HAH!
This anime is pretty much a joke. I do not recommend watching this. Makes me wonder why I went through it. Yes, I completed all 12 episodes. It was not fun. If you happen to disregard this review and watch this terrible show, I beg you, don't expect anything serious! In fact, just expect the worst!! Perhaps that state of mind will result in some pleasant surprises. Be thankful that it's only 15min episodes.
Hanaukyo Maid Tai was a decent show. It was semi-entertaining. However, what makes this an utter failure is that every aspect was weak. The story was weak, the characters had little attractive qualities, and the music left much to be desired!
Oh gosh. The story. First of all there was so much sexuality in this anime. Not that sexuality is a bad thing on its own. However, when coupled with a main character who is merely a middle school student, it seems wrong! They're also quite misleading... they bombard you with nudity in the first episode, leave the nudity out for the rest, and then bring it right back at the end! The story was pretty much an excuse to have a guy surrounded by, literally, hundreds of maids. The anime shows miscellaneous events of what's-his-face (Taro) settling into the mansion and interacting with the maids, he develops a crush on the head maid Mariel.
Characters: AWFUL. Well, they're actually not that bad. There were some interesting characters such as Cynthia, the mute young maid and the zany technology maid (you see, this anime is so great that I don't remember their names at all). The major point though. Taro, the main guy, had NO good qualities that deserves such affection from all these maids. He was sometimes pathetic. For example, letting all the maids do whatever they want even when he was against it - he did not confront them.
Direction sense was alright. Making it somewhat entertaining. Also, the ending was probably the best they could do with what they had. It did not conclude any issues, but I think they tied it pretty well. However, Hanaukyo Maid Tai is not something I'd recommend. The OP and ED sequence are meager, and the story is awful. Do not take time out of your schedule to watch this, it is not worth it. | |
