Well, this didn't feel like a last episode, I guess they counted on getting a second season.
Spoiler for ep 13:
As for a second season, I'm 100% certain that it's coming. I don't know if I'll be watching it, though. I absolutely loved the first 6 episodes, but the second half of the series was a long descent into "ehh, this is not what I signed up for." There's nothing wrong with the show, but I expected more, or something different - I really don't care for the romcom/harem aspect, or the show's general treatment of the fantasy elements/moral issues. In the end, Hataraku Maou-sama is simply not the kind of anime I'm normally interested in, and it's not tweaking the setting and the characters enough to keep my interest up in the long run. (Ashiya getting sidelined doesn't help. :/ He was my favorite, dammit.) On the other hand, the characters are amusing (to some degree - the demons are fine, though Maou is a bit of a Stu, Emi is okay, Chiho is at least sorta cute, but I don't care about Suzuno, or the boring and clichéd boob shenanigans with Emi and Chiho), and more importantly, the seiyuu are absolutely fantastic. If I watch the second season it will be mainly because I can't get enough of hearing the voices and the acting. Congrats to whoever did the casting, they've assembled an awesome team.

The beginning of the ep was such a troll. I thought it made no sense for Maou to get back to Ente Isla like this, and sure enough, that was just a dream. What is saddening is that Chiho never got that affectionate kiss on the forehead.
The rest of the episode was pretty good. They got into trouble because of Lucifer once again. Why are they just letting him freeload? Tell him to find a goddamn job if he wants to buy stuff. Ashiya and Maou are such irresponsible guardians. The scene after the credit was a very fitting one to end the first season on. It's actually brilliant, even. This show was definitely the dark horse of the season for me. I never thought something with such a silly premise could be so good. The series lost a bit of steam in the second half, but it remained highly enjoyable. I'm going to miss this series. It was by far my favorite from Spring.

2 things I noticed at the beginning of the episode.
1) Maou always claims that he does not have enough magic power to return to Ente Isla. He then proceeds to create a portal to Ente Isla and threw Sariel in it, without entering it himself. What does that tell you? 2) Maou fixed a broken city, yet he left his bike in ruins...
