FREEZING became a hit with me, so I thought, some more Japanese anime. And so it transpired that I selected MAID SERVICE. Yes, I wanted something kinkily controversial, and the box cover of this one lured me in, fool that I am. The box design, however, is utterly misleading. The Vanilla Series, judging from this, is a bland presentation of self- censored totally uninteresting mindless chickensh*t (and I know that word is gonna get censored, but dear IMDb control person, you should know, this DVD, gee, junk is not the word) and I've only watched the first episode, I'm in no mood to suffer through the second. Serves me right for buying bully porn? Actually, those soulful Japanese anime eyes in FREEZING played a very big part. I do enjoy watching frightened rabbits, if you'll catch my drift. But this is mindless drivel, it would have been bland in its uncensored form. The characterization is 100% in absentia, the artwork is lackadaisical, the only good thing is the box artwork. Which will no doubt lure in other fools.
Feel free to laugh at me. Another one bites the dust, and all that. Be earned that if you buy this, you are a fool. Unless you get it for 75c with the box included, then I'd say you have some value for your money, but the movie itself isn't worth a dime.
There is virtually no story. Some awful boy preying on a little orphaned waif. Bad angles from the viewer's point. Backs of heads in the way. No fun. Horrible script.
The only other anime I will ever buy again is the FREEZING follow-up. This was a waste of time, money and effort. What a first-class fool I am. Product should carry a warning label: Fool fodder.
Perhaps, in its original form, it is uncensored. It will still be useless. It is poorly presented, totally uninteresting.
Avoid it like the plague.
(This, indeed, is one of my most helpful reviews. It is absolutely spot-on. Anybody taking it to heart would be properly served)
I am not awarding it any stars. I refrain from giving it a 1. My official score 0 - 10. Abysmal.
