The Earth has just thwarted one of those pesky alien invasions, thanks to the actions of the superpowered combat android Mahoro. As a reward, she is given the freedom to live the rest of her operational life (just over a year) however she chooses. Mahoro chooses to spend her days serving Suguru Misato, as a maid.
In the second season, ''Mahoromatic: Something More Beautiful'', Mahoro is joined by her "little sister" who is a completely Terran [[Robot Girl]] Maid (and, initially, a failure). There are even the makings of a small harem with the male lead's schoolmates (though the feel is more of a close group of friends or a [[Nakama]] rather than a true harem).
Line 42:
* [[Gainax Ending]]: On that note, take a wild guess as to who made the anime.
** They were twisting the ending of manga, where {{spoiler|Mahoro does come back and all's well that ends well}}.
*** To explain this: In the manga, {{spoiler|several years have passed, and Suguru now works for Saint. His friends still live around him, and they notice the emotional barrier he has put up despite his apparent friendliness, as a result of the trauma of having Mahoro self-destruct in front of him. Unbeknownst to him, Mahoro was reincarnated as a baby immediately after her death, raised by Ryuga, and remembered her past life after reaching her teens. She meets Suguru in the garden of his house.}}
** In the anime:
*** {{spoiler|there is some debate as to whether or not Mahoro comes back in the flesh or not. It is mentioned that Saint is releasing "a memory" back to Suguru before moving on, and in the haunted school episode it's implied that unfulfilled purposes can create ghosts. Mahoro may have come back as such a ghost, and Suguru died in the epilogue episode, making the haunted school episode an example of Foreshadowing}}.
Line 80:
* [[Those Two Guys]]: Suguru's porn buddies Kawahara and Hamadi, though Hamadi does step into the spotlight a bit in the second season {{spoiler|and in the manga epilogue, he did marry Minawa}}.
* [[Title Drop]]: Not "Mahoromatic" itself, which is just a silly portmanteau, but the [[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo]] drops its subtitle (''Something More Beautiful'') at a climatic moment.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Torpedo Tits]]: In a spoof of a robot attack in ''[[Mazinger Z]]''.
* [[Universal Driver's License]]: Mahoro has the skills to drive/pilot/operate practically every vehicle in her world. She presents a ''literal'' Universal Driver's License on-screen once.
