Review of The Maid I Hired Recently Is Mysterious
A lot of people skip this because it isn't up to their normal anime standards, complain a lot while not daring to watch more. Yet make a huge mistake by just doing that. True, the first few episodes can seem a bit repetitive, but there is actually growth in both main characters, Lilith and Yuuri. Story: -------- The story starts with Yuuri all alone in his mansion, his parents died in a accident leaving him all alone (No explanation where other family are or what they do or why he's left all alone). Lilith soon arrives and doesn't tell who she is really, her name isn't even givenuntil later episodes which does add to the mystery of who she is. Her secrets are not really given until the last few episodes which actually are well worth to see. Even can shed a tear in the very last episode near the ending, why I won't mention to keep it spoiler free as much as I can.
The story is well written and really worth finishing, you will not really get much if you give up with just a few episodes. It's a real shame that this does seem to happen.
Characters:
--------------
The characters are quite interesting, although a few are typical copy/paste type characters in how they behave mostly. Natsume for example being one of these, a typical 'I love [insert person name] so I wish to be selfish and do [insert action]'. Yet realizes the error of her ways quite quickly. Tsukasa being another, a typical girl that's overly invested in her love theories and tries to get the first row seat if it comes to the relation between Yuuri and Lilith. Fujisaki playing a female butler in service of Tsukasa that doesn't want to dress up feminine nor wishes any photo's taken of her.
Character progression for Yuuri and Lilith are visible the further in you go, both on a individual level as relation wise towards each other. Also some progression between these two and Tsukasa and Fujisaki happens but on a minor level.
Graphics & sound:
----------------------
Graphics look decent and the sound over all is well suited. I do however need to add that Lilith's voice is a bit on the soft side as she doesn't speak on the same volume level as the other characters (character trait) However this does seem to change a bit the further you get which shows character progression.
I do think this anime is seriously underrated and deserves a lot better ratings. Well worth to watch this one! I can highly recommend it!
