Machikado Mazoku (The Demon Girl Next Door) got a second season!



The summary from MAL:

quote:

After a strange dream of a mysterious ancestor, high school student Yuuko Yoshida wakes to see that she has grown demonic horns and a tail. Dazed and confused, her mother reveals to her a dark family secret: her family is descended from a Dark Clan that was banished to live powerless and destitute by their mortal enemies, the magical girls of the Light Clan. The only way to lift their ancestry's curse is for Yuuko to find a magical girl, murder her, and splatter her blood all over her ancestor's Demon God statue.

Fortunately for "Shadow Mistress Yuuko," a magical girl saves her from being run over by an oncoming truck. Unfortunately, Momo Chiyoda happens to be Yuuko's classmate at Sakuragaoka High and is much stronger than her in both strength and endurance. Taking pity on her wimpy assailant, the magical girl agrees to train Yuuko and help her unlock her dormant powers. Now, Yuuko must rise up and defeat her generous frenemy to save her family from the terrible grip of poverty.

Sadly, I suspect Shamiko is correct.

Ogura does get a few chapters' worth of focus later in the manga, but probably too far ahead to adapt unless we get more seasons of the anime.

Yeah the first ep was rough, but the schedule should ease up.

Ep 1 adapted chapters 27-29, plus an omake.
Ep 2 adapted chapters 30-31, plus had an small anime original scene.

There's a natural end point to the season at chapter 52, so with a 12 episode season, from here on out they'll probably do two chapters per episode, with one episode having to adapt three. Maybe the last ep will adapt 50, 51, and 52.

This episode (ep3) was killer.

Had to pause to read all the fun internet slides, and also because I couldn't stop laughing at "THE internet WILL kill you". Subbed video omitted Tamasakura-chan as one of Momo's likes in the faux twitter, kind of a bummer that punchline got left out.

I have been waiting for literal years for the anime version of "Momo teaches you safe browsing habits!" and I was not disappointed by this at all.

In hindsight that makes a later SMS joke relating to Mikan feel a little meaner. I'm gonna laugh at it anyways.

Is "cat jamboree" some kind of reference or is it just a funny phrase/idea?

The hiragana says "nekomatsuri" or "cat festival." I assume the translators are just punching it up a bit with the jamboree thing.

Momo just really loves cats (and has bad fashion sense).

Pit Latrine specificity aside I believe "living" is a mistranslation closer to "smug/overconfident" if memory serves me.

This is the beginning of one of my favorite arcs in the manga so it's nice to see it animated.

The translators are having a decent go of adapting the puns and impossible cultural references. Like this one:

Here's how the manga fan translators did it:


Oh, we also got a Mikan transformation sequence, cool.

This show is weirdly addictive. Whenever a new episode goes live I find myself going back to catch a couple old ones.
