:bonk: I'm just guessing because they do have multiple directors. However I do feel the slight difference from the first half of the series which was more smoother while right now there are just too much apparent flaws :sweat: Its those little details and gestures that was overdone that bugs me. Shiori hair getting pooffier too.. don't like. Naruse had a bad day in episode 7... the emotion got to burst somehow.

uh! I was right!
They did changed directors.
From Maou at Japanese Wikipedia [ –‚‰¤ (“ú–{‚̃eƒŒƒrƒhƒ‰ƒ}) ]with the help of google translator here are the list of directors according to timeline/episodes:
Ep. 1 & 2: Shin Katou (‰Á“¡V)
Ep. 3 & 4: Toshio Tsuboi (’؈ä•q—Y)
Ep. 5: Takashi Katayama (•ÐŽR„)
Ep. 6: Shin Katou (‰Á“¡V)
Ep. 7: Toshio Tsuboi (’؈ä•q—Y)
Ep. 8: Takashi Katayama (•ÐŽR„)
I'm very sure the romaji is wrong :sweat:

Screenwriters:
Ep. 1-3: Maekawa Yoichi (‘Oì—mˆê)
Ep. 4-8: Nishida Masafumi (¼“cªŽj)

I actually prefer scripts by Maekawa Yoichi and direction by Takashi Katayama.

Akusub has just released the sub for episode 8.

oh bringer of great news kirinlemon-san. THANK YOU
THANK YOU AKUSUB! If you are reading :)

Just an update on the number of episodes

its going for 11
Kind of weird since I think it would have covered the whole Mawang series in just 10 episodes perfectly.. I hope they are not trying to stretch it out and screw the lovely fast pace.

Gah, Maou 8 made me mad because nothing of much importance happened until the end. That ending was really intense though~

tofuuuuu wrote::hehe: I was screaming OHSHIT watching that one despite already knowing the outcome. Nee-san was really sweet. Ohno & Yuuka (Nee-san) chemistry was beautiful. I wish we will see her/them both a bit more.

She was really sweet, the parts with her made me sad. xD

I thought 8 was amazing and covered a lot. It might be my favorite episode despite not having a particular profound scene

(maybe the ending when Naoto recalled Naruse's words *shivers*)

I'm amazed seeing the development of Naruse's character....

Spoiler — click to reveal

he had decided all along its just not meant to be for him and Shiori. I think he'd also had planned the end of it all.. I think the main point of the episode is the progress of THE PLAN. We can see Naoto's friends, his brother and father are all heading for the ultimate doom. Naruse is a genius!

Has anyone downloaded the subbed version of this drama? Do you mind uploading it? Or does anyone know where I can direct download the drama?

ahh..i see..
the hardsubbed ones (those in 1280x720 resolution) were made by Stormy Team..you can dload them either in LiveJournal or aibakaland.. but considering the filesize of each episode, it's always split into parts for the convenience of other users..after you've finished downloading all of them , then you can join the files using HJ Split..

or do you mean joining soft subs and the RAW files?
Try VLC player. Click open file > chose the video you want to play then use the "insert subtitles" option and chose the softsubs meant for the episode.

thanks for the update!! :bow: :victory: :woot:
still waiting for my download to finish.. :mrgreen:

very good drama

lol. someone created a new thread for Maou :sweat:

anyways.. Episode 9 is a killer. I love the direction, its clean and the tension between the two leads was electrifying (the same director for episode 1&2 which I like too). However I hate the writers take on the emotional East Shibuya police detectives :bleh:
Ohno perfected the Maou smirk and Toma did extremely well for making the audience feel for his annoying character. However, Ohno still takes the cake for all the spine tingling evilness and pain portrayed. Such contrast to his dorky self.

Episode 10 preview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKVfRpFUZ3M
Seeing the amount of tears that will be shed, I'm betting that the director is the same one as Episode 7 :bonk:

Hoping the last episode will be directed by my favorite Maou director.

it's nice to know that the ratings isn't dropping for now..hopefully it'll increase by the last 2 episodes!!

episode 9 is :applaud:

Spoiler — click to reveal

i loved on how everything was arranged, like the conspiracies and backstabbing behind Souda's death, it's just too freaking twisted and scary as well..
as for Kasai, he really loves Mari-san with all his ♥ that he's willing to rot in jail just to cover up for her...anyhow, even if he still revealed the truth, i think he'd still go to jail because of adultery and Mari-san might be imprisoned too, so he'd rather take all the responsibility for himself and Mari-san as well..what a tragic love story.. :shakehead:
poor Naoto, knowing about the truth really shocked him, and just like what Ryou said, be looking forward to the choice he'll make..seems like he's really been pushed towards the edge of the cliff after all these revelations and i know it'll hurt him more when he finally founds out who's the real suspect behind Souda's death..

just posting a scap..

riida's shocked expression is :muack: for me.. XDDD

ahaks.. better put the review in a spoiler box meoinkie2 :sweat:
i hope my ep9 review is vague enough

sounds so thriller :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: and that makes me feel uncomfortable now :sweat: :sweat:
