Final episode’s out! So I guess I can do a wrap-up now. I actually marathon’d episode 1-12 just this Tuesday. Sooo that’s why there weren’t any episodics. (There wouldn’t have been any even if I did watch them weekly – *cough* Oreimo *cough* – because I’m so lazy.) A short episode synopsis: We start off [...]

Comedy is a staple of the slice of life genre of Anime. What happens then, if you add a touch of the magical and supernatural into the mix? Hataraku Maou-sama is definitely the answer to that extremely unlikely question. The series can be summed up by its name, Demon Lord, Work! The story follows Maou Sadao, a Demon Lord from the world of Enta Esla that gets defeated by said world’s sacred Hero and is forced to flee dimensions. Here on earth, Maou, alongside his faithful general Ashiya, works to live in modern day Japan, as a Mg Ronalds Fast Food worker. If the premise sounds a bit whacked to you, then it really is. Its also absolutely brilliant. Think about it, a Demon Overlord working at your local Mc Donalds… That is a pretty unique and interesting idea in and of itself.

I was hoping that the final episode would be the ultimate showdown between Maou and Daniel Webster, but it’ll do. This was a great finale. They completely ditch the more serious plot and go all out on the jokes. Wish … Continue reading →

Hataraku Maou Sama 13 – Final impressions! Well, it is the end, for now! Great episode. It had the magic of the first half of the series. Second half was so and so, but overall, a great series to watch. Grade: B+Hataraku Maou Sama 13 – Final impressions! « Cartoon Leap Anime Blogwww.cartoonleap.comIt is the end…or not?! Most likely not. Episode begins with Chiho and Emilia having nightmares. Chiho was a little bit more pleasing. Suzuno appears in MgRronalds. Sariel a.k.a. James also appears after being thrown into the gate by Maou. He seems to be in love with the manager. Bad thing. Emilia´s…

Sariel's evil plans have been defeated, and although his removal from the world haven't quite got to plan (leaving him to make a detour into the McRonald's refrigerator) there seem to be other concerns playing on Chiho and Emi's minds. With the former worried that her beloved Maou is going to up sticks and leave for Ente Isla and the latter still sure that Maou's evil intentions will resurface

Just like the first fight, that was over pretty quick. Once again, Maou just trashes through everyone in an instant. Oh and Suzuno defects…no one saw that coming. Sariel brought up an interesting point in all of his crazy rantings and pathetic whimpering…Chiho probably has become some sort of special case. There’s gotta be something [...]

This episode of Hataraku Maou-sama! is shocking, action-filled, and still elicits some laughs despite the serious nature of the events unfolding. (I apologize for the late post about this episode; I was out of town at a wedding without access to the internet. Better late than never, right?) We finally learn the identity of the … Continue reading »The post Hataraku Maou-sama! (The Devil is a Part-timer!) – 12 appeared first on Anime Aura.

The subplot that started a few episodes finally surfaces and who else is more suspicious that our very own Team Rocket James Rival store owner. With Episode 11 having very few content for me to actually cover, I decided to bundle 12 with it since 13 will be the last episode. The fighting isn’t as good […]

So beautiful it hurts. That sure was a flashy episode! Between awesome battles and shifting alliances, there wasn’t a single dull moment. And I do appreciate the little bits of comedy that the show managed to sprinkle in. It could be argued that it detracts from the battle, but I personally thought it very fitting [...]

Categories: Anime, Hataraku Maou-sama!, Spring 2013Tags: Hataraku Maou-sama!With a foundation built primarily on comedy, Maou-sama’s hot-blooded “finale” falters with its drama and story elements, all while providing the occasional laugh.

Pretty good finale. Well it’s technically not over yet but I assume next week will just be more goofing off. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Lucifer totally stole the show: Amen. So the more serious parts to the … Continue reading →
