Review:

Hand Maid May. As I do with super cute anime's, I fell in love with it. It is set around the life of a uni student, named Kazuya, who is attempting to create a fully AI controlled robot, Ikaria. After a hard day of school, Kazuya's best friend / rival gives him a new 'program' to try. When Kazuya tries to run it, he finds out it to be a virus! The virus runs itself, and orders a Hand Maid by the name of .. May. A few seconds later, a knock on his door reveals a delivery girl, and he recieves May, the six inch high robot.

This is a super cute series right from the word go. If you are the kind of person who enjoyed Love Hina, then HMM is defiantly for you. If your tasted will only revolve around Evangelion or Kenshin, then this isn't your bag.

The plot isn't exactly something that can be deeply analyzed as other animes, simply because it wasn't meant to be. Although I would hate to admit it, it has a typical plot. Geek surounded by cute ladies. All works out well. But that was why I loved it.

A lot of people weren't as taken to the little May as I was, and most people didn't enjoy the hentai/ecchi comedy that was used so often. The location of May's USB port is a little over the top even for my liking, especially the way that Kazuya had to find it.

But don't get me wrong. I've read a lot of reviews by people who say that the fanservice / hentai jokes were extremly over the top, but I completely disagree, although the show was directed at the teenage male, of which I am.

The animation in this series is excellent, similar to Love Hina. The characters are all well drawn, and for those who watch in the middle of the series, there becomes quite a suprise. An anime well worth seeing if that takes your pick.
