Hand Maid May - Product Recall Vol. 2 VHS

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.

Saw on YouTube before more then once hope you get more videos for other anime fans who wants to get the series didn’t come till near 6pm our mail comes late or early depending on the day. Everything was in good had have some DVDs come out not in the holding good. But watch it wish they would make more seasons of this one and other Funimation shows.

atthecon.com reviewed this anime. This was a fun little anime, not too deep, not too much fan service or slapstick. A lot of fun. If you like this type of genre then you will enjoy this anime. 4/5.

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!

more junk

If you're under 13, this is not for you. If you're above 18, why would you get this one? May is a special robot, a cyberdoll with a maid program who lives with an engineering student Kazuya. A cyberdoll with feelings? Actually, those humanoid robots with feelings are nothing but old concepts already. As much as this anime tries to be a touching comedy, there are more perverted scenes than comedic lines that you will notice. No, it's not like Ranma 1/2. Ranma 1/2 can be ecchi but Rumiko Takahashi knows how to concentrate on the great script and charm slapstick. (...)

this is an alright show nothing great but enjoyable. it centers around a guy named kazuya who accidently orders a miniature cyberdoll maid named may who does your typical maid things like cleaning house, cooking etc. as time passes they start getting feelings for each other but then comes the part of this show that really irks me.this is an 11 episode series and that is way way to few to keep adding all these new characters every episode. the show is just fine with kazuya may and the nextdoor neighbor kasumi(more on her later) and one of the them comes at nearly the very end of the show you hardly even get a chance to know her. they are all cyber maids who for one reason or another hang around kazuya. there are just too many characters and there is absolutely zero character development except for a little bit from may if that even counts. by the time the show is over you wont know much about the other cyber maids that you wouldnt have figured out 10 seconds after seeing them for the first time.there are a lot of girls so that means there has to be fanservice, about 95% of this comes from kasumi who always seems to at just the right angle that gives you a shot right up her skirt so you can see her panties. every episode has at least 1 panty shot and everytime she "accidently" flashes them kazuya always peeks. not really recommened for younger viewers. i cant really say the plot is rushed as there really isnt much in the way of a plot. the next door neighboor kasumi and may have a crush on the kazuya and they feud at times, the other girls supposedly have a crush on him too but youd have a hard time telling at times. when it gets near the end of the series it is somewhat interesting and does get to be a little better but then before you know it the show is over abruptly, the ending did not feel like a real ending i was not satisfied with it.if you have 5 hours to kill this is an enjoyable watch and its actually not as predictable as some other animes(ok i know thats not saying much but there are a couple scenes that may surprise you)but after its over you will either wish it was longer or wasnt that impressed with it, it just leaves you with a sense of incompleteness if you can i would just rent it or borrow it from someone unless your just into shows with lots of girls and lots of panty shots and if your that type then there are plenty of better choices

LOVE hand maid may! I completely forgot about this anime! I seen it when I was a child! I am so glad that I found this anime again. Brings back memory's! This classic anime still holds up for an anime that is a few years away from turning 20 years old!!!
