Summary:
Coming home from the supermarket, a sick Haruo opens the front door and is surrounded by smoke. When it clears, he sees a person in a hazard suit aim a gun and start to fire at him. After his sisters come home and investigate, Fuyuno figures out from the special bullets that the person inside must also be a mage. The girls knock Haruo out and try to take out the person inside, but get pinned down under the rain of bullets. They counter with their own guns, but they have horrible aim so the person gets away. While chasing after this “killer,” Fuyuno and Chiaki both fall into traps (food and money), leaving Maika alone. Haruo, on the other hand, wakes up in his room with the “killer” who is actually a girl underneath the suit. She tells him not to resist and then steals a kiss. Maika bursts into the room and goes berserk after seeing her brother in a vegetable state. Although Maika lands a hit, the mysterious girl overwhelms her with magic. The only thing that saves Maika from a giant blast is Ayumi arriving home. The girl rushes downstairs and shows Ayumi the cage full of mice that she’s captured. She introduces herself as Anju Rika and the reason she’s been attacking them is to collect data. Moreover, she’s now going to be their new maid in support of Ayumi. The girl’s attention gets diverted from Rika to Haruo when he falls over from being sick.
The doctor gives a grim diagnosis of Haruo having magic fever and the girls all get worried. However, Haruo is completely fine the next day. After sending the sisters home, Rika gets confronted by Ayumi. She figures out that her father sent the new maid, and wants Rika not to interfere with Haruo. Since Rika refuses, the two decide to make a competition out of who Haruo chooses to take care of him. Of course, Rika out-performs Ayumi so the competition turns violent until Rika uses an eel. But after seeing Haruo call out to Ayumi, Rika leaves them alone. Her next plan has her sending letters to both Yuri and Marin. Those two girls come and interrupt right before Ayumi gives Haruo a kiss. However, part of the hospital suddenly explodes and the three are faced with a bigger problem. Rika tells them that the dead spirit of the hospital, called a Paidene, has gotten out. Even though the three cooperate, their attacks do little to the monster. When the Paidene turns around and goes after Haruo, Marin leads the others to putting their lives on the line to block the way. They brace for the impact that never comes because, as Rika tells them, the spirit was summoned in order to test their combat abilities.

At the very beginning of the ED, a few still shots of the characters were added.
Just what this series needs, another magic using girl; a maid no less. They’ve introduced pretty much all of the characters now, so there shouldn’t be anyone new for a while. Past what was introduced in the first episode, Rika brings the first signs of an actual story that involves Ayumi’s family and the teacher at their school. But for now all we’re getting is hints that there’s something at work. With a series like this, I don’t expect much of a back-story, just more craziness and comedy.
Next week, the sports festival episode.
Finally, a maid character! Now all that’s left to complete the fetish cirlce are a glasses girl, and a neko mimi girl.
HA!!! She laid the smack on him before any of the others.
Maid looks like MIYU
“HA!!! She laid the smack on him before any of the others” – EliteF22
as i recall, Mamiya did that already on episode one..
Is it true that Magikano will be a 13 epdisode anime?
God, I hope not.. Just when it starts to be interesting, they kill it off already? I say make it 26.. heck 50!!
the Less, the Better.
this anime isn’t going anywhere .. and its going there fast ..
maybe less episodes = faster progress in story.
not much character development involved anyway.
You mean this anime is GOING NOWHERE, and it’s going there fast. :p
This is my mindless, substanceless anime of this season. Something to balance out Fate and Shana. 🙂
24 episodes probably
Doesn’t really matter as long as the laughs keep coming. But no more girls, there’s enough on board. Another girl, and you can consider it’ll probably go a yuri path.
well, i think shana is pretty boring too and slow paced, you still don’t know what direction the anime is going even after all this time.. *where’s the story ?!*
i mean for example, in fate/stay night you know its a fight for the holy grail, you know when the fight began and you know that the fight will end after a known number of people are defeated. while with shana, its more of a ‘bad guy come, bad guy dies, love story progresses abit’ and ‘another bad guy comes, and dies aswell, love story progresses abit more’ and on with the cycle … question is .. where’s the story ?
Fate/Stay night .. i read the what game story ‘didn’t play it, just read it off the net’ before it was made into an anime, so i can’t really enjoy watching it -_-
this season has proven to be quite the disappoinment for me..
From what I heard, the anime is 13 episodes. Anyway, I’ve seen the RAW for the episode, and it looks like they remixed the OP Sequence with a more fast paced version of the song, and some new clips. I think the anime is great, so hopefully there’s a 2nd season sometime.
I don’t mind the story, but keep the humor, raise it a few bars now and then, maybe split it into 13 episode seasons like Girls Bravo. Don’t forget there’s still Ayumi’s sister, and their teacher, we still don’t know a lot from those two, so i’m expecting their gonna have their share of screentime as well.
ow someone got sacked
Well, i think you are right with the story Medics, but i don’t see that such critical. In my opinion this is like a comedy, therefore i don’t look that much on the story, i want have some fun and lough.
And i did this REALLY often in this anime ^^
Soo i think it’s just a question of the point of view 😉
Why was rika wearing a form fitting black suit? She was nekkid in the manga ;p
Now that I look at the first OP animation with a critical eye, it’s about 95% montage footage. Ah well. Whatever.
Naked in the manga!? Anyone know where I can find the manga =)
That maid girl in the right side of that last episode screenshot really reminds me of Wilhelmina, with the way she looks in that shot…
Show Spoiler ▼
The only thing left now is for everyone to learn that Haruo is actually a distant relation to Maika, not an actual blood sibling. Maika can actually marry Haruo. Then watch the fur fly!
