After catching a lesbian pedophile stare at his daughter, the real hero of this story, mr. papa went and hired her as a maid. Thanks to him, we now have a shojo ai anime about a lolicon maido and she is really into small girls. This is why the word "perfectness" was invented. The single best part of this show is the real main lolicon target girl who is half russian and whenever she is being assaulted (with overwhelming amount of love and warm feelings) by the maido, we hear some generic russian songs and they are really uplifting. The OST is just fantastic, bestone and most ruski score since Girls Und Panzer.

Ultimately, this is a comedy series, and the animation details highly serve this idea. Be it love arrows piercing the maido's hearto or side characters doing chuunimoe dance moves when teasing little girls, lots of detail is put in the visuals and it plays a big part in making this series so damn fun and entertaining to watch. The comedy side of this show is simply hilarious.

Since the series is just slice of life with comedy elements, nothing of real importance really happens story-wise. Character interaction and character-centric goofs are put in a spotlight and they tend to radiate comfy and cuteness. And once again, those who are into this type of shit will have very few reasons to not love it. Maido is actually some sort of elite soldier, but she got unemployed. Now she is using her training to spy on our girl by climbing telephone poles and holding her breath for an hour just to see her bath. What is real important to note here is that this is much closer to 2pure4this world than lewd, and it exists to warm the hearts of its viewers. I, for one, have been forming sushi rolls with my blanket when viewing this for maximum comfy.

However, more serious aspect also exists in the series, which is entirely relying on the main loli's feelings as she is dealing with some heavy concepts, the main one being the death of her mother. The series can at times get quite feels-stuff regarding this subject, and while these are often followed by maido drowning her in hugs and warmness, the series is not just all happy and goofy comedy, and this other side has played out rather well so far. In fact, it's rather unique concept to insert inside a comfy comedy series and it surely works here.

Conclusions: so damn cute = 10 letters = 10/10.

This season we have another anime about a pedophile, aren’t we tired of the same stuff? The most significant change is making the pedophile a female, pretty smart none will notice a lolicon maid being a pedophile. Well, is not clever, but I am giving the author some credit for trying something new. Honestly, I was surprised in the first episodes. The show was enjoyable, original, hilarious. After some episodes, I noticed the series re-used the same joke every time to have the comedy afloat. The anime that we praised became boring, irrelevant, and in the end, it is just another series that will beforgotten as an average comedy because the director does not hurry the pace of the main plot.

The plot is very straightforward with languid pacing because they focused more on the jokes than in the story itself. A lolicon maid falls in love with a young girl because she hasn’t her first period *roll my eyes* Yes, it is funny haha – I tried to laugh but I couldn’t, sorry. So, this maid became a stalker that follows the girl every time, asks for marriage (most all the time), she disguises to be with her. It is fun. The maid enthusiasm combined with the girl repulsion is hilarious. Sadly, since the same joke is repetitive, I got tired. Maybe I expected too much; the first episode delivered an animation quality out of the chart. That is very unusual for a comedy, but the plot quality at the end wastes the animation quality, and the show is now average. You can blame me and send me back into the medieval bonfire, but this show is boring and stupid. In the middle of the series since the first maid lacked humor, the author has the ingenious idea of adding a second maid with some masochism behavior. However, this does not change anything, now we have two perverts for the price of one, and both do not fill the comedy moments showed from the beginning.

On the other hand, Misha, the girl, has a bright personality, and she is the only character that has some development during the story. She is charming, cheerful and is trying to continue her life after the death of her mom. Misha hates the lolicon maid aka Tsubame who has a bizarre personality, and Misha elaborates plans to get Tsubame fired. The maid is a stalker, lolicon, pedophile, she is a hard worker and wants to marry Misha. That is delightful. However, the constant repetition is tedious because in certain parts Misha looks like a person with schizophrenia awaiting Tsubame's assault. Perhaps that was the reason for adding three secondary characters to refresh the plot. Those are Midori aka the extra maid with a twisted personality. Mimika aka glasses and probably Misha’s best friend and since the MC needs someone that challenge her, they added Yui, that always wants to compete with Misha. About Tsubame, I wanted to know more about her but we got some sporadic scenes about her past, so her background is incomplete, sadly.

One important aspect of this series is the animation, and it is impressive in the first episodes. Although, the quality changes and now is a mix of beautiful and weird. There are certain parts were the characters are rough and ugly and are more appreciable in the second half of the series. If we check the colors are very bright and charming. The palette is pleasant to the eye, and a lot of spectators will feel the series warming.

The sound is very nice. The OST is very vivid and helps to catch the spectator in the hilarious moment. The OP and ED are average, but the rhythm buried the lyrics, however.

Finally, my verdict is average (5). I liked the first episodes and was near to give the series an 8 – 9. Nonetheless, after the half, I notice that the fun disappears. It is an alarm if you get rid and tired of the same jokes because the comedy fails. “Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru” issue is the lack of an outcome when it is needed. I disagreed when some persons said me that this show does not have a plot but is a combination of jokes. The show has a plot (Misha life after the death of her mom, that’s why her dad gets happy when Misha wants to share anything new with him, Tsubame life in the air force, how did she lose her eye, was Midori involved? That is called a plot) but if the director takes too much time deciding when to advance the main plot (last episode), that is another thing.

Japan loves their maids and it’s not too hard to see why. In their world, maids are much more than just eye candy but portrayed as individuals who treats others with respect, dignity, and care. In the Western world, people will probably see maids differently. Watching Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru brings out an absurd side of the maid culture that I didn’t realize I wanted. Also known as “Our Maid is Way too Annoying”, the show doesn’t intend to hide its intentions from the very start. The first few episodes immediately sets off some red flags as we meet Tsubame Kaomi. She’s a former JSDFfighter pilot and now serves a young girl named Misha Takanashi. In no less than a single episode, we discover Tsubame’s unhealthy obsession towards Misha. At every chance, she tries to initiate some intimate moment between them. The teases ranges from sneaking into baths, proposing marriage, and always trying to be at the same place. It’s the type of humor that can make or break for the viewers.

Because let’s face it, this show’s plot is more of a deconstruction of the maid culture. In real life, maids wouldn’t ever behave in the way that Tsubame does. However, this anime made it clear that Tsubame genuinely cares about Misha’s well-being. From many instances, she comes to her aid when the young girl needs it the most. On the other hand, Misha begins to accept Tsubame more and more despite responding in a tsundere fashion. I should point out that Tsubame definitely leaves hair-raising moments for Misha and it’s not easy to accept her as a maid. Tsubame’s actions speaks louder than words whenever she shows affection towards her. This also extends to another character later on in the show named Midori. The catch is that Midori’s affections are pointed at Tsubame while the latter seems indifferent about them. Amusement ensues.

Yet despite the reception, this anime can be entertaining to watch when you get attached to the character chemistry between Misha and Tsubame. That is, you’d have to accept them as a pair from the start. There’s no overwhelming character development for either character but it’s shown that they grow to care more and more about each other with every passing episode. There’s also a variety of humorous gags used as comedy stands out as one of the main selling points. It’s pretty cartoonish most of the times that even feels like black comedy. I’m not going to lie, Tsubame’s obsession sometimes borderlines on pedophilic tendencies. Although the show doesn’t really step foot into such category, some of the humor can really be exaggerated. On the other hand, you could definitely watch this show with the intention of absorbing the humor. A lot of it is played for laughs that does what it intends to do: show the audience a different side of maid behavior in Japan. The show is just so damn playful that it’s impossible not to laugh once or twice every episode.

While the plot feels almost nonexistent, there’s some actual characterization with the main characters. The background stories of Tsubame and Midori are explored in details that makes us understand where they came from. The same can be applied to Misha although it’s shown in less vivid details. But honestly, don’t jump into this show with the intention of some interesting plot. The storytelling is mediocre at best and a poorly executed joke at worst. It’s the type of plot that adheres to comedic misadventures with almost every episode being a story of its own. This even extends to Misha’s life at school as she hangs out with her friends. Self-proclaimed rival Yui Morikawa also brings in some oddball drama based on her own perceptions. But seriously, don’t try to invest yourself into this show’s plot.

Doga Kobo’s track record with slice of life content have relatively been regarded as safe and fluffy. Some of their anime also associates with shoujo-ai and it’s not hard witness those moments. This show actually jumps a bit over itself compared to their other works so I was surprised they would take such a project. The 4-koma itself also contains the absurd humor. Not to mention, the character designs are portrayed with care to make the maids look larger than life. Tsubame is a character that no one can take eyes off of whether it’s her personality, stylish maid outfit, or having a ripped body that few can match. This is a sharp contrast to Misha who wants to be as normal as possible as a child. On most parts, the show maintains a balanced art style although the comedy segments can go over the top at times. Character expressions often jumps overboard and the easiest finger to point at is Tsubame. Her affections are shown through the way she blushes and expressing her undying love in the most absurd of ways. The same can be applied to Midori towards Tsubame so you’d better get used to it. I should also point out that Tsubame’s VA did a flawless job at portraying her character. Sure, she’s not a realistic maid to accept but one that definitely gets the job done when it comes to selling her personality.

It’s not an easy show to recommend but that’s ok. When I first decided to watch this series, I had no intention of expecting anything groundbreaking considering its premise and style. It took me perhaps more than half the show to truly accept what this series is capable of. Don’t get me wrong though. Once I embraced the humor, it became a show that I didn’t realize I wanted. This all depends on how you commit to this series as you can easily quote a line or two after watching. But for me, I want to watch more annoying maids doing annoying things.

This is a show about a pedophile. There's absolutely no debate about that fact, but I suppose there could be discussion on whether UzaMaid actually promotes pedophilia or not; in my opinion, it strays over the line that separates "protected" media (ie, media that displays immoral things objectively or simply for entertainment) from "WTF is this icky crap" (ie, media that glorifies the immoral/illegal/disgusting). In point of fact, the Maid in question says well over a dozen times that she isn't attracted to any girl who has had her first period. This is also shown in flashbacks at least twice. In every episode she alsodoes illegal and morally dubious (at BEST) actions, such as sneaking into the bath of an 8-year-old, recording her sleeping, stalking her at school, rubbing her underwear, stealing clothes, collecting her hair, etc etc and so on.

So, pedophile.

I actually felt dirty watching UzaMaid at times, because every episode had a couple sequences that were just so...wrong. And not in a naughty way: I mean dirty in the way you feel after you accidentally pick off a mushy scab in the shower and it gets stuck under your fingernail.

So why did I finish the show? Two reasons: the first is that I adore Doga Kobo to the point half my favorites list are productions by them. It's even better because I didn't realize they were behind all those anime until I accidentally noticed this about a week ago (which is why I began UzaMaid in the first place..."it must be good, right!?") The second is that UzaMaid has two underlying strands that are IMMENSELY compelling: very good situational humor and a heartrending dramatic subplot that rui--ahem, is portrayed in the last three episodes. If some fan were to remove all the pedo scenes this would be a fantastic anime.

UzaMaid could E A S I L Y have stood on its own merits without all the fucking nasty shit Kamoi gets up to. Kamoi herself is a unique character; she's a military veteran who's totally jacked but also looks great in a maid outfit. She's smart, athletic, looks good, and has shockingly-deep backstory. The loli around whom Kamoi helicopters is animated well, voiced better, and has a strong enough personality to carry the series herself. All the supports are great too!

It's actually heartbreaking, unironically. Like, who is UzaMaid supposed to appeal to? Normies will be utterly revolted by the pedophilia. Studio fans like me will hopefully be able to pretend that stuff isn't there and enjoy what's left, but will be wondering why it exists in the first place. And the third group, well, pedos don't get to have an opinion because monsters aren't people. So it's GOT to be that UzaMaid exists only to appeal to those subhumans, in my opinion, which means it's a piece of shit not worth watching even if you love Doga Kobo.

At first looking at this anime, i thought it was another generic maid genre anime with bit of comedy added to it. Boy i was proven wrong. So what do you get when you put in a introvert shut in Russian Loli and a hardcore Military retired Maid with a ripped body (and i mean really ripped) who is a hardcore lolicon together? A total Blast of slap stick comedy filled with lolicon moments and scenarios and i mean in a really enjoyable way including good touching and emotional moments in between. The Show basically revolves around Misha (the loli) who has started being a shutin and introvert due to her mothers recent demise and given upon a normal life. As her father yasuhiro is mostly busy with work and wants someone to take care of the house and Misha, he hires for help, and enters our Lady Tsubame the ex-military officer who applies as a maid and damn she is the very definition of lolicon, assaulting on Misha everyday with her undying love for her through various ways like preparing delicious food and trying to help her in some other ways , and misha obviously revolted with tsubame's lolicon fetish trying to escape her antics but sometimes falling for her tricks such as her cooking and getting surprised by Tsubame's Military prowess and techniques all presented in a really good comical manner.

There are also funny moments where there are lines and scenarios which might make it awkward or a bit uncomfortable but if you really have a high tolerance of comedy you will really enjoy it.

The Best part of this series in my opinion is its not all rainbows and sunshine, because they add some really good, relatable emotional and touching scenes for example misha's memories with her mother , and her current personality due to her mothers death, and the viewers can really feel the emotion of the moment, but the flow of the story is so good that when the scene continues and it goes into lighter and comical moments quickly the viewers can enjoy the rest of the entire episode too and also indulge and savor the emotional part of the episode as well, which made me hooked on to this series.

The last Episode just proves that and was done really well.

Talking about Art, Doga Kobo works usually are one of the best. The animation is really good, the expressions, and the flow of it is top notch. Detailed drawing like Tsubame's weird but funny lolicon imaginations and Presenting her Ripped toned body which brings out her manly side in a funny way for the viewers and other aspects of the story which the audience will notice when they watch the series.

As for the Sound, Haruka Shiraishi the VA for Misha and Manami Numakura the VA for Tsubame have done an amazing job for the characters, The op "Uzauza☆Waosu!" and the End "Tokimeki Climax" are both sung by the VA's.

"Tokimeki Climax" being my favorite which is sung from Tsubame's perspective is too good , its really catchy and enjoyable to hear and watch. :D

Character wise Tsubame is really my favorite, She has a multi talented character development, where she is a high classed trained individual but succumbs to her love of little girls especially misha and totally loses it at times, but is totally dependable, mature and sometimes a mother like figure totally a refreshing sight for a female Mc.

Misha is also really good with her cute, shy , introvert and her inner gamer personality which some people can relate to. She can be really funny while reacting to tsubame's advance and tactics and her reactions are priceless.

In the end i would say if you are looking for a story or a anime with a powerful hidden message or story , then no this isn't something you should watch, But for a good refreshing slice of comedy with the element of lolicon, weird, cringey comedy (in a good way) and a bit of emotional, serious moments, which people who like humor will enjoy and to sit, back relax & be entertained then yes this really a recommended watch .

Well... i tried this show just to the try, expecting nothing and even then, well, dropped, for two good reasons, i think pervs some times are kind of funny, even in the most incomprehensible way, other most ilogical way to show this behavior, the perv is sometimes even necesary fot the story. Im not aganist the pedo IN THE ANIME (just in anime, real-life pedos are dangerous persons) also, sometimes im a bit of a lolicon, and apreciate the beauty of a little anime girl, or even a little anime boy.... when i seen the cover of this title, i get atracted by the blond, green eyedRusian loli and actually picked mi atention. The first episode wasa nut in the gut, i found the muscled women kind of displeasing, and the caracter was obviously masculine (i think the produces didnt allow to go with butler instead of maid)BUT i tough again, lets wait, its not total shit, it seems like there is a past in this mess, and then, i endured (because thats what i did) the ridiculous amount of molesting, the lack of common sense, and the completely asshole maid for an entire episode.Lets make some clarifications... im not a progresist, but for the sake of god, that was horrible, the half-brain father who leaves the child in hands of someone clearly dangerous, the lack of comon sense in the maid was faraway from the line that marks afection and sexual abuse, and lack of sensitivity to not to be a nuisance...

"I'm not interested in anyone who already had his first period"

Wait.... WTF? lets be clear, since inocence is a great present from heaven given to the children, its inocence that makes them wonderful, loveable, and put inside everyone of us some kind of protection instinc that makes us preserve their smiles, its ok to feel like that.... BUT, when you are becoming a sexual harraser, who openly admits that you are sexually atracted to children, and start saying things like that, better get the fuck of the children, search for help, and do not touch them. I understand that this is an anime caracter and no-child has been harmed, but its the caracter itself that makes me cringe, because the show happens as if those toughs are nothing, and this kind of behavior is normal and everyting is fine with begin like that...THAT IS NOT OK

While the second and third episodes were actually fine, (the got deeper into the story and relationship, the espeectator become to understand more of the caracters, etc...) and i actually thought that they were geting the best part of the show....

how wrong i was... after the 4th episode, the show fall into more sexual harrasment, more spine-chilling behavior (they add a new caracter in 6th episode) perversion badly presented and threated in the show, and behind a "everithing its ok" smoke screen the caracters actually are talking of adult thing (SERIOUSLY ADULT THINGS) in front of grade school girls.

The show is dangerous, do not touch it

If you talk about controversy surrounding this season and the subject is not Goblin Slayer then you are probably talking about this anime. The set-up is straight up uncomfortable. Tsubame wants to get a new job after working in the air-force and comes across the house of Misha. After her mother died Misha became an enormous brat and a neet who terrorised all her maids. Then Tsubame becomes the maid of her and Misha is ready to terrorize her too. That doesn't happen, instead it happens vice versa. Tsubame is an enormous female lolicon and she took this job just to care for this cuterussian girl. Misha, ofcourse, doesn't like it and now she has to survive in the hands of this lolicon maid.

It is Obvious why this anime has controversy surrounding it: A series about the practises of an lolicon is not particular comfortable for many (I hope), so people rightfully so point that out. So here is my take on it: The lolicon stuff is heavily implied and joked about, but never really practised. There is no disgusting fanservice like in Eromanga Sensei. The closest thing you are gonna get to that are the abs of Tsubame and those abs makes you want to stay more then leave. Second,

So in short: While the implications are uncomfortable, it isn't that uncomfortable when you think about it.

So what's beyond the story? (oh yeah the story is a 7/10)

Art: 8/10

While the later episodes have nice animation it doesn't compare to episode 1. Holy smokes the animation is amazing. Sakuga is abused like my little sister and it looks amazing. The expressions are hilarious, the visual gags are fun and the artstyle is just pleasant.

Sound: 7/10

...mwah it is serviceable. I like the russian music and the opening and ending aren't too shaby. Nothing great, nothing bad.

Character: 8/10

Tsubame is just great. She is an extreme lolicon and she doesn't try to hide it, but she also is really ripped with amazing. She can also be really dependable at times like a true mother, which is a great contrast to her lolicon traits.

Enjoyment: 8/10

Even if I felt uncomfortable at times, the humor is just way to good to stay uncomfortable. There is so many good jokes in this anime and the comedic timing is just exceptional. Even the more heavy stuff succeeded to leave an impact on me.

Overall: 8/10

Yeah I know I talked about the lolicon themes a tiny bit too much, but I think that was the most important thing to adress. This anime can be uncomfortable, but if you look past that you have an amazing anime with great humor and great animation.

I think perverts in anime can be funny. I understand some people don't share that sentiment, but there have been a decent amount of characters in anime that do it right. From the sensei who teaches his young boy students martial arts while trying to avoid showing his excessive perversion to women when said boys are around (and slips most of the time leading to funny moments of the boys being either confused or judgemental). To the eccentric mangaka-sensei who has adult female students and asks for "references" for his drawings. To the dirty teenage female student who wants to liberate a dystopian future which hasbanned all porn and perverted jokes and words. To the group of boys who attend an all-girls school and who get sent to the school's personal prison in fear of their boyish charms rubbing off on everyone. To the man who's entire premise is wanting to bang a female hamster, with sadly hilarious moments of inner-turmoil and bizarre reactions.

Yessir, I like 'em all. While it is wrong to actually perv on people in real life, watching said acts done in a variety of ways may be entertaining to watch; not necessarily cause you sympathize with those jerks or you find the idea of perversion to be justified, but because they have actions and traits that define them more dominantly, have limits on how far they go with their perversion, or have the sh*t kicked out of them for some well-served justice.

With that being said, I think Uchi no Maid does perversion in the wrong way.

The pervert is an adult women, perving on a child, who has no say in the matter and has no way of fighting back or escaping her; and while at first it might seem that the maid's affections are purely those of a woman doting on a cute little Russian girl, you'll find out quick that's not the case. Woman's thirsty AF, yo. She constantly asks the kid to marry her, while she tries to see her naked or kidnaps her on trips in attempts to bond and spend time with her. Lady tries to incorporate most of her time tormenting the kid with her presence and lack of understanding of personal space. It doesn't come off as the least bit charming or endearing, I just wanted her to leave the poor kid alone. Doesn't help that the dad that hired that woman never gets his own daughter's message that this woman literally wants her as her child bride.

It doesn't matter how much depth and traits they give the lady later on with having the child feel sympathetic to her or having sad music play when she reveals about her troubled past as a war veteran. She still has no concept of personal space or the word "No" given by a kid who's probably not gay and who's not interested in a bulky woman-handling.

The child though, that's the best thing this series has going for it. Her attitude, her interactions with her friends, her pets, her interests and hobbies, it's all funny and cute. Had the show taken a different angle to this girl's life without having the annoying maid be the catalyst to her personal development, this show could have been fun to watch overall.

I'm doubtful this show will not go any other way but having the maid become the most sympathetic and understanding character by the end of the series, and that would mean the child she harassed would grow to like her. For now, I'll continue to watch this poor kid get tormented and HOPEFULLY never succumb to the maid's pervy ways, cause that part of the show is kinda funny. I’m hoping, however, that this show's idea of developing this maid to become liked by the child will not become a reality by the end, otherwise this sticks to being a horrible example of perversion in anime.

Wow, what a great anime! Let's start with the most important thing: the loli. The loli here is very cute and funny as well as lovable. If you love cute lolis, funny lolis, or even both, you're in for a treat. There are some other lolis than the main loli here as well, if you're into other lolis or more lolis. But personally, the main loli is so good I don't even need any other lolis. The protagonist is very relatable, which really helps the viewer to immerse in the world of the story. Definitely the sentiments, feelings and motives behind the protagonist's actions will resonate withmany. If you like animes with relatable protagonists such as Bocchi the Rock! or Baki the Grappler, then this is definitely something for you.

There is a lot of cute and funny scenes here and the overall tone of the show is comedic, but the last 2 episodes take a darker and more serious turn. Without spoiling anything, the show delivers an important message - that a caring and attentive adult can help an alienated child deal with trauma and other issues, such as societal alienation.

I would rate it higher, but the other maid character (the submissive hag) that shows up halfway is annoying, and her bits are the weakest part of the show. It would be better if it was just a deep character study of a relationship between the loli and her maid.

This anime is morbid, yes there is no fan service or things like that but the humor is seedy More you watch more it's become disturbing... Yes lolis are cute, I am also a lolicon sometimes... but the maid should be in prison,.. It's not disturbing when they are pervets in anime, that can be funny but here the jokes are really morbid.. On the first episode it's okay, that pass On the 2-3 we have character development but the humor becomes more and more seedy... In addition, the characters are awful, the loli is just a loli and she is the only reasonable character of the story, the maid is apedo, not a lolicon, she harass the loli kidnaps her and invades her privates space.

the father is irresponsible, he doesn't listen his daughter at all,

the lieutenant is passable

the art is good, in the average

the sound is great, and the opening cute and awesome

but this anime isn't sane

I quite enjoyed this show at first, it was right up my alley. Cute characters, funny and overall no real story. Just the type of show I would enjoy. However, it quickly became a boring mess. The jokes got really repetitive and it turned into a chore to watch after about 5/6 episodes. The characters lost their appeal and it started to take multiple sittings to get through an episode. What little soundtrack there was, was pretty bad. I don't usually take much notice of soundtracks, but this show was so quiet. It was just voice acting a lot of the time without any musicto go with it. Just complete silence at times. What little music that actually was added was extremely simple. Yeah shows like these don't usually need a solid soundtrack to go along with it, but a good ost will really bring out the enjoyment of the show. It was disappointing to see wasted potential

Apart from that, it was cute and colourful. Overall i wouldn't recommend people to watch this. There are much nicer slice of life shows out there to spend your time on.

*no spoilers ahead* There's not much that can be said about this show, as there is very little of substance. At the core of it though, this is just another poke at the wide valley of mediocrity. So, here we go, starting off with the good first: The art, music and voice acting are pretty good (although they REALLY overuse the horror music track). Overall feel is pretty decent too. That is all. Now, the bad.. And there's way more of it BUT... Its still not enough to make the show bad, although definitely enough to not make it good. Lack of story. This can't be stated hardenough, there's literally nothing there. Now then, that in itself is not always a bad thing, plenty of comedies pull it off pretty well with even less than this show does, the way this one is structured simply does not allow it to. Mainly, until about the half point, there's just two main characters in the show, with two more side characters that have very little screen time. Then a third more or less main character shows up, as well as another side character and it does make it a bit better, but still, without intense comedy and no story, the overall entertainment value and engagement is quite low.

Since i just touched on comedy, i'll get back to it again - yes, there's very little of it. Or rather there's very few jokes that actually hit hard. They're still there, in fact when it works it can be pretty good, but for the majority of the time it isn't, usually being light humor, with the jokes being too flat, stretched, or the disturbing nature of the main character (maid A) taking away from it. Speaking of, this is probably the biggest, and worse point of this anime - its disturbing nature. Now don't get me wrong, perversion and lolicon can be hilarious in anime, and in fact it USUALLY is, but definitely not here. And what separates this from how it usually is you ask?

Context. In most shows the stuff is a passing or recurring joke that shows up here and there. Here its the WHOLE PREMISE! The story goes like this - a shy Russian-Japanese loli (named Misha, although that's a MALE'S name in Russian, so go figure) who lost her mother and has only an overworked father to support her, becomes difficult due to this and also becomes a shut in. The father hires a maid (a new one, the girl chased all the previous ones away) to take care of her. She also happens to be an ex soldier, and is an extreme lolicon, and is also entirely open about it (yeah, good job there dad)! And from there on, she's hired and is always around, thus its nonstop harassment and violation of personal space, with sexual harassment, sneakiness, stalking, lying and all sorts of manipulation included, the whole package of abuse, hooray!

So yes, even if this show would be a 10/10 otherwise, this alone would take a lot of points off for me, but since it isn't.. We are where we are. Things only start getting somewhat less frequently disturbing when somewhat after the half mark the third character shows up and offloads some screen time, as well as the current situation becoming 'normal', but its still too little too late. Overall i'd give this a solid 5, maybe a 6, but i doubt it'd deserve it, after all, for a comedy, the comedy aspect is really weak (even if it does work at the start, its pretty much the same joke repeated, so it gets old and less funny extremely fast, and the creepy way its implemented and the protagonist being unable to escape it really takes away from it too, as i mentioned), and there's little else there.

Short spoiler free review: Do you like lolis? Do you like little russian girls? Are you a pedophile? If you answered yes to one or more of the questions above, well then this anime is for you! Sometimes its animes like these that actually make me wonder what Japan can get away with putting in an anime. The story itself is quite funny, but when I take a good second to think about it, its actually quite fucked up, but that doesnt make the anime any less enjoyable. The art style the anime uses for the characters is pretty generic, but it still makes the MCs cute nonetheless.I also enjoy the music and the soundtrack (also has some russian-like OST added in there).

Overall I give it a solid 7/10. Watch it if you want some giggles and a good time. <3

It's really great to see when the comedy surpasses expectations. although it is rather a controversial theme lolicon / pedophilia, I really think that in animations these themes can pass, just as a murderer or a thief can win the sympathy of the public in fiction, our heroine Kamoi can either, being a character that transits between this forbidden area saying really disgusting phrases, and a love that resembles the maternal love. The other characters are also quite caricature though complex, with feelings and reactions quite human. The anime knows when to hold you for a serious situation, when to be funny, and when tomake fun of your own absurd situations. Very well written characters, beautiful animation and music, a lot of fun in general.

Excuse me, but what is wrong with you Japan? This is one of the worst animes I've ever seen and I only watched 4 episodes before quitting. I can talk about the non-existent story (which is expected in slice of life animes) or the mediocre sound design, but that isn't what the biggest problem is with this anime: the characters. Misha, the little girl is cute and interesting, she also has to deal with a personal trauma (which I won't spoil), so there is no problem here. Tsubame, the maid on the other hand is a full blown pedophile. She isn't a lolicon as the trailersuggested, she is sexually attracted to little girls and that is funny I guess? Misha's father, Yasuhiro is a very bad parent who doesn't even realize that the maid is a sexual predator. The first 2 episodes were about how Misha is trying to avoid Tsubame at all costs. In the later episodes there are no further character development, just more bad jokes and kid harrassment. I could not recommend this anime to anyone, unless you are a total creep.

I'm all for lolicon jokes in anime, but this anime is disgusting and wrong on so many levels, so that is why I gave this bad score to it.

Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru is a pretty good anime, I have to say I overall enjoy it, mostly because it not only focuses on the character development, but its side characters too. I like Misha and Tsubame's relationship because Tsubame sometimes feels like a mother figure to Misha, and sometimes it's just plain lolicon comedy I never fail to laugh at. I'm eager to see how this will turn out, but it's definitely my favorite anime of the season. Story 7/10 For a plain comedy, this anime has its contrast between being hilarious and sometimes even serious, although Tsubame's lolicon-like attitude can sometimes get repetitive anda little over the top.

Art 6/10

The art is pretty decent, artstyle seems pretty good, it's moe and I like that. I still can't believe how the animators coped with Tsubame's overly athletic figure, I admire them for that.

Sound 10/10

I'm not overreacting here, both opening and ending songs got stuck in my head over only one episode, and the ED easily became my favorite song.

Character 8/10

Just like I said, I like how the anime portrays Tsubame as a mother figure, and a lolicon at the same time, it gives the show a unique feel, seeing how the two react to eachother. It's just hilarious.

Enjoyment 10/10

I recommend this, even if it's not finished yet, it's worth the wait because it'll never disappoint you, then again it just depends on what kind of person you are so no promises! :D

Simply put, this anime is like a blend of An Angel Flew Down to Me and Dragon Maid. AAFDM was actually made by the same studio that made this anime, but managed to get more attention through marketing or some other trickery. While often a genre that people the FBI has an affinity for, viewers who have no intimate interest in underage anime girls can still find enjoyment in the less perverted and more wholesome moments. The Bad: Subjectively, if you like things pertaining to lolis. The ethics of such a thing is another argument entirely. This is just a review of the quality of a showthat revolves around the subject.

Characters besides the main loli character act in a completely unrealistic manner, which isn't a complete gamebreaker for a comedic show. There's comedic anime that have realistic acting characters who still manage to be funny, this just isn't one of them.

There's some rare moments where anatomy looks all kinds of fucked up, particularly when a younger character moves in fast/unique motions, or when the maid who's as ripped as Arnold Schwarzenegger in his steroid days is viewed from specific angles. Again, this is rare and 95% of the animation is fine.

The good:

Right off the bat, the OP/ED is a bop.

A lot of the comedy managed to get a laugh out of me, so it succeeds in being a comedy.

The characters, while lacking in many aspects, have unique and interesting backstories. I won't go into deails as you should just watch the show for yourself if you're curious, but it's not anything similar to the characters I've seen in the dozens of other anime I've watched.

The ending is actually pretty heartfelt and wholesome, almost got some tears out of me. Sadly, this heartfelt moment ends pretty quickly and goes back to the already plenty abundant perversion.

It has a muscular mommy-esque character so that's like an immediate +1 score, right?

In the end, watch it if you like lolis or AAFDTM, maybe watch it if you liked Dragon Maid. If you didn't like either of these shows, but like comedic anime, watch this with a grain of salt and don't feel obligated to stick with it if it doesn't catch your interest in the first one or two episodes. While the ending was pretty good, it's not really worth watching all the episodes if you don't like this stuff. There's very little if any character progression shown in the characters.

Cute & funny seem to be the best works to use as a description ! Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru! was a refreshing anime, with very original characters such as the crazy loli lover maid or the masochistic bipolar friend. Even though, it is not perverted, vulgar or anything misplaced like that. Only remained the humour, with a crazy relationship between the main characters. I'm glad they actually managed to answer every questions in the last episode (Kamoi & Misha's pasts especially) and created a decent conclusion. It won't need any additional episode or volume. However, the episodes might be a bit repetitive, since the characters involvedin the whole anime aren't several. Most episode consist in Misha doing stuff (going to school, going to camping, going shopping, going on vacation etc) with Kamoi following them and always appearing as a funny guardian-lover. I really liked when Midori showed up, it gave a second tone to the atmosphere. Indeed, her bipolar nature (both sado-masochistic & very serious woman) made everything funnier and built a kind of "loving triangular", which was totally appropriated here !

Anyway, except for the last episode that has a sad effect (with a relieving conclusion though), every other episode was a good moment.

Great anime overall, could be watched whenever your mood is going a bit down !

Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru! or uzamaid! for short is a comedy + slice of life anime. from the studio that also known for yuru yuri, gabriel dropout, gekkan shoujo nozaki kun, and himouto-umaru chan. Yes dogakobo, dogakobo is always serve us with a hillarious, chill and heartwarming anime. MAXIMUM COMFINESS!!. a quick story recap, this anime is about a russian little girl named misha that lost her mom, and a former soldier woman named kamoi, the main story is focused about relationship between these two, since i've already tell you above, that this anime is slice of life comedy, you can't relymuch on the story, but definetely "there is a story", especially on the last 2 episode where everything suddenly turns intense.

the comedy itself is kinda weak i must say, if we compare it to dogakobo's previous released title such as yuru yuri, gekkan shoujo, love lab, gabriel drop out, etc. sometimes the comedy getting repetitive, they keep repeating same pattern so you can guess what's gonna happens next, i know i know.. these repetitive patterns are commonly used in anime nowadays, but yeah to be honest, i laugh at some moment.

this show definetely had some fanservice, but a light fanservice..

well yeah it doesn't matter tho, since it's not an ecchi anime in the first place, but these are pedobait fanservice, so for those lolicons out there, you can feel grateful, this anime is definetely for you.

okay lets move on to the quality..

the animation is.. how do i put it, "cute and fluffy", yeah its enjoyable, but at some point you can see mostly in the middle of the series its somewhat rough and you can tell the quality is dropping a bit, but it's okay tho.. its not that bad, the best quality is on the first and the last episode.

the sound is okay, the opening.. yeaaah... it's just like a common moe comedy anime out there, nothing outstanding, the ending is kinda annoying, so i mostly skip the ending haha. nothing much i can say about the music, since its a slice of life + comedy, and you don't need overly outsanding music.

recap:

yeah, overall it's still enjoyable as a comfy anime, tho you probably would feel unfomfortable at some light fanservice scene (if you are not a lolicon), and the quality is a bit inconsisten sometimes, the repetitive comedy pattern sometimes makes it boring (i know the purpose is to develop the character's identity)..

This show would have benefited greatly from either being more wacky or being more grounded. As it is, it occupies an uncanny middle ground. The story would have worked better if the maid were just clingy and overprotective. Making her a real weirdo detracted from the suspension of disbelief. Even if the writer wanted to keep that aspect, her lolicon fetishes should have been expressed to the audience through internal narration, rather than spoken aloud all the time. I wanted to like this show more than I did. The animation is good. The ending song sequence is oddly catchy. Voice actingis great. Many of the sound cues are overused, which is really distracting when you watch the series in one sitting.

There's a lot of missed potential. She could have trouble kicking old military habits and behaviors. Keep an overly rigorous training regimen. Have quirky military buddies interfere with her new life, rather than just the one masochist. Could have had an episode where extended family they've never met want to take the girl away. Maybe some antics like Sousuke from Full Metal Panic. One of the girl's classmates could have a military father that always ends up indirectly competing with the maid. The dad's mother or aunt or whatever could visit and try to get rid of the maid by assigning stupidly difficult tasks to her.

Whatever its faults, the show kept me watching all the way through. So there's that.
