Ok so first of all anyone who hates Cgi just in general can go suck a truck because I’m tired of every decent Cgi series be compared to Ex-Arm it’s clearly without a doubt not even close to that seriously y’all are stupid or being an annoying troll (seriously trolls y’all ain’t funny get a life) but anyway review of the show
“Giving a white wilted rose means to give never ending love” Now I don’t know if that’s true but man did that tug my heart strings
Animation: (7) Ok so yes the anime is CGI and before you walk away from it, it’s

Imagine living with a beautiful maid everyday who serves you, pleases you, and wants to be with you at all times. The only problem? You can't touch her. It almost sounds appaling but that is the fate of Bocchan, a noble man who suffers a curse where he kills anything he touches.
When I heard news of the manga getting the anime adaptation, it wasn't a bit surprising. It's one of the most popular manga from Sunday Webry and contains a premise that is suitable for a fantasy rom-com. With the manga running over 190 chapters, it also seems clear the anime doesn't have enough ... Sep 19, 2021
This show, though it appears to be tragic, at its heart it is just another romcom(that will make us smile and feel good for the rest of the day) with a nice premise. I'm saying this, because I'm sure some of you came to this show after hearing it's premise, and though it was gonna be a tragic show with complex characters.
(APPROACHING SPOILERS) So, I'm gonna make this short, this anime is really good. The premise is very interesting; so close, yet so far. Tragic, yet wholesome, and I think it would make an interesting story. And they absolutely nailed it. Let's get the small ... Sep 19, 2021
Me: "Oh hello, busty Takagi-san. Is that you trying to entice the love of your life, if in an alternate world where Nishikata was cursed and he cannot touch you?"
Takagi: "Nope, my dear male MC Nishikata is trying to be Code:Realize's MC Cardia Beckford, a lady whom can decay anything at the slightest touch. He's trying his very best to break out of his curse, just like Cardia. And thank god that he's not in a harem." Nishikata: "Yes, I'm cursed, so busty Takagi can only do her teasing through sexually harassing me to the best of her abilities and make that her usual running gag ... Sep 19, 2021
Pain. An unpleasant feeling that everyone has experienced once in their life. Be it a small cut while doing geometry homework or getting rejected by your first crush with a small letter that she didn’t even hand deliver herself, it’s a feeling that no one wants to experience, but they don’t have the liberty of choice. Now imagine living a life, completely isolated, with no interactions with friends or family and an inability to touch or feel anything. It sounds like a nightmare, a fever dream that you want to quickly wake up from. Unfortunately for our favorite duke, it’s a harsh reality.
The duke of ... Jul 25, 2021
Before I start: This Anime is tanking at least 1 Point from me because of the 3D animation. In my option it just never looks good, in this case it looks more or less like a game rather than an Anime.
As a huge fan of the Manga I was looking forward to this. Story is great, Characters are amazing and the setting too. But the way this Anime is done is not really to my liking. While the Manga has a lot of it's charme from the Art, the Anime does not - they decided to make it 3D models. What would have worked better (IMO) ... Jul 29, 2021
I don't know why these trolls are complaining about the animation and characters, they are great. I like the story how it's going right from the first episode. The antagonist is always trying his best to get over his past and has a nice supporting character. Woah, there's some nice teasing every few minutes and the voice actor suits Alice and her character very well.
I'm looking forward to how he overcomes his past and also his curse. Music is excellent, especially the opening and ending song coming right from the character voice actor's. The first episode animation was a bit laggy, but it was ... Aug 10, 2021
Let me begin by saying that the animation is very nice, even if it is CGI it doesn't always mean that it's bad.
The story is interesting and original and the characters, while not all that interesting, are still decent. I'd say it would be a 9/10 anime if not for the excessive sexual harassment, which is also a thing in the manga, but way easier to gloss over. While that is the case, the voice acting, sound design and good animation manage to make it an enjoyable adaptation regardless. Overall would recommend if you're into slice of life, with a side of magic, type stuff. Jul 27, 2021
This show isn't for the faint of heart. The FMC constantly teases the MC in various ways, ranging from innocent or playful gestures of closeness to straightforward and blatant sexual harassment. But unlike other shows where we've seen this theme, here we have the added threat of her straight up dying if they really touched (and no, him wearing gloves does not remove the risk, we are shown they do not help in one of the first scenes). As a result, aside of the typical feelings of awkwardness or embarrassment or perhaps anger or annoyance this could evoke in the MC, and by extension in

I'm a huge sucker for romance anime, and this one actually has it all. It's got an interesting hook and characters with actual personalities. The main plot is a romance between an aristocratic heir who was cursed by a witch as a child to kill all he touches (hence the "Duke of Death"), and his maid, Alice.
The pace of the romance between the Duke and Alice feels incredibly natural, and the chemistry between the two is clear with an actual backstory to it, instead of it being 'just because.' The dynamic between the two of them balances out quite nicely. Even though Alice technically ... Sep 19, 2021
Tick Tock although it is impossible to hold hands , Tick Tock the more time it goes by.....
Now that was a very soothing anime, where one can truly say that love conquers all and that true love never abandons the one they truly desire, now that this rom com anime has ended, it was kinda sad that we were never told as to why an innocent boy like Bocchan would have to bear the curse that he doesn't deserve, so here are my ratings for this rom cam anime. Story-fair 6: Ok, so the plot covers the romance between the curse Bocchan and his maid lice, ... Aug 8, 2021
Rarely do I write reviews but the amount of crybabies I've seen in this anime review section is pissing me off!
If you don't like CGI then there's no point even checking this anime just to shit on it for no reason, find something else to watch, though it will be your loss because the story is just beautiful and the relationship between the duke and his maid is just teasingly beautiful. This will contain some spoilers just to be aware : This is the story between a lonely duke who was abandoned by his own family due to a spell on him made him cursed to ... Jun 12, 2024
I really enjoyed watching this season. I honestly find the premise to the anime to be very interesting. A young boy being cursed by a witch and forced to live out his days devoid of any contact with anything and anyone or else they will die. Thinking back I can't think of any anime that has come close to that plot point and I do think it's an interesting one. I will say I do wish though there was more of an explanation of why he was cursed in the first place as all we know from the end of the first season is "witch

Aug 12, 2021
Should you watch it? I'd say yes. Give it 3-6 episodes you'll know if it's for you or not by then.
Story: I find the overall story where the duke has a curse where he can't touch living things or they'll die quiet interesting. His overall goal is figuring out how to break that curse, so he can touch living things again. But that's just one thing to focus on in this story. The other main thing is just the relationship with the duke and the maid. They love each other, but they cannot touch. Yet beyond that small difference they make it work, and still ... Apr 24, 2023
At first I was skeptical of CG used to make the show but eventually it really didn't matter much and with the budget they had, they did a very good job of using it properly not to show the imperfections it would otherwise bring. And that would be my only real negative thing to say about the show really.
I really enjoyed the kind-hearted nature of the show which at first makes it obviously unsettling for the whole reason of MC being capable to destroy anything living by touch, and it develops characters and their relationships quite nicely with an appropriate cliffhanger by the end of ...

"The Duke of Death and His Maid" offers a refreshing take on the romance anime genre, providing viewers with a unique and engaging story. The series introduces us to interesting characters who add depth and charm to the narrative.
One of the standout features of the anime is its ability to balance romance with a touch of ecchi. The show teases the audience with playful moments without crossing into explicit territory, keeping the tone light-hearted and entertaining. This approach adds a layer of humor and anticipation, making it suitable for a wider audience. The animation in "The Duke of Death and His Maid" is commendable, showcasing quality ... Sep 19, 2021
Story: 5/10
Undoubtedly the best romance of this season because its competition is just another typical harem show. Fair share of comedy, romance and drama that makes the story dazzling. At first, it seemed to me like the quintessential slice of life comedy that would have a pretty shallow plot expansion. I was right. Fundamentally, it is structured much like "Teasing Master Takagi-san", and their relationship seems to be written like a Romeo and Juliet type of love which I can appreciate. Art: 6/10 If you do not enjoy CGI at ALL, this show is going to be the death of you. In all honesty, the CGI ... Nov 16, 2021
Although its animation is CGI that did not prevent the anime Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid from being one of the best of the summer season 2021.
The story, the suspense and the comedy (also the ecchi) combine very well with this anime being well loved despite its CGI animation, who is the witch who cursed Bocchan and why did she do it? How will they break the curse? Will Bocchan give Alice like a drawer that doesn't close when she breaks the curse? These are some questions that this anime leaves you (the last question I said as a joke xd), a love story that ... Aug 9, 2021
Do not be fooled by its animation this anime is going to enchant you.
Romance but no contact is a love story between a maid and a cursed duke. At first, I didn't like it, but as the chapters went by I liked it. A bit of Fan Servis, but it's a comic book story. XD The Protangonistas are well done and the story has a central idea. ... Sep 8, 2021
Hmmm. Perhaps the first that every one would say... The story is dragged, mainstream, or ruined? The CGI is bad, animation sucks? Characters are blank and meaningless?
Well... They are the basic ones. Trust me when i say, if you have experienced general life, as it is, this anime will be enjoyable for you. The basic story is, that his Grace is cursed by a witch, whom ever he touches, dies. Okay, it is simple. Characters? Okay, his Grace.. general blushy from maid, afraid to touch others.. keeps distance - thats pretty simple too. The Black Maid? A little perverted, good looking and loves teasing. ... |
