(L) Hataraku Maou-sama!

[DragoonKain3]

Having read the first few chapters of the manga, yeah it was pretty quick. I think first chapter immediately had him working at mickie d's IIRC.

Dunno about the LN though.

I don't know about the source material. I think the novel has long conversation and description. Anime would skip a lot of parts. In the later story, they will revisit their story before they are maou and yuusha. Their world will somehow connect to Tokyo. So, the story will remain as light heart parody. Unlike certain other shows(F**it B**ket), the story gets darker and darker as it goes on and on.

During Emi's backstory did anyone think the background music sounded a bit like the beginning of Yes's "Roundabout" only a little slower, maybe it's just Jojo withdrawl

I hope in the next ep they gonna give us real battle and more serious business.

Chi-chan got mindcontrolled by Lucifer --> Maou enraged, returns into his initial form --> the two clash with thunderous roar --> EPIC

Spoiler for Episode 5:

just finished episode 05. Maou-sama is hax. I'm not sure on how strong Emi when she has her full power but Maou is indeed strong and him being the Maou seems plausible. Being able to stop the falling bridge, put a barrier, repair all the damage and that attack done on Lucifer backstabbing bald priest is the one who helped Lucifer when he should be dead by Emi.

Emi looks cute and sexy in partial armor in office dress

The comrades of Emi has also arrive but the scene they ended up seeing feels unbelievable, specially when they see Maou's apartment.

Next episode shows Emi-centric and Lucifer as a neet? in front of PC.

best episode yet

Spoiler for ep 5:

Spoiler:

Because the staff behind this show are awesome at mixing action with comedy.

Spoiler for ep 5:

Awww, Alciel got shafted. I was looking forward to see him kick ass and tag-team with Emi. (And I wanted to see his tail more. )

That said, the best part of the episode was him and Maou screaming like little girls. XDD;;; By the way, hey, Emi, what kind of hero barges into another person's flat like that?

Also, favorite exchange:
Maou: *gets huge, gaping hole in chest, collapses*
Emi: HANG IN THERE!

Sure, okay... XD;;;

And what was that... was it.... an OP??! I wonder what took so long... And I wonder what's going on with Satan's feet, first he's wearing shoes then he has hooves... *facepalm* Also, I'm not happy with the angsty Chiho scenes. And how can you run like that in armor, Emiiiii.... BUT Ashiya is awesome in what little he appears. You know a truly loyal lieutenant when you see him drying his lord's pantsu with pride!

the OP

[Dann of Thursday]

Spoiler for Ep 5:

I was actually thinking today that it may have been alliance between Lucifer and one of Emi's allies with the old man being the most likely. I love it when predictions come true.

[Kyouka]

=D

[ChampDream]

this show is awesome!
Maou saying to lucifer "what're you gonna do if I miss out on Employee of the Month because of this?" is pure win
the opening is really good too

[frubam]

HOLY ****!!!! THAT WAS AMAZING!!!! This ep delivered everything that's great about this series; the comedic moments interspersed throughout the battle was hilarious, and the action scenes were enjoyable to watch as well =03. Honestly, I'd been contempt without any action in this series, despite how good the action was at the beginning of the 1st ep, but man, did they deliver some greatness in this ep =03. 11/10!

The old man being in cahoots with Lucifer was a nice twist. Hell, him shooting Maou with a gun was quite unexpected. Maou getting a hole blasted through his chest shocked the hell outta me D0=. Emilia's bones crunching as she was catching Chiho was cringing =0(. Maou was so cool and manly when he said he had to wrap this up so he could teach Chiho how to use the ice cream(?) machine. He was totally badass when he teleported right into Lucifer's face with the anger of the devil on his face as Lucifer shook in fear X03. Don't make him miss being EotM . Emeralda is much cuter than I thought when she's not trying to kill you(like the 1st ep) . Once again, Maou proves his manliness by reversing all the damage Lucifer did because Lucifer was his subordinate(though even if that weren't the case, he'd prob do it anyway). I guess Emeralda and Albert were off about the Sonar target; Chiho was/is thinking about Maou much more than Emilia was/is; so cute X03. Guess she was too busy trying to assimilate into society.

I'd be satisfied if the show ended right here, even if there was more story to tell. It's the first time I've been THIS thoroughly entertained by an episode this season. Fortunately it isn't over, and I'll be eagerly awaiting the next ep. Besides, I'm still wondering who Miki-T really is; Emi's mom? Former demon lord? =03(please don't give me any hints or tell me I'm wrong/right).

Omg, Chiho's expressions drive me crazy. So cuuuuuuuuute. Love this series and all my friends seem to think it is amazing as well. It's hilarious with enough plot to give this series some direction. I'll probably read the novels after the anime is over, mainly to see what will happen to Chiho. If there is any justice left in the world, please make it so Chiho ends up with Maou-sama.

Sorry, but Maou should end up with Emi. Dark Lord corrupting Holy Angel Hero and impregnate her is the best end.

Ep 5

OMFG what an episode! Even among epic clash between Maou and Lucifer, the comedy also followed suit! Badass battle + Hilarious comedy = EPIC! What made me laugh so hard until crying was when Maou got his chest blasted and, when i thought he was going to bid farewell to Chi-chan, it turned out he intended to teach Chi-chan how to use ice cream machine after all this shit end

Definitely comedy of the season
