Synopsis

Wealthy, handsome, and successful, Arthur Louis Zetes is no stranger to the greed of people. Constantly doubting those around him, he has no faith in humanity; thus, he makes a request for the perfect maid—a robot maid. However, his butler is unable to acquire such a servant due to technological limitations, so he finds the next best substitute.

Marie Evans is a former child prodigy in martial arts known for her lack of expression. Drowning in debt, she readily accepts the offer to be a maid that acts like a robot. While Arthur is often blunt towards humans, he cannot help but dote on his personal robot; in turn, Marie is moved by his drive and consideration toward her.

This was one nice romance anime. It started with an interesting premise and it played it safely until the very end. It is after all a very simple and comedic romance and as that it works very well.

Animation and music: on a budget and you can tell that. Animation is standard and you can see that they cut corners here and there, there was also a controversy with using AI generated images in the anime for certain scenes. Even if they were created by original author, the fact that IA was used still made a commotion amongst the community. Music was standard one, nothing bad ...

Well, yes, let me take up the mantle and write review for this one.

TLDR - it's a plain yoghurt of comedy romance.

It is... ok. Pretty good. Not bad. Slightly above average.
Light comedy that reminds me of Hayate no Gotoku for some reason, and Ninkoro a bit, but it's just missing that extra spice that would make it memorable.
Decently animated. Okay soundtrack. Usual romance stuff. Some funny moments. Shallow characters though.
The only thing that stands out to me is that the artstyle is sometimes really nice and sometimes really cheap.

I have nothing really bad to say about it, but there is just nothing great either, it's ...

The best example of how a good start doesn't always translate into a great anime.

The anime starts off quite solidly. It introduces the characters, the plot, and the conflict in just a few episodes, grabbing your interest from the very first minute. You have a girl with zero facial expression who has to pretend to be a robot, a misanthrope who doesn't trust people but is easily swayed by his robo-maid, and if it's discovered that she's human, she'll be fired. The story is presented as a romance where, little by little, the male protagonist's high barriers will have to be broken down. So far, ...
