It's Asmodeus and Satan who appear in episode 8. Beezlebub appears later, but I can't remember if any of the others do as well.

[MeoTwister5]

Ep2 TIPS lists all seven of the stakes, but this is more likely because of the stakes being used rather than having them actually appear. Like Marion said Satan and Asmo are supposed to be shown.

I could swear episode 29 of Hetalia used Umineko's grandfather clock sound....

But maybe it's just the generic one....

Yeah, that's what it reminded me of too...
Though it probably is a rather generic sound.

It's produced by the same studio after all.. budget budget budget you know =X or audio library! Though I don't know it these shows use the same sound department.

Gah It's not fair they already showed Asmo but not Satan! :O anyways is it only me that finds Asmodeus appearance epic? XD

Nope, I do as well. X3

Satan's design will probably come out before the next episode. :3

[Kitsu]

or maybe they end the episode after Jessica's death. *wishful thinking*

[Marion]

I don't think anymore designs might even be released. I think they did Asmodeus because she appeared first and Lucifer since she's the eldest. Their designs are all the same, so redrawing them with a different head, face and hair would be a little redundant for just flat designs, when they all show up in the anime eventually either way.

I think that the other stakes will just get headshots like Asmodeus did. There's no need to go and release full body pictures for them, but they still need to show what they look like. Besides, Asmodeus isn't the only one who appears next week, so if that was the case then Satan should have gotten the same treatment.

[Saerianne]

I am so excited for this next episode. It's a given it'll be epic. Going from Mystery to murders with lollies and super skanky girls will throw everyone around. =D

[Avisch]

Just here to say..... "yay bring on the Stakes!", this is arguably one of the scenes I've been most ready to see animated (right next to the Ep2 Teaparty, and......practically all other major fights).

People might hate for me to say this, but I do hope they over use the SABER sound-effect (cause it was funny/awesome as hell in the novel)

Spoiler for EPISODE2 details:

Did more than one goat appear in the novel? I atleast know that Kanon only fights one. But the preview shows more than one appearing.....maybe he gets to go GAR and fight a bunch of goats.

EPISODE 2's arc extends all the way to episode 11? I was predicting it would end at 9. But it makes more sense. I predict EPISODE 3 will be 7 episodes and EPISODE 4 will be 8 episodes (it gets to be the longest).

At 9? Seriously? There's no way EP. 2 could be condensed into four episodes. That would be suicide, especially since EP. 2 is where the real fun begins.

Indeed, I sort of predicted that senselessly without recalling the key moments of Episode 2 (some of which make me cry).

[Leinne]

Today finally (I think, maybe no yet) the red appears. Even if it doesn't Happy Halloween shold make up for it

I heretho demand copious amounts of blood and candy strewn about in a fashion worthy of one of the most disgustingly creative murder scenes of recent memory

[MarthX]

Red text will certainly appear in this episode. Preview shows the episode going up to right before discovering Jessica's corpse, which is where I think it'll end.

[MeoTwister5]

The problem now is... how are we to explain to anime-viewers what the red text or equivalent thereof would mean before they tear their own hair out?

[Klashikari]

There is nothing to explain if Deen doesn't screw Beato explanations: Beato explains clearly that if there isn't any rule, it would make the game irrelevant since both can just bike each other without providing proofs and whatnot, especially when both are using the devil's proof.

[MeoTwister5]

And if DEEN does indeed screw up Beato's explanation of the Red Truth equivalent... then we're in for a bit of backlash.
