[ Episode 2: Expert of loving HUGE Breasts ]

Massachu…setsu?

If there is one word I can describe Kamen no Maid Guy by is ridiculous. Don’t watch this show if you expect witty humor or clever characters, just nonsense. This episode proved to be quite ridiculous, even more than the first one, but the funny part is although the episode has the word “breasts” in the title and does rely on a few boob jokes, it’s not just a fan-service festival.

Naeka’s math grades are poor and her friends have a theory for that: math grades and breast size are inversely proportional, means the worse the grade are, the bigger the boobs. Naeka is upset about that, especially after her so-called friend say that if she fails the next exam, not only she won’t participate in Kendo, but her body will be sold to the male Kendo team. She seeks help from Fubuki, but she blushes as it turns out her bust size is as big as her (which is a surprise since they were smaller on episode 1, maybe it’s the clothes). The only one that can help Naeka is Kogarashi, that despite his scary demeanor, was actually a teacher in MIT. Tutoring, Energy drinks and even transferring data from his brain via USB Cable (who comes up with this crap?!) come to no avail. After all his harassing attempts rendered useless to Naeka’s procrastination, Fubuki steps up to help. By virtually shrinking her breasts, Fubuki think it’s counter the theory, as she tries to tape the mounds of flesh tightly. Unfortunately Naeka’s bust… busts throught it. Kogarashi tries something else and give her a breast plate (1 out of 5 reader have laughed during the last 2 sentences, I bet) to hold her chest, and it does work… for a short time until it bursts right during the test.

To call this episode crazy is like calling Lelouch a megalomaniac, can’t get more obvious. I do want to stress out that as ridiculous as this episode was, it was highly entertaining. I don’t mind nonsense as long as the jokes as funny, because there are times when there a gag after gag that don’t make any sense, I am looking at you Super Milk Chan! Kamen no Maid Guy at least ties a story up, silly premise notewhistanding. What funny is that the boob jokes are not what’s funny about the episode, but all the gags that relate to Naeka’s attempts to become smarter, although the final breast joke is funny.

Kogarashi himself is proved to be the smarter one in the Fujiwara household as he is the knowledgeable one. It is a nice twist that I am content with considering the brute image can dry up rather quickly. While Kogarashi’s image is seen in a brighter light, Naeka was portrayed as a desperate airhead with big boobs rather than a decisive and assertive girl that we came to know in episode 1. Fubuki will probably remain the same as she always is, but it was funny to see how the only person who can counter Kogarashi effectively is stupid because of her big boobs. To sum it up, although the two ladies treated him as a beast, they ended up being schooled by him as he is more competent than they were. Irony in its best!

By now I think Kamen no Maid Guy is the best fan-service show this spring season, mainly because of Kogarashi. If he wasn’t interfering with Naeka’s life, I doubt if the series would have as big as an impact. If the writers maintain the energy, we’ll have a winner.

7.5/10
