We've Got a Title and a Cover


I've settled on Mahoromatic: Limitless. It's a reference to her limited lifespan (from the series) which has since been removed in my edit. I also spent the better part of the afternoon working up a cover to go along with the edit. It uses the same template as the Eva Extras cover, but that template is so good, how could I not want to use it again? ;) The release date is coming, I assure you, but first I have to get those darn subtitles finished...

Here is the description that appears on the back of the cover:

---Mahoromatic Automatic Maiden: Limitless Volume 1---

In the hidden war against the alien invaders of Saint, mankind
has been saved countless times by an android named Mahoro.
Out of gratitude for her deeds, the earth-defense force Vesper
offers Mahoro the chance to fulfill any dream she desires.
All she’s ever wanted was to live a normal life. So what’s an
android to do?

Enter Suguru, a young orphan with an extremely messy house,
who hires Mahoro on as a maid. Poor Suguru has no idea
about Mahoro`s past life, or her deep connection to him. But
he`s not one to complain as Mahoro moves in, causing
suspicion from his friends, and jealousy from his home-room
teacher. Now Suguru just has to deal with the fact that his
beautiful 19-year old maid is really a combat android!

---An Alternate Retelling...---

Mahoromatic: “Automatic Maiden” and its sequel “Something
More Beautiful” comprise a 27 episode anime TV series from
Gainax Studios. The original telling gave Mahoro a lifespan
that would end in 398 days. Although the series was dramatic,
fun, and lighthearted, it ultimately had a tragic and heart-
breaking ending. It’s conclusion is one of the most reviled in
all anime. Sand Camel Productions thought it was necessary to
re-edit this series to give it a proper finale, one that would
leave the viewer happy instead of disappointed. Some of the
edits that can be seen are: all references to Mahoro’s shortened
lifespan removed, Management removed, Ryuga remains the
final enemy. Enjoy this new version of Mahoromatic!
