Reviews for Hand Maid May

Video:

Very good, but could be better. It has some pixels and imperfections. Sometimes looks a little grainy

Audio:

It seemed good. I didn't notice any sound drops.

Subtitle:

The main problem. Subs can be seen in a grainny white. It's definitely based on the fansubs, using literal translations, but unlike them, some are actually missing letters, or have grammatical errors. (There's even a part where the names of two proffessors who created a set of theories, apparently couldn't be translated so their names are just put as "????? theory and ???? theory"). The opening and ending are not even translated as well as the epilogue. The bonus episode has completely mistranslated subs (Ikaria was translated as "Taco Lya" and many of the sentences make no sense and have no relation to what is going on)

Comment:

One other problem I found is that the opening and ending are removed from each episode, execept for the first and last episode on each disc. They also have the trailers for the next episode only at the last episode too (they also aren't subtitled) Basically, if you want to see the op/ed with the original japanese text and really don't care for subtitles, then this at best is ok for viewing, but if want a better quality with better subtitles, then buy one the english dub sets.

Very good. Some slight pixelation now and then and slight flickering at the bottom of the screen.

Audio:

Very good stereo. Slightly inconsistent volume.

Subtitle:

Very good subs. Slight drop in quality in episode 11. The epilogue (after episode 11) isn't subbed.

Comment:

That's the stuff I like. Romantic comedy with lots of cute girls and some ecchi moments thrown in. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This series is excellent. While not as good as Love Hina in my opinion, it's still worth a look. The whole series is 11 episodes (but believe me a lot of stuff happens). Audio and video are excellent. The subtitles are not perfect (some bad grammar, mistimes, mispellings here and there) but are all understandable. Fun romantic comedy series.

This series is like Love Hina without the two specials and the Love Hina Again OVA... unresolved. Video: 5/5- Great, DVD quality for sure. Audio: 5/5- Also excellent, no buzzing or other abnormalities. Subs: 4/5: Very good, probably from a fansub, totally understandable. Case: 2/5: I was so disappointed.. I got a standard Manga gatefold. Its like this cardboard gatefold inside a cardboard slip over that has the hand maid may art and such. Overall it was a good series, not as funny as Love Hhina, but still entertaining

5/5 for the video. Crystal clear with vivid colors and no distortions or glitches. 4.5/5 for the sound. Clear stereo sound with no humming that I could detect. 4.5/5 for subbing. Very understandable with a missing letter here and there but the problem is very rare. Gotta be from a fansub. Almost perfect. Overall a very good,funny romantic comedy series with very fluid animation. If you like love hina give this a try. edited by wingsta on 31 Mar 2002 11:18 pm
