^ ???
She did have a shocked expression when she heard it was "poisonous". As well as when she was eating the made potato dish. I've caught several reactions, or are we talking about the same character here?

^ hmm I think it's just a case of you're mileage may vary, even in real life. different people expresses differently, more importantly different people interpret certain actions differently. many fights , misunderstandings (and wars?) do happen because of this. Personally I think Onna Kishi conveyed well enough the importance/impact of their conversation in that scene. Others obviously disagree, it's already a matter of opinion at that point.

So, yeah. She does react, but her reactions to the potatoes' implications for the Southern kingdoms' food supplies is underwhelming. The fact she's eating something delicious seems to matter more to her than the fact she's being handed something with thrice the yield of wheat. |

I'll give Fem. Knight some credit, she can be funny when she wants to^^. I laughed when she said, AFTER ALL THAT WORK I WENT THROUGH TO BECOME MORE GIRLY!, The first step is always acceptance, and I just imagined her being a sister. Kinda like this: Now, let us all pray, OR I'LL SLICE ALL OF YA NUTSACKS OFF!, ha>v<.

dude, yeah I know there are some pacing issues (they are moving a bit fast) but your argument is REALLY nitpicky Last edited by CJ_Walker; 2013-01-20 at 13:20. |

As for the topic of Hero and what he bring to the story... Hero is also just a different sort of smart. He’s the military tactics and action side of the pair. You’ll see later that he’s rather good at working a military situation to his advantage, as well as playing both sides to do just what his side needs. He’s also charismatic and knows how to talk to stubborn general-types when they shouldn’t be bothering Maou. When fights start up, Maou switches roles to support, but things are peaceful right now so she’s center-stage and unintentionally making Hero seem blander than he is.

Yea that pretty much sums it up. Oh and one more thing the smoke left out was that in this universe the potato is actually native to the demon world. Which I found kind of funny because when the potato was first discovered way back in the dark ages it was called the devils root.

I have no prior knowledge of the plot, but maybe the author is using the monster girl trope, Maou is a demon so she is expected to ravage (human) males (virgin or otherwise), that is the reason the head maid chastises poor Maou *insert juggle scene* for having zero advancement after so many months (there are limits to patience).

I dunno, for some reason, I still don't really buy Maou's "shy, innocent virgin" thing. It's just too over the top to feel genuine, and at this stage, I wouldn't actually be surprised if she revealed that it was all an act to get the hero to do what she wanted. Anyone else feeling this?

"Crimson Scholar" and "White Swordsman"
Female Knight and Young Merchant make their appearances. The humble potato is revealed as Crimson Scholar's secret agricultural weapon. Demon Queen appearing to be jealous of what she perceives as Hero's past affairs was... cute? "Old Flame" #1 and #2, huh. And off goes Hero to the Demon World with some newly acquired bad ass armor. Good that he's found something to do with his skills in the meantime.
"Useless Meat" receives some screen time again. Thankfully, that part didn't go on for much longer. There's not enough time in 12 episodes to fit much fanservice. Better spent on world building, character development and plot advancement. Even though I am also a reader of the Kotowaru! manga version, I am not really concerned with comparisons as I am also aware that the anime is not an adaptation of the manga, but the novels - and those I haven't read. So I just enjoy both for what they are.

That is another can of worms, if Maou did betrayed Hero it might not affect DVD/BD sales. If Maou at some point says she is not a virgin (which is utterly irrelevant to the story and to be expected from a demon girl) the disc sales would be cut in half (at least). |

Just got around to watching this. Wasn't expecting much but it turns out to be not bad. However, i am not sure what maou and yuusha objective is here. Maou wants to make the humans stronger so they wouldn't fight and thus achieving peace? Wouldn't it just make them stronger so they can war better and kill more of her own people?
Anyway, do the characters actually get to have names? |
