Mayo Chiki Complete Collection

This is a cross of Girls Bravo and Maria+Holic with a bit of Okami-san tossed in. Our hero, Kinjiro Sakamachi, is one who is so afraid of girls the a single touch gives him major nosebleeds (but given that he has been used as a training dummy by his World champion fighting mother and his sister who is training to beat her even you would do anything to get them to stop). Not to mention that when you put his name in traditional form the word Chicken is revealed, but that changes when he accidentally walks in on the butler(Subaru Konoe) to the daughter of the headmaster in the restroom and discovers that he is actually - well let us say that "he" has a few different options than normal butlers. But when they learn on his phobia, they offer a deal, help them keep the secret so her butler can become a butler despite being a girl, and they will help him get over his gynophobia. Throw in his crazy fight club sister, a cat eared, glasses wearing, busty blonde, a girl that has ghosts pop up all over the place, and Konoe's father who is NOT at all pleased with the relationship bewteen the two of them, can he man up to not only keep a secret but maybe find out that girls are not so bad. edit: i finished the series recently (delayed due to going to gen con indy) and I have to say it was a great series. the charatcers are funny in their interactions and the story does keep the pace well and keeps up with the comedy, but tugs at the heart as well as you get drawn into the struggle Konoe and Jiiro have with each other. Ecchi level is low to mid - Kampfer would be the closest to it. And with the ending, the idea of a second season is not out of the question. I definate must have for those who likes an Ecchi psudeo-harem romantic comedy.

I have read the English Dub version is being released. This is a Sub only title I bought. If you don't mind reading the subtitles, it's really a great story. Sometimes I just want to hear the Japanese voice actors anyway. It's a beautiful language, even though I understand very little of it. It's a fun series, with romance, comedy, and quirkiness to keep your interest throughout. If Subs are problematic for you, though, I'd recommend getting the Dub version. However, some things don't always translate well. I've studied other languages so I'm familiar with what a task it must be to Dub any show. If it's not an issue, though, then get this one as soon as you can!

This anime is a really good slap stick anime but it also throws in drama and romance. I really wish there was more to the anime because it really sucks you into the story but overall it was a good anime for how cheap it was.

Let me first say I give no demerits to this show for the show itself. It's got its pros and its cons but in all it's a great and entertaining series. However, the translators in the past couple years have been very poor, sometimes to the point that I'd be tempted to call them incompetent. I recognize that translating things is difficult, but there are limits, and there should be someone to check the quality of the translation before giving a final approval. I could go through the show and list every problem I had, but for brevity I'll only list two large and early errors. Most errors in this and other works (by any company, not just Sentai) are brief instances that glare because they ruin a line. A great example is when Jiro is describing how he developed the tendency for his nose to bleed when a girl touches him. He said that he started to think his mother and sister would stop using him for wrestling practice if he started to bleed; this much was translated correctly. However, here someone completely missed the obvious tense difference. Jiro said that they tended to stop when he bled because the room would get dirty. Not wanting bloodstains makes sense. The translators changed the tense so that he said they stopped because the room IS dirty. This obviously isn't a big error, but the concept of a fighter stopping because they're in a dirty room doesn't make sense compared to stopping to avoid staining a clean room. One spot that I again admit was a little obscure but came together completely wrong was Jiro and Subaru's discussion of Jiro's first kiss. The use of possessive pronouns can be lacking in Japanese, resulting in conversations like this where Subaru's talking about the time she kissed him while Jiro's talking about the time Kanade kissed him; Jiro doesn't know Subaru's kissed him and Subaru doesn't know about Kanade kissing him. When Subaru asked if it was Kanade, she was asking if Kanade had told him, but he thought she was confirming that Kanade was his first kiss. Since pronouns weren't used, they didn't realize that they were talking about entirely different events. In the translation, both sides are translated like they're talking about the kiss with Kanade. There have been worse-translated series than this, I've even seen some with clear grammar and spelling errors that could have been caught by a basic spell-check program. Overall the translation could be worse, but it could be a lot better. I hope these people are a little more careful with any new projects they receive.

A very fun anime to watch. Definitely a harem but still keeps a good running story. It's about a girl who insists on being a butler for her mistress, only thing is she has to be a male to do so.. Therefore she does just that and along the way meets Jiro Kun or (Stupid Chicken)<--Show reference. Jiro has a condition that erupts when being touched by females due to being a wrestling dummy of her younger sister and mother. Konoe and her mistress attempt to cure him of his condition through teasing and different scenarios that keep you wanting more. It is a good 13 episode run for your money, give it a try.

For those of you who want a good laugh, this is an excellent source for that. You have a girl pretending to be a butler, a guy who discovers her secret, who also has a phobia of girls, and a whole group of girls consisting of; one that is haunted by spirits, one that has a glasses fetish and will do anything to see any type of BL and glasses, the sister of themain protagonist who loves to pick on her brother, and the popular rich girl who has a large sadistic side to her that loves to pick on the main character. Just kind of stinks that this collection is only subbed.

Both artwork and voice actor did a great job! I enjoyed this story. It had a good ending. The only thing I wish it had. Frist more plot to the story and the boy seem to jump from 1 girl to another. 2nd Wish they hand another season so they can tied up the loose end. Like did the boy one of the girls.

A delightful though at times intense anime. I take these type of movies merely for entertainment value, I don't try to analyze them and try to delve into their merits. It is what it is, a movie/series meant to entertain nothing more.
