| This was really cute! The comedy was quite good as well, the dust detecting finger hahaha. |
 |

| I love this it's so cute and please gtfo if this is not your cup of tea. |
 |
| Well that was strange. Liked the ending music, not much else. |

Going to continue this one. katsu044 said: seems decent heh i need to know these animators already they've done work for studio 3hz and 8bit and i instantly knew from the awesome OP with the same style of movements it was them. conflicted with that ED though... The opening was directed and key animated by Ryouma Ebata. Who also did the ending sequences for both of Studio 3hz's shows, along with being credited as "action supervisor" on Dimension W, he also did the opening for Absolute Duo, and at least some of Grisaia no Rakuen's ED |

| Meh don't know what to think of it yet, need more episode |
| Aww this was super cute and amusing. If there's anything the first episode was missing, I wanted to see Chihiro cry. Mamma just died you know? But still, really good. This would've been harsh child labour if not for Chihiro's personality xD I need a shounen maid too! |
| That was really sweet! I think I'll enjoy this :) |
| Why do I get that disgusting feeling of Boku no Pico when watching this? I know it won't be like that, I have to remind myself that it's a shoujo and that it's going to sexless... I hope. I know a lot of girls, especially in Japan, have this fetish of wanting to dress up boys in girls clothes and putting make-up on them. I'm a woman myself but I don't see the appeal in this. I'm LGBTQ too so I'm all for people wearing clothes that best suits their self-identity but I don't see why women force males who don't identify as women or don't want to wear women's clothing to wear them. It's no different from forcing someone to like a sex that they're not attracted to. I'm still guessing this will have elements of shounen-ai or subtle yaoi. |
| 臭い- |
| his uncle is a little weird and if he likes cleaning why would he wear a maid outfit -_- |
 |
| Enjoyable first episode ! |

To be honest, I feel like you're viewing this through the wrong type of lenses, and I'm kind of tired of seeing any show featuring young boys being labelled as shotacon. Exactly like how there is a market for cute girls doing cute/funny things, there is appeal in cute boys doing cute/funny things. But since Boku no PPfest was the first thing to hit general audiences that involved shota boys, the majority's brains fried themselves and can't get past a 'young boy and older guardian figure' premise without quivering. (Even if that revulsion tends to be played for laughs.) I'm not personally hyper fond of crossdressing boys, but I do understand the appeal. I'd like to rebut your generalisation, because it's not a matter of sexuality or gender identity. Instead, this 'fetish' is usually not of wanting to dress /boys/ up in girls clothes, but rather /cute, often young boys whom resemble dolls/. And then there's also the irony of a boy being at being cute than a girl, which can be entertaining. In fact, most of the time this trope is used for amusement purposes anyway. How they're forced into these scenarios, at least to me, is similar to watching someone being forced to wear the hand-made but hideous sweater than their grandma gave them. And maybe it will have elements of BL. Since so many other Slice of Life shows featuring a cast full of girls tend to have GL elements, it seems fair to me. Let's agree to disagree, end of story. I don't understand why you're trying to convince me, otherwise. This is my opinion, nothing you say will dissuade me. |
| 臭い- |
| I...don't know what to make of this. For some reason, I found this anime strangely enjoyable, which is weird to me, because I've always found animes about cute girls doing nothing important to be truly amazing gems, yet here I am, watching an anime about a boy in a maid outfit. And like it. Obviously I will need to perform further tests to understand this, so I shall continue watching this -^- |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Such a cute maid outfit and cat outfit <333 |
| How early is more than adequate, the narrative presents a well-balanced mix of seriousness coupled with humorous and cute moments, it does not get bored, for the moment the characters are anonymous as characterization, but their actions are fun. Drawings and animations on the whole good, look forward to the next episode. |
 |
| It was fun, the uncle is the best |
 |
| Not great or original by any stretch, but this has a certain sweetness I haven't found in any other show this season.....so far! 3/5 Edit: Just read some of the other reviews regarding the "cross-dressing" angle... Bibimbapski said: Why do I get that disgusting feeling of Boku no Pico when watching this? 1) 1st Rule of ANIME: THERE IS NO "Boku no Pico"!!! 2) Chihiro being a "maid" is just the "selling point" of the story. And, almost EVERY Anime series does that nowadays....."selling" the story one way, but the "actual" story being about something else. Again, this isn't original for an Anime (or Manga) but pretty good for what it is....so far!! |

| Too Much ANIME......Not enough LIFETIME!!!!!! |
| They should make this into a hentai. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| Episode 2 may be delayed because of an earthquake crisis in Japan. |
 |
| Yup, magnitude 6.5. Broadcasts on TBS and CBC have been suspended. Next broadcast is tomorrow at 23:30 on Sun TV, according to the schedule on the website. 4 casualties so far. https://twitter.com/ShonenMaid/status/720657475138027520 |

| I didn't know what to expect from this anime. After the first episode, I STILL do not know what to expect, but I am fully invested, and look forward to watching more. Boy moves in with his unknown uncle. Doesn't want to feel like he's being "helped". He's a clean-freak. Uncle decides to "hire" him as a housekeeper, in exchange for him living there. I don't know how they'll stretch it to a full cour, but I'm TOTALLY on board to see more. |
| This was surprisingly cute and thankfully not at all like Super Lovers! |
 |
| LOL. I honestly did not expect something decent. The uncle annoys me a bit, but it's fairly relaxing. Chihiro is also quite different than expected as well. |
| Alright show for first ep. The comedy was minimum with cleaning jokes only. Chihiro is so young yet a health conscious is weird. I guess it would be average show for starters so fingers crossed. |
 |
| Pretty funny!! Kinda reminded me of a bizarro world of Hayate the combat butler..... and how do so many people think this is gay? I don't understand.....like you could take it as a gay thing if you want it to be gay, but as far as I'm concerned....this show is about a "child like" uncle who is a fashion designer taking in and taking care of his sisters kid.....other than the fashion designer part (which isn't gay, but I will give you that there is the stereotype) there hasn't really been too much gayness in it lol. Anyway....it looks like it will be a fun anime. |
 |
| A funny and agreeable first episode. I am looking forward to see the real maid. I wonder why this show is tagged like a shoujo |
| A somewhat comedic first episode, although I do wonder whether this will be able to stay entertaining for an entire season. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
| Gotta love clean freaks, it's a shame I'm not really one myself. Why clean when you can watch anime forever right |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Decent start, not sure where this will go to but it sure feels rather focused on Girl Fanserivce :p |
 |
| What a nice episode Cuteness kinda overload and he's a boy.. Well no one said a boy can't be cute xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| with that uniform he reminds me of Misaki from Kaichou wa Maid-sama, hes like male kid ver of Misaki when hes is in hes uniform lol its not BL anime so this doesn't bother me, nothing against gay's, its just that i am not fan of BL..., but if 2side chars are gay couple okay, but full on BL no thx Bibimbapski said: Ruethless said: To be honest, I feel like you're viewing this through the wrong type of lenses, and I'm kind of tired of seeing any show featuring young boys being labelled as shotacon.
