Besides, hinting at a continuing story encourages people to buy the print version, so they still win something even if there's no S2. |

I'm quite disappointed by how the series was handled, but I would never look at a particular thing as a plot device.

Having read the Kotowaru! manga beforehand, it's hard to say, "From and anime-only point of view, this is terrible." But I strongly believe that even without prior knowledge of this series my opinion wouldn't change. That being said, having read the manga it makes it even worse. Stick to the manga/LN, since I can't believe how badly they butchered this.
In the last episode alone all the jumping around was completely jarring, and knowing the source material, unbearably incomplete on all accounts. Which is probably the overarching complaint for the entire series. They chose to include everything, at the cost of developing none of it.

I feel the anime is rushed in the last episode. However, it is not as bad as some people's feedback. Love Female Knight's "I gave it to him" confession. The most noticeable rushed part is all villains gather togetherand announce their intention. Other part has the quite acceptable pace. Think about the good part. The source material is not like War and Peace. It's not going on and on. If this anime drags on like Nar*to and Bl*ach, most people would bad mouth it and denounce the show. They may still keep on watching it, but the show is ruined. It's no longer interesting. This series is interesting from beginning to end. Every week, it brings out the anticipation. So, it's still a good show.

Wait, you feel that Yuusha's teleportation is a plot device when his powerful spells are not?

No, to either of them. The only reason his teleportation can be argued as a plot device is because it facilitates his and Maou's travels, letting them get things done in multiple locations quickly while no other character in universe can. However, it's used often enough that it's more a feature than a device. And given that Yuusha is basically a lvl 99 character, that's even more acceptable.

They rushed quite a bit, lot's of the events especially in the last few episodes should have been fleshed out alot more and if they put some of the mages journey,hero looking for her and some of the 4 heroes back story this could easily been a 2 cours or more anime and looking at the sales for this series so far I think it would have done decently.
Saying that I had zero problems following the plot and enjoyed the anime alot, just glad they didn't go down the flashly manga route and went with the Light novel style. |

Someone should do a marathon and watch ep1 ~ 12 and write down all the time skips
(assumed, since some timeskip they did not mention - such as how long it took them to build the Church or spread scholar's ideas to the entire kingdom without any sort of long range communication device but by word only) But I could have sworn I saw they mention at least 1 year for crop, 2 year for hero's quest... so that's already 3 years minimum. |

ep 2 containes a timeskip of a few months or so for Moau to start her school and ends right before the village agrees to her plans for crop rotation. ep 3 starts 3 months, nine days later directly stated by Maou, no more then a day or 2 passes durring the ep, at the end hero leaves on his quest. (Maou states she and hero have been liveing togeather for 6 months at this point) ep 5 about 1 year after ep 3, maou states she hasn't touched Hero in a year last time they met was when he left in ep 3. the mid winter celebration. ep 6 under a month from ep 5, Hero give Maou this as the time limit to free gate city in ep 5. end of first book. ep 7 starts after an unknown timeskip but it is the end of summer, not likely to have been over a year. so 6 months? ep 12 first snows of winter of the same year. Even 3 years is pushing it. It is likely 2 and a half years give or take 3 months.

so
few month = assumed 2~4 month 3 month 1 year = 12 month 1 month 6 month (summer) 6 month (winter) that's estimated 30 month ~ 32 month (or 2.5 year) Well, I'll find time and rewatch the series later, cause it feels like the time skip is longer. Maybe it's an effect of almost a 1+ month time skip in every single episode... (which is what we're not used to, since most series only have like 1 month time skip in one episode only in the entire series) |

yes, she says two year.
But however, we found out it's actually longer (see the assumed time skip, 2 year AND 6+ month)... The 6+ month already broke her speech's assumed time. So... who knows, the total time might actually be longer as right now it's only assumed, but not "exact confirmed" (being it only "looks" like what time it's skipping) Not sure, kinda forgot, but I think Yuusha was still with Maou when they completed the 4 step crop (which takes 1 year MINIMUM). (this was before Hero left for 1+ year) |

assumed 2~4 months 3 months, 9 days (this time passage is confirmed) (Maou states she and Hero have lived together for 6 months at this point) ~1 year = ~12 months (may not be exact could be more or less) ~1 month (this is technically the most amount of time this could be) 6 months (late winter to late summer) (rough estimate only) 3 months (end of summer to start of winter(might even be less depending on climate of Winter Nation) so it might be closer to 2.25 years

End of summer to first snows/start of winter so only the months of fall pass that is about 3 months. All the time info but the timeskip in ep 2 was confrimed by statements in the anime. ep 3 is stated to be 6 months from the start of the series. Ep 5 is stated to be 1 year after Hero left durring the midwinter celeberation. Ep 6 is under a month from ep 5. Ep 7 starts at the end of summer and ep 12 happens durring the first snows / start of winter
