Is it romantic? Maybe a little bit, not really.
Is it funny? Maybe a little bit, but not really.
Is it mildly entertaining? I guess so.
I definitely don't hate this anime, overall it's really well made!
However, I seriously don't know what the target audience is. Even if you have a huge maid and age-gap fetish, I don't think this anime has particularly much to offer. It's also not funny nor entertaining enough for slice of life fans and the story itsself it definitely not interesting enough to carry either.
Overall, it was good enough for me to watch the 11 episodes, but I wouldn't particularly captivating.

I'll start by saying that I'm not a critic. Plus, this is my first comment. It's a laid-back anime, perfect for relaxing, where you get to experience the relationship between a "master" and his maid. This relationship is very cute and enjoyable, making the series easier to watch. The animation is cute and appropriate for the genre. Unfortunately, it's not a genre that interests me much, but despite everything, I gave it a 7. P.S. I did this because there are few anime I've given a 6 or lower, and this anime doesn't deserve to be among them. Obviously, for those who love the genre, I would definitely recommend it.

Initially, this anime did remind me a lot of "You're Ms. Servant", but it's just not the same. Honestly, I don't even have a full explanation about it.
The story follows Yuuri, somewhere between 10 and 12, and Lilith, this mysterious femme de chambre aged 16-18. Gradually, a subtle feeling of affection enters between the pair. Quite often, Yuuri complements Lilith from his own innocence while she would get shy at the compliment. At other times, she is teasing Yuuri while grinding her teeth to lacerate her affection-during her care for his needs and even his feelings.
This constant blend of adorable bantering, mystery, and soft feelings maintains the storyline light yet gripping. I cannot say much without giving things away, but I would just rather su…

Whenever I finish an anime like Saikin Yatotta Maid ga Ayashii, I get that weird mix of satisfaction and sadness. It’s like… how many more beautiful stories like this are still out there waiting for me? And will I really have the time to watch them all in this lifetime? This one hit me right in that soft spot—the kind that makes you sit in silence for a few seconds after the last episode ends.
I genuinely loved this anime. It’s such a warm, light-hearted, and emotional ride that sneaks up on you. At first, I thought it was going to be another run-of-the-mill romcom with a mysterious maid trope, but oh man, I was wrong. Lilith, the maid, is not just charming and mischievous—she’s got depth. You can tell she truly cares for Yuuri, even if she hides it behind her playful teasing. And Yuuri..…

It's a show about wife beater in the making but no one seems to be noticing subtle red flags main character keeps planting on every interaction with any female. While description doesn't really describe this show as such, main character has all the tell tale signs. All the love interests are servants and they have to do what he orders, and orders are absolute. He frequently states they are his and his alone. If they displease him it's their fault and they constantly apologize and bloom on any sort of acknowledgement and/or forgiveness from main character. He gets angry when they leave the house and on those occasions he follows them jealously. All while not providing any sort of compensation to any of the servants.
Writers try to disguise this as some pure and innocent love interest. Sinc…

A young child's parents have died and he is left by his lonesome at the helm of his estate, unable to afford the servants that had previously aided his household, and so he is left alone--that is, until a young maid arrives to attend to him.
At face value this is a slice-of-life romantic comedy that is a one-trick pony: it sets up intimate moments between this young, well-endowed, exotic maid and the juvenile master of the estate that would leave your run-of-the-mill main characters flustered or bloody-nosed at the sheer suggestive nature of the rapport. This show turns this concept on its head by having the young man reciprocate the maid's intimidatingly sensual advances by dealing out compliments and sweet-nothings to her until she herself blushes. Were it a game of poker, the maid coul…

Man, this anime is just one big bundle of adorableness! I want to preface by saying that I am by no means a fan of slice of life series - I find most of them to be either very boring or way too sugar coated. This one though, I don't even know what it is specifically, but it just does it for me. If I'm ever in a bad mood, a few episodes of this will always cheer me up.
The greatest strength here is obviously the titular maid Lilith. She is very cute and lovable and her design is awesome, her brilliant purple eyes popping amazingly in the manga. She is also very mysterious though. When you don't know what's going to happen next, you can actually step into the shoes of protagonist Yuuri and be very suspicious of the maid.
Nonetheless, this is a light hearted show, so there isn't some dark…

Well,i think i'm gonna go give it (6,90) for this anime ratings. But,before some MAL gangsters or elders account come to read this. That ratings just meant that this anime is only at 'fine' level and not good enough to be in 'good' level.
Okay,moving on to story aspect. In terms of story, the development of the plot feels clumsy. Called broad development it feels too narrow and vice versa. The plot presented was rushed to completion at the end of the episode. I don't know, since what episode does the development of the story in this anime start to be unclear. In terms of characterization, even I am confused that our main character is at the elementary or high school level. For a stature that is still chibi like an elementary school child and given a romantic plot, this is certainly not th…

Honestly I have watched this anime not once but twice.
One thing I tell people before watching anime is to first search within themselves and know what they would like to watch at that particular instance.
If you wan a classic romance anime that makes you blush, this anime is perfect. I rated it 10 stars because it is pert for its genre.
The background music is on another level, the graphics is on another level. The story line is so simple, it's completely for fun and relaxation.
I always enjoy watching this and I would recommend it to anyone who just needs something to cool his head down.

What would have been a trashy ecchi anime in any other universe, turns out to be anime romance novel. What I thought would be trashy coomer bait seems to be more targeted towards girls.
It became quickly apparent to me that it was written by a woman during my viewing. This is because the show follows a general pattern of "thing happens" -> "MC compliments the maid as a result of the thing". The male MC basically just exists to compliment and make the female lead feel desired, which is what tipped me off to it being written by a woman. It's unapologetic whish fulfillment and romance.
That's not a critique perce, but I would have enjoyed the show more if I was into that kind of stuff.
I do have my criticizms however, mainly that it's too repetitive and lacks stakes. The aforemention patte…

When I finished watching this anime, I immediately marked it as completed here on the site as I usually do. One thing I noticed was the average score of this anime is extremely low for what this anime has to offer the viewer.
I was outraged, so I went to see the reviews to understand what was the issue that people were seeing in this anime, but I soon understood what was happening after seeing some reviews.
A very peculiar pattern is that most of the negative reviews had the indication of "preliminary" while the positive reviews were from people who actually completed the anime. I understand the anime is not of that incredible production level and has the appearance of being made on a very cheap budget, but that simply does not justify the low average score evaluated by users, (6.58) while…

A lot of people skip this because it isn't up to their normal anime standards, complain a lot while not daring to watch more. Yet make a huge mistake by just doing that. True, the first few episodes can seem a bit repetitive, but there is actually growth in both main characters, Lilith and Yuuri.
Story:
--------
The story starts with Yuuri all alone in his mansion, his parents died in a accident leaving him all alone (No explanation where other family are or what they do or why he's left all alone). Lilith soon arrives and doesn't tell who she is really, her name isn't even given until later episodes which does add to the mystery of who she is. Her secrets are not really given until the last few episodes which actually are well worth to see. Even can shed a tear in the very last episode…

I did not expect anything and in truth there is nothing to highlight, it's good, it's not bad and I think it's a very strange idea for an anime but it manages to entertain, from the beginning you know what will happen in this one and that there will be nothing interesting to highlight, It is the typical anime to pass the time that will make you laugh and will keep you entertained for the twelve chapters that this season or good anime has.
The main idea is of a child whose parents die and leave him with an inheritance not so big to support himself, that's why he fires all his servants to save money, however from one day to the next a girl appears who she will not charge you for her services but the only thing she wants is to be her servant, if we come to our senses this is so unlik…

Your seasonal bit of feel good fodder which has a feel good vibe to it.
Not a bad anime if you're looking for an 11 episode slice of life revolving around a pre teen kid who's innocently ignorant about the other ways he can come off when talking to his maid. It has mild comedy in it if you like the entertaining reactions to comments the MC makes which he isn't fully aware of when he makes them because he's a pre teen kind of sheltered kid with the sub genre being romance which you know there'll never be full on romance because that would just be plain paedophilia.
With the story it doesn't really progress anywhere as it's a slice of life with no end goal but to just be a nice feel good show.
The art style is nice that's used and does it's job well when it comes to characters design in the…

This show is the epitome of knowing everything that has been done with the genre, yet making an almost inferior version of it because the creative juices have all but been squeezed out to nothingness. And in case you didn't know, this Summer's Saikin Yatotta Maid ga Ayashii a.k.a The Maid I Hired Recently Is Mysterious is the 2nd anime adaptation of mangaka Wakame Konbu's works, the 1st of which was last Summer's 2-cour, 20-episode long Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! a.k.a The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated!, which was enjoyable to a certain degree with its comedy and whatnot. Sadly though, what this show offers to us is nothing more than just endless, pandering bait of the tropes done before, but un-"sus"-piciously worse in every aspect.
The "teasing" sub-genre has seen its many fair share of…
