Kawaii/Fan Service/Modern Titles

#
Kawaii: (↗kawaii (可愛い) = "cute" or "adorable") If you've watched anime in Japanese, you've heard characters use the term 'kawaii'. So if the title makes you want to say that (often using ↗chibi characters, i. e. small and super-deformed), then it fits.

Fan Service: (Objectionable Content) This is a term coined to identify things like jiggling breasts, cleavage shots, panty shots, bra shots, closeup shots of women's breast, legs, butt, etc., and mild nudity all for the purposes of "servicing" the audience. The term has a second meaning covering things like massive action sequences, explosions, fights, etc., but it mostly refers to the first meaning.

Modern: (Setting) These are titles which have a modern feel to them; the story takes place in the present day (of the creation of this anime), give or take a few years.

Hanaukyo Maid Tai
Rent After his parents died, little boy Hanaukyo Taro suddenly finds himself in possession of his grandfather's mansion where a large staff of very kawaii, 'specialist' maids are more than eager to 'do service' for him - day and night! Which will cause lots of problems as Taro is allergic even to them touching his skin - except for one maid, that is ... don't you take this funny fan service orgy and parade of cute young maids too serious!

Hanaukyo Maid Tai La Verite
Rent This new series starts as a remake of Hanaukyo Maid Tai but soon goes beyond that storywise, so in a way you may also see it as a sequel.
