Mahoromatic - Tadaima Okaeri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Mahoromatic (........, Mahoromatikku?) is a sci-fi romantic comedy manga and anime series which contains elements of the literary genre of tragic dramas. It is about a former female android soldier, Mahoro. Driven by guilt from her actions during her combat days, she decides to dedicate the rest of her life to serving the son of her late commander as a maid.

The manga proved popular, and was adapted into two anime series by Gainax: "Mahoromatic: Automatic Maiden" and "Mahoromatic: Something More Beautiful" (........~........~, Mahoromatikku: Motto Utsukushii Mono?) The first series consisted of twelve episodes and ran from September 10, 2001 to January 28, 2002 on BS-i in Japan, and more or less followed the manga to the third volume. The second series also followed the manga, culminating in the story's end. This series ran from September 26, 2002 till January 16, 2003.

A television special, "Mahoromatic: Summer TV Special" (..........TV....., Mahoromatikku Natsu no Terebi Supesharu?), set in the days when Minawa had become a regular part of the household, was produced and aired around Summer 2003. A two episode special entitled Mahoromatic: Tadaima Okaeri was announced on August 22, 2009. It aired on October 17 and October 24, 2009.[1] It takes place during the second series, on days 270-268 of Mahoro's life timer.

Originally the anime was licensed by Pioneer (Geneon Entertainment). As of October 2008, ADV Films had announced that they had regained licenses to both Mahoromatic, and Mahoromatic: Something More Beautiful, through its new Japanese licensor Sentai Filmworks.[2] Currently, the anime is now distributed by Section23 Films. Mahoromatic is currently available through The Anime Network's free Video on demand service, found on many cable systems and DirecTV.
