Title: Maoyuu Maou Yuusha aka Spice & Wolf 2.0 : POTATO AND FEMKNIGHT FILLED EP 2
Post by: Bio on January 06, 2013, 06:43:58 AM
Spice & Wolf 2.0.
Yeah, we're going to learn more about economics.

Copypasta synopsis:
After a long and treacherous journey, our Hero finally arrives at the Dark Lady's castle only to find himself being asked for help. The Hero explains how the war that the demons have brought upon the humans have killed thousands and put more in misery. The queen of demons however argues that this war has made the human society band together as one and showed empirical evidence how it has increased population, increased production, boosted economy and improved society overall. Furthermore, she explains to the Hero that ending this war will result in a civil war that will produce more bloodshed than there ever was. The Hero, convinced that the only way to bring peace, relatively speaking, is to join forces with the Dark Lady, agrees to help with her plans!

But you can't really tell all that much from the first episode though.

the perfect blend of physics and biology.

I don't really know what else to say about it really.

love those gifs.
The show is legitimately pretty good though. I've been following the manga for a while now.

CHAORE.
REVEAL YOUR USELESS MEAT.

I didn't like the seyuu choices, most because of the Yuusha and being remembered of Spice and Wolf the entire episode (DO THE 3RD SEASON ALREADY). Fukuyama Jun's voice just seem to not fit into the character, in my opinion. Aside from that, it was pretty interesting and I am looking forward for this show.

Yeah, as someone who really loved the manga's art the character designs for the anime still kind of bug me. However I love the story enough to give this a watch.

I've been following this series in its various incarnations for a long time, and I was very impressed with the first episode.

The designs are very faithful to the light novel and not the Ishida Akira manga (which is strangely the 'official' manga adaptation of the LN). You'll notice this especially with
Grand Fire Dragon Princess
in the OP; that's very much the LN design.
otherwise the VAs are pretty much what I had in mind. Same studio as Spice&Wolf after all.

HI AMRA SORRY I WAS AT A CON

This is literally the only manga in a while that has really gotten me interested, so I'm pretty hyped it's getting an anime. It'll be like re-reading except with more waiting!

Useless meat has gone from main character to minor supporting role. I'm glad.

Also, litte-sis-maid is seriously adorable.

I find I don't exactly understand the underlying politics behind the war.

The war makes the nobles party more because... why? I get that the rich countries fund the poor countries, but don't get how that makes them richer.

The war creates a demand, which is fulfilled by the merchants, who are generally linked to the nobles. The nobles are probably funding the merchants. `

As in, a demand to supplies for the southern countries? So the money is basically just going in a loop, right?
