Honestly, my biggest complaint for Maou Gakuin is the fact that there are no English-translated light novels
You have to read through TenSura LN MTL too for volume 13-18. Although the MTL was edited so it was less painful than Maou Gakuin
Nailed it, you voiced our opinions in the best possible way, bro. Loved it.Art
Hands down, Maou Gakuin's art is better TenSura's. TenSura has a wacky and odd art style. It certainly grew on me and I like it, but Maou Gakuin has such a great art style. Simultaneously badass looking and makes characters look amazing. Also it's more detailed,and just overall better. Just look below.
Manga art style for TenSura does look very nice though.
Manga: TenSura > Maou Gakuin
Anime: Maou Gakuin > TenSura
Light Novel: Maou Gakuin >>>>> TenSura
World Building
TenSura certainly has a lot more world building (one might even say too much), but I always found Maou Gakuin's gods, weapons, magic with cool abilities and names, and multiverse better than TenSura's more generic world that is somewhat confusing at times. I've never been a fan of game-like world building with the skills, ranks, and a million different races. The skills also have boring powers compared to Maou Gakuin's magic. Weapons in TenSura don't really get a spotlight and are not special. For example, Rimuru had a plain-looking mythical black katana (or something) that is made of some durable metal that doesn't do anything special (and Rimuru isn't really the best at swordfights either and barely gets by just because of Raphael/Ciel). Meanwhile, Anos has a god-like jet-black shadow sword that destroys the infinite and eternal and even reason and logic and looks very badass (can even fight against top swordsmans with his other swords through skill.) Weapons in Maou Gakuin also have secret depths (some have many) which do even more special things.
Characters
Anos >>>>> Rimuru (in power, character, background, development, and pretty much everything else). The side characters of both series are quite equal. I still think Maou Gakuin > TenSura in side characters because the characters in Maou Gakuin get their own arcs and flashbacks while in TenSura they don't. You really learn Maou Gakuin's characters' motivations and personalities while everyone in TenSura is like "my life sucked before Rimuru saved me and now life is good and I serve him for eternity". TenSura has some funny characters like Veldora of course. As for the character's strength, powers and abilities, Maou Gakuin >>>> TenSura easily obviously. Very interesting hax in Maou Gakuin. Has a character with a spear that transcends space and time, a character who can't be destroyed even if you destroy even the nothingness after his destruction and used a scythe that can mess up cause and effect, a character that manipulates possibilities, etc.
Story
I prefer Maou Gakuin's story (Anos: saving the multiverse with style) vs TenSura (Rimuru: trying to build a nation where he can live a comfortable life). I always enjoyed the mysteries in the arcs of Maou Gakuin (who is Avos Dillhevia?, what was my past?, who is the king of the gods?, etc). TenSura was always more predictable IMO (someone attacked me so I fight back to keep my peaceful life). TenSura always felt like a story to enjoy during free time while Maou Gakuin is the story you set aside free time for. Both TenSura and Maou Gakuin have OP main characters, but Anos does it way better. TenSura also has some lame moments. Rimuru is all like "I gotta protect my people" and TenSura just has moments that try to make you feel sad but fail. In later arcs, overpowered armies just destroy everyone else. Maou Gakuin is the same but better ("Tempest Federation vs the Empire which takes place in a big maze" and then there is "The nations of the world including humans, demons, spirits, and dragonewts vs the god race in a world-ending battle"). And dear god, the damn labyrinth arc was boring af. I feel like TenSura has many moments of just boring stuff, mostly useless world building. Maou Gakuin is just constant entertainment, action, and comedy. TenSura does have many spinoffs and side stories (slice of life moments) which are nice. The fights in Maou Gakuin are so much better and it's not even a competition. Not only are there more interesting powers, there is actually some strategy. TenSura is literally just Rimuru letting Great Sage/Raphael/Ciel doing everything for him and his attacks are literally just him eating his opponents with Gluttony/Beelzebub/Azathoth. Anos actually uses new powers and weapons. First few arcs were Jio Graze, Bebesd and then later he starts using Egil Grone Angdroa, Levine Girma, Veneziara. After that there comes the Two Laws Sword, Rayon, etc. And while Anos is very OP the enemies he fights actually are quite strong too instead of Rimuru just flawlessly defeating everyone which makes his enemies look too lame and weak. If your enemies are look weak then you don't actually look strong after defeating them. And then TenSura has a lot of common tropes and cliches in anime and Maou Gakuin feels more unique to me. I find things funnier in Maou Gakuin ("Did you think killing me would be enough to make me die?", can't wait for a solar eclipse so moves the moon instead vs a bunch of "haha, I like elves and they're hot", "haha, I know manga" and then a bunch of references to other works, "Shion's cooking is bad", "how dare you insult Rimuru?" beats up the person who insulted Rimuru). Perhaps I just feel like a lot of jokes are repetitive in TenSura and while Anos makes a lot of "Did you think...?" statements they're always new and amusing.
Conclusion
Maou Gakuin > TenSura
I like Maou Gakuin because it's a story with OP main character done right without sacrificing on character development and story. TenSura kinda feels like a bit of OP main character, slice of life, and other things. I like action and comedy and Maou Gakuin gives it to me. Feels like a jack of all trades. Honestly, my biggest complaint for Maou Gakuin is the fact that there are no English-translated light novels. I enjoy both stories though, and I have read/watched through all of Maou Gakuin and TenSura (including the WN but not the non-canon manga). Hopefully, I don't seem like I'm bashing on TenSura too hard.
TLDR: TenSura is great but for every reason I like TenSura, Maou Gakuin does it better.
Lmao, no.Pero la muerte instantánea es mejor B)
Bern can you translate it?Lmao, no.
He said that maou gakuin is better than TenSura but Instant Death is better than both, basicallyBern can you translate it?
Mas españoles por fin... Also NOEstoy de acuerdo con todos, uhh ciertamente Maou Gakuin es mejor que TenSura.
Pero instant death es mejor B)
Solo vi el hilo y comente xd... Y chale :cMas españoles por fin... Also NO
Queee, eres español?? yo pensaba que eras Latino Jajajajaja. Me dijiste que no eras Español de España XDMas españoles por fin... Also NO
Actually, she dont wants to, it was the only way to make Misha "live", there has some explanation regarding it, but im to lazy lmaoWhy does Misha’s twin sister (that’s also part of her) want to kill her so bad?
That’s even more convoluted. Misha was there for her, yet Sasha hates her, yet she’s trying to save her, by killing her, that she actually doesn’t want to do, but it actually makes her live?Actually, she dont wants to, it was the only way to make Misha "live", there has some explanation regarding it, but im to lazy lmao
Sasha never hates Misha,she does that because that's the requirement for her plan to save MishaThat’s even more convoluted. Misha was there for her, yet Sasha hates her, yet she’s trying to save her, by killing her, that she actually doesn’t want to do, but it actually makes her live?
Yeah, that just feels not human. All of a sudden she just flips the script and trashes her to protect her?Sasha never hates Misha,she does that because that's the requirement for her plan to save Misha
Hmmm your opinion sounds more like you don't know anything about the other series you're throwing so much hate lolThat’s even more convoluted. Misha was there for her, yet Sasha hates her, yet she’s trying to save her, by killing her, that she actually doesn’t want to do, but it actually makes her live?
Sounds like a horrible, washed version of Yuji Itadori vs Yuta Okkotsu, which was actually done right.
Due to the nature of the spell created by Ivis (Evil Dude), Sasha had to make Misha hate her so that she would take her place as the real one, since Misha was going to disappear and Sasha wanted her to live, although in the end Misha never hated her and then, Anos arrived and saved both.Yeah, that just feels not human. All of a sudden she just flips the script and trashes her to protect her?
I'm latin from Latin America not EspañaQueee, eres español?? yo pensaba que eras Latino Jajajajaja. Me dijiste que no eras Español de España XD
Pero bueno, yo soy de España XD
Basically if Misha doesn't reject Sasha she will disappear,that's why Sasha did a lot of bad things to Misha so that Misha will hate Sasha and be aliveYeah, that just feels not human. All of a sudden she just flips the script and trashes her to protect her?
I said that the scenario was horrible. I do find it very interesting the opinion you don’t agree with correlates to me not knowing the series.Hmmm your opinion sounds more like you don't know anything about the other series you're throwing so much hate lol
Ya por eso pregunté, espero no haber molestado con la pregunta, si acaso me pasé con la pregunta que sepas que no fué mi intención.I'm latin from Latin America not España
Lol, I don't know why I should be angry about the question? All good broYa por eso pregunté, espero no haber molestado con la pregunta, si acaso me pasé con la pregunta que sepas que no fué mi intención.
Saludos!!!
Tranca, no hay problema. Por si acaso, un gusto conocerlos!!, soy algo nuevo por acá xdYa por eso pregunté, espero no haber molestado con la pregunta, si acaso me pasé con la pregunta que sepas que no fué mi intención.
Saludos !!!
Because they just think it is a generic isekai anime with Mc Op, due to the way Anime cut too much of the original content of the novel.Well actually I understand why do ppl hate Maou Gakuin if they only watch anime lol
TenSura and Maou Gakuin anime are pretty hateable (if that word exists)Well actually I understand why do ppl hate Maou Gakuin if they only watch anime lol
All of this is irrelevant. What asserts I hate the series, or don’t know anything about it, or that I’m angry? There were claims on TenSura earlier I could’ve refuted, but that’s their interpretation, not mine, so why should I care? If you believe I’m hateful, go for it, I frankly don’t care, like I said, I just find it very intriguing the opinion you don’t agree with is automatically associated with anger, hate, and ignorance.There are so many things I don't like about Maou Gakuin, although I'm not going to get angry or throw hate at people who hate the series/don't know anything about it, my general opinion is that I like both Tensura and Maou Gakuin, but I like the latter more than Tensura.
Almost all anime of isekai novels actually,their only duties are advertising for the main novelTenSura and Maou Gakuin anime are pretty hateable (if that word exists)
I’m not understanding though. Misha, as far as I recall, didn’t hate her. Even as she got stabbed in the chest by her, she seemed more melancholy. Coupled with the fact she was to disappear at midnight on her 15th birthday, I can’t imagine why she went through the effort to stab her if they were going to refuse anyways.Basically if Misha doesn't reject Sasha she will disappear,that's why Sasha did a lot of bad things to Misha so that Misha will hate Sasha and be alive
