The “Chinese edition” of Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru has lately been attracting attention for any number of reasons – mostly relating to its rather spectacularly suspect cover…
Aside from being the world’s first UMDBDDVD9, the total lack of any connection to Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru (女僕咖啡廳 in Chinese) certainly puts the package firmly in “China quality” territory.
The original cover:

Anybody know what the box anime actually is?
CHINA = BEST COPYCATS ON EARTH(PERIOD)
CHINA = BEST COPYCAT THAT WILL BLOW YOU UP ON THE FACE OFF THE EARTH(PERIOD)
CHINA = pir8 everything!
CHINA = Ultimate FAIL
Bitch, please.
If China were the ultimate fail, you would be far worse off than you are now.
The Chinese military is weak. Always has been, so it is unlikely they will blow up their intended target.
Rather it is the unfortunate purchaser of Chinese goods that is in danger.
You fucking retard - it was a joke.
My dad fought in Korea against them, so unfortunately he had different opinions on the Chinese military...
As for goods, people pick price over quality. Everyone is guilty of it. You're probably typing on Chinese made keyboard, looking at a Chinese made monitor fed by graphics card from Chinese factory floor.
In any case, "Maid Cafe" is a common theme. The anime simply used this term as its title. It's a valid choice of name, but the anime don't own the term.
As an anology, if you name your dog "New York," when someone talks of New York on the street, they're likely referring to the city, and probably don't even know about your dog.
The collaged together cover is likely ripoff of something, but not the anime.
they might be copy cats, but they are a fail in that too. a copycat is very hard to distinguish.
give it some time.
Don't you buy tons of Chinese goods yourself?
First the copies become good, then the goods take over.
the catgirl in the front looks awfully familiar to a K on image, as if it was a photoshop edit-filter. the other 2 look also rather familiar, but the
one in the midle is rather obvious.
Is it supposed to be on PSP or PS3?
Quality indeed...."Facepalm".....
Hmmm... for a country that hates Japan till the grave, China somehow is "interested" in Japanese culture; Exp: Gundam copy, Bullet train copy, anime copy....
The cover is made of japanese Doujinshi.

It's just a China quality.
Had a slight hope for china. Why you so sirry China.
I'm surprised the game didn't came out for the 'Popstation'.
Which will end up appearing to be nothing but a modded SNES game..
Too obvious to tell that they're just using random catgirl artworks from various artists as an art cover for a totally unrelated ('cept for the title) anime series. That's pretty much how those so-called Original Anime DVDs sold in Malaysia look like; the last time I saw a Kaze No Stigma DVD with "Zero No Tsukaima" written small under the main title, along with a cover art which is a mashup of Shakugan No Shana and Polyphonica.
So what is actually inside the case? How can anyone know what they are getting, and so why would they buy it?
No regard for copyrights and little to no advertising laws = Why the hell is anyone surprised by this?
MY JOVE, that actually sounds awesome.
I want those catgirls!!!
I registered here just to explain that cover.... Really! >_>
There's a lot of those being exported here in the Philippines and I can explain how they are made and how they are sold.
1) Search for an anime they are requested for in Google.
2) Download the first ten images that appear in Google images (This will the cover and screenshots, this explains the very unrelated images.)
3) Search then download any fan translations of that anime, if no fan translations, put it a translation software and wala! English subtitles!
4) Reconvert all files so they will be less than 200MB per episode, making it possible to fit all episodes (Even 20+ episodes) in a single DVD. Quality is lousier than VCD as a result.
5) Profit.
It's called a UMDBDDVD9 because it will play in a Blueray player or PS3 (Because it plays DVDs) , it will play in a PSP (Which supports MPEG) , and -9 because it will run in a Dual Layer compatible DVD player.
It's just a normal single layer DVD-R inside.
As a FAN of Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru, I say this is an outrage! oh its chin-... nevermind no use raging
Someday Chinese copies will provide 120% of a product...
i had to create a Meme image for this >_> http://imgflip.com/i/6ker
女僕咖啡廳 =
woman servant coffee morphine hall
lol chinese words make no sense
It's more like lol Google Translate makes no sense
A proper translation is "Maid Cafe", which is horribly nondescript description of Soredemo, but whatever.
Yarr harr fiddle-dee-dee, being Chinese is alright with me!
Do what we want 'cas China is free*!
We are pirates!
(*ironic)

"China Quality"
"Pixel Art"
At least it's an anime image? Possibly stolen from some other anime.
You should see the covers for the Chinese bootleg of Vampire Knight.
They stole someone's fanart that was partially colored with color pencils and used that. I don't even know how in the world they thought that was logical. You'd think googling an official screencap would be easier?
Maybe they just grabbed the first pic they found...
They just made $10,000+ for maybe 10 minutes on google and photoshop. How much did your logic make you?
Copy ALL the things!
A catgirl pictures is Cafe With Cat.
WTF is that format? LOL UMDBDDVD9 HAHA
don't fuck with the chinese
we will multiply and come back ten fold the strength
though because we are so dam asian, we will last only about 1/10th as long
and there will be a lot of loling at failures not lolis
oh and lets all agree we chinese sucks at making anime
Take care! Giants nekogirls with pink hair! xD
Maybe they accidentally printed the wrong title, or used the cover art of the wrong show?
For the rest, it looks like pretty normal Chinese bootleg.
Also, ‘Maid Cafe’ has to be the most bland localised Chinese title for a Japanese anime ever.
I wanna play that game with all the catgirls
I won't be surprise if the ending is like schooldays with a twist of Gore since they are the one who started the Crunch video with the Neko(cats).LOL
Well.
In case of Soredemo, we know that the show had superior animation. All the other shows have yet to prove stuff for themselves.
i like how each girl on the chinese cover is drawn in a different style
I agree. It's rare but good to see different styles together like that.
China can only copy other countries, which is very sad. Computers, TGVs, even things like Google... the only thing they are specialized in are toys, and even these toys are shit.
You're wrong. China's TRUE specialty is copying. They copied the nuclear bomb, animes, warships, planes, iphones, etc.
So copying is a specialty now, lol.
Yep. It's a skill called Mimic/Mime. China is just copying one of Final Fantasy's skills. You have to admit it's perhaps one of the most powerful/useful when used correctly.
It's the "correctly" part China doesn't quite do well. It'll be the day when China levels up and acquire "Master Mimic" where it can copy something 100% accurately. The world be damned if they actually improve on it. (Master Mimic+ Skill: Action copied perfectly and improved upon by 10%.)
Sharingan originated from China then :P
Master mimic that was good.rsrsrsrs
Good times when FF was also original enemies :)
But not wanting to defend but when Japanese anime in these last years has been 100 % original?
Just like all other developing countries back in the 70-80's. E.G Japan, oops.
Your apparent lack of knowledge on the subject has been made more obvious with that statement.
yeah its really fucking sad to see a third world country, trying to catch up with the world, get real will ya, both korea and japan went through the same process. What do you expect them to do, invent something new out of thin air?
I hate when I accidentally hit the wrong voting button.
They also copy Cartoons.
