Being a maid is very tough. You need able to do everything, even boxing.

I wanted boxing but women MMA is popular even in Japan.

This was a fun episode but the wish the animation was better. It was a nice blend of MMA with Yakuza-inspired fight scenes and animation. I do want them to just win for once instead of this silly derp stuff that happens. Glad we got a Russian girl joining the fun at least.

You know, Jenya is in the industry from god knows how long ago. It is just that she rarelly gets actual prominient roles and often just works as a consultant or voices extras.

Thanks for sharing the video!

Another great episode! I love the new Russian maid. I wonder if the va is actually Russian? Once again Ranko best maid! also love how they can just communicate telepathically. Furthermore, the panda taking the manager away was great. This is so far one of the most enjoyable anime this season

I'm starting to think that deep down the manager might have acute masochistic tendencies.

I love that for once a foreigner character is voiced by a real foreigner. How many times they wouldn't try to find one even for minor roles.

Wasn't expecting a new hire. But I guess it makes sense her boss is dead now. Nice to see a more humane side of Ranko.

Almost some theorized Zoya is Okachimachi or in my case the chief maid who got shot down but survived. In reality, she is really the new addition to Oinky Doink and the equal opposite of Ranko, since she can pull off the same stunt as Yumechi.

Nagomi acting like a worrisome daughter towards stern mama Ranko and now she gains another maternal figure after the match.

By far, the best episode of this show, however there's 9 episodes to go...what is left to them? We cannot proceed on the intense, climatic battle against the final boss after all.😅

In addition to the (pretty clear) Ashita No Joe references, maybe I saw a little bit of a Lock Stock reference there, with how the situation resolved itself.

Tremenda locura la del episodio mi cerebro tiene que procesar porque esta locura del combate de Ranko vs. Zoya tremenda epicidad animación que supera la de cualquier anime de boxeo diría yo xd, porque en sí este anime no es de boxeo, pero trae de toda las categorías y se olvida de lo que realmente quiere traer xd, pero de todas maneras eso no le quita lo épico y divertido de este anime.

Espero y se le dé la oportunidad a Zoya de ser feliz con la compañía de sus nuevas amigas Maid

The Ashita no Joe reference brought a smile to my old otaku heart...the painting style accent pieces really brought it all together.

The ever expanding absurdity of the Akiba maid underworld is awesome, as is the ridiculous scenarios these girls keep finding themselves in.

I predict that this show will be in the top 10 of a future "anime of the decade" list!

Damn that was good! The fast pace, the high adrenaline, the chaos and every cliché from every western & gangster movie ever made, combine to one heady brew of pure entertainment. This is easily my favorite show of the season.

Holy fuck, Godbless this show man lmao. We got gambling, now we got underground fight club. Honestly thought the last episode was just so so, but we back to form now, this episode was glorious.

This shameless Manager lmao, she's fucking great. Manager getting abused by pretty much everyone is hilarious. Some people might not like her, but hey, we wouldn't be getting into all these crazy situations without her.

I like how in this world, Maids are just normally considered to be violent lmao, well, I guess at least in Akiba.

That fight was amazing and I am pretty sure some of the shots during the fight are straight up references to something, Ashita no Joe probably, not sure, haven't watched it.

Ranko accidentally saving their asses though. LET'S GO! Russian Maid, so Zoya was the shaded out Maid in the opening. Now we got a brawler in the party. Really looking forward to the next episode, don't even know what to fucking expect.

Wow, that Russian was really good, no wonder VA turned out to be Russian as well, it's really nice to hear authentic sounding language in anime.

As for the episode, well, I kinda see the pattern here, I guess they'll end up doing some crazy shit each time with Ranko saving the day. But Zoya seems cool too. That tearjerker monologue though. And telepathic conversation with Ranko, huh. But no worries, they both can be cute.

I wonder if there'll be more to the story, clearly Ranko has some revenge agenda of her own judging from the opening of the first episode. With her skills though, it shouldn't really be a problem for her. Unless there's something super big involved.

I wonder what anime they're spoofing in this episode? It's REALLY subtle!

Sadly, neither of my offline buddies who were watching with me understood any of these jokes. Yet the fansubs did decide to explain who Cheburashka is for some reason. I guess they just assumed everyone would get the Ashita no Joe jokes?

This is such a strange show, but it somehow manages to make it all work.
A crazy underground boxing ring between maids...sure, that sounds like something that would make sense here.
A new maid is brought onto the team who is also extremely good at fighting.
Seems like she might be a friend of Ranko's now after they duked it out.

I love how we suddenly see the manager naked and then it turns out no one asked her to do it lmao. She was so bad that even the panda had to intervene and take her out of the ring.

Manager is such a scumbag and the gyaru is such an idiot. Really, loaning money with your organs as collateral? "Would you take a stomach and lung combo?" lol.

The fight was awesome. Ranko going for the hammerfists after the KO punch was unexpected but I mean, this is MMA so the fight isn't over until the ref stops it. Nagomi's reaction though xD.

And so we finally have our last maid, Zoya is pretty cute.

Man, I love how you never know what to expect from this show but it's always so much fun. My unexpectedly favorite show of the season so far.

The more you watch it, more you realise that you'll be proud that you watched it. This is series is on of my most favorite series this month. I've read manga for few anime. So many good anime has been released this month that each anime could become my anime of the month if they were released separately.
This episode and previous epiosde just give that feel of proud fap xD
I am repeating myself but I do believe it firmly.

I've been enjoying watching this anime and this episode is no exception. If it wasn't for their crazy manager these maids certainly wouldn't find themselves in these situations that's for sure. The fight between Zoya and Ranko was great but I'm glad that they let bygones be bygones by the end of the episode. I look forward to watching them work together and seeing what other compromising situations their manager gets them in.
