I wasn't too excited about White Fox before and I wasn't really looking forward to the series, but I just read the first three chapters of the manga and it's actually pretty funny! I definitely give it a try once it comes out. Hopefully it can keep a consistent level of comedy.

Blah blah blah fantasy light novel blah--- wait, Oosaka Ryouta?? Sign me up! :heh:

(OK, the PV looks nice, too.)

The Maou's face is great :heh:. I hope it's not indicative of the series.

This got confirmed to air in the Spring season.

What I liked the most about the PV was the characters designs/expressions and the music, oddly enough. Seems like it could be pretty funny, so I'll give this series a shot.

Wait, don't tell me this is a harem/"girls fighting over a guy" type story as well?

/is a bit slow on the uptake

Don't judge such pics like that, fujoshi. As I said on Gargantia thread, just because they show some females on a guy doesn't always make it harem. Heck, I'm even currently watching GJ-bu this season and I don't call it harem due to the lack of romance despite having a lot of females, just some friendship. When I first see some images from Maou-sama!, I'm not really thinking of it as harem but rather a straightforward comedy.

What's with the "fujoshi," hmm? :rolleyes:

I'll check out the show because the setting sounds fun and it has Oosaka Ryouta, but that picture above seems like the usual "osananajimi/girl next door + tsundere girl + hapless guy" setup and if the show wants to go in that direction I'd rather know about it beforehand. To, you know, adjust my expectations.

Will this be like, the opposite of Kyo Kara Maoh? I mean, instead of "ordinary guy falls into another world and becomes the demon king", it's "the demon king enters our world, and has to become an ordinary guy".

OP and ED confirmed.

The OP will be Minami Kuribayashi. The ED will be nano.RIPE.

Actually, doesn't seem like it. From the four chapters of the manga (Praise my vast knowledge :heh:) it seems like the Hero actually considers him a danger. Though my assumption is that

So the Hero will at least end up as his eventual ally. Or they kill each other (just to screw with the audience).

Is it just me or are the backgrounds surprisingly detailed? The character art still looks funny though :heh:.

Honestly, the production values look better than I thought they'd be (I had really low expectations). Anticipation rising!

Ohsaka's voice in the first 20secs!! His voice!! He needs to get more chances to explore his range like that. X3

PV doesn't look too bad. The backgrounds are really detailed, the characters are fun to look, awesome aesthetics compelled by great visuals. I thought it would have some action at first, but after watching every PV from this series, it seems the main character wouldn't just work for the part-time job, it seems he's really looking behind the past and his encounter with the crimson-haired swordgirl prove to be a fated one. Will most likely watch the first episode to see good things about it.

I wonder if this will have consistent quality animation and art. Maybe if it's 12 episodes, they can do it. I was expecting White Fox to bring out something that looks this good either.

I got these intense Toradora vibes from the animation style... I wonder why?

Yeah, it almost looks like Maou's living in the same building as Ryuuji.
