 https://myanimelist.net/anime/59484/Kikaijikake_no_Marie Plot Summary Wealthy, handsome, and successful, Arthur Louis Zetes is no stranger to the greed of people. Constantly doubting those around him, he has no faith in humanity; thus, he makes a request for the perfect maid—a robot maid. However, his butler is unable to acquire such a servant due to technological limitations, so he finds the next best substitute. Marie Evans is a former child prodigy in martial arts known for her lack of expression. Drowning in debt, she readily accepts the offer to be a maid that acts like a robot. While Arthur is often blunt towards humans, he cannot help but dote on his personal robot; in turn, Marie is moved by his drive and consideration toward her.

| I immediately sensed the 'Robot' situation but, it was still quite funny when it was revealed xD I'm not expecting much from this show yet but, would love for it to have lots of cards on its sleeve. |

| Episode 1 It begins with Arthur, one of the few virtuous men in charge of a big business who is on a mission to root out the greed and corruption by these bigwigs, being targeted for assassination by those greedy bastards. To protect himself, he wants to hire a robot maid to protect him seeing that he doesn't trust humanity. So in comes Marie, who unbeknownst to him is actually a human who is good at impersonating a robot and a skilled fighter who needs the money to support her family. So Marie is hired on as a "robot" maid, and the first attempt at his life comes in the form of a fellow student who hates the fact that he has a "robot" for a maid, and arranges for a car to kidnap him by arriving just before he is set to depart for a seminar. But Marie springs into action to rescue him before getting trapped herself in a burning building, where Arthur alerts his buddies to come and rescue her. So it was silly stuff, and while it's nothing substantial it could be fun if it plays its cards right. |
| this was fun, but there's another manga about a kuudere maid and her master that I would like to seen made into an anime. |
| It joins my growing TBD list. I'll have to watch another episode or two to decide. It's getting to be a long list. There are so many shows on the edge this season. This could turn into something good, or it be repetitive and boring. |

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. People in the forums are saying they used AI for those still frames that were drawn differently. I hope that wasn't the case.
| @MenchiK1 I've seen the Gag of using more detailed stills in other shows, not sure why people are jumping to the assumption that it's AI stuff. If it is, that's a shame but it's not something I would have thought from watching. |
| I didn't hate it, but I wasn't charmed enough for it to make the cutoff. We've barely begun and already my Sunday queue is too long. |
| So the girl is basically an older version of Key who becomes a maid due to debt. And a misanthropic main character! I'm in! We need more of those who aren't simply edgelords. |
| I thought that was pretty good. Another one of the silly fun shows of the season. It's not hilarious or anything, but the jokes mostly work and the characters are likable enough. The thought that the stills might be AI generated crossed my mind at one point. I think that's mostly just because a lot of AI art is done in that anime style. I'm not sure if it would even be worth it to use AI for that though since you would most likely have to go back over it and alter it quite a bit anyway. |

| Episode 2 Marie continues to protect Arthur as the assassins keep on coming, starting with somebody trying to poison Arthur at a party he's hosting, and then somebody trying to bomb the place. Afterwards, the two become quite close and needing to keep her robotic appearance, she avoids physical contact with him. Afterwards, Marie is fired from her job since Roy has a real robotic maid for him. But before she leaves, the robot Marie sees the human Marie as a threat and tries to eliminate him, but Arthur protects her. Despite that, Arthur does not find out about Marie's identity as a human, and instead believes that her AI was buggy. I had a feeling this was way too soon for Arthur to find out the truth about Marie, and while I expect it to eventually be figured out, it would be towards the end of the series and not the second episode, so this charade continues on as it should. |
| Episode 3 And now, Arthur goes on a "date" with his "robot maid" where she simply imitates what others are doing, which is not exactly what Arthur had in mind. And then comes Noah, another assassin after Arthur's life, but he's somebody who is more interested in making Marie his rather than assassinating Arthur. He ends up transferring into Arthur's class and engages in a duel to see who can catch more chickens, but Noah wins, he calls it a draw since Arthur had to save Marie. So now assassins are getting more sophisticated here as Noah is somebody who knows about Marie's secret, and he's ready to expose it, but for now he's playing along. |
MenchiK1 said: Well I gave it three episodes, chasing Angry Bird chickens around for half an episode...what a horrible waste of a maid show...:( I mean, you could have watched Akiba Maid War which is essentially the Puella Magi Madoka Magica of the Otaku Maid show. At least with chasing Angry Bird Chickens around you somewhat expect a housekeeper to do that. |
| Episode 4 As faithful as Marie is, she's just one person and with Noah knowing all her secrets that not even Arthur knows about, it's going to be a big problem. So with Arthur in bed with a bad cold, that makes him a sitting duck. But it's a good thing Marie 2 is there to back her up when the human Marie is too busy with other things. |
