Back when I dropped Hand Maid May, I was so upset and unhappy about it, that I postponed posting about it... and by now I forgot completely what was so bad about it. Probably the annoying loli and the treatment of Sara by creators, but I cannot be sure. I know that Nanbara was surprisingly bearable, that much is recorded, but there are no other notes.

I think now that my HMM saga started with a fanservice ranking list at Chizumatic. My note about it says "above Popotan" (I'm getting very lazy with pencil recently). Then, there was direct advocacy that sprung a dialog at Twitter:

jpmeyer: @zaitcev, yeah, hand maid may might be the best harem show that i can think of. note that i don't count to heart in this category
owen_s: @jpmeyer eh, what makes it "good" harem in your book?
jpmeyer: @owen_s @zaitcev every single thing SDB says about it

Well, shit. You bet I was demoralized by the mismatch between the peer pressure and what was shown on screen. When I ragequit, I read the TMW and it seemed like a different show entirely. Now that I'm calmer about it, I regret that I didn't keep good notes.
