[Anime] Mahoromatic Tadaima Okaeri - Part 2: The Welcoming Sky


This is the second part of Mahoromatic Tadaima Okaeri.



Miyuki, Rin, Chizuko, and Shikijo-sensei meet up with Kiyomi and Toshiya at Café Trois. Meanwhile, Mahoro fights two giant robots on the roof of the school. Mahoro is obviously the strongest, but her uniform keeps tearing. Suguru takes an unconscious Minawa to safety. Mahoro manages to throw one of the robots into the other. The surviving robot transforms into a jet and flies off, but Mahoro summons Silpheed which enables her to fly. A few shots from Mahoro has the jet fly off course and into the villan’s airplane. Suguru is back up on the roof watching the overhead fight. Minawa wakes up and has a short conversation with an injured villian who calls himself Feldlance. Mahoro and Suguru return, but Feldlance sneaks away. Ryuuga-sensei and Slash come and offers to take care of the mess at school. They make a reference to Mahoro’s panties, which gets them a knock over the head.



The next day, the others arrive to find Mahoro, Minawa, and Suguru finishing up work on the café. The café appears to be rather successful. Miyuki takes Suguru out to ‘advertise’ the café. When they return, Rin goes out with Suguru at advertise, then Chizuko goes with Suguru. The Café is closed when they get back. Mahoro brings out a special cake that she has saved to celebrate. When she sets the cake down, her uniform rips apart. The girls give Mahoro an outfit they bought from the flea market next door.



The girls send Mahoro out with Suguru to see the festival. The girls take Minawa out to see the festival, leaving Toshiya and Kiyomi by themselves. Everyone seems to have fun. Later, Rin wonders what Suguru and Mahoro are doing. Manawa (accurately) thinks that everyone likes Suguru and that Suguru and Mahoro likes each other. Rin says that Suguru wasn’t as cheerful as he is now before Mahoro came. Mahoro and Suguru are listening to someone play the violin. Mahoro think that whoever it is, they must be a wonderful person. It ends up being Shikijo-sensei. After the fireworks start, the girls meet up with Toshiya and Kiyomi. Mahoro changes back into her original maid outfit before she and Suguru meets back up with the others.


This was a fairly enjoyable episode. The sci-fi feel of the robot fight in the first half and the slice-of-life feel of the second made this seem like two different animes spliced together, though.
