Ladies Versus Butlers! - Reviews

Animated by Xebec, a studio that never made a worthy show in its whole existence. Directed by Ootsuki Atsushi, the same guy who did over the top erotic comedies such as Kanokon and Motto to Love-Ru. Yeah, you know right away in what you are getting yourself into.

Ladies versus Butlers is amongst the most honest anime in existence. At no point is it pretending to be anything other than brain-dead ecchi comedy. It doesn’t try to tell a story, it doesn’t try to have characters you should like, it doesn’t even try to be anything other than the tired, repetitive softporn humour the Japs are so good at and that is what makes it so much more enjoyable. So as long as all you want is endless retarded borderline hentai without irrelevant elements such as a plot or character emersion getting in the way, then this is the show for you.

I wish I could write ten pages of analysis around this show but the thing is, that way I would be pretending the show has something worth writing about and I would be lying. It is just aimless excessive fan service and thus I am objectively giving characters and story an ace, since the show is honestly telling us it doesn’t need such useless extra.

I have read many comments about the ending being terrible and how most were disappointed with the show because of that. Guys, seriously, you missed the point entirely; it was the perfect ending for such a show. If you subconsciously expected context, where there was none, the joke is on you. Its target audience doesn’t care at all about that, so why would the anime waste precious airtime on anything other than borderline hentai comedy to begin with? It is an endless parade of overused brain-dead erotic clichés, one after another, all accompanied with the much essential blank lead character who loves his virginity more than he loves to grope girls. Something that he is cursed to be doing every 30 seconds because they all constantly trip or are in need to be silenced by groping. That of course hints that the show attempts to have its own in-laws and subconscious messages over how you are supposed to react if you grope girls and I guess it is a minor negative aspect of the show; it should not even hint it has context. That is what prevented me from giving enjoyment the maximum score.

The production values are fine for such a show. The girls lack noses and some hairstyles may look like huge drills but that is the perfect way to separate one character from another. I mean, since they completely lack personality (and noses), the animators did the right thing to centre on boob sizes, hair colours and loli looks to help us tell apart who is who. What is so bad about that? Plus, they all have retarded squeaky voices, since this way it sounds funnier and it hints they are all underaged lolis. That makes the erotic humour a lot kinkier and funnier and one should not expect anything other than that.

I highly enjoyed the honesty of this anime and I gladly recommend it to all those of you who are displeased with context, character emersion, plots, and generally who don’t like thinking what the hell is going on with the anime while you are touching yourselves. It is really annoying when they try to distract you from your enjoyment like that.

Oh, and of course I forgot anything that happened in this show 10 seconds after I completed it. It may be the perfect method for endless replay value or just total lack of attachment with the show. Your call.

No scoring breakdown for this show. This would hint there is context.

Простейшая история компенсируется тем, что добрую половину экранного времени занимают голые нарисованные девки. Ну точнее как "компенсируется". Для меня это ещё один минус.

Story

I have no shame in watching ecchi, having 34 GG undulating on my screen is nothing unusual and this is no exception. Within the first 2 minutes the main male role has already found the bustiest girl and got his hands on her, still leaving time to hug after. This scene really sets the mood for the rest of the show, with the odd nipple thrown in for perks, pun intended.

Add a childhood friend who is the devil reincarnated as a school girl. A head teacher who is a bigger ecchi fiend then most adolescence teenagers on a hormone binge, a gender bending room mate and a voluptuous school girl who's cloths cant escape from her fast enough make for a memorable experience.

With the story set in a butler/maid and upper class school this is certainly not a rare creature to find. But even with a recycled idea the directors have managed to pull of a fairly good watch, especially for a genre that has heavy weights well above its reach. The major downside I found with this anime was the ending, it was flatter then Taiga Aisaka's chest. The only consolation I got from this was that the typically stupid male role wasn't going to be getting any that night ether.

Animation

I have seen worse but with more anime having definition so sharp the lead females can cut glass with there nipples, this was not anything to write home about.

Sound

Something that could definitely be improved on. With the voices being a little to similar on some characters and a little to high on others. Only marginally better sounding than a wet fart.

Characters

This was certainly a strong side to the show, with Todoroki giving me many a laugh as he risked life and limb to get closer to anything vaguely female or moving. Saikyou showing everybody that you really can't judge a book by it cover, as she schemes for her own entertainment mainly at the expense of "the drill". who was your average tsuendere but with lager than normal credentials. Finally the male lead Akiharu showed all of us that running is more than putting one foot in front of the other. Getting into sticky situations at every corner, but managing to come out alive in the end of them, just. With hand prints on his face that sometimes I felt you will slowly find your self rooting for him.

Overall

If your looking for an easy watching anime I would say that Ladies vs Butler is definitely worth a watch.

Stop watching after ep 4, so so so racist. Beside that this show's plot is either non-exsiting or very very slow burning. If you want hard ecchi this is great for that, but if you want a story you might wanna go somewhere else.

Title: Ladies Versus Butlers! - A Playful Ecchi Romp with Mixed Results

Story (6/10): "Ladies Versus Butlers!" is a classic example of an ecchi anime with a school setting. The story follows Akiharu Hino, a young man who enrolls in a prestigious academy to become a butler. The series revolves around his interactions with the various female students, who are both masters and potential love interests. While the premise is not groundbreaking, it serves as a vehicle for comedic and ecchi situations. The narrative can feel episodic, with some episodes focusing on character-driven humor, while others introduce more serious elements. It's a lighthearted romp, but don't expect deep storytelling. The anime is based on a light novel series, and it closely follows its source material.

Animation (7/10): XEBEC's animation for "Ladies Versus Butlers!" is consistent with the ecchi genre, featuring detailed character designs and fanservice-driven visuals. The character animations are expressive, and the series excels in portraying comedic reactions and over-the-top moments. While the animation quality may not be top-tier, it fulfills the expectations of an ecchi comedy.

Sound (6/10): The soundtrack of the series complements the comedic and ecchi elements with playful and lively tunes. The opening and ending themes are catchy and fit the tone of the show. Voice acting performances are serviceable, with the cast delivering their lines in a way that enhances the comedic timing. The sound does its job without standing out significantly.

Characters (6/10): The characters in "Ladies Versus Butlers!" fit into familiar archetypes commonly found in ecchi and harem anime. Akiharu Hino is the typical kind-hearted but clueless male protagonist, while the female characters represent various tropes, such as the tsundere, the childhood friend, and the aloof heiress. Despite the predictability of their character types, the interactions and comedic situations they find themselves in can be amusing. However, character development is limited in favor of comedic gags and fanservice.

Overall (6/10): "Ladies Versus Butlers!" is an anime that knows its target audience and caters to fans of ecchi and harem genres. While it doesn't break new ground in terms of storytelling or character development, it delivers on its promise of providing playful fanservice and comedic moments. If you're looking for a lighthearted ecchi romp with a school setting, this anime might be worth checking out. My overall score for the series is 6/10, reflecting its ability to entertain within the confines of its genre.
