Kamen no Maid Guy:

What can I say? No seriously I can’t really think of much. The show, is outright awesome, the characters, everything it’s just frikking insane.

STOPPU!

PICTURE TIME!

(If you miss the MC Hammer reference there I’ll slap you, seriously.)

See, sometimes I just wait until there’s enough episodes of a show to let me do the whole one screenshot per episode. .. <.< Okay in reality I’ve just been hoarding this up until now and just sat down and watched it with a few slabs of pizza and the biggest beer I could find. Turns out I’m hooked on it, the episodes just blow by and after six, which is equal to about two hours if you don’t skip the OP and ED you’re sitting there going OH SHI-! It’s over! It starts off rather innocently, with a Kendo match between the “main character” Naeka and some random people. Turns out her grand daddy is a rich old bastar… erm old guy, rich old guy. >.> I say “main character” because well… aside from her liking Kendo she’s pretty much the exact opposite of what I like in a character. ;p

He hires some maids and out of that we get Fubuki and the real main character (in my opinion) Kogarashi. He’s where the name for the show comes from he’s a maid and he’s a guy, thus maid guy. He’s not a butler, he’s a maid, wears the dress and everything. Except on him it looks more like… whatever you call those kendo pants that aren’t actually pants. And he’s tore the sleaves off ala Ryu of Streetfighter fame and he wears a mask… or half mask hence the kamen part of the title. Kogarashi is… well he’s GAR, to extremes, he’s just so epically bad ass there’s no stopping him. He’s been beaten half to death with a nail bat, lit on fire, had flash bombs go off in his face, knitting needles stuck through his ear/head I forget what all else, you just can’t stop him.

Toss in his crazy super powers, Maid Guy Eye, Maid Guy Freeze Voice, Maid Guy Shredder, Maid Guy I forget what else. But what’s he doing there? Well like I said Naeka… oh right she has a brother, Kousuke, he’s an otaku, very into eroge… and maids. Anyway her grand daddy the rich old fart is going to leave some form of inheritance to Naeka when she turns 18 and so hired some bodyguards in the guise of maids. Now Kogarashi starts to make a lot of sense. So he hires Fubuki to appeal to Kousuke’s taste and Kogarashi for Naeka, who apparently has a thing for samurai types, but like I mentioned both of them are actually there to act as bodyguards.

Kogarashi is very… oh whats the word… he has this, manner… in which he acts that makes him come across as… oh… say… sexually harassing people. He’s got no qualms about pretty much everything. Though on ONE occasion he refused to do something because the sight might be enough to make him lust after women. This is sometime after he’s wandered into the girls locker room to swap Naeka’s ‘old dirty underwear’ with something new… and I also believe it’s after he was removing girls panties so fast they didn’t notice, in an attempt to find the right pattern and thusly catch someone who’s after Naeka. Not to mention one of his ‘powers’ Maid Guy Eye’ lets him see through things like clothes… and he uses it rather frequently.

He laughs awesome too. Ku ku ku. All the time… aside from one or two times where he’ll do that and then actually laugh. Definitely something I’d put on my list of stuff to watch, if you like maids, or ninjas… or ninja maids… or just violence and panty shots and well ecchi content in general. Closest I can compare to is Hayate no Gotoku, just without the bajillions of anime and video game references. I’ve seen it compared to Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de as well but I’ve never seen that, it may mean something to you if you’ve seen it though. And yes, shot number four does feature the shows token loli…

The theme songs for it so far are both good. The opening is by Kotoko and I have no idea who does the ED but I like it more than the OP, by a lot. Still the OP goes FUNSHA! which is super cute, especially when it’s Kotoko… I know I’m strange.
