Hanaukyo Maid Team La Verite – Lost In Kamakura
(Volume 2/Animé TV)
Picture: 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.
