kaichou wa maid-sama (first impression)

Good evening anime fans today we'll be looking at one of the new series that has come out this month. We'll be looking at what i hope to be an up and coming star, kaichou wa main-sama

now i have no idea what i did in the past. but what I'll be doing is looking at what i think are the 3 most important things to an anime. These are the things i look at when deciding what animes to watch.

Opening - It's got some pretty nice opening graphics switching between a couple of styles to cause a nice cute sorta atmosphere. It sorta reminded me of the Special A. It really sets up that there's something going on between the 2 main characters(obviously since it's an anime) But you do see the girl in more of a darker atmosphere a couple of times that gets explained in the anime.

art style - gotta say it's not amazing fantastic nor is it horrible. they do a lot of more "cute" things though cause well the main character is a girl after all. i think that they pull it off really well and throw in some of the "maid" aspects at time to spice up the atmosphere.

story - story seems interesting. nothing completely new though. Basic run down is that this girl goes to a school that only recently became coed and therefore has few girls. Misaka tries to do everything, be president, patrol the school, make sure the girls are treated well, maintain good grades and work a maid job. When her dad ditched the family he left a huge debt behind that has caused the whole family to be poor. the best part is that she's a maid while trying to be the model student. Funny contrast. Then the hottest guy in school finds out her secret and starts to stalk her cause he loves her. neat and i'm excited to see all the drama that happens because of it. it very much reminds of Special A again though. except the main character chick is a maid on the side.

bonuses - the first scene is absolutely amazing we see Misaka not allowing the obvious trouble makers Kurosaki, Sarashina and shirokawa into the school. then she rips out shirokawa's earrings! funniest thing ever.

overall I'd give it a 7/10 nothing earth shattering but it has potential and should be a good watch.
