I was expecting Meirin from Kuroshitsuji to rank on the maid list. Skilled gunsman, and her "regular" maid duties generally create disasters.

I'm not at all surprised that Misaki Ayuzawa made it on The List. Her hot-tempered characteristic, combined with her fear of being found out that she works at a maid café has made for some very hilarious moments throughout most of Maid-Sama. Never will I forget the moment that I laughed like there would be no tomorrow throughout the first two episodes, particularly when Misaki came close to running her own miniature school dungeon by angrily tossing an unruly perverted male student into the janitor's closet and locking him up indefinitely.

I was scared for a second that Roberta wasn't #1.

Code Geass' Sayoko is a Ninja Maid and thus I don't get why she wasn't included.

Fiore from Chrono Crusade would have made a good candidate as well.

Would Su-Na Lee from Freezing count as a maid? If not, then I think that Kuroshitsuji's Mey-Rin is also a good option.

I know the list isn't supposed to be definitive but even so, Maid Guy is a shocking omission.

I'm surprised the maid from Black Butler didn't make it on the list.
Hmm- my favorite is the 3rd Pokemon movie. There's something endearing about Molly and Entei, and the imaginary effects that were created by the Unknown.
I thought most of the movies after the 3rd one were okay at best. Personally, the worst of the movies were the Genesect movie (with the second Mewtwo that I was extremely disappointed with) and the Diancie movie (Caitlin Glass couldn't save how irritating that movie was.)
However- I do recommend Sword of Justice, the Keldeo vs Kyurem movie to anyone who has doubts about the recent Pokemon movies. It was a pretty enjoyable and genuinely a good and even funny movie. It helped that Ash, the gang, and even Team Rocket were barely involved and it was all about Keldeo and his development.
There was also a few funny lines that my friends and I still quote.
"Thank you for saving us, Ash."
"Wait, how do you know my name?"
"We heard it through the ice."

I wasn't expecting Touhou to be on the list because it's a video game first and not an anime, but still, I'd place an honorable mention for Sakuya and her many, many knives. Not to mention, the whole time manipulation thing.

Roberta is the best maid you can have
her umbrella weapon is also in Kingsman movie..
Bar fight, Car Chase then Cat fight at the end
that's the greatest way to introduce a new character ever!!

Yeah, where is Sayoko? She nearly (accidently) killed Ougi at some point.

I'd say Meyrin from Kuroshitsuji should deserve an honorable mention, don't you agree?

In my extremely biased and nostalgia blinded opinion I would have to choose the 2nd pokemon movie. The music in the dub version was amazing.

Damn right Roberta's number 1.
As for favorite Pokemon movie, I'l have to go with number 3. Just a question though: why do you have the option for "no answer" on the poll page? Wouldn't one simply not vote if they didn't have an answer? Just a little confused is all.

Roberta is blatantly obvious for the number one spot; it goes without saying. I'm inclined to mention Lilica Stacy from Girls Bravo as a deadly maid to add to the list.
I am surprised to see Airi from Queen's Blade on there, but I'm pleased as well; she can drain life force from various organisms from animal to plant with via touch. With people it's from the mouth (Queen's Blade's imaginative fan service). She can fly around, wields a scythe and of course has undead minions to assist her.
I should also note that like many of the characters of Queen's Blade, her character design is very distinct with a charismatic flair; in other words, like many of the other characters on QB, she looks pretty cool; the scythe really makes it all come together though.
I should note, that like Roberta, Airi isn't all evil; she has a kinder, gentler side to her which is explored in the second half of the first series. This plays well to one of the show's themes, duality; good and evil coexisting in every being.
When Airi is introduced she's conveyed as sinister and evil, but later on, we're shown that she has the capacity to be kind, compassionate and empathetic.
Her duality is explored even further in the "Beautiful Fighters" OVA series.
