I like Manager-san's shenanigans and Ranko's badass Onee-san energy. But holy shit is this getting repetitive. Every episode is just Manager-san getting into debt, Maids tries to pay off debt, Ranko kills debt collector, problem solved. Will this ever get become non-episodic or have some substance?

Damn, I wonder how you youngsters would have fared during the Pre Internet years, when several anime consisted of dozens of episodes of random bullshit that barely progressed the story.

Now you are 3 episodes in and you call something repetitive.

I'm pretty sure, that an actual plot will kick in eventually and that we have seen so far is just a prologue.
Ranko's backstory is yet to be revealed tho.

When the show is named Akiba Maid War I’m not expecting award winning writing and storytelling. I’m here for nonsense and a good time. I mean they address the random panda in the first episode with a throwaway line and then the next episode it’s lighting a kitchen on fire like out of a mafia movie.

I would’ve liked it way more if it had a serious tone like Black Lagoon but it is obviously going for style over substance and I am fine with it.

He's just a oversimplifying bait poster lol

But true, nowadays, in the simulcast era, people(the impatient and immature ones) have a platform to give out premature takes. It's amusing af.

Big true. If you come into the show after the first episode or two and you don't realize that, then I don't know what to tell you.

This episode actually broke the trend and it wasn't repetitive.

What's more serious than a gunfight at a casino and then one episode later, they're boxing to save their restaurant? People will really complain about anything to the point that they start throwing out blatantly incorrect claims.

ya, ya how absurd of me to think the anime that had an idol concert during the first episode where Ranko butchered a bunch of maids while dancing was actually meant to be taken as super serious. How obnoxious of me to not realize that happens in real life all the time, please forgive me.

Also, I wasn’t complaining. I like this anime. What I wrote could hardly be considered criticism.

Again I have pointed out moments where the anime has taken a serious tone. What do you expect from an anime with maids and a cafe as its main setting? It's not like the anime just revealed shockingly that it wasn't going to be like Black Lagoon. The first episode literally starts with Ranko and Nagomi learning how to be maids in a very exaggerated fashion. You say you're not complaining but all I see is you moaning about something that you really should expect from a show such as this.

Christ, you need to step outside. I am literally not complaining, I am enjoying the anime so far. You need to rewatch Black Lagoon because compared to this it has an entirely different vibe. Just because things aren’t serious doesn’t mean they are bad. Just because something goes for style over substance doesn’t mean it’s automatically bad, either. Warhol vs Hopper is a perfect example.

I never said it was anything like Black lagoon or that you felt it was bad. I'm just confused as to why you're expecting this to have a similar tone to Black Lagoon. It has only been four episodes so I don't think it's fair to say that it's going for style over substance. Hopefully, the characters will be explored further in the coming episodes.

…I did not say it was like Black Lagoon. I said I would have liked for it to be similar to that in tone, but that was it. I was confused why you saw issue with what I wrote, but it was because you misread my comment.

Yeah, this show is not turning out to be as good as I expected it to from watching the first episode. I was expecting it to be more bizzare and out there than it actually is. I want something like that gun fight musical sequence from episode 1 again. Stuff that is so over the top that I burst out laughing. It really failed to capture that vibe ever since the first episode. I still hope it improves though.

Towards the end, if you last that long. But just because it gets a little non-episodic, doesn't mean it gets substance. I find this show to have little of that, but it's because, substance is not what it's aiming for. Rather it's silly shenanigans, with overplayed violent tendencies, sprinkled in. Not a bad thing, but it makes the anime seem pretty surface-level.

I hope anyone that comes after this comment ignores this guy. It's a refreshing show, it's one to spare you the boredom. It's funny and serious at the same time. I mean people actually die and the police is being paid off to keep quiet. The ending explains a lot, and wouldn't advice anyone to pay heed to people discussing on the third episode.
