If you take any 3 shot sequence of this show out of context it is sublimely absurd. Like this bit:

It's PA Works, those guys are solid, I don't know what the hell people are thinking. I cried after last episode, but then I'm seriously depressed, I sometimes cry after a good breakfast sandwich.

Does that mean there's going to be an Akiba Maid Wars mobile game?

Theres literally idol based mobage games, the small roster thing is never a problem when someone wants to make a game

You can do a small roster idol game just by doing alternate versions of the characters and ZLS probably could go wild with that if they wanted to

trying to settle a debate with one of the friends im watching the show with. overall is it more of a comedy with dramatic elements, or drama with comedic elements?

Depends entirely on the episode tbh. Last two, especially the hitman one, were pretty much pure drama

The maid cafe thing gives it an absurd veneer but it's a more serious yakuza drama really. Admittedly it's got Yakuza series side quest energy sometimes. If you went in expecting and I guess demanding just wacky hijinks with hyper violence because of the maid outfits I think you'd be annoyed

I feel like it's just a drama with an absurd premise. It's funny because the setting is funny, but it doesn't have to tell jokes per se. It just plays its drama completely straight and you laugh anyways because the maid with the gun says oink

it's a comedy to me. when i think of 'drama' as a main descriptor i think of like Rakugo Shinju or March Comes in Like a Lion or Euphonium or whatever. this show's just a silly deadpan genre exercise, even the serious bits are constantly comedically undercut by the premise

If you went in expecting and I guess demanding just wacky hijinks with hyper violence because of the maid outfits I think you'd be annoyed this has pretty much been my argument. while some episodes veer heavily one way or the another, the pastiche seems to me played mostly serious with the occasional deadpan humorous bit here and there, especially in the back half of this series (save for baseball at Bernie's)

I definitely find myself laughing most at this show when it's taking itself completely seriously and just letting the absurdity of the premise be the joke. It's a far better written show than it has any right to be. Serious kudos to the folks behind it.

The creators have real love for the genre because it's all classic tropes but done in such a ridiculous way that it's played perfectly for what it is.
