Ladies versus Butlers!



Description from AniDB: The school romantic comedy revolves around Hino Akiharu, an ordinary high school student who unfortunately looks like a juvenile delinquent. He enrolls into an academy that was once a school for upper-class ladies, and he is placed in the school's newly established servant training department. The students there are raised to be either maids or butlers, and Akiharu finds himself in the middle of the bickering cliques.

[Doki] Ladies versus Butlers! - 01 - PreRelease (1280x720)

Director, character designer, studio, and primary broadcast station have all been affiliated with Kanokon, so those who watched that series should find some familiar ground here.

Primary Cast:
Kawasumi Ayako (Kanokon, F/SN, Nodame, etc)
Okitsu Kazuyuki (Toradora as the friend with glasses)
Nakahara Mai (Higurashi, Mai Hime, Clannad)

---------------------------

There was some heavy censorship, but considering it is airing on one of the satellite channels (same one as Kanokon and Queen's Blade), it will probably be less of an issue once the real broadcast starts. If the censorship is still that heavy, I'll probably wait for the DVDs to watch this.

I liked seeing Kawasumi Ayako as a sadist character, and Nakahara Mai as a rich, fiery ojou-sama (who is comes from the 'Fireheart' family, heh). The rich ojou-sama has the enormous twin-drills. That picture does their size no justice. Ecchi levels are high, but the humor wasn't bad. The episode basically gave zero indication of where it is going, if anywhere, but they introduced much of the cast so it should be good for a bit of shallow fun.
