Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru!

Japan loves their maids and it’s not too hard to see why. In their world, maids are much more than just eye candy but portrayed as individuals who treats others with respect, dignity, and care. In the Western world, people will probably see maids differently. Watching Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru brings out an absurd side of the maid culture that I didn’t realize I wanted. Also known as “Our Maid is Way too Annoying”, the show doesn’t intend to hide its intentions from the very start. The first few episodes immediately sets off some red flags as we meet Tsubame Kaomi. She’s a former JSDFfighter pilot and now serves a young girl named Misha Takanashi. In no less than a single episode, we discover Tsubame’s unhealthy obsession towards Misha. At every chance, she tries to initiate some intimate moment between them. The teases ranges from sneaking into baths, proposing marriage, and always trying to be at the same place. It’s the type of humor that can make or break for the viewers. Because let’s face it, this show’s plot is more of a deconstruction of the maid culture. In real life, maids wouldn’t ever behave in the way that Tsubame does. However, this anime made it clear that Tsubame genuinely cares about Misha’s well-being. From many instances, she comes to her aid when the young girl needs it the most. On the other hand, Misha begins to accept Tsubame more and more despite responding in a tsundere fashion. I should point out that Tsubame definitely leaves hair-raising moments for Misha and it’s not easy to accept her as a maid. Tsubame’s actions speaks louder than words whenever she shows affection towards her. This also extends to another character later on in the show named Midori. The catch is that Midori’s affections are pointed at Tsubame while the latter seems indifferent about them. Amusement ensues. Yet despite the reception, this anime can be entertaining to watch when you get attached to the character chemistry between Misha and Tsubame. That is, you’d have to accept them as a pair from the start. There’s no overwhelming character development for either character but it’s shown that they grow to care more and more about each other with every passing episode. There’s also a variety of humorous gags used as comedy stands out as one of the main selling points. It’s pretty cartoonish most of the times that even feels like black comedy. I’m not going to lie, Tsubame’s obsession sometimes borderlines on pedophilic tendencies. Although the show doesn’t really step foot into such category, some of the humor can really be exaggerated. On the other hand, you could definitely watch this show with the intention of absorbing the humor. A lot of it is played for laughs that does what it intends to do: show the audience a different side of maid behavior in Japan. The show is just so damn playful that it’s impossible not to laugh once or twice every episode. While the plot feels almost nonexistent, there’s some actual characterization with the main characters. The background stories of Tsubame and Midori are explored in details that makes us understand where they came from. The same can be applied to Misha although it’s shown in less vivid details. But honestly, don’t jump into this show with the intention of some interesting plot. The storytelling is mediocre at best and a poorly executed joke at worst. It’s the type of plot that adheres to comedic misadventures with almost every episode being a story of its own. This even extends to Misha’s life at school as she hangs out with her friends. Self-proclaimed rival Yui Morikawa also brings in some oddball drama based on her own perceptions. But seriously, don’t try to invest yourself into this show’s plot. Doga Kobo’s track record with slice of life content have relatively been regarded as safe and fluffy. Some of their anime also associates with shoujo-ai and it’s not hard witness those moments. This show actually jumps a bit over itself compared to their other works so I was surprised they would take such a project. The 4-koma itself also contains the absurd humor. Not to mention, the character designs are portrayed with care to make the maids look larger than life. Tsubame is a character that no one can take eyes off of whether it’s her personality, stylish maid outfit, or having a ripped body that few can match. This is a sharp contrast to Misha who wants to be as normal as possible as a child. On most parts, the show maintains a balanced art style although the comedy segments can go over the top at times. Character expressions often jumps overboard and the easiest finger to point at is Tsubame. Her affections are shown through the way she blushes and expressing her undying love in the most absurd of ways. The same can be applied to Midori towards Tsubame so you’d better get used to it. I should also point out that Tsubame’s VA did a flawless job at portraying her character. Sure, she’s not a realistic maid to accept but one that definitely gets the job done when it comes to selling her personality. It’s not an easy show to recommend but that’s ok. When I first decided to watch this series, I had no intention of expecting anything groundbreaking considering its premise and style. It took me perhaps more than half the show to truly accept what this series is capable of. Don’t get me wrong though. Once I embraced the humor, it became a show that I didn’t realize I wanted. This all depends on how you commit to this series as you can easily quote a line or two after watching. But for me, I want to watch more annoying maids doing annoying things.

This is a show about a pedophile. There's absolutely no debate about that fact, but I suppose there could be discussion on whether UzaMaid actually promotes pedophilia or not; in my opinion, it strays over the line that separates "protected" media (ie, media that displays immoral things objectively or simply for entertainment) from "WTF is this icky crap" (ie, media that glorifies the immoral/illegal/disgusting). In point of fact, the Maid in question says well over a dozen times that she isn't attracted to any girl who has had her first period. This is also shown in flashbacks at least twice. In every episode she alsodoes illegal and morally dubious (at BEST) actions, such as sneaking into the bath of an 8-year-old, recording her sleeping, stalking her at school, rubbing her underwear, stealing clothes, collecting her hair, etc etc and so on. So, pedophile. I actually felt dirty watching UzaMaid at times, because every episode had a couple sequences that were just so...wrong. And not in a naughty way: I mean dirty in the way you feel after you accidentally pick off a mushy scab in the shower and it gets stuck under your fingernail. So why did I finish the show? Two reasons: the first is that I adore Doga Kobo to the point half my favorites list are productions by them. It's even better because I didn't realize they were behind all those anime until I accidentally noticed this about a week ago (which is why I began UzaMaid in the first place..."it must be good, right!?") The second is that UzaMaid has two underlying strands that are IMMENSELY compelling: very good situational humor and a heartrending dramatic subplot that rui--ahem, is portrayed in the last three episodes. If some fan were to remove all the pedo scenes this would be a fantastic anime. UzaMaid could E A S I L Y have stood on its own merits without all the fucking nasty shit Kamoi gets up to. Kamoi herself is a unique character; she's a military veteran who's totally jacked but also looks great in a maid outfit. She's smart, athletic, looks good, and has shockingly-deep backstory. The loli around whom Kamoi helicopters is animated well, voiced better, and has a strong enough personality to carry the series herself. All the supports are great too! It's actually heartbreaking, unironically. Like, who is UzaMaid supposed to appeal to? Normies will be utterly revolted by the pedophilia. Studio fans like me will hopefully be able to pretend that stuff isn't there and enjoy what's left, but will be wondering why it exists in the first place. And the third group, well, pedos don't get to have an opinion because monsters aren't people. So it's GOT to be that UzaMaid exists only to appeal to those subhumans, in my opinion, which means it's a piece of shit not worth watching even if you love Doga Kobo.

At first looking at this anime, i thought it was another generic maid genre anime with bit of comedy added to it. Boy i was proven wrong. So what do you get when you put in a introvert shut in Russian Loli and a hardcore Military retired Maid with a ripped body (and i mean really ripped) who is a hardcore lolicon together? A total Blast of slap stick comedy filled with lolicon moments and scenarios and i mean in a really enjoyable way including good touching and emotional moments in between. The Show basically revolves around Misha (the loli) who has started being a shutin and introvert due to her mothers recent demise and given upon a normal life. As her father yasuhiro is mostly busy with work and wants someone to take care of the house and Misha, he hires for help, and enters our Lady Tsubame the ex-military officer who applies as a maid and damn she is the very definition of lolicon, assaulting on Misha everyday with her undying love for her through various ways like preparing delicious food and trying to help her in some other ways , and misha obviously revolted with tsubame's lolicon fetish trying to escape her antics but sometimes falling for her tricks such as her cooking and getting surprised by Tsubame's Military prowess and techniques all presented in a really good comical manner. There are also funny moments where there are lines and scenarios which might make it awkward or a bit uncomfortable but if you really have a high tolerance of comedy you will really enjoy it. The Best part of this series in my opinion is its not all rainbows and sunshine, because they add some really good, relatable emotional and touching scenes for example misha's memories with her mother , and her current personality due to her mothers death, and the viewers can really feel the emotion of the moment, but the flow of the story is so good that when the scene continues and it goes into lighter and comical moments quickly the viewers can enjoy the rest of the entire episode too and also indulge and savor the emotional part of the episode as well, which made me hooked on to this series. The last Episode just proves that and was done really well. Talking about Art, Doga Kobo works usually are one of the best. The animation is really good, the expressions, and the flow of it is top notch. Detailed drawing like Tsubame's weird but funny lolicon imaginations and Presenting her Ripped toned body which brings out her manly side in a funny way for the viewers and other aspects of the story which the audience will notice when they watch the series. As for the Sound, Haruka Shiraishi the VA for Misha and Manami Numakura the VA for Tsubame have done an amazing job for the characters, The op "Uzauza☆Waosu!" and the End "Tokimeki Climax" are both sung by the VA's. "Tokimeki Climax" being my favorite which is sung from Tsubame's perspective is too good , its really catchy and enjoyable to hear and watch. :D Character wise Tsubame is really my favorite, She has a multi talented character development, where she is a high classed trained individual but succumbs to her love of little girls especially misha and totally loses it at times, but is totally dependable, mature and sometimes a mother like figure totally a refreshing sight for a female Mc. Misha is also really good with her cute, shy , introvert and her inner gamer personality which some people can relate to. She can be really funny while reacting to tsubame's advance and tactics and her reactions are priceless. In the end i would say if you are looking for a story or a anime with a powerful hidden message or story , then no this isn't something you should watch, But for a good refreshing slice of comedy with the element of lolicon, weird, cringey comedy (in a good way) and a bit of emotional, serious moments, which people who like humor will enjoy and to sit, back relax & be entertained then yes this really a recommended watch .

Wow, what a great anime! Let's start with the most important thing: the loli. The loli here is very cute and funny as well as lovable. If you love cute lolis, funny lolis, or even both, you're in for a treat. There are some other lolis than the main loli here as well, if you're into other lolis or more lolis. But personally, the main loli is so good I don't even need any other lolis. The protagonist is very relatable, which really helps the viewer to immerse in the world of the story. Definitely the sentiments, feelings and motives behind the protagonist's actions will resonate withmany. If you like animes with relatable protagonists such as Bocchi the Rock! or Baki the Grappler, then this is definitely something for you. There is a lot of cute and funny scenes here and the overall tone of the show is comedic, but the last 2 episodes take a darker and more serious turn. Without spoiling anything, the show delivers an important message - that a caring and attentive adult can help an alienated child deal with trauma and other issues, such as societal alienation. I would rate it higher, but the other maid character (the submissive hag) that shows up halfway is annoying, and her bits are the weakest part of the show. It would be better if it was just a deep character study of a relationship between the loli and her maid.
