In something of an unusual twist on the moe cafe boom, top moe artist and golden swordsman Kishida Mel has designed the maids for an actual maid cafe.
Nagoya based “idol cafe and bar” Carnival☆Stars now boasts costumes designed by Kishida Mel himself, to be part of their regular ensemble:
Even Mel’s design skills were not enough to rescue these poor maids from the horrors of the 3rd dimension it seems – the online reaction has been quite disparaging, praising the cuteness of the illustrations whilst pouring scorn on the “all too real” and “humdrum” costumes they gave rise to.
Mercifully, Mel seems to have pledged not to wear any of the costumes himself, though probably depriving the cafe of several times the attention generated by the actual designs in the process.
They may also be regretting not going with these:

yay
Is it just me, or do these "maids" seem somewhat disturbed by their attire?
Its like they are thinking "why am I doing this?".
They're probably not used to wearing those big-eye contact lenses.
great designs, though 2D wears it better than 3D
agreed. The 2D lolis are positively DELICIOUS, but the 19 year old crones of the 3D world almost ruin the 2D ones just by being in close proximity to them :(
Actually, the most maids in maid cafes are minors that earn money as maid next to school.
despite some schools having rules against working pupils, you mean?
Just please don't call them crones unless you're obviously joking. It's hard enough to prevent people from believing we're obviously stupid as a demographic without shit like that being thrown around.
He should have tried it himself too :D
No costumes will save if they're gonna keep up those facepalming attacks against their clients.
Of course it will look bad. Why hire an animator to design something to be worn by real people. Should've at least let a professional designer advise him because those colored skirts look good on paper but brutally horrible when transformed to 3D.
nah, it's the 3DPD's fault, not the designer.
Just imagine a lovely looking loli wears it, it would be perfectly fine.
Japanese 3D pig disgusting. Would rather fuck american whores and contract std rather than banging these crooked teeth, mosaic censored, pancakes, daikon legs, and hairy bush sloots
do you actually think mosaic censors exist irl
amazing
oh please, you'll obviously jump at ANY woman that spread their legs before you, you virgin.
Did you guys know that Kishida-sensei did a trap cosplay, and was actually kind of passable?
It was scary because I didn't know until I read someone's comment.
Kishida Sensei? Didn't realise he was your teacher.
Trol fail.
Sensei's used for many professions with some sort of repute, ie doctors, politicans, artists and not just teachers.
Mangaka are also referred to as Sensei.
Sorry I didn't realise you were Japanese. Outside of Japan we simply call them Manga authors, or simply an author.
Mangaka, doctors, etc. Sensei is not exactly a job, it is more related to status.
Ironically, Kishida doesn't fall under the two categories you mentioned. He's actually an illustrator that does illustration, artwork and character designs.
Oh, and outside of Japan people don't say "manga", they are called "comic" :P
They're comics all right, But Japanese comics are specifically called "manga", so people usually refer to jap comics as Manga, instead of just callin' it a comic. Or maybe just Japanese comics.
Who's 'we'?
What? Kishida won't be wearing them? I'm so disappointed. :(
jesus..70% of the maids in the pics are horrors...
surely they can employ better than this? especially at those prices.
Remember Detroit Maid Cafe?
oh god.. i had forgotten.
DMC!!!
When you least expect the mental image will return to haunt your dreams!
Rot in hell fuckimg Kishida and you crap retard stupid designs,
His designs were fine, It's just trying to make them into the 3D world. That's the problem. Honestly, You shouldn't tell someone to Rot in Hell.
well, it's obviously a troll sitting on his broken, rotted throne in his so-called delusional heaven.
His heaven is a moldy basement. His throne is made of garbage, of which a high proportion are made of suspiciously sour-smelling tissue. There's a broken mirror covered by cobwebbed curtains hidden somewhere I am sure.
I wish I could gather all you weeaboos into one island and nuke all of you from existence
That would be my dream. Sankaku would lose about 80% of its userbase, but sometimes sacrifices must be taken.
Personally I support the idea of flattening them with a steamroller so that they can finally become one with the 2D world.
define 'weeaboos' when you can hardly distinguish them IRL. fucking pleb thinks he's a pure, real deal realfag.
3D jap girls are so ugly compared to delicious 2D cutesy. They really need to find cuter girls for those cafes.
Reminds me an chapter of Franken Fran where she makes a girl as cute as 2D girls.
We don't need another RL Barbie.
@4:57
jap is a derogatory word. you should type it fully
I never knew that, actually.
*Btw I'm not 4:57, Just a random dude who Didn't know diz.*
He did a good job. I'm not saying it's Good tho. Tbh, I don't know how to clearly say it in words but.. It's kinda like those maid outfits look more like poorly made costumes than clothing... I hope I'm making sense to whoever reads this.
It's with any cosplay or when I see someone try dressing up with 2d clothing look-alike: Normal clothes look WAY better.
*The above 2 paragraphs are just my opinions.*
Actually, I do like the design of these dresses, especially the blue one...how does one get a hold of it?
those girls are not exactly the epithome of good looking... Not to mention, they look like they are wearing wigs.
Knee-socks go on slender thighs. Many of these girls don't have thin enough legs.
A wild forever-alone has appeared.
"Go,3D Women!"
Forever-alone has fled...
Maybe if the real life dresses weren't twice the size of the drawn version.
When I look at the concept image, the dress only covers about half a body's length. In the real life images, the dress is over 2/3rds. That's way too big for that kind of design.
the outfit would look better on certain girls unfortunately.
Lithe with slender thighs.
on lolis. hell yeah!
