Hand Maid May (2000) https://anidb.net/anime/60 Source: US/R1 DVD (Pioneer/Geneon) Video: x265/HEVC, 704x480, 4:3 Audio: Japanese, AAC CBR 128kbit/s stereo Subtitles: English, ASS softsubs. "Saotome Kazuya, a student at the prestigious Osza no Mizu Industries University, was never good with girls. The cute girl who lives next door continually teases him, and he pays no mind. Instead, he is absorbed in his work, creating an octopus robot that uses advanced artificial intelligence. One day, his boisterous rival gives him a mysterious CD-ROM that contains a virus intended to destroy his computer and ruin his work. Instead the CD takes him to a website where he accidentally orders May — a 4-inch android girl designed to help out around the house. " (AniDB) A light, fun, ecchi-ish comedy series this time. Notes: Couldn't find a decent rip of this one. Most were old xvid/divx rips, and the one somewhat more recent rip I checked was an extreme example of overfiltering, with all background detail removed and replaced with flat color surfaces (or with luck, gradients), and to top it off color saturation had been cranked up to acid trip levels. As usual I went with the opposite approach. The source was extremely noisy so denoising couldn't be avoided, but only what I could get away with without visible detail loss. Besides that, only slight antialiasing, so it should be pretty close to the original, (most of the) warts and all. For subs again the usual - sign positioning, typo fixing, lyrics, and small extra touches (mostly ep 11) :) -X
