Mixed Feelings
Ok, my review doesn't only pertain to this season 2 of this anime, instead it also extend to its season 1, OVAs and it's special episodes as well. So let's get down to business:


Story: fair 6

Even if the plots only focuses on comedy, ecchi, sci-fi and drama the 3 genre's is enough to carry this anime through. Its other genre like harem, isn't much because even though this anime has a harem genre, it is not a true harem since the muchacho (male lead) only has feelings for the chiquita (female lead), the psychological genre part however is merely trivial to the overall anime.

Art: poor 3

What can I say, I really don't like the water color based paints that composes the art form of this anime.

Sound: poor 3

I just hate the opening and ending theme of this anime.

Character: fair 6

Well, I’d say that there are some characters here that really fit the part, but there are some who should have had some bigger part and not just regulated into bit roles, but then their roles have gone way beyond as to what their description said like:

Mahoro Andou- ok, so she’s an android, but the way she was portray doesn’t make her one, instead she kinda looks like “Super girl” in a maid costume. Ok, so let’s put it this way, the author “Bunjuro Nakayama” thought he did made a good character out of her, but, he can’t seem to differentiae between a “Cyborg” and an “Android,” though both can be referred to as moving biped machines with humanlike features they are totally different, a cyborg is a “Cybernetic Organism” simply, it is part human or someone who was once human and integrated into a machine. Now, a cyborg would require 2 means of obtaining energy, first it’ll require human food to maintain it’s human part’s nutrition and 2nd it require a direct source of energy from a electronic charging apparatus for it’s mechanical fuction, also a cyborg has gender distinction, while an android doesn’t, in fact an “android” is 100% machine, it is neither a he or a she, unlike an android it only requires one source for power and it is usually direct from a charging apparatus. When it comes to there “Artificial Intelligence” and “Emotional Intelligences” androids are incapable of such emotions and it’s intelligence rely on it’s stored data, while a cyborg……well, it depends as to what purpose they were created or modified for and frankly that’s a grey matter. If we’re to analyze Mahoro, I’d say that she’s neither android nor cyborg. Let’s not forget that her organization VESPER did mentioned that SAINT technology was use in creating her so this make her a “Synthetically Enhance Humanoid,” which means that she has humanlike features, but possesses superhuman abilities, she’s not only intelligent, but she capable of having human emotions. However the technology use to create her also has a downside which is a limited life span.

Suguru Misato- I’m puzzled as to how in the final episode of this anime as was he still manages to survived a stab in the heart from a light saber, when he is a human? And I do wonder as if was able to find out as to what really happen to his father, I kinda find it funny with the awkward situations were he has to find a way to hide his porn stash from Mahoro and the fan service thing that involves his math teacher Saori Shikijo. I also felt a kind of sympathy for him at the 13th episode when Mahoro has to break her promise to be with him forever in order to save him.

Minawa Andou- Geez, I really to know what to say about this character, but she kinda useless, but I do adore her relationship with one of Misato’s friend Hamaguchi, but I hate that her role is that of a clumsy cyborg living and working as a maid for the Suguru household.

Slash- I would never understand why the author of this anime/manga has to make him into a big black talking cat.

Saori Shikijo- I would probably describe her as the main ecchi in this anime/manga, though I find it her irritating that she’s freeloading in Suguru’s house, I do find her hot and cute especially in her naked glory. Though she does have some fantasies involving Suguru, but it is clear that she only wants to pop Suguru's cherries but doesn’t wanna have any relationship with him except to freeload on food and to use his bath.

Miyuki Sakura – According to info, she’s Misato’s childhood friend, but, unlike any childhood friend, she doesn’t seem to compete for Misato’s affection, in fact none of the other girls were competing for the latter’s affectionor at least in the anime.

Rin Todoriki – Info states that she’s into martial arts, but in this anime I’ve never saw her get some actions except get into some awkward fanservice, and just like Miyuki, she doesn’t seem to have any romantic interest with Suguru.

Chizuko Oe – Another one of Suguru’s friends and a certify foodie, but I really wonder as to why the author of this anime didn’t made a funny concept to make her look fat.

Toshiya Hamaguchi and Kiyomi Kawahara – 2 of Suguru friend with a penchant for porn. In my opinion they’ll be funnier if there were scene where they peek at a girl’s locker.

And the rest like Toh Ryuga and Feldrance they’re the antagonist and in this anime and somebody has to be one, except for Toh, who did portrayed as an enemy at first and an ally next,




Enjoyment: fair 6

This anime isn't much, but to be honest it is the fanservice that attracted me into it at the first place, however I felt touch on the last 3 episode of this season 2 when the chiquita has to leave the mucahcho in order to save him at the cost of her remaining lives and I do mean "Lives" since she still has 200 something days before she shuts down.

Overall: fair 6

Overall, even though this whole series of animes from season 1 to season 2 up the OVAs and specials, this anime is something to be given a benefit of a doubt, sure, there were some short comings but the bond that exist between the chiquita (female lead) and the muchacho (male lead) makes up for it couple with some funny fanservice. However, the problem with this overall anime is that it has a lot of special episodes and OVAs that could have be more appropriate if the author could just integrate in a regular episode like the 2 episode OVA “Mahoromatic: Tadaima Okari” were it should have been integrated in this second season instead of being a separate series.
