Review of The Maid I Hired Recently Is Mysterious

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 understandthe 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 I am writing this review.
So before I start my real review I want to make it clear that most of the people who didn't recommend this anime are people who probably went through 3 or 4 episodes, fiddling with their cellphone or doing something else, since this anime has a better quality.

Saikin proposal is nothing extremely complicated, on the contrary, it is something extremely simple and palatable even for a person who is not used to watching anime. Despite the proposal being simple, the execution of this anime deserves a highlight since it manages to directly give the viewer the feeling he wants to convey in a subtle way, even if nothing is happening at the moment, it gives you exactly the feeling he proposes at the moment. Our protagonist is an innocent child, it's cool to see him develop during the episodes, it's not that boring thing of "the protagonist is there simply for the development of the work to happen." no, it was a work made with love and thought about how it would be placed in each episode, the progression of this anime is a strong point since, on the contrary of animes that are stalled just to hold the viewer for one more episode, this anime is compact, satisfactory to see how things unfold, I haven't watched a work so connected with the viewer for a long time.
Before you start watching, I recommend grabbing a coffee or hot chocolate and making yourself comfortable. You will have a great experience watching the course of such an unpretentious story but at the same time so nice to watch.

As I mentioned before, the anime has its limitations because of a simple budget, but that doesn't prevent you from having some experience with the anime, on the contrary, it somehow conveys the feeling of being something directly to you. Silver Link already has a precedent of making anime style comfortable for the viewer. Just like Non Non Biyori, they got it right again. They managed to balance the "Slice of Life" with a progression in the story. It's very difficult to balance these two things since if you don't get the measure right, it can either become a boring anime where nothing happens, or it can turn into a chaos of information or things that don't give the viewer time to digest what's happening. Saikin manages to maintain this balance, which is another great success of the Anime, I haven't read the manga yet but I believe that the adaptation was exactly what the screenwriter intended when writing this story.
It's hard to make ends meet in this anime industry, where there are big companies spending millions on production, and you're someone who has a great story to watch but can't afford the production costs. I really like it when these smaller production companies manage to do such good work even without so many opportunities.
The direction is nothing extremely outstanding in the anime industry, but even so Minato Mirai managed to do something good for the viewer to watch, just like he already did with Otome Game, he brought this experience to the "future" and made another good work. So you can say it's a well-directed anime.

If you asked me if this anime is worth watching, I would say yes without thinking twice. This anime is a great way to pass the time, I'm sure you'll like the characters, the way they are introduced in the story and how they are carried through the eleven episodes. The story sustains itself so as not to be boring at all, on the contrary, it encourages you to continue watching. The drama is not that "I'm running out of ideas so we need to put on some drama" stuff. No, the drama makes sense with the story and only adds more to the anime.

Give this anime a chance!
