The last episode was rather obligatory. There was ten episodes of slice of life narratives with hardly any background intrigue or developments on the fundamental plot. Then the last episode spontaneously decides directly address that by introducing new characters who threatens Naeka’s life. What made the ending particularly unsatisfying was that the premise story is still unfinished: Naeka still has a hundred and twenty-four days before she receives her inheritance.
Yes, Kogarashi is a Gary Stu, but he is a Gary Stu of epic proportions. He is a man’s man. He is a man’s man’s man. He is a man’s man’s man’s…you get the point. The most amusing moments are when Kogarashi displays a ridiculous to the point of hilarity Maid Guy power. The distinguishing ingredient in the show is Kogarashi, but unfortunately Kamen no Maid Guy was more about Naeka’s large breasts than about Maid Guy himself. The comedy here is hit and miss, and the peppy music that plays at some jokes is overbearing and actually impedes its intent to induce laughter. Kogarashi is an archetypal example of an awesome character stuck in a crappy show.
