to myself here it bites me in the... pinky toe

Except when a different writer "dials" in an unscheduled story development, the "ship" will drop out of FTL

Seeing as how the end of SGU Season 1 ended up, dropping out of FTL = vewy, vewy baaad

[eiyuu99]

Akuto doesn't have to end up with just "threesome". He is Maou after all.

Yeah, from the start I'm already rooting for OTH, so I hope that's how it's going to end. Oh, and what exactly is FTL the acronym of? For the Lose? And mind reminding me again what SGU means exactly? Okay, halftime's over, I'm going back to watch Portugal vs Cote d'Ivoire...

lol, I thought most of you got my/mangatron's joke. Anyway, here -> http://www.gateworld.net/wiki/F.T.L.

I just recently marathoned SGU [stargate universe], since s1 ended, lolz... that's why the term "FTL" is still echoing through my head.
btw, I think it's appropriate for DaiMaou, lol... faster-than-light-pace... oh, but, then, we shouldn't have been able to see it.... or is that what really happened? we saw something happening and passing by, but it was too fast to get a full understanding about it. XD

Strangely, why doesn't the suit get mass produced? Too expensive?
