…Why. Impressions: I didn’t go back and watch the original’s first episode, but… yeah. I still don’t understand why this exists. Characters, writing, humor were all perfected in August of 1987, but the problems that needed updating? A slightly different color scheme, a few more frames of animation, and the nipples sanded off. Better …
You’re a Maid #01 — Obligatory Cabbage Cutting Scene
No anime is ever going to live that down apparently. Impressions: I guess we’ll start with the throwbacks.
