Kimi wa Meido-sama.

One day, Hitoyoshi Yokoya wakes up to a mysterious nameless girl dressed as a maid ringing his doorbell, asking to be his servant. With her former master referring her to the Yokoya household, she offers her expertise as an assassin. Intimidated by her background, Hitoyoshi tries to send her away; but when she leaves something behind, he rushes to return it to her and is nearly hit by a truck in the process. With her fast reflexes, the girl saves him just in time, and Hitoyoshi ends up taking her in.

Ironically, the maid lacks any skills apart from the art of killing she has perfected since childhood. Nevertheless, Hitoyoshi welcomes the girl with open arms, encouraging her to leave her monochromatic past behind and experience a normal life. To seal the deal, Hitoyoshi names her Yuki, marking the beginning of her path to redemption and happiness.

This show doesn't take itself too seriously. The backstory of the female lead could be deeply explored in relation to how it affects her sense of self and how she handles trust in other people, to be made into an emotional tale of how a character with trauma and a tragic past learns to see more light in the world (or warmth, as the show puts it), and falls in love with the person who shows it to her. It tries to do that, in a very shallow level, but if that's what you're looking for, this show's not for you.
You see, this show has ... a fatal case of "anime". Put simply, it very much is "we want the hot naive maid to be with the nice mc". Typical Slice of Life stuff - going to school, summer festival, visiting the temple on new year's - with some wacky action hijinks along the way (the maid is an assassin, after all).
With that in mind, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. The show is very endearing, and the girl is very cute (you can see this show spent all its animation budget on the women lol). Sometimes you just wanna watch a silly show about a cute maid and a nice boy who like each other, and that's ok.

Mixed Feelings

I went into Kimi wa Meido-sama not expecting much, but I ended up really enjoying it. The romance between Yuki and Hitoyoshi was definitely on the sappy side, but honestly, I didn’t mind. Their dynamic kept me invested, and I liked seeing how their relationship developed throughout the series.

That said, the way the anime ended left me frustrated. Hitoyoshi’s unresolved feelings, the lingering mystery around his father, and the unanswered questions about Yuki’s previous master—none of it sat right with me. Instead of a satisfying conclusion, it felt like the story just stopped, leaving too much up in the air.

If there were even a hint ... of a second season, I’d probably rate it an 8. But since there’s nothing on the horizon, all those loose ends drag it down for me. So, my final score is a 6/10.

I’d still recommend it if you like romance with a bit of mystery, but just be ready for an ending that doesn’t quite deliver.

This anime is such a disappointment because it had so much potential. Nothing happens in this anime; there is no plot. An argument can be made that the female MC goes through a change in maybe the first two or three episode (she finds out she doesn't have to be an assassin and can be a normal person deserving of love). But after that, literally nothing happens. The male MC doesn't have much of a personality. The female MC's personality is at most one-dimensional. They randomly introduce a female ninja(?) as a friend for the female MC that literally came out of nowhere. Concepts like ... the male MC's distance from his father, and his parents divorced are introduced but never explored with any depth; its quickly brushed aside. There is no romance of any kind; and I'm only mentioning this because this was marketed as a romance anime? If it isn't that, I don't know what it is. Random, but towards the end of the anime, the last four or five episodes (who can honestly tell), the female MC just starts crying as a reaction to anything that's said... that becomes her entire character.

If you held a gun to my head and asked me to name something redeeming about this anime or even a few scenes that weren't completely horrible, Id mention the scenes where the male MC lays on the female MC's lap. This is about as much fan service as if you were on the brink of dying from thirst and someone dipped the tip (just the tip) of one of their fingers and flicked whatever drop or two of water that was on it in your direction.

Save yourself the time and avoid this one.

I'd recommend something like Vermeil in Gold (Kinsou no Vermeil: Gakeppuchi Majutsushi wa Saikyou no Yakusai to Mahou Sekai wo Tsukisusumu).
