I've also watched EP 9 (Now it's ep10 on Animax Asia) as well but this is actually a parody episode.

Nice, ep. 10 was finally one I could really enjoy again.
Didn't really found the last three (I think?) that amusing. Apart from the grandma with her peaches. She was awesome XD

The blunt "I'm a stalker" line was my favorite in this episode, too. Mainly because it's true

Anime Network is going to start streaming Maid-sama for North America on the 15th.

Why were the links to "Kaichou wa Maid-sama" removed when only an announcement to stream the series has been made?

Are streaming announcements by "The Anime Network" treated differently than streaming announcements by "Crunchyroll"?

[wandering-dreamer]

Anime Network is a subscription site (so no free viewings unlike CR's delay) and it was part of ADV at one point as well (which was a R1 anime licensed but kinda died, split, and resurrected).

Regardless, episode 11 is out, we actually get to see a small amount of Usui's background.

Really cool.

Really cool.

he certainly gave us a good look at his background alright ...

[Kanon]

I felt we didn't learn much, since he apparently spotted Misaki and the others right away (brilliant disguises, Sakura) and did all these different activities to srew with them. There's no way he's such a saint, right? Right!? No, actually, it's possible since it's Usui...
What we know for sure is that he's from a very wealthy family (which was already kinda obvious), he lives alone, and he wears contacts. Hey, in fact, that's plenty of information for now, and it managed to pique my interest.

The rest of the episode was also very good. I didn't think Misaki's mother would be such a klutz, she's so different from her daughters, but very charming nonetheless. The chase was very entertaining thanks to Shizuko and of course, Sakura; Hanazawa Kana is doing a fantastic job, I hope she'll get more roles like this in the future.

Usui really got and interesting life when hes not stalking Misaki

[Preacher]

I wonder if the whole arc with Hypnotist guy would be in anime or he would not appear at all?

Also, anime does few things considerably worse then manga. While representation and interest in Sakura improved in anime (though still sub par to manga), the whole level of jokes and representation of the guy who works in the student council is totaly lost.

He's in the OP so if anything I guess we can expect to see a diluted version of his introduction. His VA is supposed to be Toriumi Kousuke (<3 <3 <3).

agreed. LOL

I think he's and estranged son of a rich heir. Like Lucy is in Fairy Tail./

On episode 12: Hanazawa shines again!

I'm so hoping it's a poke towards DRRR!! which airs on the same night. You guys will get what I mean when she does what she does best.

Hmm, I have a little idea, but I'm not sure that's it. Which scene are you thinking about?

Anyway, I enjoyed episode 12 a lot, it was very fun. Now that's the Misaki I know and love!

[dynastus]

Are there more animes like this one because I really like it.

I'm not sure what's so fun if there's only one participant who completely dominates every match. It's like no one else gets a chance to play. (Yes I know the boys are being perverts as usual but still)

To quote, "A game's only fun when it's not one-sided"

On that end how many episodes is this? I though it was just 12.

The little interlude where Misaki takes a rest and Sakura sounds all faux-gaijin like.

While it's probably the stereotypical faux-gaijin accent that the Japanese relate to, I just can't help but think of Simon.

The closest thing I can think of is Special A. D=

OT:

Spoiler for Episode 12:

I was really looking forward to Misa wearing the maid outfit, but I guess it was more interesting to see the other dude on it. XD

It seems the next episode will be focusing on those three fans of Misa and the trap. So far, I'm quite intrigued. =D

After that sports event I don't know why the President is worried about all the guys since they're pretty much all girls in my book if they can't win
