Kamen no Maid Guy

Ah Yes, Kamen no Maid Guy: The series that follows the straightfoward style of your average butler anime, but makes twists and turns along the way to make a very original and unique anime.

Story: The story was very thin, but in a way that was for the better. A basic premise; Two siblings living alone are inheriting a ridiculously large sum of money when the elder sister, one Fujiwara Naeka, comes of age inherit. However the twist to the usual setting; Due to assassins for the inheritance coming after their lives, Two maids are sent to live with them; One, a powerful, almost superhuman maid guy, and the other a calm, beautiful and powerful force of nature who acts as the maid guy's "Tamer" of sorts.

There was minimal in terms of progress, but as I said, it is for the better. This series focuses not on it's background but on giving you the biggest, dirtiest ROFL it can dish out of you. The only time it mentions the story would be the last episode, where you see why they don't mention it. :(

Art: Very basic, however, as this series focus for its comedy was from boob jokes and the maid guy, the main focus of the art were all of the breasts and the maid guy. Strangely enough, it turned out well, and flowed perfectly with the situations made throughout.

Sound: Probably the best part of this anime outside of the jokes is the BGM. All of the music flows perfectly with the situations and the gags, and helps leave the comedic footprint in your brain much better. As for the Theme songs, The Opening was a funny song that opened up the anime pretty well (Hence why it's called an Opening :) )As for the ending, The song in itself was a little serious sounding, but the animation and the lyrics were funny enough to make up for i.t :)

Character: Very similar to the story in the sense that they Don't develop the characters, but because they don't, it's a better anime. The characters, instead of learning about themselves, spend the entire time of each episode trying to get themselves out the hilarious (and usually erotic) situations that they themselves or The maid guy makes.

Enjoyment: Save the last episode, I enjoyed the series very thoroughly. The series was light-hearted and fun, it was a pleasure and relaxing to watch each episode. And in the last episode, there is a slight hint at a another season being a possiblity, so there's a chance that there could be more to enjoy. :)

Overall: I enjoyed this anime wonderfully. I would recommend watching at the first opportunity you get. However, if don't like boob jokes or maid comedy, I would avoid this series, considering that those two concepts make up about 80% of the series. Otherwise, sit back, relax and get ready to enjoy the perverted and hilarious antics of Kamen no Maid Guy. read more

AH! Spring Anime! Nothing short of expecting what is good and what is not. Kamen no Maid Guy fell short of mine even if it is still at the middle of airing but I'm pushing through with my review for the heck of it. ^_^

Story:
Story?! What story? This series got the common "heiress/heir" plot with more ecchi moments at the start and starting to get lackluster nearing the end. Random moments are also imminent as the heroine tries to cope up to the cheesy but "fun" high school life as most anime series would use these days but with the addition of maid servants hired as "bodyguards" until the heroine would come of age to inherit the fortune much akin to Hanaukyo Maid Tai.

Art:
MADhouse animated this one and for me, the animation is pretty average to earlier works recently like Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro. No fancy artwork much used and pretty much consistent until now.

Sound:
Honestly, the OP/ED gave this one plus points for me. Kotoko did the OP and the song was upbeat and catchy while the ending is funny and heavy-metal influenced. Voice acting is average with the exception of Kogarashi. His voice is perfect for being the "Maid Guy" like being sinisterly evil but funny when caught in hilarious ecchi moments or jokes.

Character:
Boing! That much pretty sums it up for characters. Big-busted and not your above-average high school student, the main character (Naeka) kind of bores me with her attitude and traits. Same goes with other characters like her brother (NEET and likes to play eroges), a mysterious transfer student slash loli with her maids too. Particularly, only Kogarashi and Fubuki (the other maid) made good impressions for me.

Enjoyment:
Well, to be honest, I did enjoy this series at the start but it has begun to bore me approaching the end (slated for 12-episodes only as of this writing). One may enjoy the normal ecchi scenes and moments early on but it drags the storyline even more due to just an everyday episode in the life of the heroine.

Overall:
Give this anime a shot IF YOU ARE BORED or TO PAST TIME WITH but stay away from it if you are fed up with linear stories of ecchi/inheritance/maids/high school life type of anime series. The series looks promising if the story decides to take a turn for the good at this point in the middle but I'm keeping my hopes up for this series to end good...*crosses fingers*. :D read more
