Sakura, the fangirl of this Indie band… We knew this was coming by the preview shown in the last episode. Don’t worry, it’s a bit better than the mediocre Girls Dead Monster singles I reviewed. It seems like anime these days starting to include some sort of band. First Suzumiya Haruhi, next K-ON, then Angel [...]

The past few episodes of Maid-sama! have ranged from ‘okay’ to ‘pointless’ to ‘surprisingly good despite not advancing the plot in the slightest’ (and not necessarily in that order). I can’t help but feel that three more episodes isn’t going to advance the somewhat jumpy storyline we have going on, but only time and a [...] Related posts:Kaichou wa Maid-sama! 5 & 6 Kaichou wa Maid-Sama! 4 Kaichou wa Maid-sama! 7

Back to the story after last week’s filler. We start with a performance from a band with Sakura watching. After it the singer of the band throws Sakura a white rose and winks at her. Which makes her fall completely for him. They’re an indie band, from another school and have invited Sakura and friends [...]

Sakura’s discovering her first celebrity love while Misaki the real thing. When I started watching this episode, I was like does J.C. Staff have a lot of time in dawdling over momotarou lulz side-stories and support cast arcs? But I was mildly delighted to see the tables turned. I was [...]

If I got hit on every episode and had to have my stalker (but inevitable crush) come and save me, it would get pretty annoying too. And yes, we just got over the whole Miyabigaoka Academy incident but now it’s time for Sakura to fall bait in the fanservice of a high school indie band.  [...]

The title speaks it all. Oh, that and I will definitely pay for a yuri show involving Sakura, Misaki and Aoi, with the end transforming all of them into a harem for Usui. OH YES. Episode summary Sakura is in love with the vocalist of a popular band, and manages to secure a fan meeting with [...]

Even though the content in this episode looks fillerish, it was actually in the manga too. The story goes like this: A couple brings a huge peach home and this popped out of the huge peach and out came the Peach Boy Misaki…. Misaki finds Usui cooking those animals and they get released so they find the “Oni.” They [...]

I finally caught up with all the released episodes of Kaichou wa Maid-sama! and it has honestly exceeded my expectations. The premise sounded so trashy, but it has been a decent shoujo comedy. Let’s go over what I have and have not enjoyed thus far, although with nine episodes into the anime, I don’t think [...]

Damn you, filler episodes! The story of Momotaru rescuing a livvage of only men in need of females is the story our anime series tonight, with every character playing a different character.  Momtaru is played by Misaki and the bad guy is played by Usui – no surprises.  On Momotaru’s journey, she teams up with [...]

This is how I feel when I see a filler-like episode in my shoujo series. Seriously, this is funny but I wonder whether there is a point at all for this episode other than “Ha Ha, this is so stupid?” Anyway, despite the fact that this is a manga chapter, I call this a filler episode. [...]

[ ひじりつかさ ] At first glance, Misa-chan is anything but your traditional girl. She’s aggressive assertive, independent, and bold; she is part-timing to earn income for her household despite still being a student; most of all, she is the Student Council President of a formerly all-boys school, taking leadership over an overwhelmingly male population. Even feminists [...]

It’s more like Misa-chan playing right into Miyabigaoka Academy’s Student Council President’s trap… It’s not surprising that Kaichou wa Maid-sama plays with some of the usual Shoujo clichés. Comparing to the Ouran Host Club, Miyabigaoka is viewed as a villia. Underneath Igarashi’s nice image shows a dark side and the urge to try and influence lesser [...]

Kaichou wa Maid-sama 8 I didn’t start watching this until a couple of weeks ago, but now I’m glad I picked it up! Having followed the manga for a year or two I was worried the anime wouldn’t do it justice. I heard rumours that Misaki wasn’t the ball-busting tough chick she is in the manga, and it’s true anime Misaki is a tad more deredere earlier on but she’s still a strong female protagonist. What I’m enjoying most about the anime actually, is Usui. Of course I like him in the manga. He’s an ideal shoujo hero - silent and manly, has perfect hair, always napping on rooftops, prone to making extravagant moves (jumping off of buildings, kicking down doors) to protect the girl he loves. But I have to admit I’ve got a soft-spot for his hapless rival Shintani, simply because Usui is so damn perfect and Shintani is an adorable goof. (Shintani hasn’t shown up yet in the anime by the way, so I’m looking forward to that!) But Nobuhiko Okamoto’s voice acting really takes Usui to the next level! He swings so well between the cool shoujo hero voice and a petulant monotone that can be teasing, perverted or apathetic (above) but is always hilarious. Manga Usui has plenty of perverted and quirky moments, but maybe because the manga is currently entering a more emo arc to do with his past or maybe because they are usually little single-frame asides, I don’t notice them as much as I do here. And it’s making me dig Usui more and more. Dare I say, I’ve caught the Usui-fascination. orz

The big question is: would Misaki transfer to Miyabigaoka or not? As expected from the developments in last episode, Misaki is hounded by the Miyabigaoka boys led by Maki to transfer school with bribe offerings in shape of roses, chocolates and cakes delivery to her home. They show her many [...]
