Hand Maid Mai

Hideo Ozu is an editor in a shady adult video company. For years, he has dreamed of being a motion picture director while his childhood friend Mai Kurosawa has become an upcoming actress. Then one day, his dreams are shattered when Mai takes all of his amateur videos of her and tells him to get out of her life. On his way home after a few drinks, Hideo bumps into Cyberdoll Sara, who makes him mark an invoice. When he arrives at his pad, Hideo is greeted by three Cyberdolls - Mai, Ai and Mie. All three of them happen to look like different age variations of Mai Kurosawa. And when Kurosawa announces the release of a biography video of her using Hideo's old footage, Hideo decides to start his directing dreams over again using his three Cyberdolls.

Hand Maid Mai

Although 3 OVAs were produced, only one was made availlable before the production company went bankrupt, and the ones who took over the title have not released the remaining 2 OAVs of this spin off from Hand Maid May.

The first and only availlable episode is quite nice in its animation style and art, and it is way more ecchi than its parent series.

The episode was funny to watch and beautiful to the eyes, so it is a real pitty the remainder episodes are still held back from releasing, although word from the present owners of this title did say they would release the ... full OAVs in time. As it is already a long time sice that, we cannot be sure if those words will be coming true or not, but one can hope.

I am surelly waiting to see the whole of Hand Maid Mai released.

The only watchable episode previewed a horny series with humor, an MC easy to cheer for, an intriguing concept of a futuristic organization sending androids into the past to solve seemingly trivial problems of a common person, and the timeless main conflict between the MC and the likely love interest. The OVA's animation isn't mind-blowing but character designs are distinct enough, the facial expressions can be goofy enough to be comedic, and the show does a great job portraying the lifeless eyes of the cyberdolls.

All of this is for naught though as there's only one episode. I wouldn't expect anything life-changing but I would ... have definitely watched this series if it were available
