This show was in my PTW, mainly because I wanted to experience how travelling to Japan for a year is like. Normally I watch a slice-of-life show in order to make me feel relaxed, as it's my favourite genre. Unfortunately this show is not one of them. I *enjoyed* it for what it's worth, but yeah.
=== Positives ===
+ The opening theme is so calming, as is the ending theme. It's so cute and never forgets to put a smile on your face. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I love how Suzume hums when she cleans the dishes.
+ In some occasions, Chun the bird will make some appearances and give you some insights on how food is originated, how it's made, etc. They're very helpful, and you can learn a thing or two about them.
=== Negatives ===
- Almost nothing happens in this show. It's just about a mai…

if you love anime food, you’re definitely going to enjoy this one. It's incredibly cute and moe—perfect for just chilling out and learning a bit about Japanese cuisine. However, I did feel like the 23-minute format was a stretch. A shorter format would have suited this anime much better. I'm honestly not sure if 13-minute anime are still a thing, but it definitely would have worked perfectly here. Also, there were a few unnecessary characters who didn't really contribute anything to the story, I’m obviously not talking about Ricotta-san, just that one tanned guy who I even forgot his name.

a cute mix of a GDCT and Gourmet anime the series follow a maid (Suzume) that in Japan when the mansion she work at collapses and she going to spend the year while repair in Japan near her grandma house.
each episode is broken up into four segment each usually covering a different food or something an activate common in japan the most drama in the show is getting lost or getting overheated on a summer day
Suzume a kind, dedicated and scatterbrained woman similar to Yua, Serufu from do it Yourself or Aletta from Restaurant to another world
the anime in EMT square rich colorful art style and it at time subpar animation the voice acting is good (no English dub as of time of review)
Bottom line if you looking for a CDGT like Do it Yourself, food for the soul or a more grounded Restaura…

First series in the season I have finished watching, and let me tell you, it's great!
This is the definition of fully enjoying your life. It's simple and keeps your day at bay. You watch one episode and another to smile, to remind you that life is wonderful without thinking about anything other than food.
How did I find this?
I was browsing through MAL seasonal releases and saw this. I instantly click "planned to watch".
Who wouldn't love watching a show about a maid enjoying her daily life in an unfamiliar location by finding food? 😂
Appealing (Why did I get into the anime?)
I never talk about it in any review, but I am genuinely in love with how great the maid outfit looks in anime (especially Lupusregina from Overlord). It's one of those fantasies that I really wish I could see in r…

The Food Diary of Miss Maid is a pretty standard slice of life/cute girl anime, but even while being relatively generic and pointless in the grand scheme of things, I found it very enjoyable.
Art Style/Character Designs - 8.5
Animation - 7
Themes/Food Stuff - 8
Characters - 7
Story - 7
Music - 8
Adorableness - 10
Enjoyment - 8 As I already mentioned, there really is no "point" to this anime, we simply watch Suzume as she goes around trying all kinds of different Japanese food.
We meet several side characters throughout the episodes who tend to contribute to Suzume trying new food in some way.
All the characters in this show were generally good, I didn't dislike any of them, but there's not too much depth to them which is to be expected. If you are watching this looking for some deep sto…

I felt slight pain when the last episode Ending name frame came.
It was a nice anime. A chill slice of anime, the comedy was fine too. it's a very refreshing story. Overall i didn't felt bored or repetitive. It's actually a fine healing/slice-of-life anime. This anime not only just food eating, there's good stories, characters interaction were natural too. Overall it's a chill slice of life anime. The plot is fine.
I think you should give it a try if your bored or just wants to cool your Head. I hope it gets a season 2. it's nice story, it deserves one.I will go read the manga later, Inshallah.

Tldr: Cute girl eating delicious food (and connecting with people)
Art, Animation & Sound
Nothing extraordinary, but well done. There are many cute expressions of our lovely maid^^
Story
The story is not the strong point. It is only "for some reason our maid stays in Japan and doesn't work for a year, so she spends her time trying all kinds of delicious food". We watch glimpses of her daily life, where she mostly connects with people through food. Each episode is divided into about three parts, each showing a different situation from her daily life centered around a specific dish. Usually you learn something new about the history or the way of preparing it.
Characters
The characters aren’t complex and don’t develop much. FMC (maid) is cute, innocent, maybe naive, her best friend is kind…

This was one nice slice of life anime. Perfect for those who want to enjoy something nice and calm. Without any drama, plot twists, nudity or the rest of the known tropes. It is this anime biggest strenght and it's greatest weakness.
Animation and music: industry standard. Animation was generic but nice, it was not low quality and it was pretty stable and clean throughout the series. Music was average, nothing bad or good.
Overall - animation and music are doing their job. Nothing more and nothing less.
Characters: surprisingly a fair amount for such a simple story. But they are not developed at all, they simple exists so that X event can happen. Suzume is our FMC. She is a maid from UK and the cutest thing you can meet. She is young, innocent and a bit simple. But she has big heart and…
