Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ Episode 3: Don't Stop the Romance? ]

My maid guy senses are tingling!

I was right on the money when I said the quality of this show will go downhill slowly as the outrageousness of Kamen no Maid Guy slowly starts to run out of steam as this episode wasn’t as funny as the previous two episodes. That being said, it was a good episode, albeit cliched.

This is your standard “girl gets a love letter from a secret admirer” combined with “girl cannot love anymore because of a horrible turn of events”. It was quite funny that Naeka seemed so heartbroken when she held the letter in her room and reminisced the memories of her kendo Senpai whom she loved, so you bet something emotional happened between the two, only to find out, she “poisoned” his fried shrimp. I should know by now this series won’t be serious any time soon, but it was amusing. I like the fact that despite Naeka’s relation to a rich family, she is far from perfect as we learned that besides being hot tempered and dumb, she is also a terrible cook. The fact she isn’t the perfect lady makes the character look like a regular girl and make her more likable.

Kogarashi steals the show once again, but this time his role is minor as this episode revolves more about Naeka. This is the second episode he tries a potion on Naeka, but this time she drinks it and it causes her to become a sex vixen, literally. Fubuki had to tame her, Kogarashi and even Kosuke (who wouldn’t resist taking pictures of the two ladies grinding their boobs at each other… YURI!) to submission. I think this lady is a lot deadlier than Kogarashi. Kogarashi pulled off the ultimate joke as despite the “surprise” that suitor is actually a girl and not a guy and it is clear we are having another Tomoyo-syndrome (Card Captor Sakura reference people), it was nice he maid the room for the two of them, which add more sass to the joke that would be stale overall.

It was a good episode, but not remarkable. I just hope my score won’t go down by .5 anymore and it’ll remain in the 7-8 area.

7/10
