Now heres a show feminists will love; a powerful, accomplished war hero female android with less than a year to live decides that the best way to spend the remainder of her days...... is as a maid to her commanding officers son. Obviously this isn't going to be everyones cup of tea, but it manages to be a fun show despite some rather blatant sexist overtones. Mahoromatic also has a copious amounts of fanservice/nudity and ecchi-ish humor, in short its a guilty pleasure, and as that Mahoromatic succeeds with flying colors. It's obvious Studio Gainax did't aim to high with this title, and its shows, epecially as the formulaic proceedings start to wear thin near the end of the series. But for what it is Mahormatic is a enjoyable, short and often funny anime that wears its own ridiculousness on its sleeve.
