Well that was actually really fun, this can't end well though, she is only going to be a live 398 days I smell a sad episode 11. As for the actual episode, it was fun, like the scene on the bus.

Well I wasn't expecting for such an echi scene... so soon at least, well I guess this is Gainax we're talking about.

I loved the animation and the episode was indeed rather funny. I wonder if those aliens will invade again.

Omg NIPPLES !! Used to nowadays' censorship, this is quite a difference.

Animation has quite the 'old' feeling, there's a share of very detailled animated scenes followed by short slideshows. But the drawing is nice, Mahoro's hair remind me of Tenma (from School Rumble), it moves, too xD

And I have seen an anime with a counter at the end of the episodes before, can't remember it though :/

The whole one year left thing probably doesn't promise a very happy last episode, but there's another series after this (or season; something) so I'll get down about it after that.

This looks to be a lot of fun to watch. Can't wait!

This already looks like something I will enjoy. Although, unless they somehow find a way to extend her lifespan, it doesn't look like this is going to have a happy ending.

And didn't know there were cel-animated TV anime that were shot in widescreen. This was probably one of the last of them, before most studios went digital with the coloring and backgrounds.

I'm heavily impressed by art and animation quality. And character design is so damn sweet.
I'm already in love with this series.

Dub = fake crap. Always.

I'm annoyed Brock-syndrome is affecting this anime, especially from a Gainax anime.

EVA is the king of show don't tell with its themes and (at least this episode) became a bit hamfisted dialogue wise.
This is not to say the themes this episode are really anything thought-provoking but it helps the viewing experience.

For the visuals, I was very impressed and hope it doesn't dip too much
Also the maid is voiced by the voice of Saber in Fate/Stay Night

Nice start. I was expecting little light to no fan service, so this was quite a throw-off.

The dub sounds good. I really like Bridget Hoffman's voice.

Hmm... so they don't live on the same Earth that got attacked by aliens?

A cute maid to serve all your wishes. Yeah, it's every boys dream, including me of course! hehe

I don't like cleaning as well, but damn, how can he live in such a house? In my case, I always make sure to clean up any clutter I see. However, my house is quite dusty since I'm super lazy.

390 days to go and he ain't aware of that fact. Is this anime gonna get a bittersweet ending?

Same feeling here, at least regarding the fun and the timer at the end.

Even too much ecchi for me in this anime 😅

100% agree. I missed that animation style 😄 so I'm revisiting this anime I never stopped watching a long time ago~

so far this is much better than similar-themed shows from this time period most of which are basically unwatchable.

It certainly looks its age, or maybe even older, though it's not bad so far. Mahoro has a sort of worldliness about her to make her suitable for being a competent maid, but still has the customary naivety you'd expect of an android adjusting to a new life in human society.

She's also really sexy. You have to admire how perfectly shaped her body is when she stepped into the bathroom. Just marvelous curvature.

It's about as subtle as a nuke when it comes to tragedy though. The ominous "days left" count at the end of the episode tells you exactly what to expect. But at least Mahoro will live a lot longer than she would've as a soldier.

so far, i seem to like the concept of the whole "android who was once a combatant that has retired, only for them to be a maid for their alternative job." (i think). though, this show's gonna be real interesting for me for sure to cover up.

Awesome first ep overall, excited to see what the next one has to offer. This looks really gorgeous too, anime from the late traditional era are unmatched.

I saw a trailer for this series so long ago on one of my Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OVA DVDs. After finally watching the first episode, it was pretty good! We've got space battles, super maids, and a budding romance. The MC is a mess, so she's really got her work cut out for her in more ways than just one!

Check out my retrogaming blog, EfreetEater.
I also make games
and anime/game-influenced vapory musick.
