When I finished watching this anime, I immediately marked it as completed here on the site as I usually do. One thing I noticed was the average score of this anime is extremely low for what this anime has to offer the viewer.
I was outraged, so I went to see the reviews to understand what was the issue that people were seeing in this anime, but I soon understood what was happening after seeing some reviews.
A very peculiar pattern is that most of the negative reviews had the indication of "preliminary" while the positive reviews were from people who actually completed the anime. I understand

Your Feelings Categories Aug 28, 2022
On one hand, I get the negative and mixed reviews. This show is not exactly the most original, though it is somewhat unique in what it does. It is also supremely enjoyable to watch and very wholesome at that, so I am not going to dunk on it too hard. It's a very SoL feeling show and if there was ever a sliver of doubt whether I want to hear Rie Takahashi in a maid role, that sliver has now been thoroughly obliterated. This show is pretty much the peak of unadultered, degenrate fan service and I love it for it.

I've watched only the 4 first episodes at moment. However I've enjoyed it very much so far, and here is why:
At first some might think that it is your typical unfunny romance comedy with bad taste. But I don't think so, for me this anime depicts the everyday life of a maid and her master in a very "moe" cute way. This is a slice of life which some might find boring, but other, like myself, find it very entertaining. The story begins with the master losing his parents and due to financial difficulties, his servants as well. He, thus chooses to take care of ... Oct 8, 2022
Your seasonal bit of feel good fodder which has a feel good vibe to it.
Not a bad anime if you're looking for an 11 episode slice of life revolving around a pre teen kid who's innocently ignorant about the other ways he can come off when talking to his maid. It has mild comedy in it if you like the entertaining reactions to comments the MC makes which he isn't fully aware of when he makes them because he's a pre teen kind of sheltered kid with the sub genre being romance which you know there'll never be full on romance because that would just ...

A young child's parents have died and he is left by his lonesome at the helm of his estate, unable to afford the servants that had previously aided his household, and so he is left alone--that is, until a young maid arrives to attend to him.
At face value this is a slice-of-life romantic comedy that is a one-trick pony: it sets up intimate moments between this young, well-endowed, exotic maid and the juvenile master of the estate that would leave your run-of-the-mill main characters flustered or bloody-nosed at the sheer suggestive nature of the rapport. This show turns this concept on its head by having ... Oct 8, 2022
This show is the epitome of knowing everything that has been done with the genre, yet making an almost inferior version of it because the creative juices have all but been squeezed out to nothingness. And in case you didn't know, this Summer's Saikin Yatotta Maid ga Ayashii a.k.a The Maid I Hired Recently Is Mysterious is the 2nd anime adaptation of mangaka Wakame Konbu's works, the 1st of which was last Summer's 2-cour, 20-episode long Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! a.k.a The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated!, which was enjoyable to a certain degree with its comedy and whatnot. Sadly though, what this show offers

Honestly I have watched this anime not once but twice.
One thing I tell people before watching anime is to first search within themselves and know what they would like to watch at that particular instance. If you wan a classic romance anime that makes you blush, this anime is perfect. I rated it 10 stars because it is pert for its genre. The background music is on another level, the graphics is on another level. The story line is so simple, it's completely for fun and relaxation. I always enjoy watching this and I would recommend it to anyone who just needs something to cool his head down. Aug 24, 2022
When you were 10, did you ever have a super hot maid that seemed like she was a witch and you wanted to sleep with her?
No? Well here is your chance to live vicariously through a young kid who hires a maid who is made to compete as a top anime waifu with her charm, wit, and large assets. Maybe if I was a kid and wanted some cheap fan service this would be amazing. The problem with this anime is to me, they are trying two genres that do not seem to go well together, ecchi and slice of life. It's like peanut ... Apr 9, 2025
Whenever I finish an anime like Saikin Yatotta Maid ga Ayashii, I get that weird mix of satisfaction and sadness. It’s like… how many more beautiful stories like this are still out there waiting for me? And will I really have the time to watch them all in this lifetime? This one hit me right in that soft spot—the kind that makes you sit in silence for a few seconds after the last episode ends.
I genuinely loved this anime. It’s such a warm, light-hearted, and emotional ride that sneaks up on you. At first, I thought it was going to be another run-of-the-mill romcom with ... Nov 28, 2022
Really loved the anime. I really recommend you to watch it
i was bored watching the same old anime.. But this anime is something different 10 out of 10 for me really good animating and the story was really great just wanna see that kid grow with her maid of course Even though i didn't get to see some romance in the first season....So I have big hope to see more Hope will will be a season 2 of this anime soon can't wait to see more development of there relationship i wish it would get more popular i really think that you will enjoy this anime because of it's ... Aug 9, 2023
Well,i think i'm gonna go give it (6,90) for this anime ratings. But,before some MAL gangsters or elders account come to read this. That ratings just meant that this anime is only at 'fine' level and not good enough to be in 'good' level.
Okay,moving on to story aspect. In terms of story, the development of the plot feels clumsy. Called broad development it feels too narrow and vice versa. The plot presented was rushed to completion at the end of the episode. I don't know, since what episode does the development of the story in this anime start to be unclear. In terms of characterization, ... Apr 6, 2024
It's a show about wife beater in the making but no one seems to be noticing subtle red flags main character keeps planting on every interaction with any female. While description doesn't really describe this show as such, main character has all the tell tale signs. All the love interests are servants and they have to do what he orders, and orders are absolute. He frequently states they are his and his alone. If they displease him it's their fault and they constantly apologize and bloom on any sort of acknowledgement and/or forgiveness from main character. He gets angry when they leave the house and

Man, this anime is just one big bundle of adorableness! I want to preface by saying that I am by no means a fan of slice of life series - I find most of them to be either very boring or way too sugar coated. This one though, I don't even know what it is specifically, but it just does it for me. If I'm ever in a bad mood, a few episodes of this will always cheer me up.
The greatest strength here is obviously the titular maid Lilith. She is very cute and lovable and her design is awesome, her brilliant purple eyes ... Sep 13, 2022
The Maid I Hired Recently is pretty SUS.
The title is the premise and the joke. Get ready to have that joke repeated over and over and over again until the season ends. Well I don’t know if that will be the case, but I do know that it’s the case for the past 7 episodes I’ve watched, and quite honestly the joke got old real fast. Maybe it’s because I enjoyed “The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated” and knowing that this was written by Konbu, the same mangka I expected this to be good, but I’ve got to admit that the charm that hooks ...

English.
I did not expect anything and in truth there is nothing to highlight, it's good, it's not bad and I think it's a very strange idea for an anime but it manages to entertain, from the beginning you know what will happen in this one and that there will be nothing interesting to highlight, It is the typical anime to pass the time that will make you laugh and will keep you entertained for the twelve chapters that this season or good anime has. The main idea is of a child whose parents die and leave him with an inheritance not so big to support himself, ... Mar 17, 2023
What would have been a trashy ecchi anime in any other universe, turns out to be anime romance novel. What I thought would be trashy coomer bait seems to be more targeted towards girls.
It became quickly apparent to me that it was written by a woman during my viewing. This is because the show follows a general pattern of "thing happens" -> "MC compliments the maid as a result of the thing". The male MC basically just exists to compliment and make the female lead feel desired, which is what tipped me off to it being written by a woman. It's unapologetic whish fulfillment and ...

Watched from: 18th to 19th May 2025
Initially, this anime did remind me a lot of "You're Ms. Servant", but it's just not the same. Honestly, I don't even have a full explanation about it. The story follows Yuuri, somewhere between 10 and 12, and Lilith, this mysterious femme de chambre aged 16-18. Gradually, a subtle feeling of affection enters between the pair. Quite often, Yuuri complements Lilith from his own innocence while she would get shy at the compliment. At other times, she is teasing Yuuri while grinding her teeth to lacerate her affection-during her care for his needs and even his feelings. This constant blend ... Dec 1, 2022
A slow romance, generally, that's the type of the romance cute, so cute because of the innocence of the caracters... The more I watched, the more I melted.
Story and Caracters : Yes, Saikin Yatotta Maid ga Ayashii's not the perfect cute romance. Yuri's saying always the sames things realizing, it gets repetitive. But I can forgive that, Yuri stops declaring his love like that, the story will become weird and will be less cute. I love the reactions of Yuri, he always say his maid is strange, even if in love with she, that's repetitive, but not disturbing. I love his innocence too, he's not realizing ... Nov 27, 2022
A lot of people skip this because it isn't up to their normal anime standards, complain a lot while not daring to watch more. Yet make a huge mistake by just doing that. True, the first few episodes can seem a bit repetitive, but there is actually growth in both main characters, Lilith and Yuuri.
Story: -------- The story starts with Yuuri all alone in his mansion, his parents died in a accident leaving him all alone (No explanation where other family are or what they do or why he's left all alone). Lilith soon arrives and doesn't tell who she is really, her name isn't even given ... Sep 17, 2022
This show was a huge disappointment. I expected some things from it, but it just didn't live up to my hopes.
Saikin Yatotta Maid ga Ayashii is about this annoying brat whose parents died and left him some mansion, and then this maid girl comes in, and starts acting very weird and trying to get very close to him and that just felt very uncomfortable to watch. One reason why I hated this show was because of the main character, 'Yuri', that spoiled brat I was talking about. Whenever he sees that maid do literally anything at all, he shouts 'Ayashii' for no reason. THIS ... |
