Hanaukyou Maid-tai: La Verite

Don't let the art and the uninspired intro to turn you off. Its predecessor may have better art but this remake/reboot is superior in terms of pacing and cohesion of story. This anime does a great job at making a relatively simple story enjoyable to watch. The ones who created this work did a great job fleshing out each character making them stand out and unique. This is more of a romance anime rather than a harem.

Some criticisms:

The intro is boring and could use a little bit more creativity.
The background art is inferior to the original anime. (The character design ... is better though)
Not much is disclosed about the MC's life before he became the head of the family.

I quite like this anime considering how old it is, I think this is one of them funny super comfy old animes to sit back and watch while you have a drink or some food, I watched this whilst having some downtime, I'm not sure how I feel about a certain relationship and think another one should've been focused. however, overall I find this anime to certainly be enjoyable. I recommend you to watch this anime but I won't, however, spoil it, you'll either like it or dislike it, most of the maids are pretty funny even though slightly cliche. overall I'm very pleased that ... I watched this, i would be rated higher if I seen the ship head in Konoe Tsurugi directions as i think she was so cute, and seeing her emotions kick in made me continue watching and finishing the anime

I have to also say Konoe Tsurugi is by far the best girl and i won't accept any other answers, i absolutely love everything about her, she's one of the main reasons I continued watching, the anime itself isn't something special, however, it is nice and I somewhat miss the old anime art styles, something about them just hits different compared to modern-day anime

Ugh, the lovefest for this terrible show is sickening. Let me tell you all why this show is awful:

You know the plot. Little kid is benefactor to billions, has an army of maids that will do anything for him, etc. We know the storyline. And that's fine. The genre exists because shows that do it right can be fun. (See Hayate no Gotoku, Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de, even Ah! My Goddess) A fantasy escape of sorts.

But this is none of those things. In fact, this show is worse, because it had potential and bombed. First, it starts off as a complete ... ecchi comedy. Episode 1 is 95% ecchi with one-liner jokes and the main character running around his big castle trying to get away from a thousand naked girls trying to smother him (which by the way is getting real old. What boy aged 12 to 90 would do that?) Now guess how much that happens the rest of the remaining 11 episodes? Maybe twice. The show then completely flips into some kind of sob story about his main maid and how her "secret" might tear them apart.

So fail part 1: absolutely no tone or theme is set up, leading the watcher down a road of certain disappointment.

Second, what little hint we get of a protagonist is actually some busty chick who is god-moded the few times we see her to where there's little hope of anyone beating her until all that's left for the artist to do in order to back himself out of his own corner is to come up with a rediculous deus ex machina that borders on razziedom. Seriously terrible. I almost am tempted to reveal what happens just to save you all from it.

Third, there's no conclusion. No one grows from this. It's like it's back at day one when the final episode concludes. Apparantly, the end is supposed to set up a "2nd season" but there's no reason for anyone to want more. That's like asking for more food-poisoning after throwing up all over the bathroom. You throw the bad food out is what you do.

Avoid this show like you avoid viruses. Please.
