Maou 2099 is kind of a wasted opportunity. The main point of interest is the world, however they put the MC in a job where he just stays inside all day. The maou of course just wants "world peace", which is boring. The conversations tend to overexplain stuff, the series would have been better served by just cutting some of them short and putting more establishing shots with literally nothing happening. Just… the writing isn't very good overall. Oh well. Not completely sure if I will continue watching it.

>>37178I'm tired of maou wanting world peace and shit like that. At least give me a demon lord who's morally gray!

I have to assume Aki is at least a bit suspicious that the one guy whom she has to sacrifice is coincidentally also the one everybody wants.

It strikes me that I haven't shilled Mahoutsukai ni Narenakatta nearly half as hard as it deserves.
I already liked it at ep. 1, but ep. 2 really sealed the deal for me with this quote of Harold Abelson from the SICP lectures. If the teacher had gone off to write NOTEBOOK SCIENCE on the blackboard and then cross off each word, I'd've found it perfectly natural.
And yes, she does say this in Japanese, and no, it's not a coincidence because the Japanese word 幾何学 does not in fact contain any reference to earth or land. And it fits the show's theme, in which mainstream magic education only teaches students how to use an advanced piece of technology without understanding it, whereas an outlier wizard teaches her pupils how to understand and master magic from its very foundations.
A not-so-subtle message about technology in current society, peeking from behind a cast of endearingly cliched characters and a plot out of a weekend morning cartoon, all wrapped in pastel visuals that have no business being this prominent or this pretty. Stop acting like a blonde tsundere ojousama and embrace the magic, Anon.

Slaughtering satanists? Yes.
Shoving desserts into cute girls' mouths? Yes.
Cheesy lines? Yes.
Happy endings? Yes!
I could watch this anime forever.

>>37088>>37090Seems like I was more correct than I was given myself credit for. Though I haven't been watching it, I took a peak at episode 60. They are already at chapter 48 from 111. Though it won't be easy, I bet they will ignore as many side plots and main plots as possible and get to the ending somehow.
No.37214
>>37213None of the main plot is ignored for now. Everything in Best Mom's school however is completely dropped, but as far as I am in the manga, I find that the correct decision.

>>37214I would imagine coworker and boyfriend are even more minor characters. Though boyfriend should start showing up a bit more, I would assume. Any of slower build is gone, probably.
No.37217
>>37216Coworker and boyfriend are there, but do not get much focus, just the more major plot points. And yeah, of course the slower buildup is gone. But really, the only aspect that has been completely axed is the elementary school stuff. I am generally happy with the choices made, really, the adaptation gets the core appeal of the source material. I would have been happier with, let's say, twice the length, but nevertheless script flows really well.
Then again, I should finish reading the manga anyway. I don't even know if the elementary school stuff ever plays any major role; when I was reading it as an ongoing series I was already feeling like cutting that part wouldn't be much of a loss.

This is off-topic, but nothing makes me feel my age than the ever growing prevalence of seiyuu older than I.

Only downside is the guy doesn't want to fuck his sister, but it's excusable when you have this much cuteness in front of you.
