Hand Maid Mai Review

Overall Rating 7.0 out of 10 - Worse than Hand Maid May. Shows why people want sexbots and waifus.

I recommend watching.

This is a standalone spinoff of similarly named, Hand Maid May. I wrote a review for it a while ago, but I probably need to expand it a little bit.

Unlike the original, that was a clear wish fulfilling style harem, this touches a little bit on why even bother with cyberdolls to begin with.

I watched it without subtitles, but I partly figured out the plot from what I saw. Girlfirend of the main character decided to dump him for some fat ass rich producer. The guy was sad and got himself drunk, but when he returned home to find that his good for nothing greedy gold-digging cunt of a girlfriend was replaced with three cyberdolls.

Unlike his useless selfish x-gf, these cyberdolls are actually nice and likable, especially Mai herself. Now male MC could finally find happiness with a woman. Cybernetic may be, but enjoyable one. Someone you will want to actually have in your life.

However, this show is here to make a point, rather than showcase the cyberdolls themselves. In the original, selection of dolls was better, and they were more likable too. In general Hand Maid May is much better at wish fulfillment aspect. It goes into more detail into how good these cyberdolls can be. However, as one follows misadventures of Saotome, one might fail to notice the main point of the show.

In contrast this OVA is just to make a point, that we are sick with female bs and want none of it. We would rather have 2D waifus than tolerate an insufferable gf. If she does not know how to please we do not need her. Even worse, if she does not even try to behave in likable in my eyes way and instead demands things from me, then I double do not need her. 

Overall, I recommend watching this. In fact, it is better to watch this first and then watch the original Hand Maid May. That way you will not lose the perspective.
