At its core, Mahoromatic is a comedy with strong dramatic (even tragic) elements. As a comedy, it offers several laugh-out-loud moments. In fact, its signature CatchPhrase -- "Dirty thoughts are bad!" (or Japanese in Romaji: "Ecchi na no wa ikenai to omoimasu!")-- shows up in many variations on the net and in other anime. The ending in the [[{{Anime}} anime]] version is much darker than in the [[{{Manga}} manga]]. [[MoodWhiplash You have been warned.]]

* FridgeLogic: Why can't Mahoro's power supply just be switched out at the end of the time limit?
** Perhaps because she uses volatile memory for data storage, and so switching the power off for any length of time wipes her memory? The power supply may even be in such a location that removing or accessing it destroys Mahoro's memory as well, eliminating the possibility of an external power supply.
** One of the Vesper scientists in Season 2 mentions that her energy source is unique, and while they could fix her external appearance, they lack the know-how on fixing her internals.

* SeriousBusiness: In the first OVA, Mahoro gathers all of the main female cast in order to find and search for naughty magazines the boys may have. Suguru at least, goes to incredibly great lengths (and forcing Slash to be his getaway mount, with hilarious results), to hide the magazines from Mahoro, who in this episode is way too determined to take them away. Slash also informs Suguru that Mahoro picked that habit up from Suguru's father, who himself hid a lot of magazines as well.


Added DiffLines:

* TheReveal: That voice that Vesper personnel talks to but is never seen? [[spoiler: It turns out to be Suguru's grandfather, whom Mahoro immediately recognizes when he visits his grandson in one episode. Prior to this not much was revealed about him other than he was in charge of Vesper.]]

* DistantFinale: The last episode of Season 2 jumps ahead 20 years, and shows us what's happened since the previous episode. Important things:
** Since the leadership of Management was destroyed [[spoiler: by Slash and Suguru's grandfather, the leader of Vesper]], humanity and Saint formed a peace treaty, and have since built colonies in outer space. The episode takes place in a space colony which appears to be orbiting Jupiter.
** [[spoiler: Suguru is now a HeartBrokenBadAss, who's sole purpose in life is to kill combat androids. He's kept Mahoro's brooch as a reminder of her, and why he hates combat droids.]]
** Matthew, who was referred to by characters affiliated with Saint, [[spoiler: turns out to have been part of Mahoro, and before they take off again to search for new places, decides to leave one aspect of her's behind, that of Mahoro, who seems to be reincarnated nearby Suguru.]]
*** The ending can be interpreted in two ways, which is up to the individual viewer:
**** For a more jaded BitterSweetEnding or DownerEnding version, [[spoiler: Suguru is mortally wounded, and gets to see Mahoro one last time before he finally kicks the bucket. The anime does seem to imply this, having Suguru mention not being able to see a doctor in time as well as his natural organs getting hit.]]
**** For a more EarnYourHappyEnding version, [[spoiler: Suguru is still wounded, but may likely survive it, given the likely advances in technology from Saint, and gets reunited with Mahoro, who probably no longer has any time restrictions left on her. They go back to Japan and reunite with their high school friends, and Minawa is implied to be there as well.]]

* TakingYouWithMe: Done twice near the end of Season 2.
** First, by [[spoiler: Suguru's grandfather and Slash, who takes out the leadership of Management, partly out of vengeance for Management [[TheScapegoat blaming Vesper]] for assassinating the US President, and partly because he doesn't believe in their ideals of advancing humanity's technology at the expense of lots of them dying in the process. Slash appears to have survived, but Suguru's grandfather definitely dies.]]
** Later, [[spoiler: Mahoro sacrifices herself by holding onto Feldrance, then showing him how to properly use the energy from the energy blade his bosses stole from Vesper, and blows herself up along with him.]]

* TakeAThirdOption: During Valentines, all of the main girls except Minawa give Suguru chocolate. They then all sit across from him, expecting him to choose which girl's chocolate to eat first (and by extension, which girl he likes the most). His attempt to sneak away is caught by Shijiko, along with Mahoro blocking the exit. Since he doesn't seem like he wants to choose one specific girl, he decides to just eat all of them really quickly in such a way that none of them can figure out whose chocolate he ate first.

And then when they find Earth, the first response humans have is of violence towards them, to the point where they end up having to make some combat androids to counter the human's hostilities.]]

The girls play a practical joke on the boys with the girl curse, but then it turns out that said girl really exists. As far as the pool, when a hand grasps Suguru's leg, the kids freak out, only to find out that it was Shikiro-sensei taking a midnight swim due to it being too hot to sleep. Then they also find the boy ghost, and all of them minus Mahoro faints from the sheer terror.
