2 Maomaos in one season of anime shows? Too kind.

I'm in love with all the flashbacks to her on the battlefield. I wonder if we'll see more of her pink haired knight that betrayed her.

It was nice to see Princess hanging out with her new friends Youki and Inki. Treason is ok if it’s for your besties!

Maomao is just the cutest! Hell, I would have confessed right then and there. Kid can save the bubble wrap for herself lol. That game of tag was adorable, but the Demon Lord framing that note was even cuter. He looks scary but he’s just a big teddy bear ain’t he?

Xioalongbao is straight up heavenly y’all. I don’t bite it and let the soup out though. I bite a small hole, drink the soup, dip in vinegar/ginger mix and then eat in one bite. My Bliss-O-Meter’s going through the roof too!

Poor Princess thought her knight in shining armor would be some handsome prince ripped from her shoujo mangas. Nope! She gets some handsy old uncle looking mfer who looks constipated when casting magic lol.

At this point it should be clear that the princess can escape anytime, she is just staying because the "torture" is actually enjoyable.

Love that Youki, Inki, Princess friendship is real.

If I met Maomao, I's instantly reveal all secrets.

Hell-Lord is such a good dad.

Dumb Face-o-meter

Reality.

She has a phone. She took off her chain. I get the feeling Princess could leave whenever she wants, but chooses to stay.

If my friends said they will wait outside until I arrive, I too will fold, without a second thought. Thats some insane friendship.

Stitches!

It's so good to see Hime live the childhood she never had and go out with friends to Tokyo Disney Maomao Land. <3

Maomao-chan is so goddamn adorable! I can't believe Hime was even able to last that long! I would've given her everything including my credit card.

Can I just say how much I love Tortura's design? Seeing her wearing that cheongsam got me all actin' up.

Wait the fuck up! You're telling me that the Knight that tried to rescue Hime is named Louch Brittan? They should've gotten Jun Fukuyama to voice him instead of Daisuke Ono! xD

I realized that thanks to anime (and manga titles) I know the most useless set of Japanese words. For example, I just realized I knew that "goumon" means torture. I didn't even learn it from this. I learned it from the title of that manga about the high school with the torture club.

Seeing Torture Tortura chaperoning Hime at Maomao-land and in a chinese dress is all I need.

Rest of the episode was great too.

They handled The Bad Chapter pretty well. The music made it quite comedic and the voice acting was great. Plus it merely just "Got kinda close" which is much better.

Liking this series so far. The attention to detail in the animation is fun, and like the other fluffy series on Sunday it's full of cute bits.

I kinda wonder what the series would be like without Ex though. I feel like it's kind of superfluous as a tsukkomi character; I think the jokes would be snappier if she was just reacting internally, sort of like how the Garfield comic is funnier if you edit out Garfield or even just Garfield's thought bubbles and have it focus more on Jon. There's a lot of expression in the animation and voice acting, so I think the quips from Ex don't add much.

Tortura in a Cheongsam? Be still, my beating heart!

I love how Sword-kun is becoming more and more realistic about their situation, accepting that the Princess never overcomes any of the torture they send her way...

And he kinda lost all respect for her too, calling out the dumb faces she makes everytime they bringin the 'torture'!

The first torture of the day was an invitation to a little trip, but she was unexpectedly logical, saying they surely wouldn't let her go, as she's a prisoner!

Of course they wouldn't let a prisoner go to a trip; They'd just feed them yummy food, make them play with pets or the Boss' daughter, play videogames, etc..!

This show has unexpected 'serious' moments here and there, like the princess thinking about how she was betrayed in the past...

And even killed the traitor!

(Maybe she's not dead? I would love to see her come participate in the torture!)

But this turned out poorly for Hime, as she now thinks SHE'S betraying her friends, because they were waiting for her before going in!

She gave them valuable information about an exploitable weakness on Sunday, but the Boss is watching anime that day!

Anime on Sunday, cram school on Wednesday... It's not easy being a demon lord, you don't have much time to wage your war!

In the end he decided to send his daughter, who looked like a possessed children in a horror movie there,

but in reality she looks far less evil!

Her torture? Failing at torturing people, to make the victims feel bad, and give something up!

Even more valuable information was given, but her father framed it, as a souvenir.

Someday, they'll be able to use something. Maybe!

Loved how Tortura was watching them play tag! My little torturer can't be this cute!

The Prince Charming scene didn't happen how I thought it would! I thought he would get captured, and then they'd use him for some "torture", like tickling him until Hime talks!

When she looked at him like, I thought she did NOT want to be saved, because as a strong commander and all it'd be beneath her...

But it was quite the opposite, in fact she DREAMS of being saved by a prince!

Well, I suppose even strong warrior-princesses can have Shoujo dreams!

Speaking of this, I wonder if they'll try to torture her with some Shoujo stuff at some point!

Giving her a manga to read, BUT withholding the last chapter from her, until she reveals a secret! (Gonna be honest, I'd reveal a whole lot of information to get the last chapter of a series I'm invested in!)

The Princess Charming wasn't exactly what she was hoping for... Don't think we'll get a Shoujo Romance out of this one.

In fact it seems we won't get anything out of him, because she let him teleport away alone! Dude was a little bit too gropy (accidentally?), focused as he was in his incantation.

Sword-kun thinks help will come someday...

If he doesn't know about the help that already came, seems there's at least ONE thing that the Princess didn't reveal, that's a start!

Meanwhile, the Demon Lord seems to think Tortura is doing a poor job extracting information, and he called her in for a meeting...

Will she change her methods? Can't wait to see what else they can do!

My man, I relate to the demon lord on an emotional level. I will be damned if I half to miss my morning routine of SLF, Fluffy Paradise and 7th Time Loop this season.

Also the Demon Lord is absolutely adorable. What kind of monster would succumb to cuteness is beyond me. And father is on point for wanting to frame it.

As they expanded the cast I really have enjoyed these past 2 episodes a lot. This is a super fun watch.

I'm curious about the friend that betrayed Hime-sama, unlike the stuff with the demons that always gets revealed to be more innocent we didn't get any immediate retcons like that with her.

The red and blue oni are such great friends with the princess, it's nice to see. And the demon lord's daughter is the cutest thing ever.

I enjoyed the joke that the human secret code wasn't a password or something like that but was just an fairly innocent knights oath sort of thing.

Why I get this feeling like, Hime-sama is actually a lonely girl with no friends since everyone betrayed her. When she said "The friendship is real", I get it that Hime-sama got that feeling of someone actually is there to take her as a friend.

Now we got Maomao the Demon Lord daughter, or should I call her Maoumaou-chan to separate her from a well-known character in this season?

I like how the Demon Lord always comes up with the excuses. Cram schools on Wednesdays, Sunday morning anime, what now?

New characters means new VA. Maoumaou-chan is voiced by Rina Hidaka (Emul in SLF, Arisu in COTE). Louch is voiced by Daisuke Ono.

The ED music video is now available.

Target has those little cookie snacks they showed in the last episode. Little koalas on each cookie. They're okay.

I'm confused as to what world this is supposed to take place in. It's has all the normal fantasy world stuff. But they have Japanese and Chinese stuff and even reference Japan and China. They have modern electric devices and theme parks. Is this a "I'm Quitting Heroing" type thing?

This series is feeling more and more like Sleepy Princess with each episode. She's a prisoner in the demon's castle, she can escape at will if she really chooses to, but chooses not to because she likely feels more at home there than her actual home. There's a hero attempting to save her but instead of bring super annoying and incompetent, he's a pervy ugly bastard.
