I just watched this recently, its really amazing! Here goes the introduction: Hotori Arashiyama is your average klutzy schoolgirl working part-time at a local café, run by an aging proprietor known simply as "Granny." Although the café has some classy touches with its hardwood furniture and the staff (all two of them) wearing English-style maid outfits, it's far more subdued than the typical all-singing all-dancing maid cafés of Akihabara ... until one of Hotori's classmates stops by and decides that they need to do a better job of welcoming home one's master. And so it goes. The secret of a great ensemble comedy, of course, is having instantly likable characters—and every single one here so far is a bona fide hit. Hotori, despite her fairly standard archetype, totally owns the role with her stupid-funny utterances and ballet-like pratfalls. The exchanges with other characters in the show also sparkle with comedic brilliance, whether it's Hotori's pal Tatsuno waxing rhetorical on the essentials of maid culture or her gruff homeroom teacher lecturing her on proper service when he stops by as an unintentional customer. Even the opening and ending sequences come alive with humorous energy (somehow, Hotori rocking out on accordion just makes sense), and the subtle jazz soundtrack carries each scene with a lively rhythmic bounce. Clearly, SoreMachi is one of those miracles where everything comes together, and those who would miss out on it do so at their own risk. - Review by Carlo Santos of ANN. I really reccomend this! Okay, for my personal opinion, I have watched a lot of comedies, sometimes I got bored because I can't understand some Japanese jokes. But this one, it kept me laughing through the 1st episode, and the 2nd episode was even better! One of the strong points of this SoreMachi is that they don't rely on fanservice to get things going (too much fanservice ruins the mood for me). I have yet to watch the 3rd one, but so far it shows great promise. Oh, and the ending sequence rocks!
