| Eyyy! That's another Cygames x PA Works collaboration. Uma Musume was great, so I guess this will be decent as well. |
 |
| Rina Satou in a main role is beyond based. |
 |
| Director of Bunny Girl Senpai (Which I loved to death) and PA Works.... Say fucking less |
| I'll check it out since it's Cygames. |
| I don't know what quality it will have, in the end PA WORKS was able to turn Uma Musume from a nonsensical gacha into something that had a plot. But it seems to me more that, as a studio that still has the potential of KyoAni's main rival, spending time on purely entertainment projects is a rather strange waste of time. Although I must admit, this is the first time I see a duo of female seiyuu of different ages and levels. |
 |
| Nothing can go wrong with Cygames + P.A. Works + maid + Akihabara. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| did someone say maids? immediately PTW |

| hmm, then it shouldn't be weird to expect a gacha adaptation announcement following the anime. Cool |

Honestly if it doesn't get a global release I'll still play it through QooApp or something. been quite used to playing a few gacha in a different language. What wouldn't make me interested is some lame auto game like PuraOre or Lapis Re:LiGHTs |

I wouldn't mind playing Idolm@ster or some other games that aren't available in the west, but to be honest, the Japanese market itself is saturated with impersonal mobile games that are forgotten even faster than the anime that advertises them. |

No i don't. I usually use a translator app like Google Lens combined with any fan translations of guides, etc. that i use to help play. Tho after playing a few JP gacha for a few months now, i can 'read' keywords and Hiragana/Katakana when necessary |

Tho after playing a few JP gacha for a few months now, i can 'read' keywords and Hiragana/Katakana when necessary The fact that Japanese developers started using English words at certain points also helps, huh? for sure. I think they prefer spelling some in English, instead of in Katakana (which would usually take more space and characters to spell) And if u are planning on playing the iM@S rhythm games, i feel one would be able to adjust easily to them if they played Bandori/Prosekai/other rhythm games in EN. I find some skills and words are shared thru a lot of those games, and i only recall playing Prosekai for a week |

I'm more salty about Prosekai, though, as I don't get along very well with the typical audience for such games in the West. |
|
| Gonna check this one out. |
 |
| Seems like it's going to be a fun watch, and that's a pretty good staff lineup to boot! Definitely going to keep an eye on this. |

| Akiba maid huh !? Looks interesting |
| Looks like its a cultured series. |
 |
| Another P.A. Works X Cygames thingie-a-bob? Why not? |
 |
| If it has maids, then it goes to PTW, I guess. |
 |
| Meh, another all-girl anime |
| The maid industry is a very intriguing one in Japan and it would be interesting to see how they portrays it. Studio is P.A Works and the production staff look good as well. Hopefully it's something good. |
 |
| Cygames and P.A. works? I’m SOLD. Uma Musume is probably one of my favorite anime from recent times. |
| Huge fan of Cygames as a Priconne player, so I'll check this one out. |
 |
| So, according to ANN, the "Meido" in the title can be alternatively read as Underworld, in the japanese writting (LMAO, Japanese is such a flexible language)... considering what happens in end of the PV Is this another case of . Of course, I COULD be wrong. It could just be a normal slice of life about meido culture in Akiba, and that fall scene being random bait, with her 100% healthy, seconds, later. |
| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
| Maid meets Maid, now that's a new one. |
