----------------------------------------
That felt average imo. Cute OP song though for starters.

Pretty simple show in general. It's about Chihiro on being a maid and making the most of his life to support himself. I'm not really sold on the comedy though tbh despite some bittersweet moments. Pacing also feels kinda slow.

This was rather interesting and pretty funny.
Especially the uncle who seems to be all over the place.
I wonder what more we could expect from this anime.

Really loving the characters in here. The comedy is great too. I like how he's a total neat freak. So his uncle is a designer lol. No wonder he made him that maid uniform. I love the way his mom wrote that letter to him lol. She was awesome.

That was the most adorable thing I've seen in a while. All the characters are so lovable! Specially the uncle Madoka. It's too bad that Chihiro lost his mother but I bet he can recover from his loneliness in company of these two. Looking forward to the introduction of the other characters!

Alright so this is officially the first 24 minute episode I've watched raw. I really prefer having subtitles. All I got out of this episode was that the mc's mom died, the mc is a clean freak, he's going to live with the blondie, and the blondie is a clothes designer. I'll keep watching though, and hope someone subs it.

Why is the best character dead from the very start!? The mom seemed like such a chill, loveable person.

As expected, this is just going to be a nice SoL like anime, similar to Hayate no Gotoku. When it comes to anything to do with guys, people can be so jumpy and judgmental...

The comedy was decent, characters fun and visuals were great same as music but one thing that ticks me was that the main characters sounded freaking monotone and dull. This was the biggest turnoff for me, but still a solid 3. Seems promising but I hope the dull dialogue gets better.

So based 8bit with delivering the bushy eyelashes.

Pretty funny and solid first episode. I like it a lot. Knowing people well, they tend to look at the studio but I look at the staff, and base from what I've seen, I enjoyed the fuck out of it. Just a pretty chill mood of SoL though ^w^

It feels refreshing to me tbh like for some reason it doesn't even feel like a 2016 anime, more like 2007/2008 (like Ouran and Black Butler) which is what I really like

I just hope there won't be pedo moments for "comedy". It'll ruin the show for me.

A "slow" 8bit anime is a miracle though. They are still world record holders of most sped-up adaptation with a 17.5:1 compression ratio of Grisaia no Kajitsu.

This is so adorable! Chihiro is so cute, especially about being a neat freak! And Madoka is so childish ( and maybe an introvert since he doesn't like strangers lol and he works at home), but quite handsome when it comes to his passion for designing costumes! The only sad thing is Chihiro's mom death, but her letter was so funny! She sure was an optimistic woman! Can't wait to see more!

I really liked this. The OCD MC kinda reminds me of myself. The uncle seems a bit like Sawako Yamanaka in a few different ways. The backgrounds were beautiful, which seems to be fairly common for 8bit.

I think I was supposed to laugh at some point, but there was nothing funny to laugh at. A lot of cringing though. When the writers have the little kid screaming an adult is being too stupid for them, maybe they should take that as a hint...

This was too adorable. Didn't expect this to be so cute, but hot damn it was. Main character looks too cute dressing up in the maid outfit and then the cat outfit. Guess his uncle will keep dressing him in girl's clothes throughout the series. I can't believe this is labeled a shoujo lol.

I really like how the characters interact. Especially how the uncle shows his more childish/silly side when in reality it's simply his way of caring. Though I do honestly hope that this doesn't end up going down the Shounen-ai or yaoi route, especially between the kid and his uncle <.<

This was much better than I expected.
It was so cute and funny and touching, too.
I expected some sort of shounen ai stuff xD

Chihiro is kawaii and in his regular outfit and in his maid costume, too <3
Madoka is cute, too and hot when he's serious :3 Shuichiro is hot, too.
Yeah, I like these guys and it seems like we're getting even more of those next time!

Cute, amusing, entertaining, and surprisingly no trap character.

There were also some rather touching parts and I suspect it's gonna have more of those later. There are plenty of good comedies this season already.. it's so exciting!

The artstyle is much cuter than I thought it would be.
I also thought the boy would be very very feminine but he's actually not.

The uncle is a bit annoying but i'll keep watching to see where this goes.

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

Ehh, probably first candidate to drop. It was anticlimactic and totally uninteresting for me. I'm not talking about slowness, just... It has something which I don't like.
The art is good at least. But I would prefer if 8bit save their money for Rewrite... Especially that PV of rewrite looks awful.

Ugh. I cannot not-think of this as a shotacon/shounen-ai. Coincidentally, there's also a hentai anime with a similar name, similar family, and somewhat similar premise.Fuck, I feel like the uncle's going to bang that kid, AND THINKING ABOUT IT MAKES ME WANT TO SLAUGHTER SOME KITTIES.

Jokes aside, I didn't expect this to be quite entertaining (and ridiculously cute), although I'll have to drop this since I've got my hands full.

What... Even if it's a comedy, I don't like how it treats the subject of death at all. Oh yeah, mom died but she was being carefree in her last letter so I'll do the same and pretend nothing happened ha ha ha. The OP is nice I guess.

I'm sorry, but I didn't bother with the rest. I needed an excuse to skip this one, now I have it. If it does get a high rating by the end, I might put in my plan to watch list. But yeah, that's way in the future, so no need to worry right away.
