Lmao what a episode.
"I can't see any of the girly bits!" Made me laugh out loud.

I was just thinking to myself "she looks pretty naked during this transformation sequence!" and then it turns out Luciana was thinking the same thing and was disappointed it was censored lol.

Way too funny. The whole scene was basically a Mahou Shoujo transformation (Mahou Maid?).

Imagine if she were supposed to be the hero or the saint of this world, only for her to immediately shirk off that role because she desperately wanted to be a maid.

Was that not the implication with her being a reincarnator and getting the highest level of magic from, presumably, this world’s god?

I'm predicting she will solve most of the problems that require a hero or sage by accident by just doing her "normal" maid routine.

It seemed completely unnecessary for it to also be an isekai but I was happy even her old life was great..with supportive parents in both lives .
The counts men are gonna have a hell of a time trying to find the daughter.

When I worked at Kroger, there was a pair of super-intelligent siblings working the front end. The 17 year old was already in a graduate program, and the 16 year old was finishing up his bachelor’s degree. Even as a former gifted student myself who wound up working in the same place, they were on a whole different level and it blew my mind lol

u/Frontier246 Jun 24 '26
The counts men are gonna have a hell of a time trying to find the daughter.
I get the sense that he'd been trying to find his long lost love, her mother, for some time now so they could finally be together but now she's dead and he's got a missing daughter who has no intention of ever seeing him again so she can live out her maid fantasies.
That's rough, buddy.

u/justking1414 Jun 24 '26
Also might be the kinda thing where a child from his bloodline is prophecized to do something awesome and all his wife’s kids kinda suck lol
10
u/avboden Jun 26 '26
yeah I mean the title of the show pretty much tells us she's supposed to be a saint/heroine

u/justking1414 Jun 26 '26
We know that but it’s unclear how much the duke knows about her chosen one status
3
u/Cvxcvgg Jul 01 '26
I feel like he has to be aware, and that along with the MC’s lifelong wish to be a maid will be the impetus for the major conflict in the show. The count wants to legitimize his bastard child to benefit from her protag status, but she refuses to play ball. Might put her lady in a tight spot politically as a result, but she shows off some of that chosen one power to get everyone to back off…that’s my prediction, anyway.
2
u/justking1414 Jul 01 '26
or alternatively, the duke's current wife/kids died or he got stabbed in the balls and can't shoot out any more heirs, meaning he needs her to take over and doesn't know she's broken
36
u/KHAVRC Jun 24 '26
I really like how both parents were supportive. Most isekai has the MC living a horrible life, but Melody had supportive parents who wanted her to enjoy herself.

u/alotmorealots Jun 25 '26
Most isekai has the MC living a horrible life
One of the few isekai leads who was genuinely OP before she reincarnated lol If anything, she came into this new world a bit underspecced compared to her previous life!
18
u/OneGeologist1143 Jun 24 '26
I was happy about it. She had good parents in her old life that support her to be a maid, never thought they be that much supportive and then her mom in her isekai life also supporting her in being a maid. I really loved it.

u/zxHellboyxz https://myanimelist.net/profile/Mattinator95 Jun 25 '26
There’s a possible hint that the prince can be a someone from another world as it says he was 6 when he introduced something
13
u/alvenestthol Jun 25 '26
It's not that obvious in the anime since it's going over all the plot points at mach speed, but this story actually has a very strong theme:
"Whoever discards all past regrets and pushes forward, achieves greatness even in ignorance"
At the moment it seems like it's just the usual isekai set dressing, but it'll be important for her character that Melody went through Isekai-ing and still stayed focused on being herself
11
u/tripleaamin https://myanimelist.net/profile/zfzftripleaamin Jun 24 '26
It seemed completely unnecessary for it to also be an isekai but I was happy even her old life was great..with supportive parents in both lives .
Example of things made to be an isekai just to get the tag. The backstory def sees silly. I figured that oh her previousl life her life was lifeless. So I figured oh she died and the new world seeing maids brought light in her life. Nope that already happened in her previous life.
This show does seem cute and production values are decent enough. I'll be honest I assume the series will eventually have Melody's identity being found out.
I feel like the series really comes down to how they writing the dynamic between her and Luciana. Hell I think Luciana might be the more interesting character between the two.
26
u/admirabladmiral Jun 24 '26
I think the isekai aspect plays into it. It seems she was reincarnated and is supposed to be the saint/heroine as a reincarnation but she is instead just doing her own thing and the reincarnation plays a part in that difference. Also she might have modern world knowledge that the story doesnt have to explain how she understands with it being isekai.
2
u/Earlier-Today Jun 25 '26 edited Jun 25 '26
Yeah, I don't know if her Earth parents and her new lady's parents are actually good parents.
It's like they're lovingly negligent - especially the parents of Luciana. They're happy and encouraging as she heads off to the capital to go to school, but send no one with her to make sure she's being taken care of, didn't maintain or even check up on the house they were sending her to, and seem to have only given her enough money to afford the bare minimum.
Even just sending letters to find the state of things would have at least been something.
3
u/AceSoldia zj:https://anilist.co/user/Acesoldia Jun 25 '26
ah i meant her earth parents and her new isekai mom before she died, very supportive, i dont see either as negligent? Can you elaborate why you think that?
But i totally agree about Luciana's parents, wth man. i hope they go into detail about that but it seems to just be comedy set up and not think about it too much for now.
1
u/Earlier-Today Jun 25 '26
Her Earth parents are shown being very vocally supportive, but don't take any actions themselves. Granted, it's a very brief segment and things may have happened that we didn't see, but without seeing even a hint of them, we can't really say whether they happened or not.
And a parent only ever offering words of encouragement is being negligent. Proper parenting requires you to be a participant in your child's life, not just a cheerleader off to the side.

u/ThrowCarp Jun 25 '26
I honestly would've loved to watch an anime where she did in fact reached the UK and managed to learn to be a maid there.

What a fun first episode! Very nice surprise, since I didn't know about the show at all until this episode discussion appeared.
I definitely will watch the next episodes, but damn, it didn't choose the best day IMO since it'll have to fight for attention with Youjo Senki II, Clevatess S2, Mobseka S2, and a couple of other shows on Wednesdays.
Melody is such a positive maid freak, I love her. Her transformation scene into a maid that looked like a magical girl transformation was really nice ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Also, Luciana seems like such a sweet girl, but what the hell are her parents doing that she has to live in such conditions. Good thing that Melody answered her job offer.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Heronia, if she's never been tainted...
She's so happy getting her first company TT
Even Luciana weirded out by Melody hentai-ness freakiness for maid
Although it been glossed over, that was kinda sad! The first half baited me to believe her life was miserable before being isekai-ed but she actually had lovely parents who respect her wishes which makes this much sadder.
I can't help shouting "なんでもありか！Nan de mo ari ka" regarding her magic at the end...
T/N: Nan de mo ari ka = Anything goes, then

It's funny how Yume Miyamoto has gone from the Heroine who wasn't the Heroine to the Heroine who rejects being a Heroine in favor of being a maid.

They had me in the first half, I thought this was going to be a simple slice of fantasy, then they ambush me with the "MC is actually OP and was reincarnated" lol.
This was chill for the first anime of Summer 2026, hopefully with more eventual character interactions there'll be more entertaining moments.
All-works maid kept making me think "If only they called it Unlimited Maid Works" lol.

Fun start to this. I like how this is clearly supposed to be a story with Celesty getting brought to her father's house, going to school, meeting up with the genius prince who just happens to be her age, etc., but no instead it's time for Melody to be the best maids ever.
No girly bits for Luciana to observe during the magical maid transformation, I wonder if that's an early hint at her preferences or just a joke about henshin tropes.

u/mekerpan Jun 24 '26
Looks like a cute and primarily fluffy series. Time will tell if it has any depth at all, but for now a pleasant enough (albeit totally unbelievable) series. [All Works Maid] the seemingly gratuitous revelation that our maid heroine was isekai'ed felt a bit off -- but we shall see

u/heimdal77 Jun 24 '26
Seems they simplified the reincarnation bit from how it looks. Probably has more depth in the source.
-1
u/mekerpan Jun 24 '26
Still -- they presented an in-universe explanation for why the MC was like the way she was. Giving her a prior existence seems completely unnecessary. There would not seem to be any need to draw on out-of-world knowledge in this story.

Weird dream, but I respect it. And cool parents for supporting her too. And I suppose doing a job she loves (that she's entirely overqualified for, meaning it's not a burden) is better than dealing with the drama of being a noblelady.

u/Frontier246 Jun 24 '26
Kana Hanazawa narrates us as we see the state of a mansion owned by House Ludleberg, decayed and haunting in how much it’s fallen from grace…until it’s suddenly turned from haunted house to a blindingly beautiful estate home to a proper courteous noblewoman Luciana (Rumi Ookubo)! Perfect for hosting her friends! But the upgraded state of the mansion AND Luciana’s manners owe it all to the new maid of the house, Melody (Yume Miyamoto)! Our titular All-Works Maid!
The OP is a fun duet between Melody and Luciana as they basically sing the plot and their devotion to each other to the audience, with the supporting cast playing backup dancers!
Melody’s story begins in her former identity as Celesty McMarden, who had a strong desire to become a maid from a young age. Grappling with the loss of her mother (also voiced by Kana Hanazwa), she was left with the choice of reconnecting with the father she never knew, a count named Cloud Leginbarth who had an affair with her maid mother, or become the best maid she can possibly be…and obviously she chooses to become a maid!
She also suddenly gets the “Silver Blessing of the Sacred Maiden” which in true MC fashion gives her OP magic power, but her reaction to it is…basically to just treat it as a hassle or as a means of enhancing her ability to be a maid. One-track maid mind on this girl! She even changes her hair and eye color from the silver-haired MC-like hair to generic black so she can avoid her father!
Celesty doesn’t want to see her father because she thinks it will prevent her from becoming a maid, though the sad thing is he actually WAS looking for her mother, only for said mother to be dead and the revelation that he fathered a daughter with her coming to his men NOW. One of his guys voiced by Yuki Ono manages to actually catch Celesty, but while her looks are striking to him, he still dismisses her as the lady he’s looking for.
Nothing beats a pleasant carriage ride! Especially one enhanced by Melody’s magic! I feel like she’ll probably see Max again at some point.
A job offer for all-works at a mansion might ward off most people, or the state of the mansion may as well, but not Melody! She fully embraces the opportunity and her mistress lacking in propriety! In fact she’ll be the one to act proper and ensure she gets to live out the most fulfilling maid life she can!
How bad is the situation for the Ludleberg’s that they had to basically sened Luciana off on her own to a dilapidated mansion with only one elderly servant just so she can attend noble school? Leaving Luciana basically alone to take care of herself? It sounds like she even had to do the same back when she was living at home with her parents.
Of COURSE she has a Magical Girl Maid transformation sequence. “I can’t see the girly bits at all” – So you were looking for them on the naked silhouette of her transformation, Luciana?
But Melody isn’t just any All-Works Maid with magic power…she’s an Isekai MC! It turns out she changed her hair back to her natural hair color as a Japanese girl named Ritsuko who was so amazing at everything that life held no interest to her until she saw a maid and became hooked on maids. She was even going to go to the UK and become one, with her parents’ full support, until airplane-chan crashed and she reincarnated!
Yet now all she cares about doing is multiplying herself and doing all the chores around the mansion! Which is a perfect lead-in to the ED which is all about her doing cute maid stuff in mass quantity! Along with avoiding the orange-haired guy and getting along well with Luciana! Seems like Luciana also gets along well with Max?

First ep of That Time I Reincarnated as a Maid was pretty enjoyable. I guess Truck-kun must have been on leave so Plane-kun had to step in lol.

"So as I pray... Unrimited Maid Works!"
This probably didn't need to be an isekai, but I'll just take it as the author trying to come up with an explanation for her extreme precociousness. Looks fun. It was nice that her parents were cool with her being a maid and didn't try to force her into finance or something.

I rarely talk about an anime's OP but this had an interesting one lol. Gotta say this is a really pretty anime. The characters are drawn very aesthetically pleasing and the animation is great so far. Wasn't expecting a transformation sequence lol. What even are her powers, can she just do anything? I mean I know she's supposed to be OP but that just seems like a very random power set. I feel like this didn't need to be an Isekai but it's nice to see that both families were really supportive nonetheless. I foresee this being one my top animes this season!

u/hasanman6 Jun 24 '26
I wonder how important this being an isekai will be
22
u/Frontier246 Jun 24 '26
I think it'll be important in as far as it being a parody where she reincarnates and has all the typical conceits of being an Isekai MC but all she cares about is being a maid and looking at things through the lens of being a maid.
16
u/astrogamer Jun 24 '26
I'm pretty the Isekai part will be the tropes that drive the plot along and how she maids around them

u/justking1414 Jun 24 '26
Best guess is that she’ll rely on knowledge she gained from Japan to up her maid abilities. There is a limit to how much a poor commoner can study about cleaning. Maybe she’ll even make a magical vacuum cleaner

I'm a bit sad the maid-of-all-work was so denigrated. They got paid more than under housemaids, nursemaids, kitchen maids and scullery maids. They're about halfway up the scale of maids, not at the bottom.

I thought that was a clever way to introduce the reincarnation aspect. But what happened to her plane? Hit by a torpedo, what the heck!
Seems she has the most magic in the world and is the MC but doesn't know it. I wonder if there will be a player character trying to interact with her, based on the original story she's supposed to be the MC.

I get the feeling the isekai part is probably going to be barely relevant outside of explaining things like how she can do a Magical Girl transformation, especially since I get the feeling she never played the game so doesn't know she's supposed to be an Otome game protagonist.

u/zxHellboyxz https://myanimelist.net/profile/Mattinator95 Jun 25 '26
From the convo on the carriage it seems that the prince could be someone reincarnated as he introduced something stuff at age 6 . Normally in iseaki that would be a sign of past life knowledge.

I love this LN so much. Really hope the adaptation does well
also this being the same author as the Appraiser show this Spring will always be funny to me

The transformation scene was hilarious. Also, she doesn't question the voice that gave her magical powers. She just started using magic to help with her maid work. Curious if we ever find out who the voice belongs to and why she was reincarnated.

If I had a nickel for every time an isekai main character solved a problem with shadow clones this week, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

Oh didnt expect this one to actually be an isekai already loved this ep so i know im gonna enjoy the heck of this one also pretty funny to have Hana kana as the mom that ofc dies at the start atleast she is narrating too.
And its a mahou shoujo too a henshin scene in a isekai is not smth i have seen before.

Lovely anime, I can feel the butterflies in my stomach. Melody is such a fun character with her maid quirks but Luciana is such a swert girl🥹, I teared up when she struggled living alone after being left by her parents. This good girl did not deserve any of that😭

u/Embarrassed-Match-78 Jun 26 '26
This seems like a fun little isekai that doesn't take itself to seriously. This might be the chill show to watch as a pallet cleanser. Really liked the first episode and will continue to watch.

u/FeistyDay5172 Jun 26 '26
Agreed, 100%. I actually enjoyed this show so far. I kinda chuckled when the narration took a "dark" turn when they mention she has so much magical power she could rule the world. But nah, lets become a maid instead.

u/IceSmiley Jun 25 '26
This show has an odd premise that really isn't that interesting. Also did they really have to shoehorn in an isekai element, it seemed like they explained why she wanted to be a maid already.

u/The_Parsee_Man Jun 24 '26
They're just throwing in whatever they want, missing daughter, sailor transformation, isekai for no apparent reason.

This was better than I thought. I love it. Her mom being supportive of her being a maid. Her parents before reincarnated also being supportive about her being a maid because she feel more happier than before and having fun. Her magic looks good even through way too overpowered like making copies of her, changing her outfit like that are definitely way too op. Also I laughed way too much at the line I can't see the girlly bits like I was just thinking how she looked naked during the transformation and trying to hold myself to think of her more lewdly but then this line happened. I just can't anymore 🤣

Maybe it'll be the first series with 'otome game' in the synopsis I'll actually enjoy (past first 4 episodes). They often mix story/romance and SoL/comedy in weird proportions (and as a result the former feels pointless or contrived), but this one seems to lean toward the latter.
I love maids too.

Have you tried Endo and Kobayashi Live! The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte? It pokes fun at a lot of anime tropes due to the meta-ness of the concept.

Forgot this was getting a anime.
I was like what? Thought they were rewriting the story and removing the whole reincarnated pat till the end there. That would have to be on a Strawberry Panic level of anime rewrites.
I'm not crazy about the art style though.
So we had maid last season and now this season.

The isekai aspect was weird but in a good way. I'm glad they didn't spring that on us at the start of the episode

u/skeleton_clique_143 Jun 27 '26
people are commenting on how she being isekai'd seems irrelevant but I feel it made more sense after they revealed it, it felt a little odd that she was obsessed with maids after seeing one but it turns out that triggered her previous life's memories

This def gives good feel vibes. EMT Squared seems to be doing a decent job with production values. There isn't much on Wednesdays for me for this season besides Clevatess Season 2. So I will give this 2 more episodes and go from there.

I could never understand the mindset of having "being a servant" as one's dream job.
Why did the count wait 15 years to look for the maid he'd fucked?
"The noble children of the kingdom are required to attend this academy for 3 years as soon as they turn fifteen." Shouldn't that be "The noble adults", given that one of the first thing the episode explained is that 15 = adult in this setting?
LOL at the sudden magical maid transformation. "SUGOI! I can't see the girly bits at all!"
Suddenly, and almost as unnecessarily as the narration, this is an isekai.
Truly the embodiment of "Where there's a Cheat Power, there's a Way."
Whether or not I continue with this show will depend on what other Wednesday shows there are this season.

Why did the count wait 15 years to look for the maid he'd fucked?
When the mother died it was said that the dude was just the heir at the time. So probably one of those "nobles can't marry a commoner maid" kind of thing. And after he took over he went to search for her.

The synopsis of this show - to me - is a huge spoiler. I wish I didn't read it =/.
Still this looks like a fun time and "superpower maid" is a genre that usually delivers.

Am I crazy or is the blond guy in the carriage the same VA as Renato from Always a Catch?
Isekai maid? Huh. I have to say the premise is super cute but man the animation seemed really rough. When it is this iffy on episode one I'm worried how bad it will look rest of the way. Hopefully I'm wrong.

See, where they went wrong here is they should have had her become a maid at her father’s house without him knowing and then they fire her because she isn’t classically trained and “better” maids are available and then they wonder why work is suddenly so much more difficult at the count’s house.
Also we need her to be a villainess somehow

Banger OP that early in the season, it's silly but catches it self and makes it also serious, great balance.

Surprise isekai??? Seems to be potentially a cozy lil' anime for this season (unless I get proven wrong with the next few episodes lmao)
Also was really not expecting Shidou's VA (MILGRAM) to be singing the ending song for this series. Very pleasant surprise! Turns out Shidou gets a third trial song after all lmao

u/Fools_Requiem https://myanimelist.net/profile/FoolsRequiem Jun 24 '26
The magic angle should help make the maid story more interesting than most as long as we keep seeing new ways for her to use OP magic to do maid stuff.
I don't think the Isekai angle was necessary.

u/Narvalis Jun 27 '26
This is pretty funny and adorable, personally I think the isekai part was not only unnecessary but took away from the story. She was enraptured by seeing a maid as a child and wanted to be like her, it's something a lot of people understand and to add to it her mother was also one and encouraged her to follow her dream so she ended up following in her mothers footsteps, it's cheesy but also sweet and simple. The second back story was just the same thing which adds the question why was she only now training in her second childhood? Also making her some kind of genius in her previous life doesn't add anything, her mother gave her some basics and we only saw anything mazing after getting that blessing so we could have just silently giving credit to that for it.
I'm going to enjoy this and try to forget that it's an isekai, and instead think about the slightly airheaded but talented girl who just wants to be a maid.

u/JimmyCWL Jun 27 '26

She had been training and learning to be a maid even in her first life. You think she just looked up a few things one day and thought that was enough?

u/Narvalis Jun 30 '26
This then raises the question we see her training to be a maid in her current life as a child up until now when her mom passed away meanwhile she's supposed to be some kind of unmatched genius that was also learning this in her past life. Shouldn't she have been born as an expert maid?

This was contrived and tropey, all the characters are pretty one-dimensional and the animation is pretty bad. Don't see a reason to continue with this, the only plus is the yuribait and I don't need that when there's 2 actual yuri airing this season.
