My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Episode 3

Hiki is hilarious and says so many great things, even making the best of his own shortcomings and such and turning it into many memorable moments. Solid and funny episode at times.

 

[Jarmel]

So seriously, are the light novels for Maou-sama! that good or has White Fox just been knocking it out the park?

Late to the Pokémon discussion but I also wonder how many people knew about this? Haha.

What happened that made you put this question forward? I love it and all (the TV series that is) but its nothing mind-blowing about it...

Oh we knew! Poor Hito, he can't get accounts anywhere now because his name is taken.

Spoiler

His name had nothing to do with Pokemon

It's such an exceptionally well done show. The toneshifts(mainly that of the comedic timing), emphasis on environmental damage, and the way the characters are portrayed has been pretty stellar so far. It feels very natural to a degree.

I always assumed that was the origin of Hito's name until I was informed otherwise. It's actually "hito kage" (shadow person?) and not "hi tokage" (fire lizard).

The 3 Episode so far? I agree with you, its well told story with clever antics here and there, but it doesn't change the fact that it still falls with in the stereotypes of Animes and that sort of hinders it of becoming a great one. Don't get me wrong, I love it, and I think the characters are quite fun and as you said, they do use the environment to have an impact on the characterisation, but it does have its flaws IMO.

There's a few scenes in episode 4 which I think are brilliant in the way they're handled. It works really really well for the type of show it is.

I've heard the LNs are not that great.

 

[Regulus Tera]

I'm sorry. This is the internet. We live in a binary world. Do you think its the greatest thing ever or the next coming of Hitler?

Goddammit, Godwin!

Ooh, nice. I am excited now. Thanks!

 

[jgminto]

No one here is posting impressions. All of you are waiting for the new thread. So vain!

 

[Nafe]

Also, I haven't listened to the whole song but the opening ten seconds for the Japanese opening to Pokemon, Master Quest I think it is, sounds a lot like the theme for

Dante/Raidou

in Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne.

I posted Maou-sama impressions a few pages ago, but they got lost in a forest of Yuno gifs.

There won't be a gif spam anymore because duckroll is gonna lock the thread prematurely.

I haven't watched any anime tonight, so I have no impressions to post. Stupid NFL draft taking up my time. Clearly I am making good use of my time tonight.

...Actually, reading fan reactions is kinda funnier than any anime I could be watching right now. American football really is serious business, apparently...

I haven't read this thread since its a bit too fast to actually read everything.

 

[jgminto]

Now is the perfect time for gifs! No one wants to post anything interesting!

Conan girl rankings?

Well, the only correct answer is:

Vermouth>Shiho/Haibara>Sera>Sonoko>Jodie>Chianti>Kazuha>Naeko>Yukiko>Satou>Yumi>Rena>Kobayashi>Ran>Eri

I am content with your Sonoko placement.

Man, shit is about to get down. Not much comedy but the backstory made up for it.

Hataraku Maou 4

This is turning into Superior, but the relationship between Maou and Emilia is still a lot easier to swallow than the one in Superior. I was getting worried that Maou

Spoiler

directly killed her dad

, but thankfully that wasn't the case, making the quest for revenge a bit easier to give up down the line, especially when

Spoiler

we got a real villain now.

 

[zeroshiki]

Quick lets all make fun of firehawk12 since he apparently doesn't read the thread anyway.

....

Fair point. I am reading those Maou Sama impressions. I want to experience it first hand.

Maou: &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry. I don&#8217;t remember any of it.&#8221;

Emi: &#8220;You don&#8217;t remember?&#8221;

Maou: &#8220;For you, the day Dark Lord Satan graced your village was the most important day of your life. For me, it was Tuesday.&#8221;
