However, I have resolved this time not to throw away anything or give any more introductions, but to start this review immediately.
The plot is pretty much as described: A 'demonic' president of a previously all boys school works as a maid for a part time job. However one day a guy from her school finds out her secret.... and the old story continues. I need not to mentioned that this is an extremely old anime plot (but since the anime it self is almost 10 years old it kinda makes sense) and is in no way original.
Next up is the pacing; to put it bluntly it is horrible. The first six episodes show how Usui's affection develops. Then the next nineteen waste your time- showing rivals and eliminating them really quickly etc. Then suddenly {spoiler} in the last episode the heroines' affection is shown.
Nevertheless, I would be lying if I said I did not enjoy it though, for despite its being old, the story is an amusing one.
Art and sound are not really worth mentioning- not surprisingly excellent and not painfully terrible.
Just like the story, there is probably nothing new about the characters - but I will try to quickly
describe some of them and leave it for you to judge their originality.
Usui Takumi- He is so perfect that I sometimes find it irritating. (I know it is weird but there is no point in watching an anime where the MC is perfect.)
Ayuzawa Misaki- Even the word 'tsundere' feels somewhat wrong to use for this girl. She is violent (with boys), and she is not exactly clear about her feelings. So yeah: sexist, tsundere.
Hyoudou Aoi- This character is not really shown in the show well enough. It is like he is there to fill up th episode time and has no significant role in Maid-sama whatsoever.
Next up are the three guys (whose names I dismember)- they are bullies in the earlier part of the show and then become semi-perverts (the word semi is only out of politeness) in the latter part.
So much for anyone who wishes to argue about the character's originality.
Now anybody reading this might come to the erroneous conclusion that I did not enjoy this anime. I did. I enjoyed it immensely. The beautiful ending that ruins a lot of anime's is probably what saved this one. The ending is so satisfying that if I did not fill a sense of injustice in doing so I would have rated this a ten.
Should you watch it? Definitely. It is not the best out there, but I promise you will not regret it.
Now I will pour out my coffee for it has cooled down, but instead of closing this website, I shall go and add 'Kaichou wa Maid-sama' manga to my "Plan to read" list for there is almost no hope of a season 2...
