I remember Paripi Koumei's premiere being much better looking and more promising with its premise. As batshit crazy as the premise intends to be, it feels like a hodgepodge of nonsensical stuff going on without much coherency. I'm concerned as to how these ideas will mesh together well enough or not, and it's bad enough that many of the recognizable archetypes rubbed me the wrong way. Hope it's worthwhile by the end of the mayhem.

This is just fantastic, best first episode I've seen in years. I love Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, and everyone who went in their footsteps (e.g. early Guy Ritchie), so this is absolutely my type of show, and I'm having a blast already.

Picking this for FAL was certainly the right call, too, haha.

This was funnier than I expected. Definitely going to keep watching. I loved that they mixed the killing with the moe song.

Already had high expectations, but this exceeded them. Knew this would be dark, but this is a bit more than I expected. Judging from the first episode for me the best anime this season. And surprisingly it didn't have time travel, at least yet.

The latest entry in the P.A. Works' working series features both maids and gunmen! Almost feels like a partial return to Canaan.
I betcha Cygames is also developing a video game based on this anime (and maybe it will also be a repeat of the Uma Musume phenomenon?).

That insert reminded me of that 10 year old meme video where someone 3D modeled Homura from Madoka Magica to shoot guns to the beat of Ievan Polkka: "【MMD】Go home Homura, you are drunk".

I randomly decided to watch this on a whim so I didn't expect much going into it, but I was pleasantly surprised. I love when things are not always what they seem, in this case seemingly innocent maid cafe businesses doing gang-like activities. I'm glad I didn't miss this one!

how come this only got a 7.5? it's one of the best first episodes I've ever seen... Albeit I admit it, I'm not even sure what I saw... but I loved it.

This is what Tarantino's wet dream would look like if he was more in love with maids instead of feet.

i was planning on seeing this out since i'm a PA works stan and i figured with a name like that it has to totally not be simply about maids opening shots of a yakuza ass looking car to a boss getting killed..okay maybe the rest of the show won't be that dramatic and i had a good laugh till the back of my mind started to click on wait this is going in the way i think it is right .

didn't think i would see a bunch of cute maids get murdered today like actually thought'd be for gags so the balls of them to do such a ant-otaku premise with the purest form of otaku bait is respectful

but i'm out!

Both this and Lycoris Recoil were good, even though I prefer the other with in-depth character development and grey morality combining with political themes. (Can't get away with it regardless.)

Would tune in more if the maid cafe business is running by Yakuza groups.

I watched the opening scene and went "Huh, this is like an Yakuza movie." Then I saw the ponytail cutting scene and went "This is definitely like a yakuza movie, but with maids." Then the fight scene happened and I had this open mouthed smile at the pure insanity at it all. Wrapping all of this with up with an enka song as the ED, like with '70s yakuza films? *Chef's Kiss*

I am here for all of this.

It's supposed to be a satirical dark comedy and had little to no connection with other action anime about girls armed with guns, but I barely laugh at the over-the-top kill counts and rather dive in on what will happen next.

Probably at the final episode once it's out, Nagomi will be an assassin and survivor.

No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas.

This episode had me rolling on the floor, this is exactly my type of weird humour haha.
That shooting montage was nothing short of brilliant and the song was incredibly catchy as well, I loved it!
I'm also a big fan of the OP and ED, I'll be listening to them on repeat until I can no longer stand to hear them.
Ranko is already my favourite, by far, but the other girls also seem fun.
I cannot wait to see where this goes, I hope this will keep on delivering such absurd, over the top scenes for me to laugh at and will stay action packed.
I'll be strapping in for a wild ride and I'm all here for it. I mean mafia maids??? Now that sounds like my type of anime lol.
All in all a great first episode I'd say, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

This is how you start an anime goddamnit.
Loved everything from this episode, Nagomi is cute af and Ranko is hilarious, and the opening slaps hard 🔥, already OP of the year for me lol, the animation and style is so good too, I hope they keep this energy during the entire season, I cannot wait for the next episode!

I almost can't believe this is from Cygames, I've never seen anything like this from them, finally they decided to do a "mature" and non-fantasy anime, and it is amazing so far.
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~

Good anime... i thought it was be crime chronology anime... I can get the point when Ranko Manager was killed at first and after that i know what genre it is... It reminds me about Odd Taxi and Birdie Wing also because its related with violence and crime but Akiba Maid Wars was Moe Version... Ranko was great character... If she not accompany Nagomi,Nagomi will died and the end... hahahhahaha...

Thank god I watched this after the snoozefest of Bibliophile Princess, for a second I thought I went into coma after so much static animation and cheap overbright effects.

Welp, I had a hunch this show was hidding something else in the trailers, and boy, it was nothing even close what I had in mind.

Hoping that even the initial scene draws in more peeps, specially those who probably thought, "oh this is going to be a cutsy anime with cute maids" (looking at you Gigguk).

Aside from the obviously great animation, the somber dark humor, and the ridiculous amount of strawberry kool-aid, I have to give it to the actual soundtrack, it certainly hits the theme it should be conveyed in the scenes. The tribal drums gives you this huge anticipation to a big standoff moment, the string instruments while the otaku loanshark appeared gave me the chills and the anxiety for something gruesome to happen.

In a season filled with action shonen, this might be my flagship series I'll be shilling as much as I physically can.

This struck me as similar to a psychopath trying to tell his victim a joke and being confused as to why they aren't seeing the humor...was it written by an incel, perhaps? Dropped, with prejudice.

A very weird mix of mafia warfare, dark comedy, musical & drama. Eclectic, somewhat haphazard but promising 1st episode.
Not usually the type of show I'd watch under any circumstances, but for this I'll make an exception.

Also like how the OP & ED compare and contrast in terms of tone and source of inspiration.
The OP feels like a standard, yet warped current era anime, while the ED seems to draw inspiration from 90s anime in terms of music and visual language.
