Preliminary (3/11 eps)
--- 6 episodes in. ---
There is one word that sums up everything that has happened on the show thus far, and that word is DISAPPOINTMENT. Even with the casts and shows that the studios have produced, this show just isn't the one. As a viewer, I literally have 0 emotional investment in the show's main casts, and I don't think I ever will given how unfunny and unamusing the characters are. To be honest, as someone who enjoys SoLs and even pure SoLs, the way the story is going, this show isn't even worth watching. Oh, and it'd be funny and amusing if someone actually makes an Ayashi Counter for whenever any of the casts says that word. AYASHI!!!

To me, this show is just a cheap Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid knockoff. Why is this the case, you may wonder? Yuuri is basically Bocchan since both of them were left behind in the mansion, and both of them have a maid to come in and support them, which for this show is Lilith. Bocchan from Shinigami Bocchan is clearly the superior version of the two, as he is more charismatic, whereas Yuuri is more obstinate and direct, to the point where he'd blurt out his feelings to Lilith all the time and would say everything Lilith has done for him is suspicious ("Ayashi"), which is annoying when you constantly hear the same word being blurted out. Lilith, on the other hand, would always blush despite having a teasing personality, which seems odd and doesn't fit her character, so the show should go for one or the other rather than both. We don't even know who Lilith is or what her background is because she appeared out of nowhere and wanted to work for Yuuri, which puzzled me since a simple background introduction would have been far better than leaving viewers in the dark as to why she suddenly appeared and wanted to work for Yuuri without any form of compensation. So far there hasn't been much of a plot to speak of, as all that can be seen is the constant back and forth teasing and blushing, with little else going on. Even Yuuri and Lilith's wholesome relationship on the show can't save the show from its bad chemistry since the chemistry between the characters doesn't even seem natural and in a sense seems forced, which really hinders the emotional investment part of its viewers.

Again, as someone who enjoys SoLs, I don't recommend Saikin Yatotta Maid ga Ayashii as there are far better shows airing this season, both in the SoL category and not, and this show should not be your top priority. I don't even know how this show can improve from the state it is now.
