The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is required on it.
For anyone thinking of marathoning Maou, I just played catch up with three eps in a row and almost gave myself a heart attack. There was much shrieking, flailing, gasping, bouncing, *_____*ing, and SCREAMING AT THE SCREEN.
You might want to take this drama at a reasonable pace if you don't want it to kill you.
( Maou 6-8, major picspam and text vomit warning. )

I'm so glad you watched this. What is it about this show that makes us a) complicit all over the pace (please kill Yamano like, last week already) and masochists??
Because seriously-- the last two episodes chewed up my heart, spit it out, then danced on the jiggly pieces--AND I LOVED IT AND WANTED MORE.
especially the part with his sister--possibly the one really redeeming thing he's done or effect he's had--but only acknowledged when she pretty much gives him his walking papers. And then--the party. And Sora's picture--and then, the whole hug/angel thing >_< DEAD. (and incoherent ( ... )

The scene with Ryou's sister made me wibble, but I also found it kind of inappropriately funny that the only person thanking Naruse for his deceit was one who had no idea what was going on. XD I wonder if she'd be so touched if she knew Naruse most likely bashed her brother's face in to make his corpse unidentifiable... (Actually, maybe she would. "I was stuck here separated from my brother while he had fun with his friends." What an asshole.)
Niisan blew my mind omg. I never expected him to play a bigger role than the stock husband. I kind of got the feeling he was just testing how deep Kasai would go with the lie-- a lot of his conversations seemed to be pushing him to admit the adultery-- but then Naruse stepped in, all calm and cool and "You don't have anything on your record, do you?" and that just pushed him over the edge. So twisted, and so brilliant ( ... )

I was sort of obsessively waiting for you to finish and picspam so we could chat about this ^^"

I think it was pretty direct, wasn't it? The goons had instructions to chase him into a specific warehouse (I forget the number, but they repeated about three times, which is how I knew it was important *g*) and the floorboards were conveniently flimsy.
Ok, I'll roll on that one . . . though it only works because Ikehata tries to blackmail him and is greedy enough to become stupid enough to realize that Naruse gets people killed all the time (OK twice) and doesn't think that maybe this is a bad Idea . . . also, I really kind of feel that screwing with Makiko might have had a lot to do with the more direct brutality of the murder--temper got the better of him . . . either way, there's no way he's legally responsible, not that that means anything . . . but he had that card ready way before ( ... )

I don't know about Yamano though--is this about Hideo, or just a chance to get back at a high school bully? I assume the latter, mostly because that fits with my very unsympathetic reading of him throughout.
I'm actually feeling for Kasai too. He's a cheating little creep, but he was willing to give up everything for the girl... and she wasn't. Ouch.
That kind of hurt me, too. That wasn't about him being a weasel for once, and his clear bewilderment about Kasai turning on him so much (you're my friend) was pretty awful too. Dude, Serizawa should just take up drinking with his police friends, who at least seem to be decent people ( ... )

Though, now that I think about it, that may be too dark. Tomoo seemed like a sweet kid even after Hideo's death, maybe he wasn't capable of something so gruesome yet.
either way, there's no way he's legally responsible, not that that means anything . . .That's definitely true. I'm just a bit stuck on the way the drama set everything up to be a typical Naruse murder, only to pull the rug out from under ( ... )

Um . . . shower scene? Burned happily into our collective retinas? TwiceOh my god, how lame am I if all I want from the finale is light on Naruse's face?
uh . . . I guess we can be lame together ^_~ If he has to die, and to be honest, I have assumed he'd have to die since the first episode,since, Jail? Hell no, and I don't really see the show letting us off the hook emotionally and him ethically by giving him any kind of a happy ending that doesn't involve death and a sense of self-forgiveness, aided by Shiori's tear-filled, light-enhanced face.
I never really thought Naoto would die, unless they both went down together . . . and . . . cue light! Also awesome ^^
Okay, so maybe "happily ever after" is unlikely, but if they're spending all this time developing their relationship just to kill either of them off then I will cry buckets.You know that's what they want--this show is all about pain. Ours. Which we clearly ( ... )

;_________; IT COULD HAPPEN! They could always be some sort of redeeming non-fatal wound. Maybe Yamano goes crazy and Naruse takes a hit for Naoto! The ultimate turnaround, and a get out of jail free card for all that pesky homicide.
I wonder if Naruse knows about Yamano's involvement in Hideo's death? ...I think we've talked about this before, but I can't remember what we decided. But I think it's possible Naruse doesn't know Yamano was at the scene. Maybe he knows Hideo and Yamano were friends, but not who the knife belonged to or who was really being chased. (Though I think it's equally likely he knows everything as a shiny, lipglossed god, and there's something massive up his sleeve planned for Yamano. Glee!)
At this point, the 'maou' is being seen as something almost external to Naruse, imposed ( ... )

WHY MUST YOU OFFER ME HOPE SO THAT MY SOU IS CRUSHED FURTHER???? I-I can kind of see that . . . and since the police brass pretty much ignore that this is even happening, Naoto almost could get away with it.
Plus, there's still no evidence *fervently ignores the darkroom* They can't really even prove that Naruse is not Naruse Ryou . . . I mean I guess they could go look at dental records, if they're still around for a long-dead runaway without parents . . . All they have is an anagram and a coincidence. Oh, and a psychic. That should go over well. And Ymanano is certainly psycho enough to die dramatically and take the blame rather spectacularly. He's unhinged enough that it's entirely likely that he touched things without gloves, and we know that at least on one and probably two occasions, Yamano delivered the letters ( ... )
