Review
Mahoromatic: Something more Beautiful brings you back the lovable maid, Mahoro, along with all the panties shoots and humour viewers saw in the first season of Mahoromatic….yes… even Shikijou-sensei is back and she is crazier than ever for Suguru love.
Minawa, a runaway android, finds her way to Suguru’s house in search of shelter from an unknown danger. Things start to go crazy as they are attacked by other robots sent from a place called the Management. What is their purpose? Why are they going after Minawa? Why did Minawa run to Suguru?..Well…for the most part of this series… who cares?
First off, I would like to say I was kept entertained by the comedy in each episode rather than trying to follow some linear plot line. Yes… I know Mahoro is always saying Ecchi nano wa ikenai to omoimas, but this has got to be one of the funniest perverted series that kept me entertained through to the end. What do we have here: A stoic girl who is a maid-to-be, a crazy school teacher who’s hormone levels peak out when she sees Suguru, New Years brawl, Christmas brawl, and in general, Mahoro vs. Shikijou-sensei. What more can one want to be entertained?
A plot does develop later on in the LAST FEW EPISODES. Generally knowing that it’s Gainax, I expected something to happen like this, but when you have a season two that is so closely tied with season one, three or four episodes are just not enough to try and resolve all the questions that build up. The Management, Vespers, Saints. What do they have to do with each other? And who exactly is Matthew?
In addition, the ending was not all..well… pleasing. When you have an episode end with ‘THE END’, you expect it to be the end. Instead, we get an additional episode which tries to explain everything; who Mahoro really was and what the plan Saint Matthews was regarding humans. In other words, the ending seemed a little awkward to me.
Nevertheless, Mahoromatic: Something more Beautiful has all the right ingredients for a day of laughter. Just make sure to tape your mouth shut watching this at night when everyone is sleeping.
