Glad to see you are enjoying this anime too.


It's so nuts, I can't help but be entertained.


Yeah it's absurd yet also somehow sincere. I like the genuine stakes in the story.

Agreed. Even among the absurdity, there are well-defined stakes and contrasting individual ideals on what it means to be an Akiba maid.

The pearl. I knew neither of them could go through with it and they both wanted happiness, but sadness had to happen to keep Ranko a maid. Ranko's glare of vengeance. Can't wait to see how this unfolds. This hit on so many levels for me. Like the ending of KITE. Happiness is so fleeting in this maid world.

I felt bad for Ranko so much. She deserves the entire world. We also find out the identity of Panda and that she's the one who killed the old maid. Also, the guy who was going to be with Ranko. It was a depressing episode.

Chotto f-ing matte... the twist of the master's change of heart could be seen miles away, but why make it a reality. I mean I know it was inevitable that Ranko couldn't be taken out of the picture since the story basically started with her background, but at least show us the vision of a happy ending for her. Ah... I guess only in our minds then. Just denial.

The most brilliantly painful part was at the end, showing how Ranko didn't take the gun after all. Perhaps by her character, the thoughts could've been along the lines: "If there's fate for my happiness, I'll give it an opening, but if I do, I'll need to live with the choice and accept the end of being a maid either way".

Good anime :b

There's no happines to be had in Akiba that's for sure but, I rather feel bad for Okachimachi, both times she killed the important person to Ranko, and both times she's under the wrong impression.

This is the best episode so far since episode 3 a good Ranko character development hopefully it will stay consistent until the end.

One thing that doesn't add up was how Nagi was able to order Okachimachi to kill Michiyo when both were from the same rival cafe.

Wow, just tragedy stacked on top of tragedy this episode. There is no way to escape from underworld maids' world except through death, and this show knows the rules all too well. I hope Nagomi can see a new future for maids that is not based on violence. The last thing I want to see is Ranko dying in her arms, but I'm afraid that's where this will all end.

Welp, now I feel even worse for Ranko.
It looked like things might finally be going her way, only for it to play out like this.
Going by how this series has done certain parts, I knew that it wasn't going to end well.
But that doesn't mean it was a bad thing, in fact, going like this I'm hoping it will somehow lead into a good conclusion.

Panda was the girl from the first episode... holy shit.

Oh my god, this has to be the best episode in terms of narrative storytelling.

heartbreaking after that post credit scene...
NOOOOOO....

having Aya Hirano and Junichi Suwabe in this episode was such a great casting.

Así que el panda era la chica que asesino a la antigua jefa de Ranko. Al final fue una chica que intento escalar en la cima del mundo de las maids, pero fue traicionada. No la culpo por haber matado al pretendiente de Ranko porque nadie puede imaginar que un asesino dice la verdad. Pobre Ranko. Toda su vida fue ser maid, y por un momento parecía que tendría felicidad al escapar de esa vida, pero no pudo ser. Ahora ella ira por el pez gordo. La jefa de Kedamono Rando.

Death flags were there right from the very first second, even though they did try to induce a surprising love tale this episode. A close call first but indeed an actual death right towards the end.

No point in blaming panda, as anyone should've done the same after witnessing something similar unfolding for a next person. Though Ranko deserves happiness.

Bruh I didn't care much for Suehiro until this episode and now I feel really sad for him. With the ring, he genuinely did have interest in Ranko and was willing to go against orders to kill her.

The OP has a part that says love is a no-no so that should have been a red flag.

Can we talk about how good looking Okachimachi is under the panda suit?

so that's how Nagi rose to power, i guess she really wanted to get rid of Ranko for good despite their past and now we know why she wants to put Oinky Doinky down since that was the maid café where they had worked for in the past and was really big at the time. The Maid Hitman seemed to really have fallen for Ranko, too bad he died

This really is like a Yakuza game. From the plot starting off with the main character leaving prison, to finding out Ranko's sister betrayed her, with all the ridiculousness and heart-wrenching moments.

Sad that things couldn't work out between Ranko and Suehiro who even bought a ring for her (aftercredits) but I also respect Ranko's mature reaction of letting Panda live despite killing two people she showed love towards.

ooh pearl chat a pun that turns out foreshadowing.
Chief being wingwoman for all the wrong reasons lol.
Sweet date with a classic yakuza feel. Sun hat flying by, the night scenery, man Suehiro's so smooth.
!?Big reveal Panda talks. wait the bigger reveal are Panda & Suehiro backstory. Surprised Panda didnt end him during his cafe visits. Also surprise he's been seen "at work" but never arrested.
lol Hirano now voiced 2 "pandas."
oof the tragedy here.
Nice animation detail how rain drop made Ranko's eye twitch a bit.

Great. I think Ranko is the best character. The ambiguity of what the assassin really intends. Wondering what Ranko is thinking behind her stern facade. All building up to a rainy night meeting at the station in the rain.
I did not know how it would play out. But someone is going to die.

wtf why is this episode so good, even Panda's real identity reveal got foreshadowed by Ranko and Suehiro chemistry.

The multiple red herrings of Ranko's deathflag and then with her seemingly going to kill Suehiro only to be subaverted by her not doing so alongside Suehiro's actually going to propose to her. God they know how to pull out the feels
