Preliminary (2/12 eps)
Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru

This is a review based on first and second episode only.

Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru is a simple anime that is revolved around a rather odd maid cafe and it's employees. In the first two episodes there are hints of romance but its more about working at a cafe more than anything else. It would be fitted in the "slice of life" genre. It attempts to be so realistic they even have a not-so-pleasing-to-the-eyes friend to the two main characters. When I first saw this character I thought it was a joke but she made it to another scene so I'm guessing she's permanent. This anime is okay for me. I suspect I would enjoy it more if I had experience in being a waitress. I laughed but I would probably laugh more if not harder if I could relate.

The beginning theme song is a cheesy jazz attempt to be broadway ( I guess)... I really don't know how to categorize the beginning theme. The end theme song is not-so-interesting Rock. Neither of them are unbearable but I still fast forward until I get to the story. They also play music during the dialogue, it's hardly noticeable and not annoying so that's a plus.

In short:

Story: 6/10 so far. The first episode really didn't get me interested in watching the next one but somehow the second one made me curious.

Art: 6/10 Nothing spectacular but not horrible at the least.

Character: 6/10 They don't have that many main characters so far but at least you can relate to one supporting if you are ugly (lol).

Enjoyment: 6/10 I didn't get overjoyed when watching it but I think if I was working in a restaurant (esp. a mom and pop one I would enjoy it more).

Overall: 6. It's not a bad anime but I think one would enjoy it more if they could relate. It has it's comedy and chance of romance but I still won't rush to remind myself to watch it.

I would watch this with someone else who wants to watch it or has it but I most likely won't watch it again unless I get an odd urge to. When it comes to recommendation I would probably recommend this to someone who works in the food industry and enjoys slice-of-life anime (geared towards females).
