4 out of 5 stars Hand Maid May-Product Recall (Vol. 2).......2003-03-22

This is a very bright, cheerful series! It has nice, bright animation, catchy opening and closing theme music, and plenty of laughs! I'm also happy to say that unlike some anime dubs, the voice actresses/actors are great (Lia Sargent is perfect in doing the voice of May)! There are too many panty ... shots, especially when you consider the two characters who are used to provide the majority of these shots (May and Kasumi) are extremely likable characters! Nevertheless, I liked this anime a lot! In the eleven episodes we have some nice little lessons about friendship, loyalty, and effort! What more could you want! PS- When watching Episode #5, bring some Kleenex, it's very touching, really! PPS- You'll LOVE May, she's just ADORABLE!

Volume 2 of Hand Maid May contains episodes 5, 6, and 7 of the series. May returns only as a full-sized cyber-doll and we are introduced to other interesting characters including another cyber-doll.

This series is very kawaii (Japanese for cute), sweet, and who can not love May? Unfortunately, the fan-service (gratuitous showing of panties, jiggling breasts, etc.) is so severe at times that it tends to overwhelm the story. Not that the story is deep mind you, but a lack of fan-service would have helped tremendously (IMO).

The DVD contains few extras. Unlike in the first DVD, there is no annoying pre-menu to go through. That is good. I wish that Pioneer had had a 3rd audio option in addition to English dub, Japanese, and full subtitles. A limited subtitle option with the English dub (or Japanese) would have been nice. This way, songs and Japanese text would be subtitled rather than the all-or-nothing approach.

Speaking of dubbing, the English dub is really pretty good! The voice actors do a really good job at capturing the spirit of the characters. The only thing lost is in the use of Japanese titles (-kun, -chan, -san, etc.). English doesn't have proper translations for such titles, but I think I would have allowed them to stay in the English version. A small glossary in the extras could have educated the ignorant as to these terms.

Bottom line: If you can get past the fan-service, this is a sweet, cute, and often very funny series!

5 out of 5 stars A great DVD to own!.......2002-09-04

The Hand Maid May saga continues...with 3 brand-new episodes! Join Kazuya Saotome as May gets taken away from him, but comes back bigger! What'll have next? Well, buy this wonderful DVD and maybe you'll find out for yourself!

5 out of 5 stars I loved this!.......2002-07-07

I just love this soooo much! It was so cute and funny!

5 out of 5 stars SOOOO CUTE!.......2002-07-03

This volume was probably my favorite of all. It was just so funny to see Nanbara fall in love with May at the fireworks festival, after he had been mean to her when she was a 1/6 size cyberdoll. I have all 3 volumes, and like I said, this volume is probably my favorite volume of all!!!!
