Kore ga Watashi no Goshujin-sama Review

Overall Rating 5.5 out of 10 - Show that promises more than it delivers

I do not recommend watching past episode 3 or even at all.

Kore ga Watashi no Goshujin-sama is a show that looked very promising in the first 3 or so episodes. A well written male protagonist who is selfish, perverted, exploitative and seemed very relatable at first. Two girls who had no choice, but to agree on his conditions and work as his maids. Third girl who looked very promising at first. Well designed and sexy maid outfits. Good art that fully takes advantage of that. Depend on how it would end it could even be as high as 8 out of 10.

Then middle part that felt more like a treadmill of the samey contests over trivial things. Looney Tunes in maid outfits and occasional fanservice. Fanservice was getting worse and worse and violence against male protagonist worse and worse. It was no longer about Yoshitaka fetishes but about contesting Izumi with endless rivals that popped from everywhere. It was no higher than 6

Then came the finale where maids left, Yoshitaka nearly lost everything but was saved by Izumi in what was supposed to be climatic happy end. Instead, this "happy end" felt more like another snub at Yoshitaka. 

By end its only higher than 5 because of good maid outfits design and fanservice. Yoshitaka lost nearly everything that made him relatable. Maids were not any better than at the beginning of the story, if anything they got even worse due to all the fortune and admirers they managed to collect.

Maid trio each has their own problems. Best thing about them are their maid outfits designed by Yoshitaka. Izumi ended up being irredeemable tsundere, early episodes gave me hope she will change and become nicer but that did not happen. Mitsuki is nice and sweet at first glance, but she actually manipulates the whole show behind the scenes and is the reason for other character's struggles. Finally, Anna-chan was nice and sweet when she was ready to do anything for Yoshitaka but show decided to take it away and made her into being lesbians with Izumi instead.

Unusually for slice of life, this show is mostly story driven. Despite that is not fulfilling, plot twists merely give you the false hope, things will turn to better in next episode only to disappoint you in the end.

Overall, it is probably the biggest disappointment of the year.
