Your single parent mother has just died and now your poor excuse of a life is coming to an end. Luckily for Tarou Hanaukyou, his previously-unknown grandfather heads a huge organization with seemingly endless resources. Tarou soon finds his way over to his grandfather's estate, supposedly in Toyko(?), where he is immediately overrun by literally hundreds of maids waiting for his orders. These maids are not just ordinary maids, these are specialist maids who handle everything from cleaning and construction to security and cyber-warfare; oh, and they also are trained to take Tarou's grandfather's perverse orders.
Hanaukyou is a light, ecchi, not-so-ordinary slice of life. You'll find a bit of comedy, a very slight amount of action, and a lot of nonsense. Considering the outrageous nature of…

"Hanaukyou Maid-tai" is a surprisingly entertaining Ecchi flick. And by "entertaining" I don't mean it in the "it's so bad it's entertaining" sense like those terrible Onegai series. It's still a bad show, but it does at least have some redeeming qualities, which is a lot more than what you can say for other ecchis.
Ecchi and Comedy. That pretty much sums up this anime. Those two are also two of my least favourite genres. Ecchi... well, not much to be said here - I dislike it for pretty much the same reason many other people dislike it, and it's no exception when it comes to the ecchi elements in this anime, except that a lot of the time I was able to overlook it for some reason. The comedy... I have to say, though I'm really not a fan of this type of comedy, "Hanaukyou Maid-tai" really…

Well, this was my first Harem anime and it was actually quite surprising at what I was watching, it was a lot better than i had expected, the humour was good with the many embarrassing situations that the maids get Taro into.
I also particularly liked the side story of Taro and Mariel, but since I can't give much away, I would recommend this anime, although be warned its rated 15+ for female nudity and some mild language.
I found the characters, which all had their own different traits to be a very good plot line also, with Mariel being the maid of maids, the three sisters, Lemon Melon and Maron as the seductive types and etc.
This Anime gets a 4.5 from me which is equal to 9 out of 10 on here. A must see for all Harem and Bishojo lovers out there.
P.S I did not watch this for the Bi…

Tarou Hanaukyo, a typical nebbish, becomes the heir of his insanely wealthy grandfather and must move into the family mansion inhabited by hundreds of identical maids, who bathe him, rub their breasts in his face, and wait on him hand and foot.
This crude, grotesquely drawn comedy can think of nothing to do with the Maid permise other than sheer numerical overkill.
The few maids with distinct personalities and appearances, who guard the house with sci-fi technology, are boring stereotypes.
You will enjoy this anime if you have an enormes Maid Fetish !!!

First off I will say I orginally planned on watching this because I knew there was a newer version where it was apparently remade. It was my plan to watch this and then it's remake to see how much it had improved but in the end after watching this I couldn't even begin to think about watching a remake because of how mediocre and unentertaining this was. Not to mention each episode was incredibly short and there were two extra episodes not accounted for that I had to watch.
Story- Okay this is starting to become a very generic story line where boy inherits manner with maids money yadda yadda etc nothing new to anybody. We have our main character who's grandpa died and left him with a huge fortune and manner full of maids to "service" him at all times. An invariable paradise for any other ma…
