Sentai Filmworks had their SD Blu-ray lined up for the He is My Master complete collection that brought out the fourteen-episode run out on June 25th, 2019 priced at $29.98. There’s been little to say about the series since, though a newly updated trailer was released a few years ago domestically, but now NBC Univeral Japan has stepped in with the show. As part of their 30th anniversary Anime x Music event, they’ve dropped the opening and closing theme songs onto their channel for people to check out as they celebrate projects they’ve been involved with over the decades.
Check out our review of the series.
The 2005 anime series was written and directed by Shouji Saeki and is based on the original manga by Asu Tsubaki and Mattsuu. Kazuhiro Takamura worked on the character designers and served as the chief animation director with Gainax and SHAFT handling the production.
The Japanese cast includes Ai Shimizu as Mitsuki Sawatari, Junko Minagawa as Yoshitaka Nakabayashi, Kana Ueda as Anna Kurauchi, Masumi Asano as Izumi Sawatari, and Kyousei Tsukui as Pochi.
Plot Concept: Yoshitaka Nakabayashi may be young, rich and not unattractive, but as runaway sisters Izumi and Mitsuki Sawatari quickly discover upon becoming Yoshitaka’s new maids, he has some SERIOUS issues. Like his insistence on being called “Master”, and dressing the girls in costumes he creates himself.
Unfortunately, Izumi’s personal net worth is in the negative digits, and with Mitsuki and her pet alligator to support, she’ll just have to grin and bare whatever comes out of Yoshitaka’s twisted closet! But the costumes are only the beginning, and when Anna, a third au pair with obsessive issues of her own, joins the party the situation will go from bad to perverse. The rules of dealing with domestic help have never been so completely abused as when the madmen at Gainax (Evangelion, FLCL) unleash their most demented series ever!
