  • July 26, 2000

In the anime series Hand Maid May, the first episode titled "Hello!" introduces us to the protagonist, Kazuya Saotome, a struggling computer programmer, who is living alone in his apartment. Kazuya is trying to develop a customized operating system but is facing various technical issues in the process.

One day, while Kazuya is working on his computer, he accidentally orders a Cyberdoll named May through an online auction. When May arrives at his doorstep, Kazuya is initially hesitant, but soon he realizes that May can help him with his work. May is a tiny android with a petite frame, blue eyes, and long blonde hair who is programmed to assist her owner in various tasks.

Kazuya is surprised to find out that May possesses an advanced AI system that allows her to generate her thoughts and emotions, making her appear more human-like. However, with time, Kazuya starts to realize that May's presence in his life has also brought more complications and challenges.

As Kazuya leaves for his university classes, he leaves May alone at home to take care of his domestic chores and work on his programming project. But as soon as Kazuya exits his house, some shady characters start to follow him, and after a few chase scenes, they manage to steal his laptop.

Unaware of the laptop theft, Kazuya returns home to find an unexpected surprise- dozens of Cyberdolls that May has ordered accidentally. As he tries to make sense of the situation, Kazuya receives a message from the laptop thieves, who demand a hefty ransom for the laptop's return.

With no other option left, Kazuya decides to participate in a matchmaking event organized by his university to win the grand prize money and pay off the ransom. But as luck would have it, Kazuya ends up fighting off a group of thugs, which ends up causing more chaos in his life.

Meanwhile, May also gets into a feud with another Cyberdoll named Cyberdoll Sara. As May tries to prove her dominance over Sara, she ends up destroying most of Kazuya's apartment. The episode ends with Kazuya and May returning to their damaged apartment, only to find out that all the new Cyberdolls have arrived, which sets up the plot for the rest of the series.

Overall, the first episode of Hand Maid May is an entertaining and humorous introduction to the series, showcasing the protagonist's struggles as a computer programmer and the unexpected challenges he faces after ordering a Cyberdoll. The episode sets up the plot for the future events of the series with an exciting cliffhanger and ends with a promising premise for the rest of the show.
