Damn, Ranko's got some attitude..not the easy type to be friends with.

However, I do admire her work ethnic. Out of all the maids, she's the one who seems to take the most risks to get money. Probably my favorite episode so far. Ranko is such a badass boxer.

Even though Ton Tokoton always has a problem with money, it still got new members. lmao
Being a maid is very tough. You need able to do everything, even boxing.

Wow the new Russian maid character is actually voiced by real Russian by the name Jenya. Suddenly hearing Russian was pretty weird. Anyway this anime is already weird... I don't know what direction the anime is heading...

Alright, we've got a new maid, and she's Russian! next episode maids invade a country? Too few murders in this episode compared to the previous ones lol, still very enjoyable, loved it. Betting organs was a funny idea

This episode, Akiba Maid War goes full-ham Ashita no Joe!

Business goes on like usual, and Ranko has a rub-off with a foreigner who doesn't appreciate her being the adverse of what a maid should be. Another trip to a maid cafe, and this ain't all Fluffy and Sweet as it presents a boxing arena where their shameless manager rigged themselves up for loss just to get compensation and get by. Despite the uncontested competition, Ranko is the contested One Punch Ranko to win the matches, since she has shown her hand.

True enough, the Russian maid (Zoya) that they met earlier is her rival (with a real Russian VA to back it up), and betting organs as collateral sounds illicit, but anything is possible in this world as Ranko holds up against Zoya's punches, refusing to lose one bit. It's only when Ranko does go all-out that Zoya saw her own life flash before her very eyes, from Russia to Japan and being bred as a maid.

Ashita no Maid is already looking great with Ranko vs. Zoya, and selling organs while gaining back money from sponsors' collateral, it's an equal. Plus Zoya, Oinky Doink Cafe is already looking even better.

The inclusion of the panda Okachimachi is still hilarious, IDK why but it is lols.

This anime isn't getting any better, it might be even so bad that it's good for the comedy.
Despite having said that seeing that arrogant creep being shot was strangely satisfying especially how he behaved with that doll, he had it coming.

Of course the white hair girl is gonna be Russian, yep totally didn't see that coming 😁

And I found that the Manager becomes more funny, and some of you might found it annoying or whatever. But at the end, I guess this is a character's designer W or success, hats for him👏

That was quite decent Russian from VA. "Cheburashka" got me laughing tho
Edit: Apparently VA is russian, but she got a bit of an accent that got me confused

Did they got an actual Russian voice actor or something?

And please I don't want to call this underrated, why isn't this getting more popular? Is it missing the Yuri like my Twitter feed is full of Gundam Witch Mercury ships like LycoReco?

I guessed the voice of Zoya being Jenya just like this T-34-85 commander named Klara from Girls und Panzer. I have been saying that her Russian pronunciation is good and it happened to be Jenya herself.

In this episode of Ashita no Joe, I mean Ashita no Maid. Ranko fighting Zoya.

I now wonder who will be the best maid at the end of the season, Ranko or Zoya.

Ahhh so zoya is the girl with her face covered in the OP.

That’s so cool that they got an actual Russian person to voice her. Really enhances the immersion and made a big difference. Wish studios did that more often. Her Japanese is awesome as well.

Episode itself was fun and wild as we’ve all come to expect and love, the manager and Ranko continue to be my fave characters lol. Hedging your bets with your organs is CRAZY tho. Can’t wait for next week, continues to be one of the best shows this season.

This series is pure crazy stuff, from a full blown shootout to casino and now MMA lmao. Ranko being that star every single time though.

Russians joining the maid bandwagon too.. no surprises this a juggernaut industry in japan.

The eye-patch manager is really the best xD Ranko is as violent as ever during that boxing match against the russian maid, but they got lucky in the end and didn't lose their organs, great that the Russian maid is joining them, this is a fun addition to the main group

Nice Ashita no Joe references with the signature cross-counter scene. Nagomi cheering for Ranko was wholesome. Zoya's russian accent is on point I like it, and as usual Manager is annoyingly funny this episode didn't expect her to get butt naked.

But the most important question I have was did the two really sold their organs only to get stitched back to them???

Now I'm curious who's person behind Okachimachi.

This show continues to punch above its weight class. I don't think any episode will have the insane energy of the shot out/musical number form the first, but it continues to be an entertaining ride, none the less.

Also, the manager is great. "Why you are naked?" made me laugh out loud.

The murder count was a lot less in this episode, but with the boxing action that we got here, I felt more satisfied, honestly. =)

Renko is formidable, but it was nice to see another character that could go toe-to-toe with her in the ring. The Russian maid (voiced by a Russian VA) had some good skills herself, but she couldn't match Renko when she decided to go all out. It was nice to see both of them having respect for each other during their 12 round fight. Animation quality for the fight was very good, too.

The result of their actions had led to Zoya joining in the pigsty maid cafe. I look forward to seeing how she'll work together with Renko and the others in the coming episodes.

What a homage to Ashita no Joe and Dezaki (Postcard Memories) Tenchou's Danpei impression was hilarious and of course they had to include the obligatory and iconic just pure white ashes reference.

Whether Tenchou is sucking on a gun

- functions as human ashtray
- groveling naked
- pukes

she never fails to put on a pitiful sight. Best girl title is shared between her and Ranko. I pray that she can fulfill her dream and may she have a deluxe reverse harem.

Another crazy episode focussing on underground maid boxing. The premise and humor of this series is fucking awesome. The organ gags cracked me up too hahaha.

RIP Ms. Taira lmao (she had it coming) and welcome Zoya(nice job with the seiyuu)

When it comes to maids, battles, comedy, some serious underlay shit going on in the underworld. There is no other show like this (Akiba's Trip defo does not count, but also an awesome show!) . I don't mind if anyone can say there is, Ill go watch that bad boy as well. But this right here is the shit. Love it, its bad ass with a wild story and something I've not seen before.

This anime is too wild to be a maid anime, it averages at least 1 kill every 10 minutes.
Was that a Takamura v Hawk reference? (I know it's a common counter in boxing)

Undoubtedly, this show has lost a bit of its initial charm, with its disoriented and over the top story, that’s losing its insanity. I still find decent enjoyment from it though, but it’s not going to be easy to top the first episode, and I doubt that any episode can top that one to be honest. That said, not a bad episode today.

Russian maid is as Russian as it gets. She does have a minor Japanese accent complemented with slight Russian accent on her Japanese. Also grammar and vocabulary on Russian lines were flawless.

Indeed, I'm a Russian speaker and as i was watching this episode i thought i was hearing things when Zoya was having flashbacks only to realize that she was actually speaking Russian, i was amazed over how fluent it sounded and so i rushed to the MAL page to see the VA and surprisingly enough the VA was Russian!
She has also Voiced in Girls Und Panzer but i forgot about that.
I think this episode was the most eventful so far.

Ranko - Best girl, maid, fighter and character in this whole weird ass series.

Another OK episode. Seeing maids beating the shit out of each other sure was amusing and all that but the lack of proper direction is starting to bother me.
