What was with Female Magician getting cut off while saying where the Demon Queen was? Very disconcerting. However, the plot was good enough to make me like this episode a lot.
It seems that we're reaching the climax... Next episode is the final one, right?

sounds like a range or signal issue it did sound like she was breaking up before she was cut off.

They missed or rushed alot this episode, which is a shame the pacing could have been alot better if they hadn't wasted that episode on the recap.
They missed out the most important part of the Female Magicians conversation with the hero where she basically tells him who she is, and yes by the time the hero was in the Demon realm they where losing contact with each other. The Student generals fight was rushed as well, didn't really show how out numbered he was and how he planned to deal with that. I fear for the pacing of the last episode as well they have the Female knight,hero vs Maoyuu fights and ending to deal with in 24 minutes. |

I think the difference is more "Bad early eps make it so Otaku don't feel a desire to spend 400 dollars on a series." Don't forget how much a 6 vol set of a 1 cours show costs.
Also, with how much they animated, I'd take a good guess they were contracted to cover the first two volumes in 1 cour. I can't see a production staff looking at the size of the content and thinking that's the best plan. Which means this really was just to pump up the book sales. |

Just watched the last episode and happy with it (Maoyuu vs Hero could have been better) they didn't go with a orignal ending as I feared and basically set up a 2nd season.
Over all despite a few pacing issues near the end and the wasted episode this was by far my favorite and near enough the only anime this season that I've watched all the way though. So a solid 9/10 from me better than most of the trash from this season . Last edited by Newhope; 2013-03-29 at 15:34. |

Lots of fighting, lots of events concluded.
Ended kind of in the middle of nowhere, but rather than a "life goes on" conclusion, its more of just a pre-cursor. Wouldn't be surprised to see a few more seasons down the road. Favorite character was female knight.

So we finally got to see Maou vs Yuusha something like a fight.
Didn't expect to see this at all judging by the way things were going. I wasn't surprised how fast he got her to her senses.. In this anime humans were pretty much the only bad guys. Humans were so difficult to deal with... so stubborn. All in all this was a good anime which could've been better.

I was HOPING they would at least get Hero vs DQ fight right, but they failed even that =0(. There was ZERO tension in that whole scene; no former demon lord shadows, no attack magic, no swordplay, just a teleport and a hug =02. Strangely, the fight between the 1-eyed merc and Soldier(DQ's former student) was better than the Hero/DQ one, though that's not saying much since it wasn't that good either. I have NO idea how Soldier managed to grab the merc's sword, when it fell before them, not to mention having to fight the merc on the way down AND being injured. I'm going to completely ignore the fact that only a small amount of the sword is in the wall perpendicularly, yet managed to stop a heavy guy falling without being pulled out. I guess grabbing the rope would be too realistic (>.>)...
This show has failed in delivering a cohesive watching experience; the way they ignored the minor details for the entire cast really killed this show. Those minor details fleshed out the cast so nicely, despite being relatively unimportant to the storyline. They tried to do too much in too little time; they should have either made it into a 2-cour series, or a 1-cour series that stopped after Aurora Island was recaptured. The only things that truly shined in this series was HeroxDQxFK moments, or any combination of two of those chars. I loved Sawashiro's voice for FK to bits; she really did a wonderful job there =03. Other than that, this series is rather forgettable(well, the anime anyways. The manga is excellent =03)

Last Verse. I'm Back my Hero. You Sleep too Much, My Demon King.
So, this is the end for Maou and Yuusha.
It was rather quick how Yuusha called Maou back to her senses, and while addressing her people of the Demon Realm she wouldn't command any respect unless she does something cool and flashier like her Black Knight obliterating a whole mountain before the audience, for example. Now, the war has ended for now. The dual economy system is now introduced, but Heavens know if it can sustain itself. Gate City is accomplished to become a central hub for human-Demon social, political, and cultural gatherings, exchanges, and interactions. The Merchants Guild will find a way to trade with the Demons in order to open new trade routes and markets, and thus strengthening ties between both races. Then, the print will allow for a rapid publishing and distribution of books, pamphlets, and printed papers in an eventual, worldwide scale. But, there's still an underhanded issues to solve: the other Demon tribes conspiring with the Central Alliances and the Church. And, just when I start to ponder when will the show be introducing firearms, powder, and their mass distribution, one of Church's protegés introduce them to their fellow conspirators. Thus, the course of the war will be taken to a whole new level, and one in which that Council of Shadows expect to tilt the tide of the upcoming wars to their favors. Hmmph.... What to think about Maoyuu Maou Yuusha? It was a nice ride, but I feel they dragged too much from the earlier episode to preach and document how would the ideas and reforms brought by Maou were to benefit the medieval society at the long run. I really enjoyed it, but I felt it needed much more action and romance and historical fantasy elements like the battles. Gosh, I really miss those jokes about Maou's shameful flesh. And, her constant bickering with Knight. Ok, what's gone is gone, and going by the number of sales for the first volume, kindly informed to us by our friend Ushio the Omega, I cannot get high hopes for a second season unless the producer change their minds. Well, a fun but long-winded ride; it's now over, and since this has been the last anime finished for this 2013 winter season, then I'm done with the current season and have to wait three more days for the start of the Spring Season. |
