Summary: She's so cute
Review: I was expecting sexist jokes and very suggestive themes. Though the opening episodes start off with a lot of panty and cleavage shots, there is nothing even softcore about it. But plenty of fanservice, yes--but it's not overdone, because as the episodes progress the focus shifts to personal interaction. Anyway, this title is one of a few that begs to be watched again and again: the story is sophisticated, the characters are lovable, the animation, though simple, is effective. Also, the dubbing is great--the jokes are all effectively conveyed, which is not easy, because some characters are whacked out most of the time. As for May, she's just plain adorable. Can't wait to see the rest of the series.

Summary: Cute, funny, and worth whiel
Review: if you like Saber Marrionette J, and hate Hanogata, this is for you. Nanbara is the villian you love to watch take a fall, since he is so fruity. his dancing, prancing, and singing are so stupid they make him cool. Now if you don't like cutesy happy anime, and prefer a darker gritter stuff, this isn't for you. But if you like fanservice and bouncy women, check it out now! The only thing I didn't like about it was the animation gets a little too poor at times. It's funny for a while, but when too mcuh time is spent on distorted bodies, it looks a little too childish. (Of course Nanbara MUST dance!)

Summary: Nanbara wanted revenge...
Review: Nanbara hated Kazuya, because Kazuya always had it his way, even being poor and distracted all the time. So Nanbara placed a virus into Kazuya's computer. Which backfired.
Seconds later May is delivered to Kazuya's apartment. A 1/6 size Cyberdoll created by Cyberdyne CO, LTD. Which only costs $1,450,000 dollars!
Lots of fun scenes, silly characters, cool art and good voices. Wendee Lee is one of them, along with Lex Lang, Sandy Fox, Steve Cannon, and Rebecca Forstadt (Reba West), so you know I'm in love with it. Four episodes, with 100 minutes of anime, rated for 13 and up. Only two other DVDs to go!

Summary: cute, butt...
Review: The story is a cute idea, and May herself is very cute, too. But...or should I say "butt"...the panty shots and boob jiggles get to be a little much even before the first episode is over. If only real life were like this...It's all silly-cute, I guess. Actually, the part I find offensive is the antagonist, Nanbara. His voice and actions are so painfully annoying, I found myself muting him whenever he made an appearance. I can't tell you how much I hate that character, and when you first pop in the DVD, it opens to "Nanbara's Room" which is just too excrutiating to describe. If you're a hard-up anime fan and the only time you ever get to see a pair of white, cotton panties is when they're drawn on short-skirted cartoons, then this title is definitely for you!

Summary: Another great anime!
Review: This anime is truly one of the best I have seen. It's funny, cute, but most of all, it's has something what some of the anime I've seen don't have-PLOT. This series has more plot than Ranma 1/2 and Sailor Moon combined. Although I like Ranma 1/2 and Sailor Moon, I still like Hand Maid May, too. But parents beware, rated PG-13 UP

Summary: A wonderfully cute show, but...
Review: This disc contains the first 4 episodes of the 11 episode show Hand Maid May. There's no question HMM is a terribly cute and funny show. The basic dynamics are fairly common in anime: quiet, sensitive boy finds himself surrounded by interested girls. In poor Kazuya's case, most of the girls are androids--and one of those is a maid named May who's the size of a Barbie. The hows and whys of this all make sense within the context of the show; the drama (to the extent there is any, for this is a comedy) involves how Kazuya's going to pay the $1.45 million bill for May, or otherwise keep her from being repossessed. The character designs range from adorable to gorgeous, and the English dub cast is filled with experienced voice actors who do great jobs. There's only two potentially negative things to say about HMM. Neither made me lower my rating, but they might affect yours. First, this show is filled to overflowing with fan service: camera angles showing girls' underwear, girls bending over, and just generally bouncy girls. There's no actual nudity--it almost seems like an experiment to see how far a show can go and still remain mostly cute. While I could do without so much, it's basically innocent: Kazuya's too shy to do anything about it except blush. The second problem is the annoying DVD menu: when the disc loads, you're presented with a puzzle of sorts; you can't watch anything without figuring it out. It's an exact copy of the Japanese DVD release, so purists might like it, but it slows things down, doesn't make any sense, and doesn't add to the show in any way. Hopefully, future discs will have better menus, but HMM is a 5 star show despite these issues.

Summary: made to order ^_^ (note the word play, im so funny hehe)
Review: this is an absolutely wonderful anime! if you liked saber marionette J, J again, or J to X than you will absolutely love this anime! the animation is very nice, and i would give it a 4 out of 5. the story is based on a young man named Kazuya, who is trying to create and artificially intelligant robot (looks like a squid, quite cute) then, without giving away too much of the story, he ends up with cute little may, a cyber doll that was delivered to his door, and is just like a human, only she is a 1/6 scale model ^_^ sooo she is a little short. and it ends up that kazuya will have 4 cyber dolls, that look and act just like humans, living with him (may eventually gets upgraded to normal size) but buyer beware, this anime contains quite a bit of nudity, clevage, and other stuff like that. so if you are looking for an anime to buy your 10 or 11 year old, i would recomend Saber Marionette J instead, because it is very similar, but more audience friendly ^_^ if your not looking to buy for an 11 or 10 year old, and don't mind the nudity and stuff, than by all means, buy this!

Summary: I've seen it all and am better for it!
Review: This is an excellent series brought by Pioneer Animation. It involves comedy, seriousness (very little of), and caring devotion to fan service everywhere. "Hand Maid May" is the ultimate in fan service anime. Pantie shots and breast movements are a plus, and the characters all have it in for Kazuya Soatome. Kazuya is your average Pioneer Animation male lead character that is surrounded by beautiful well endowed girls/women. But then it all the sudden becomes serious and funny at the same time.
The series starts with little plot, but that grows as you watch it. Character development is a plus and so is the animation. Very high quality.
I give this series 5 stars due to its abundant fan service!
