No, nonetheless no concept why he does it.
Not often has one particular person been so solely the rationale a present is on my radar – and in the course of the desk – as with Kimi wa Meido-sama. But it surely actually would not be there with out Watanabe Ayumu. Every thing about this sequence truthfully appears as generic as doable. However Watanabe is arguably the highest director in TV anime proper now. When he isn’t doing theatrical work, he is often doing status initiatives or huge business monsters (corresponding to Comi-san wa Comyushou desu. – perhaps he likes sequence with a interval within the title?). Or a mixture of each, like his subsequent challenge, Tongari Boushi no Atelier.
Good, Kimi wa Meido-sama is none of these issues. It is not an award winner or an enormous vendor. The evaluations are mediocre. The premise – a former hit man goes to work as a maid for a single highschool pupil – nicely, it might actually be laborious to be cliché (you might charitably say “timeless,” I suppose). So my curiosity right here is twofold. Initially, with Watanabe-sensei’s path, it’d really be actually good. And second, to see if the standard that prompted Watanabe to direct the movie turns into obvious.
What we obtained appeared to me to be precisely what you might have predicted. That’s to say, a totally generic anime comedy that may be very nicely executed. To be honest, there’s nothing overtly offensive to date, and the sequence appears to have a point of coronary heart. However there’s additionally nothing that stands out. Nothing that will make you say, “Oh, so that’s Why!”. You have obtained the boy who lives alone, the whole dojikko lady, and even a cameo look from Truck-kun. Nothing right here that hasn’t been animated 100 instances or extra. So truthfully, what the hell is occurring right here ?
Who is aware of, perhaps Watanabe had a gap in his schedule and needed to sleepwalk via a manufacturing and money the examine. I am just a little shocked when somebody asks him. It is fairly attention-grabbing that now we have an actual youngster (Kumagai Toshiki) because the male lead – youngsters performed by actors their precise age are extraordinarily uncommon in TV anime (that is in all probability due to Watanabe). However there’s not a lot else that is shocking or, frankly, all that attention-grabbing. I suppose that is simply a kind of mysteries that can by no means be defined.
