SynopsisFujiwara Naeka is a typical 17 year-old high school student. Or so we thought. She`s really one of two surviving heirs of a tycoon who has the right to inherit his mass fortune when she turns 18 in half a year. Fubuki, a young and beautiful maid, and Kogarashi, a big burly maid guy with a mask, have been assigned to keep Naeka and her brother Kousuke safe from those who would plot their demise, and to steal the fortune she would inherit.

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

Think crazy+maid guy+ maid fetish side character. This show is unique beyond belief, the character design of Kogarashi is very hard to get use untill you understand where the inspiration for the design came from, he is meant to look like a samurai or war lord to suit Fujiwara Naeka (the main female characters) fetish for strong men, all the while this is being described by Fujiwara Naeka grandfather who is planning to hand over his fortune to his granddaughter Fujiwara Naeka when she turns 18 in half a year (yet she doesn't know this). Fujiwara Naeka and Kogarashi relationship isn't exactly harmonious he is best described as a large wild beast who is impervious to all conventional attacks, common sense and moral decency. Tho Fujiwara Naeka has a secret weapon a whistle that works just like Goku's golden headband.
The opening song is performed by Kotoko who have done sond for other shows such as onegai teacher/twins, Hayate the Combat Butler, Kannazuki no Miko, Starship Operators and Shakugan no Shana, the music it's self is upbeat and lively which help with the atmosphere of this show.
The voice acting is superbly done especially by Koyama Rikiya who quiet literately breaths life into the role of Kogarashi and makes the character not only an extension of himself but an entirely new entity.
The art style looks simplistic at first but this is due to what should be call the "no poor scenes" style there are no badly animated parts or dead animation it is above average all the time and when Kogarashi is in frame the quality only seams to get better.
Overall this show can not be recomended highly enough it is a unique comedy with a few eechi joke but not overly used to the point of it might as well be hentai, this is a must watch show. read more

If you're looking for laughs in almost every episode as the main characters go through every-day life, then watch both these series.
Very Similar in Comedy without the aspect of "Master and Servant".

they both have maids and masters put in outrageous situations but in this case the master is crazy.
These two series share the same three core elements: maids, boobs, and humour. He is My Master combines the 'maids' and 'boobs' elements into the same characters while Maid Guy has the 'master' characters providing the fanservice, but let's be honest, it doesn't make much of a difference.
