Mahoromatic Review

Mahoromatic is an manga written by Bunjuro Nakayama adapted into a 26 episodes in 2 seasons with 3 OVA's. Despite some erotic and ecchi moments I thought this was a pretty good science fiction, harem, romance anime. It was pretty obvious who would be end up with the main character Suguru Misato from the start and had some pretty enjoyable moments. The bittersweet ending as well will leave a deep affect on you and I can't say whether it is a happy or sad ending as I think we as the viewers will have to decide. Since i will be talking about the ending!

**************************!!!!!!!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!**************************

Summary

Mahoro is a powerful battle android who is coming to the end of her life and will cease to function. She chooses live the rest of her life as a normal human. She decides to become a maid for Suguru Misato a middle school student who lives alone since both his parents passed away. Mahoro shows feelings toward Suguru as both a dotting mother and shy girlfriend. Eventually Mahoro and Suguru fall in love.

Ending

Again if you don't want to be spoiled DO NOT READ THIS PART! Other than that go on ahead. Mahoro and Suguru spend that last of the time they have together when Mahoro must now fight her final battle. It then flashes 20 years into the future with Suguru who never returned to Japan due to the painful memories. Suguru is in critical condition when Mahoro suddenly appears alive asking to take him home. The episode then flashes to a young Suguru and Mahoro reuniting and a following through with every characters dream. Mahoro declares her's is to be Suguru's wife and that last scene shows Mahoro and Suguru standing beside each other.

How it Could be Better

I don't really have much to say about how this anime could be better as it might ruin the point of the whole series. Although there are some erotic ecchi moments in this anime they didn't really ruin the whole story as there was one. I am rather annoyed by the school teacher Ms. Shikijo a perverted shota complex busty woman. Though I believe she's there for comic relief. There are many mixed opinions on the ending, some liked it some didn't. I thought it was okay. I believe it is just one of those endings where you decide if it ends with the characters happy together or not.

My Conclusion

I would give this anime 4/5 stars or an 8/10 score. I is rather good and enjoyable considering it is also labeled as a ecchi and harem as well as romance. Despite this it is obvious who Suguru will fall in love with as all the other girls seem to be friendzoned. The erotic ecchi moments didn't ruin the anime either as it was still enjoyable to watcha and there were even a few moments when it was funny. I was okay with the ending as I think we the viewers will decide if Suguru and Mahoro live together happily ever after or if it is really just a dream or mirage. I would think that Suguru and Mahoro are reunited and living well together. This anime is also similar to Chobits and Plastic Memories, the latter also concludes a love interest with a limited lifespan. One of these two ends happily ever after while the other one has a bittersweet ending where the main character has to savor the memories with his lover.
