Original TV anime Akiba Maid War announced by P.A. Works and Cygames

Official website:

New info. Clearly looks like trolling. I wonder, what plot Cygames came up with this time.

Definetely your typical P.A. Works business anime.

Certainly going to be character and action driven, considering whatever kind of plot this could possibly be.

Liddo-kun · 2022-10-06, 13:26

it's started...

too sleepy to watch tonight though.

Sides · 2022-10-06, 14:33

The title says it all. Episode one is stupidly hilarious. This reminds me of 90s cinema and the ED is brilliant. Hopefully this show isn't going to mellow down in the future episodes.
This show could be the best maid themed anime show ever.

Dop · 2022-10-06, 15:34

I absolutely loved this show. It's such barking mad ludicrous nonsense that I was already enjoying it from the opening sequence onwards, but the musical number with its insane choreography was just the icing on the cake. If it can keep up that level of sheer crazy it could be my out of nowhere hit for the season!

And as Sides mentions above, the ED is brilliant!

AntonKutovoi · 2022-10-06, 15:50

Ah, good old "WTF did I just watch". It's always nice to see one of those.

stray · 2022-10-06, 20:35

I have no idea where this is going but its fucking amazing so far. OP was very 1990s and the ED really is brilliant. Lets see if PA Works can execute for an entire series though.

grecefar · 2022-10-06, 21:08

Well after ben-to, thinks like this you just give it a chance and can surprise you.

I have some problems with what happen in the first chapter, like the manager needs to die but oh well let's see how this goes.

Guardian Enzo · 2022-10-06, 21:10

WTF did I just watch

Marcus H. · 2022-10-06, 21:23

This is comparable to Ninja Slayer from Animation and Inferno Cop. Straightforward turn-off-your-brain violence, this time in maid outfits. Meh.

stray · 2022-10-06, 21:37

OP song really reminds me of '90s Prodigy like "Smack My Bitch Up".

Spoiler for Prodigy:

kk2extreme · 2022-10-06, 22:32

Is that Roberta the blood hound?

Ragashingo · 2022-10-06, 22:56

A smidge of maid cafe antics and a huge dosage of violent gunplay for no stated reason. I have no plans to watch a second episode. Let me know if it begins to try to have a plot or a point...

serenade_beta · 2022-10-06, 22:59

Spoiler for ep1:

FlareKnight · 2022-10-06, 23:07

Well...that was odd. Credit to the title, it wasn't underrating the war aspect here.

I totally get main girl wanting to run for her life. I mean...what the heck

Presuming I keep watching this one, I'm going to just call her Roberta. Because...it makes more sense to consider it a Black Lagoon spinoff than anything else

Chosen_Hero · 2022-10-07, 01:27

So all I got by the end of the episode is that this anime is basically just bloodshed for the sake of bloodshed... no thanks, I'm all filled up on my edge quota thanks to the chunni in the shadows murder boner isekai and I might drop that one.

I don't care how much action or sakuga your show has, if it lack anything resembling a plot then I just don't care.

Guardian Enzo · 2022-10-07, 03:36

It doesn’t even have all that much sakuga tbh.

nojay · 2022-10-07, 04:22

It's not like the producers didn't tell you this was going to be gory in the title -- "Meido" is not spelled out in katakana as it should be for "maid", it's "冥途" which means Hell, basically (Jisho translates it as Hades).

Japanese folks do like puns.

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	Spoiler for ep1: It's not like I expected Cygames to actually care about otaku culture, but maid culture was not so prominent until after 2000 and most certainly not 1985 Also, the term "Buhire ブヒれ" wasn't popularized until after 2010s and most certainly not before 2000 Not sure if they are trying to bait older otaku by using older dates and older technology, but I don't see the need for some Yakuza story to have to take place before the 2000s. If the story took place in the 2010s, none of this would have seemed so out of place. As for the story... Uh... yeah, Yakuza. I guess har har, she danced while shooting everyone? Are they gonna try to make killing "otaku-ish" in every episode or something? That would actually be... kinda gross. __________________ -Blog --> http://tdnshumi.blogspot.com/ (Mainly about video games) -R.I.P.
