Episode 1:

- And so we start with Fujiwara Naeka landing a head strike and winning her kendo match. From a spectator box high up, maid guy and maid, uh, girl watch her. A teammate tries to give Naeka water, maid guy puts a throwing knife through it, because it could be poisonous. Two officials approach and ask what happened, and maid girl puts them out with a dartgun, because they could be after Naeka.
- Naeka and two other girls shower (nipples - this is automatically piano's pick for 2008 I bet) and when they come out, Naeka's locker is open. They assume lingerie thief, but maid guy actually... put an extra bra in :sd:
- Naeka and her brother Kousuke meet with their grandfather, who says he's going to make them life with him in a mansion full of maids. Naeka refuses, saying she wants a normal life, but apparently her home is anything but normal. It's pretty much a garbage dump. :sd:
- When their grandfather gets there we find that the maid (Fubuki) already cleaned the entire house. And elsewhere, maid guy (Kogarashi) was rounding up the dangerous animals running wild. Grandfather says that those two will now be Naeka and Kousuke's maids.
- Much to Naeka's chagrin, because Kogarashi is insane. After some nice lingerie shots, Naeka chases them out of the house.
- Second part.
- Backstory time. Naeka's parents are apparently missing, victims of a plane crash and assumed dead. Zenjuurou (the grandfather) does not believe this is an accident. One by one his descendants are being killed off or going missing, leaving only Naeka and Kousuke to inherit his fortune. Naeka will do so in half a year, when she turns 18, and people are targeting her life as well.
- A few days later... Naeka gained some weight, and Kogarashi tells us about his MAID GUY SIGHT that renders her totally naked to him no matter if she's wearing clothes or not. :sd:
- Fubuki, however, decides it's time to properly "educate" Kogarashi... with a nailbat. And so, he's a bloody, blackened mess when Zenjuurou drags Naeka and Kousuke back to the house upon misinterpreting something Kousuke says.
- Kogarashi's "education" continues from there. Zenjuurou acknowledges they need his power to protect Naeka, but tells Fubuki that as the Maid Guy Tamer, she must keep Kogarashi in check.
- Fubuki gives Naeka a whistle that activates Kogarashi's mask and causes him extreme agony whenever she uses it. She tests it out, and the end result winds up being an angry Kogarashi on fire :sd:

Well. That was interesting.

[Westlo]

I enjoyed the first episode of Kamen no Maid Guy, the KOTOKO intro was alright, Naeka was big and bouncy and I was surprised to see that they showed her nipples and than censored her ass later on with some light. Iguchi Yuka who voices Naeka was also Aiko from True Tears, she seems to be rather new VA so I hope to see more from her in the future. The Maid Guy Kogarashi was hilarious, Koyama Rikiya is so underused it's nice to see him get a few roles this season.

[Shikishima]

That was a great first episode, Kogarashi was awesome :D
I loved the opening and ending themes and the drawing style as
well. The fanservice was good too, I'll be watching this one.

[HitokiriShadow]

It's not about to be one of my favorites but that was pretty funny. "I educated someone who wouldn't listen." *pulls out nailbat* XD

[Konoha]

In which we learn that... the bigger the chest, the worse someone is at math? I don't think I can describe this episode properly, I was laughing too hard. The bit with Maid Guy and the printer was priceless. And hey, an anime rendition of MIT!

[pi8you]

Oh god this had me in stitches, Kogarashi's somewhere near Bobobo levels of awesome, and the bit with the shower head just about made me die. I'd absolutely watch this with or without the fanservice.

[Nagato-san]

:nosebleed:

Wow, very nice episode. This has probably been the best so far. I just loved the ironic twist at the end.

So far, this series has been one of my favorites from this season.

[something]

Well, I did start the thread so maybe I should get past ep 1.

Episode 2:

- Well, if Eiko is right about math and breasts, Naeka is doomed :sd:
- Naeka's breasts definitely get a lot of attention.
- Yay for Naeka molesting Fubuki!
- Kogarashi taught... at MIT >_> And... and... HE'S A PERSOCOM! XD

And, yeah, I have little more to say :sd: Even a steel breastplate cannot contain Naeka's all powerful breasts!

This is one of those strange fanservice shows where the animation is terrible but it's vaguely hot (not the word I'm looking for, but whatever) anyway. Always love seeing Naeka's breasts explode from their confines, even if the animation budget for the series was a 50 yen coin.

[something]

Episode 3:

- Naeka vs Love Letter! I love the backstory on her fear of love. But damn, poor Naeka. She's allowed no privacy, no time to think, not when Kogarashi is around :sd:
- Megane Imouto Nekomimi! XD Imouto-san~~ Hazuki~~
- Hahaha, holy crap. The scene their grandfather witnesses when he comes to visit... NEED MOAR NAEKA x FUBUKI YURI!
- Heh I'd already read that the one sending the letter was a girl, but damn they cut out of that scene way too early =P

Oh well~~ I'm sure she'll be around more. And it's not as good as Naeka x Fubuki. I have ep 4 but I guess I'll save that for tomorrow.

[something]

Episode 4:

- Blond twintails strawberry panties sneers at the "brainless and big breasted" Naeka. It appears we have a rival. And from the looks of her, she's really, really good at math.
- By the by, glasses work pretty well on Naeka.
- A failed assault by lingerie thieves eventually leads to Kogarashi finding out that a second group was involvd that night, including a young girl with strawberry panties.
- And the next day Naeka's class gets a transfer student, Elizabeth K Strawberryfield.
- Liz is crazy. She seems to... to get off on the idea of beating Naeka up and making her her bitch. She declares a duel.
- That's sort of impressive. Kogarashi can steal a girl's panties right off their bodies without them noticing.
- And Elizabeth blackmails Naeka into dueling with her by threatening to spread hundreds of erotic photos of her throughout the school. Naeka seems to simultaneously disgust and totally turn Elizabeth on...
- Haha, wow Naeka can be sneaky. She gives Liz some really smelly headgear, then lands a head strike as Elizabeth passes out from the smell. :sd: More trickery lands Elizabeth a round two win.
- Maid Guy fights and overcomes Shizuku, Elizabeth's maid ninja.
- And back in the dojo, Naeka and Elizabeth have been fighting for an hour. Elizabeth tries to distract Naeka by throwing her stolen panties into the crowd, but Maid Guy, uh.... summons a flock of crows to get all the underwear back.

And they do get them all back, save one... that Kousuke sold to buy doijin games :sd:

[something]

Episode 5:

- o_O "Oh shit." In English no less, or at least a weak approximation. Also, uh, Elizabeth wets her bed. That's... yeah...
- We then meet Shizuku's sister, Tsurara, who seems far more formidable.
- Heh, poor ...huh it strikes me suddenly that I never bothered to remember lesbian's name. Anyay, she's trying to secretly film bathing Naeka when she gets hacked by Maid Guy. And subjected to an unspeakable horror...
- Hahah, I love the bit with the video of Fubuki trying out Naeka's uniform XD
- I really don't like the maid ninja sisters at all. They just take screen time away from the funny characters. Unfortunately, I don't see them going anywhere for the rest of the show =( The younger sister isnt quite as bad but meh to them both.

And... stuff. 4 was better than this one.

[something]

Episode 6:

- When she's asked to get off a crowded elevator because she puts it over the weight limit, Naeka decides it's diet time. For everyone.
- Scale time! Kousuke is 80kg/176lb; Kogarashi is 0kg/0lb (cheater...); Fubuki is 35kg/77lb (wut? o_O). But... Fubuki was cheating too, sticking a pin in the arrow so it couldn't advance. They pull it out and she goes to... 85kg! But that's due to all the weapons she's lugging around :sd:
- After a near death experience in a sauna, Naeka is still trying to find a good way. Kogarashi tells them about his "Maid Guy Vibrating Claw", which he used to evaporate all the water from an apple in a matter of seconds. He says he could do the same to their breasts and save them a few kilos. O_O
- With dieting not working, Naeka calls for fasting. Fubuki, tired of being called a Flabby Maid, agrees. Kousuke gets dragged along.
- After they've spent days later without eating, Kogarashi sends them nightmares about having no breasts, or turning into men o_O Finally they give up and come out, and Kogarashi actually says something sensible for once, telling them that they need to eat. Naeka agrees, but Fubuki has gotten sick. Oh no Fubuki~
- Ahaha, nurse maid Naeka! She wanted to be a nurse when she was young, but there's nothing deadlier than Naeka in nursing mode.
- Fubuki has to pretend she's healthy, in part not to hurt Naeka's feelings, but mostly so Naeka doesn't kill her :sd: Heh.

[something]

Episode 7:

- Wait, did this series always show nipples? The female kendo club heads to the public baths, and those are definitely some Naeka nipples.
- 9 minutes in and the four girls are still naked. This is a good episode! So the premise this time is that Naeka wants to pull out of the kendo tourney because there's a beastly woman she beat years ago who wants revenge.
- If Naeka loses, she's going to be stripped naked and thrown in the spectator seats. And because of this, tickets are going for hundreds of dollars :sd: But her team forces her to participate anyway.
- Because Naeka is wavering about the fight, Kogarashi abducts her and takes her to a mountain shrine to train. The expected trouble ensues.
- A week of intense Maid Guy training lets Naeka breeze her way through the tournament, and face crazy bear lady. Naeka gets the first hit in, but fatso falls on her and crushes her. Maid Guy stops bear lady from taking advantage of the unconscious Naeka. Crazy lady freaks out and loses due to a rules violation.
- So anyway, Okinawa training for the girls! But not for Naeka, who is in the hospital with broken bones from being crushed :sd:

[something]

Episode 8:

- Hendrick K Strawberryfield, Elizabeth's brother, proposes to Naeka (she has no idea who he is), because, er, her boobs are big >_> Liz... er, I mean Ichigo Kamen, shoots him with an arrow and takes him away.
- But the next day he's back as Naeka's homeroom teacher. Oh, and his eyes have the power to make girls fall in love with him.
- Ahaha! Liz pops in again to kick his ass, and the jumps out the window gracefully... before screaming "Oh crap this is the third floor!" and crashing to the ground XD
- So basically, Liz has a huge brother complex and wants to marry him, but all he cares about is breasts, and she has none to offer. More reason for her to resent Naeka.
- Hendrick makes the kendo team part of his harem next, so Naeka and her two friends challenge him to a match. The other two lose because they have to fight him without looking at him, and that doesn't work so well. They come up with a plan for Naeka though - no bra! Thus his eyes are focused on her breasts and he can't charm her.
- And then with the help of a boobytrapped bra from Kogarashi, Ichigo Kamen takes out Hendrick >_>

Well that was a bit odd. Yeah, not much else to say about this show :sd: Next episode will also, SURPRISE, be about boobs.

[Nekoman]

Maybe I need to refresh my memory on the episode, but Kogarashi-san didn’t seem to get as much screen time as he usually does. I cant go an episode without the brute!


- Ahaha! Liz pops in again to kick his ass, and the jumps out the window gracefully... before screaming "Oh crap this is the third floor!" and crashing to the ground XD

I laughed my ass off at that scene! However, I would have thought she’d know that by now.:sd:

[something]

Episode 9:

- Kogarashi saves the day! Homerun using chopsticks! And awesome, Eiko and Miwa want to become Kogarashi's apprentices. Anything that gets them into the story more is good.
- And the reason is that the cake shop they work at lost all its business to a new competitor. A competitor who only hires girls with breasts larger than a D cup. :sd: I think it's Naeka they should be asking for help, not Kogarashi.
- Ah, they do. Naeka and Fubuki, the breasts team, will infiltrate the competition while Kogarashi takes over cake cooking for their Miwa and Eiko's depressed store owner.
- Wow, a job where Naeka's breasts are considered "average". Even slightly small! And: "I've never seen breasts that were measured in meters before! Can she even see her feet?" Ahahaha.
- "Cream, cheese and yogurt are all things that are made from breasts! Those who control breasts control cake!" :sd:
- And how do I even describe the rest of the ep? The big boobed manager had fake boobs and so did the staff, and so Miwa and Eiko's store comes out on top, especially using the appeal of REAL boobs from Naeka and Fubuki.

This is the dumbest show ever but I still laugh my ass off.

[pianocello]

I find it odd that hardly anyone is blogging or talking about this show. Anyway, the way they keep showing the number of days at the end of each episode reminds me of Mahoromatic and I'm pretty sure we'll get a 2nd season.
Anyway some brief comments on finishing this:
Things I liked:
(1) Naeka's amazing breasts
(2) Yuri
(3) A lack of male characters who are spineless wimps or despicable jerks - in fact, nearly all the male characters are hilarious.
(4) KOTOKO's OP
(5) Fubuki is hot.

Deficiencies:
(1) No Fubuki nude scene.
(2) There needs to be a hardcore Naeka x Fubuki yuri scene (preferably every other episode).

[something]

Man this show finished airing two months ago and I'm still waiting on the last two eps. :sd:

Episode 10:

- Naeka sucks at math, her friends wont do it for her, Fubuki is no help, and Kogarashi even says Naeka is beyond the help of studying. Only divine intervention can save her now.
- So off to a shrine they go, but it's a famous one and the god there is so inundated with requests that only a select few can get through. There they meet a miko who used to be one of Kogarashi's colleagues (she calls him Gai), and someone who he actually seems to respect, if only for her fearsome abilities.
- Men aren't allowed in the shrine so in go Naeka and Fubuki, where they run into kendo freak and Elizabeth, both of whom Naeka needs to compete with to win the god's blessing.
- The competition turns out to be tennis and... well it's won by Fubuki's panties. This god awards points based on fanservice! His charms also work accordingly, which means Naeka needs to "use" Fubuki to get her math homework done. :sd:
- Then Fubuki returns later, asking for a charm to get people to stop calling her a clumsy maid. So the offering has to be... wearing super skimpy lingerie >_>

Episode was ok, but I'm practically forgetting about this show each time with the delay between episodes. And btw, still 133 days until Naeka comes to her inheritance, but only two eps left. Does this have a second season coming or something? o_O Not sure it really needs one.

Continuous panty shots in rapid succession to count down the days to the inheritance before a big finish maybe? ;)

10 was fun as usual, though there was a noticable lack of Maid Guy antics and a healthy dose of DO NOT WANT: SEXY~~~!! :X

According to Wikipedia, it ends with a set up for a potential second series, although one has yet to be announced. There's also an OVA episode being released with the manga in December. I love the series, and personally hope it gets finised to completion.

Ah, okay, so nothing formal but it's always possible. Well, I'm sure I'd watch it if it got made, it's just not something I'd be on the edge of my seat waiting for. :sd:

[pianocello]

One thing I need to add:
Kamen no Maid Guy probably is the anime with the most pervasive and persistent use of the word chi chi . There's hardly an episode where this word is not used over and over again.

"Mata chi chi ka!?"

I approve.

[something]

Episode 11:

Well, no play by play commentary since this is, er, Kamen no Maid Guy. This episode is, shockingly, about breasts! Or rather one major breast enthusiast, "Leader" from the kendo club. After getting a blow to the head from falling down stairs he loses his memory, waking up from a coma only when he senses the bouncing of Naeka's breasts. So she's stuck going on a date with him to help him regain his memory while Kogarashi and the Kendo hang try to set Leader and Naeka up. tl;dr it doesn't work, even if Naeka gets a bit hot and bothered by him once or twice.

Decent episode that does... well, it does what Maid Guy does.

[something]

Well, it's over. So, like, Fubuki is awesome! Maid Guy gets taken out but Fubuki makes a grand entrance. And how does a show with such low quality animation still manage to be sexy sometimes? Naeka in her underwear wrapping herself in the tablecloth was... niiiiiiice. Very nice.

As I kinda expected the show didn't even try to end anything here, and in fact just (re?)introduced the main villains instead. Pretty decent episode overall, in Maid Guy's silly, fun way.

Hardly the deepest show I've seen and damn it took a long time to get to the end, but certainly nothing I regret watching. There are still 124 days until Naeka's inheritance, so I'd come back for a second season.

[pi8you]

something pretty much sums it up, but leaving the shadowy villain for the very end, how unfair :(

[magicalgirlj]

I love this show. A big macho guy in a maid outfit is just hillarious.

[pianocello]

I just watched the OAV episode. Nothing special. Naeka's brother was funny but the whole Urashima Taro thing wasn't funny. While I don't mind that there wasn't too much advancement of plot, considering that this is an OAV, I was expecting more of a nipple-fest. ;)
No Fubuki nipples = fail
