That reveal that Iris is the maou was handled rather poorly. Timing is off; like, as soon as Frey mentioned something about the maou, you could already guess what was going on.

Agreed entirely. It really shows how little they think of the viewer/reader that they feel the need to explicitly state it. Add it to the pile of poor storytelling choices in this show (my previous rant about this). I am not familiar with the source material, so I can't pinpoint where the issue lies, but it continues to disappoint.
I am right there with you. This show is really inconsistent and that makes it frustrating. Like it feels the need to spell out certain things, but other things aren't explained well or don't make sense. I'm really curious if the source material is that way also, because if it is, I can't see why it would have gotten an anime adaptation. Internet from original world being added offscreen, how all the "testing crystals" just show no manna, but all of a sudden the same crystal type blows up when it's convenient for the plot, which one of him is at school at any given point, it's all kind of a mess. I'll finish the season, but if they announce a S2, I will likely not be back.
