Random Maou thoughts

[midori]

Maou, oh Maou. ♥ It was a great start to my fourth of July before I head to a barbeque where I can only stare and smell. T____T At least the fireworks will be pretty..

My favorite part during the opening is when Toma's running (well he's always running, lol) and slams into the wall of tarot cards. I just love the symbolism of everything.

I started smiling when Nino started appearing of the shadows. XDD And dangit, it still hurts when I smile. The pain Ohmiya puts me through!

I can't help but laugh whenever I see this guy because of his appearances in Gokusen. XDD And the fact that his face takes up most of the screen. *squeezes his cheeks*

Who will be the next victim? [insert awesome suspenseful Maou background music] And here goes another week of Truth on loop for me!

OMG, I loved that part too! ♥ :D

Call me overly optimistic, but I honestly think this series is going to be AWESOME! I've seen the original Korean version, so I already have an idea as to the sequence of events, however, I noticed a few changes in the Japanese version that seemed to work better. I'm also looking forward to see what direction they take in future episodes, because the original got very draggy towards the middle, and focused on a few things that I thought were pretty irrelevant.

Anyway, I've read some comments regarding Ohno's acting that express a more negative opinion. Personally, I thought he was brilliant & extremely fitting for the character. I can see the influence of the original in his portrayal, but he adds something darker & more sinister to the role that really defines evil. Joo Ji Hoon's version was wicked & calculating, but I felt like there was something lacking. At times he seemed more like an evil robot or scarecrow - there just wasn't the right amount of depth to the character. I wasn't getting the "Maou" vibe the way I do watching Riida.

Some people were mentioning Riida's "lack of emotion". Okay, first of all, that aspect is key to his character's personality & state of mind - heartless, cold, & devoid of emotion. Second, knowing his RL personality, only makes his ability to portray such a trait (without coming off as robotic) all the more outstanding in my book! You can't deny it - the guy is really, really EVIL. I mean, just look at that sexy lustful menacing stare of his!! *dies*

ZOMG, THE NINO SCENE! The way Riida slowly turns his head and glares down at him! Kyaaa~ I seriously got goosebumps from those few seconds - it was like he was possessed or something! o___o


...on second thought, it was probably tingles of fangirlish glee. ROFLLL~ ♥

I was fifty minutes into the show when I suddenly went 'EH WHERE'S MY NINO'. His scene was so... pointless, though. Although it did make awesome fanservice XD
