Kaichou wa Maid-Sama! Episode 1

 A new series everyone! How exciting, no? Here’s hoping I don’t want to rip it to pieces by the end of it.

Our heroine, Ayukawa Misaki, seems very tightly would and a bit on edge. She is the class president (or student council or something like that), at a recently turned co-ed school. For some reason I thought this was a story about someone breaking into an all-boys school, so it’s pretty awesome that it’s not..

Exposition time! We meet a boy named Usui who I am guessing is going to be her love interest, right of the bat. Misaki’s house is pretty crappy. She has a sister named Suzuna, and a mother who works in the hospital and paints weird things. Her dad is out of the picture and is your typical dead-beat. Misaki works at a maid café.

Predicted love interest catches her talking to herself while taking the trash out for said job. Misaki is very upset about this. Usui creeply waits outside for her shift to end and they discuss how hard things have been for her.

Misaki waits for Usui to say anything, but he doesn’t. He does however, show up at her work. And beat her in the school exams. They have a very awkward, very typical shojo moment where Misaki falls into Usui accidently when feeling sick.

Some creeper guys from the highschool find Misaki and do not treat her nearly as well as Usui does, who of course come to save the day. We end the episode on the balcony with Usui saying “Why don’t you be my personal maid for the day?”

I think I’m going to like this series. It feels like a simple breath of fresh air, stereotypical but fun and an easy passing twenty minutes. I was surprised by how quickly they seemed to push the two together, hopefully they’ll continue and we can see more of real relationship problems, which is often absent in shojo.

Salutations

Hello my lovely readers, if you exsist. *cricket noise*


Ahh, the wonders of silence.

Christmas is coming, and for me being the typical high school student that I am, that means days off of school burrowing inside my house, staying up until 5 in the morning holding my eyes open to stare at the dim light of my laptop screen, which is the only light in the entire room.

*cough*

Or you know, maybe I’ll go out and have a life. Who knows.

You may wonder what happened to my White Album review for the final two episodes. Well, here’s the story. I finished it, it sucked, and I started to write the review and then I got bored, and then at some point my computer shut off and I didn’t save the screen caps I took, and I didn’t feel like re-doing them.

With that series finally behind us, we are free to look to the future! First off, there is an anime called “Jewel Pet Tinkle.” If that doesn’t disturb you, I’m not sure what would. Am I going to watch an episode? I’m considering watching three minutes just so I can mock it incessantly.

I am getting ready to watch the first episode of Maid-Sama, which sounds like it should be free of the melo-dramatic drama we had with White Album. That was originally going to be this post, but then I decided just to talk about nothing instead.

Kimi Ni Todoke season 2 should be started up soon, and those two series should keep me busy.

I’m also considering branching out with reviews a little, and talking about more topics then just an episode to episode type thing. I’m not sure exactly what that means, but it will be awesome. Oh and you may have noticed the new blog name. For that we can thank the lovely Itsuma. I’m too lazy to think of one myself.
