After an entertaining first season, the show goes downhill in this follow-up. Apparently two secret organisations weren't enough because suddenly there's a third, along with a second combat maid. This season has all the hallmarks of a story that has prematurely run out of ideas, and just throws a pile of new characters in to paper over the cracks. Despite covering the remaining months before Mahoro is due to stop functioning, the story loses interest in her for almost the entire season, instead shifting the focus to this new cyborg maid Minawa (whose primary trait is that she falls over a lot) and her faltering romance with a character who manages to be even more devoid of personality than the protagonist. Those characters then vanish from the story altogether for most of the final few epi…

WARNING: This review contains minor SPOILERS
Mahoromatic: Motto Utsukushi Mono is the sequel to its predecessor, Mahoromatic: Automatic Maiden. Those who have watched the first season have probably come to love the nostalgic 90s cel art style, the lovable bunch of characters ranging from our favourite combat robot maid Mahoro to the little gourmet-cum-glutton Chizu, the uncensored bath scenes, the happy slice of life moments and the slight hints at romance interspersed with the overall plot. I watched the first season and loved every moments of it. But studio Gainax fails to deliver the same level of enjoyment in this second season.
The season picks up right where the previous one left off. Mahoro is working as a maid at Suguru's house and as we all are painfully aware, she still has a…

"I thought this was just gonna be an average Rom-com between the MC & an Android heroine but It turned out unexpectedly good & more than what I imagined It to be."
While It might seem like a fun filled Rom-com with mild ecchi scenes at first..There's actually a serious storyline behind all that Rom-Com drama which was clearly surprising..The story has a very unique feel to It which keeps you interested & makes you feel sad as each episodes go by (For an obvious reason).
Well,although outdated the Animation/Artstyle is decent enough,I would expect no less from Gainax & Shaft. <3
Has pretty good action scenes,Romance plot,Comedy & some very drastic twists towards the ending.
Season 2 felt very rushed to me but the ending was kinda beautifull.

(This review covers both seasons of the same series).
Well, I already told you info about Gainax via the previous two reviews of anime I did on them so what about this another anime studio that they collaborated with, Shaft. Shaft is known for producing such anime as the critically and somewhat fan-acclaimed Puella Magi Madoka Magica (and I actually love that show, along with the English dub of the show) and…..Dance in the Vampire Bund (thankfully, somebody already covered that show in this group) and that have collaborated more in the distant future but for Mahoromatic, this is a very mixed concept of a show that manages that can be both fascinating and very awkward.
The story is about a combat android named Mahoro has driven into guilt by her actions in her combat days want to retire…

Ok, my review doesn't only pertain to this season 2 of this anime, instead it also extend to its season 1, OVAs and it's special episodes as well. So let's get down to business:
Story: fair 6
Even if the plots only focuses on comedy, ecchi, sci-fi and drama the 3 genre's is enough to carry this anime through. Its other genre like harem, isn't much because even though this anime has a harem genre, it is not a true harem since the muchacho (male lead) only has feelings for the chiquita (female lead), the psychological genre part however is merely trivial to the overall anime.
Art: poor 3
What can I say, I really don't like the water color based paints that composes the art form of this anime.
Sound: poor 3
I just hate the opening and ending theme of this anime.
Character: fair 6
Wel…

Just finished to watch...until the last 3-4 parts it was fine...but the ending...terrible:( I don`t have any issues with "sad" or "let the people decide what kind of ending they want" style (like Elfen Lied ending, which can be happy and sad too) but this was horrible...And when I saw the manga ending...tsk....What the hell? The season 1 was superb...lots of fun, really lovely characters, it was 9/10 for me...season 2 was slightly worst, but still 8/10 until the last few parts..then it went to 1/10....I`m really disappointed :(

Mahoromatic was a great anime to watch, it wasn't because it had an exeptional story or an undefinable amount of plots.
It was because the anime have a lot of positive feelings captured in it. Practically the entire anime, both season 1 and 2 can be seen again. All the characters are drawn with a nice older touch, that is very rare in newly released anime. The Female main character is so cheerful that you can't help, letting off a little smile yourself.
I watched the series all over again when i was done, because the characters warmed my heart.
As for the story, i think it was fine for the genre, but should the creaters of this anime read this review then i pledge them to make another ending, since what was a cheerful anime to me suddenly became very sad.
So please do yourself a favor.…

PROS:
More humor
Increased character depth
Miss Shikijo is more tolerable
CONS:
The last episode is a little unsatisfying
STORY:
One of the most noticeable differences is the increase in humor. The show will have you laughing much more then the previous season, although things get even more serious towards the end then last season. personalty i really liked the lighthearted approach. It was nice to see Mahro enjoy the peace she earned at the end of the last season. ART:
The art is the same as before. There were no major differences that I noticed.
SOUND:
Bridget Hoffman once again proves her talent as a voice actor, she's even better then she was last time. Derek Stephen Prince did an outstanding job as
Suguru
I enjoyed the music more this time. I especially liked the opening theme,…

When I first started watching Mahoromatic I mistakenly considered it a light and fluffy piece of anime with just enough eechi in it to keep interest up. And in the beginning it was light and fluffy. But I fell into a trap; many great anime series started out light and slowly evolved into something completely different; Neon Genesis Evangelon and Trigun for examples.
I thought at first it was a bit sad to remind the viewers at the end of every episode how many days Mahoro has left to live, and unlike western programs I know the Japanese aren't going to find a magic way to save her but in the end it worked for the best.
The story I rated 9 - it was very entertaining, with a lot of humor and sweetness to make you fall in love with Mahoro, but as the story develops it becomes richer with mo…

I think Japanese television is superior to American television. I do. I think that Japanese anime is truly great and because they limit most of their shows to one or two seasons, they allow for great stories with conclusions and romance and moral lessons that you could never get in America, where all that matters is extending the life of every show until people stop watching it.
However, there is also something negative that, unfortunately, inherently comes with anime as well: incredibly bad endings. It’s almost unfathomable how every now and then, you can watch a perfectly normal show and then be greeted with an ending so egregiously bad, that you are actually laughing out loud. To date, I’ve never watched an American show and laughed at a really bad ending, but I’ve wat…

Mahoromatic seasons 1&2 where a buetiful blend with some classy acting from genoen. With some kick arse action scenes and smut humor :o, i enjoyed every moment of it, and i really felt for the charecters.
So much so that this series has made me cry the hardiest then any other anime
Remember kids, 15+ please ;P
