Akiba Maid War Complete Collection [Blu-Ray]

This anime is super under rated. It's a very good watch! Highly recommend buying it and watching it!

One of the few modern day releases I could actually care about as an older fan, great writing that starts off humorous and self aware, but slowly goes on to get more serious. Great direction, voice acting, music, and of course it is FILLED with references to both western gangster film and yakuza film. Fans of anime, western gangster movies, Tarantino, and Yakuza film will find something to love here. There is more to modern anime than the trope of isekai light novel adaptions with very long titles.

So good!

This is basically as the title says a gangster/mafia/yukuza story but with cute girls in maid costumes in place of the tough guys. Oddly violent, Bizarrely funny, and surprisingly decent story with no fan service, but I'd only recommend if you're into dark comedies. Haven't heard the english dub yet but the original voice work is stellar.

One of those tonal whiplash anime that you're either into or not. Personally I really was, by the time the 1st bloodsoaked musical dance number was done with, i knew what I was getting into with this series. Especially with the serious character moments that you'de think would be undercut by some of the humour, but for me, it really fit the tone.It's story is a typical yakuza gangster revenge plot, but with the gimmick of being set in an alternate 90s-2000s era of the maid cafe fad from then being something bigger and sinister.Like if the anime Black Lagoon was solely focused on Roberta, sort of like her spinoff OVA 'Robertas Bloodtrail'. One of my favourite anime of all time, so that influenced me slightly in how much I love this based on that too. So if you like that and the original Black Lagoon, you'll get a kick out of this atleast, if not have it be one of your new top 10 anime of all time like it is mine.
