Do people actually do that when planning a surprise party? What is their train of thought?

But yeah, it's not like 4 out of the 5 episodes released conclude in the exact same way and that the mix between violence and dark humor is awfully executed. The show has been incredibly uninteresting so far but at least it seems the story will finally find a sense of direction now that the girls have "attacked" their own territory.


First of all, it's pretty much an american sitcom trope of acting cold towards the birthday guy or girl in order to create a bigger impact with the actual surprise. Don't expect it to work exactly the same way in real life (but that doesn't stop from people imitating art). Like for real, it baffles me that you can't understand such a simple concept on your own.

Secondly. How is it awfully executed? What's wrong with how these sociopathic maids that mark their own territory creating a fake gentle facade towards their customers, but act in all murderous vibe against our heroines. It's no different than something like Sweeny Todd.

"Cold"? They were mean and their words were borderline cruel. Not to mention they still had the nerve to get mad at Nagomi and Ranko for not showing up later. Having them acting distant and disinterested (like... you know, what sitcoms/cartoons usually show) would have been more fitting.

Sounds to me that you're grasping straws in order to yell hurr durr bad animu

Not really. I'm just not enjoying the anime so far. Crazy, right?
In fact, it's actually more like you acting butthurt because I don't share the same opinion you have regarding this anime. Because God forbid people having different opinions, am I right?

Another hype episode full of maids and violence..this show actually delivers on its name every single episode lol. Love how they ganged up to protect Ranko and gave her a b'day surprise. Still wondering how they got away with their acts in the last episode betraying Creatureland tho..maybe i missed smth

They do it every episode. I think it's brilliant and you're left wondering what sort of events might have led them to that point.

It was better than the previous episode that's for sure. I am hoping them slaughtering the sheep cafe is gonna kick start some sort of plot. I am interested in knowing what Ranko's true goals are and how did she became so badass. Let's hope the future episodes answer some of these questions.

Overall episode rating:-4/5

Happy birthday, Ranko! Maid is not a number, it's a state of mind.

Also her song and dance cements her as best girl! Not that she wasn't already, this just made her better than best

This was the first episode that was actually enjoyable for me. Finally there is some story and not just some bland or disagreable characters killing some random stuff. Character Development was also present for the first time, with both the two Mcs and the Villain.

It's very late though and I fear it goes similar to Warau Arsnotoria Sun, with Plot being hinted in the middle of the season, to then never develop.

Hi guys,

Got some questions regarding the episode:
- Minute 3:07. That's a matrix printed paper, right? Good old times.
- Minute 4:50: Chinchirorin. Even when we know it's about a game with dices, I think what Nagomi heards is "Chinchin" like "Ochinchin" or something?
- Minute 14:43: "Gotcha person, let's pull this off"? In my language translation, they said something different. Even so, what does this mean? Sorry for the ignorance.
- Minute 15:44: So she was in jail? I think that was already clear from episode 2, I think, but I'm not sure.
- Minute 22:13: Ranko is smiling?

From japanese she says " びっくり(bikkuri)人間(ningen)大成功(daiseikō)". Bikkuri means surprise, Ningen means human and Daiseikō means huge success. By context it means something like "Her surprise will be a huge success" (talking about how they would pull off her birthday celebration).

My God this show is so entertaining even after repeating basically the same formula for 5 straight episodes.

For a second, I thought the one shooting that birthday bitch at the end was Nagomi and I was already going crazy. Specially because it would happen slight after seeing that Ranko was just like Nagomi when she was younger.

I can totally see Nagomi shooting someone for the first time to protect Ranko at last the episode or something.

I actually cried when Ranko was getting her celebration. I mean, she doesn't show it in her face, but you know she must have been really happy and her performance was killer by her standards! Gosh I actually kinda love these girls. ;_; And like yo, bless 36 year old maids. This and Eternal Boys really got me inspired. ;___;;

My liking for Akiba Maid War was waning after the first few episodes. But the efforts of the group to give Ranko a birthday party touched my heart. Wiping out the Maid Sheep and stealing their money sealed the deal.

What started as a sad ep looped around to a happy end. The crew secretly saving funs for a cake for Ranko was rlly nice, Nagomi trying her best to prepare for Ranko's birthday rlly shows how much of a family they are at the cafe. Even if Nagomi got extra trauma, Nagomi and Ranko are becoming an iconic duo, old vetern maid and a newbie maid theme.

Okachimachi coming in clutch by signalling the gang where Ranko and Nagomi were. Kinda funny how the gang was half pissed cus the Sheep café kidnapped their members, and half pissed cus they had to eat been sprouts for a month to afford the cake that Ranko is missing for. Yeh the Head Sheep Maid rlly pissed me off so i was happy to see her get folded, surprised it was by Yumechi but her response was valid and has me respecting her more.

Ending was fire, Ranko's singing was about as monotone as i'd expected but honestly it's what made me love it even more. I rlly didn't expect her to sing a full song but i'm thankful i'm alive to hear it. Happy birthday Ranko.

Thank goodness they were only drowning in tomato juice instead of blood. Really that barely makes anything better.

The lamb reminds me of the time my Rottie fell into the pool and did the exact same thing.
