During his fruitless job hunting Ren encounters a young looking woman who is about to collapse from heat exhaustion and he rushes to her side to see if she is okay. Even though she says she is fine, Ren and Mihato persist in helping her to her home, appreciative for the offer she graciously accepts their hospitality as Ren carries her home but when arriving at the front gates the young woman's home happens to be a huge mansion. She then introduces herself as Miyu Kuonji, sister of the famous orchestral conductor, Shinra Kuonji.

Review:

Simply put, this show is alot of fun to watch. This is the type of series that you can watch without having to worry about overly complicated plotlines or some heavy drama that'll drag down the show at any time. When watching They Are My Noble Masters just take it at face value because if you try to look for some greater overall meaning to everything, it's not there, which may leave the viewer thinking that the show is shallow. But, after sitting through the whole series, this is fine, since I didn't have to put to much thought into the show and I could enjoy the simplistic comedy mixed with the right amount of perverted ecchiness and laughed because overall, this short series is just a good time. They Are My Noble Masters does have quite the cast of bizarre characters and the thing that did impress me is how the show manages to dedicate some portion of an episode to explain a bit on their background to help you understand why they act the way they do and it all comes together extremely well with the next to non-existent story.

Fairly decent animation, a plot that is fueled only by the cast of crazy characters, and comedy that doesn't need to rely on exaggerations to be funny, They Are My Noble Masters is a series where you can just turn your brain off, hit play, and just enjoy it for what it is... a simple comedy that explains itself very well.
