Title: The Devil is a Part Timer/Hataraku Maou-sama
Post by: hyorinryu on April 26, 2013, 12:31:08 AM
Anyone else watching this? I didn't see a topic for it.

Anyway, i find it an interesting show. Basically, the devil is gets defeated by the hero, and as a result, he now lives with his demon general in an apartment while he works at McDonalds.

If you want to see it. Funimations has videos on their website.

Seen two episodes, seems pretty amusing.  Will definitely keep watching.  The "hero" is oddly unheroic.

I looked at the manga and was disappointed this wasn't a Maoyuu Maou Yuusha spinoff. But it seemed funny enough. I'll check out the anime later.

4th episode out, it is like a Maoyusha comedy skit instead. at least for the first part. Emilia's story will be a bit more dark tho.

Ente Isla fantasy language = English with consonants replaced?

[nsfw]http://otanews.livedoor.biz/archives/51944341.html[/nsfw]

Quote from: some pervert
I said I was gonna go to sleep but I lied, sorry.

I think I've figured out about 90% of the whole Ente Isla language. Basically take all letters except AEIOU and LNQ (so BCDF etc.), reverse the order, and place them back in like so:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
           ↓
AZYXEWVTISRLPNOMQKJHUGFDCB

This will give you:

Human -> Tupan
World -> Foklx
Majesty -> Pasejhc

Or something like that. I still don't know what's going on with the letters that don't move around, so I'm not 100% sure on this.

Quote from: another pervert
Episode 1, after going through the gate:

Where am I?
Majesty, are you all right?
Mr. Alsiel...?

Fteke ap I?
Pasejhc, ake cou aqq kivth?
Pk. Alsiel...?

Looks like names don't translate, and "I" is still used in first person.

I figured as well, interesting language encryption but I am pretty sure this is one of Da Vinci's tricks. or am I wrong?


Edit:
My apologies, a true Da Vinci trollanguage would be something like  He wrote the entire language based on consonants without vowels, replaced the entire alphabet order backwards as above and wrote it backwards while writing in cryptic poems.

Someone please call Robert Langdon.

As some random guy pointed out to me yesterday, it's
just the alphabet reversed but the vowels kept in place
.
Also,
L and Q should be switched to be fully correct
.

I find this episode very entertaining, if only because we get to see OL Hero Yusha Emi, this is very easily cosplayable and I think I would get to see this and a thousand Mikasa and Sashas this year end. I should probably aim to do Alsiel, because lol Cho-Maou is too hard. That was also easily the hardest fist known to man.

Considering that heroic barbarian class fella was literally murdering Alsiel back in Ente Isla, he sure is calm facing him on Earth...

Just caught up after taking finals. I liked the next pair of episodes. I hope they don't have Emi go down the romantic route though. That would suck.

Hah. Didn't even realize the language was just that. Interesting

But the whole having a different language thing really struck me. Even if it's simple, making up a language always seemed to be a more western high-fantasy thing to me.
So it was interesting to see it used here. Wonder if the Light Novel has the same sort of thing?

That aside this show is great. Gets better with every episode I reckon.

Betting money at this point their return to Ente Isla will mark the betrayal of the Hero to join Maou in an epic turn against the church.
Suzuno will be torn to decide between what is loyalty and what is right
Alsiel will be given a choice, turn against his lord with Lucifer or risk death in an untimely situation, his prize will be lordship in place of Maou in Ente Isla
The Hero will rip up the old allies, causing her former allies to unite against her
They will then join her when they are convinced of Maou's sincerity

I think they made Chi-chan's Chi-chans bigger for this episode. To be honest, I liked them better before! ;-;

I'm pretty sure they just made them bigger for jokes, they'll return to what they were before next episode.

It's been about 3 or 4 episodes. It should resolve soon, judging by recent developments.

Ok, I am prettttty sure that when Lucifer said
  Heaven is a Six Tatami second floor apartment
  bit he was referencing to Saint Young Men. (and the hype surrounding the movie of Saint Young Men late this year ain't no joke. (banned in the Vatican b>_<d !! hell yeah.)

I love this series, it's such a nice reprieve from all of the middle/high school stuff I've been watching lately. I like that the seifuku in this series is kept to a minimum, and Chi-chan's is adorable.


Emi makes me cringe sometimes though. She is soooo mega-tsundere it hurts sometimes.

It doesn't help that the director is actually a huge Chiho fan and cut out some of Emi's dere moments.
Well, at least that's what I've read online. LN translations are not very far, so I can't confirm, but people who have read ahead said that developments between Maou and Emi were missing
like umbrella scene part 2 and the whole Maou trying to redeem himself in Emi's eyes
.

I *loved* this show and was incredibly pleased to see its first week sales (11,839). It'll probably get a second season. Suzuno was probably my favorite character...something about her...

OK, admittedly I think that last episode was very meh, could have been better. One thing about this show is there are no characters that is left untouched or underdeveloped, in a way that everyone is completely relevant to the plot, I guess if the anime was more detailed like the LNs it could be better achieved, this along with Devil Survivor I guess. Devil Survivor ended epically without all the extras, but this could have use a lot more extras and I am not talking about a few episodes of Onsen and Beach.
