Do you think this anime will be able to properly convey the romance aspect of the story? So far these are the biggest obstacles I see:

- Technical: The expressionless CGI faces, especially from the maid. At some point I was under the impression that she was a sort of sci-fi sex robot programmed just to keep blue balling the poor dude. Movements and the 3D model look decent, but her facial expressions are lifeless.

- Story: The boy inner monologue reveals that he doesn't even know why the maid went there to live with him, and yet he's ready to marry her. Not exactly the sweetest "romance" for a story, since from the perspective of his character, what she has done for him is to serve him, cook for him, do the house chores, etc, all of which is basically her job.

Obviously the story is just beginning so it's quite early to say for sure but what are your expectations so far in terms of the romance?

Well as for cgi...it will be challenging to ...but it can be made well.... animation doesn't look bad necessarily...but it does seem weird bcs of cgi....and as for the story...i think he wants to marry her really bcs of that reason...ahe came to aid and be with him after he was alone for quite some time....andd they lived in a same place together for like 2 years....so yeah...idk... we'll see how everything turns out

i dont know how you came to any of that conclusion , but frankly i dont see why he needs anymore reason to marry her , other than she is there for him when no one else bothers to be . and she clearly isnt doing out of obligation or anything , as the scenes with the "friend" would indicate . and also other things like she is beautiful , she is nice , she is caring etc . i am pretty sure anyone that is going through the same as he is , would be feeling the same things..

and about the CG , well yeah i as a manga reader am not a fan of it at all . it looks janky and sometimes just feels so weird . the anxiety lines look like some kind of a disease , and like you said facial expressions are really losing their value . the comedic nuance in the scenes are completely gone , as the CG cant capture how its done in the manga . scenes like this:



Guess it really doesnt matter . it is getting its message across , so we might as well get used to it i guess .
frankly i am very surprised that this many people even bothered to watch it . i was expecting the forums to be a dead place , with about 15 viewers .

I actually didn't really mind the CGI in the first episode, I mean sure it would've been better in 2D but it's not bad to the point of utter disgrace. I still feel am on the verge of getting diabetes because of the 2 main characters so I can say it could work out pretty well!

The whole CGI thing is really off-putting, it is really unfortunate that they made that choice cause I was looking forward for that show but with the CGI that is out of place with the oil-painted background feels unnatural.

Too early to judge. I have seen the trailers, they made good use of cgi, like that of kingdom and beastars. They didnt ruined it like ex arm and berserk atmost, so I will watch this anime for sure, coz I have been looking forward to it from a long time.

Even without any plot, a big boobs maid constantly making sexual propositions is probably enough to attract a "cultured" audience.

And I agree with your point about the comedy... if there are chibi scenes I wonder how they'll deal with that. Another 3D model for the chibis? switching to 2D? Let's see how it goes.

Oh and about the romance, yeah of course it makes sense that he falls in love with her as she seems to be the only person in the world that will come close to him. He doesn't really have a choice if he wants a love life.

My point was that it's a kinda shallow choice for a romance... like a man "falling in love" with a flirtatious babysitter. Not as wholesome as if they would have been in a more equal footing. He doesn't even understand why she constantly makes sexual propositions to him... so it feels more like ecchi plot than wholesome romance.

im looking forward to see how they'll kiss or something. will they cover it with a love heart? will it look like 2 blocks touching? or will it actually be good. tbh the cgi isn't "bad" but id definitely prefer 2d animation more, doesn't bother me Too much tho

The possibilities are endless:



In any case, them kissing would signal that they overcame the main obstacle of the plot (the curse), so it might be a long wait until the final episodes (manga still ongoing apparently, so we don't even know if it will conclude this season).

LMFAOO thats exactly what i thought it would look like while writing. just a censor since they can't make it good. but yeah the curse is the main plot, would kinda mean that its ending if they can kiss

The CG reminds me of what they experimented with on Haruhi-chan. The only good thing that came out of that using CG was Haruhi hitting the camera in the intro.

Honestly I thought the CGI was pretty good for what it's worth so far.

and yeah i think that's people are calling the shots on saying how good the CGI is too soon, it might change, who knows

Has a 8.60 mean score

still it feels better than CGI used in Ex-Arm and Berserk 2016,, atill i have to say the animation CGI here isn't that bad as compared to those old Full CGI ones

For me, it's the terrible rendering of shadows that puts me off the most. It's like they just applied a solid colored texture to the 3d models in ways that don't even match up to the light source, much less change as the models move around. J.C. Staff strikes again, I guess.

I don't think it's that bad tho,, it has been 5 or 6 episode (i forgot), but I don't really think the CGI turns the characters into "robot" or else as it do has no problem with facial expression.. the thing is, the Maid/Alicia do have a kind of poker face.. you can see Bocchan showed many expressions until now, so I think it just the matter of each character's character..
this is seriously on other level that the ExArm... and not all CGI anime are bad tho
