Hanaukyo Maid Team La Verite – Lost In Kamakura

(Volume 2/Animé TV)

 

Picture: C+     Sound: B-     Extras: C-     Episodes: C+

 

 

Hanaukyo Maid Team La Verite is part of a comedy cycle of Animé TV shows that we see surface occasionally in the shows we look at.  There are also some strange and unusual animated moments like nothing we have seen before, but cannot reveal them or ruin any surprises.  On the other hand, the humor gets thin quickly and the fanfare segment on Animé and their comic book equivalents are not explored as much as they ought to be.  The shows here are:

 

5) Ryuka Again

6) Budget Contest

7) Unidentified Living Creature

8) Woman In A Sports Car

 

This is for ages 16 and up, so know some of the humor gets racy, but we’ve seen worse.  Too bad this was not better and more inventive.

 

The full frame 1.33 X 1 image is on the colorful side with some good animation, though the details are limited by the format.  The Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo has Pro Logic surrounds that try to up the humor.  The only extras include textless closing credits and previews for three other Geneon Animé DVD titles, though this copy had a limited edition pencil case artwork piece.
