Like I said, some pretty special stuff. 
21+ 
?
So close to Hentai it's not funny.
I actually had a hard on on those specials, although it's just drawn erotic stuff, it was still fairly impressive.
If you are a guy, I can almost guarantee you will have a 'bone of stone' when you see some of the 'action' in the specials.
Ninja girl is, well, HOT.
Well, seeing as how I'm already here....
IT'S REVIEW TIME!
Well, we all know which anime I'm going to review, so lets get on with it.
Ladies vs Butlers has;
Ladies, Maids, pantsu, breasts, boing, insane hair, ecchi and of course, Butlers.
Did I mention it has breasts?
Lets meet the characters!
Hino Akiharu: Our 'hero'. He is at the Academy because.... he has no where else to go. Apparently the fees at the Academy are waived for whatever reason. He is training to become a Butler.
Saikyou Tomomi: She apparently knows Hino from an earlier point in her life. This qualifies her as a 'childhood friend'. You know what that means. She is Sernia's rival is all things.
Selnia Iori Flameheart: Is Tomomi's rival in all things. Has a strong belief in her family honor. Has awesome hair that reacts to her mood, which earns her the nickname 'Drill' from Hino.
Ayse Khadim: A very attractive Indian lady that doesn't talk much. She is watched over by.....
Hedyeh: An equally attractive body guard, who is skilled with many different weapons and would seem to be a match for a Ninja, but Indian style.
Pina Sformklan Estoh: A princess, who is also an otaku. She is into cosplay in a big way and later in the anime manages to get a number of the cast to cosplay with her.
Sanae Shikikagami: One of two sisters at the Academy. Sanae is a Maid, but she is a bit of a klutz. She will probably cause the world to end one day.
Saori Shikikagami: The other Shikikagami sister. Saori is a 'Lady', but she seems to be absent minded and has a strange habit that manifests at unpredictable times/places.
Mimina Ōsawa: Looks like a 10 year old, but is really 19. Really. Is a very good artist and becomes friends with Hino due to one of Tomomi's schemes that succeeds beyond all expectations.
Kaoru Daichi: Hino's room mate. He is a bit standoffish, but gets used to Hino eventually. Finds Hino annoying.
Shingo Todoroki: A Butler in training and one the few males at the Academy. He is a professional pervert and his only real reason for being there at all is the fact that all of the females at the Academy are cute!
Mitsuru Sanke: A Butler in training. Well behaved, polite guy who is generally liked by the Maids and Ladies at the Academy.
Kaede Tenjōji: The Academies Principal. She is an excitable lady, who enjoys playing eroge, so much so that she spends a little too much time doing so. Pina spends a lot of time with her when they discover they have a common interest in anime.
Mikan: The 'Head Maid' at the Academy and a lady to be respected and feared. Keeps a close eye on Shingo, as she knows of his perverse attitude. Has the ability to throw fountain pens with deadly force and accuaracy.
The story centers around our hero, 'Hino', a guy who looks a little suspicious because of a scar on his face.
Then there are 'Selnia Iori Flameheart' and 'Saikyou Tomomi', who are rivals in, well, pretty much everything.
In the first episode, we meet Hino as he is walking into the school.
Tomomi has been told to meet Hino and welcome him to the school, but at an earlier point Tomomi has upset Selnia, who has stormed away to walk off her anger and encounters.... Hino.
Seeing a 'suspicious' looking person, Selnia harasses Hino and they eventually end up in a compromising position, which turns into a mad chase through the school grounds, with Hino accidentally causing a number of female students to faint and generally not doing a lot for his reputation at the school.
Finally Hino ends up near Tomomi, who saves him from the 'mob'.
This is how Hino's life at the Academy begins.
As this anime moves along we discover that Tomomi has a 'dark side' to her and is not above manipulating people for her own ends.
She gets bored easily and that spells trouble for Hino, her 'child hood friend'.
As we go further into the anime, we discover that Tomomi and Selnia are indeed rivals in all things, from academic prowess to body proportions and.... love.
In order for the Butlers and Maids to advance, they have to take special 'exams', which involve getting a 'card' from one of the Ladies.
Once this happens they are required to do as told before hand by the Head Maid, Mikan.
During one of these exams, where Hino takes a 'card' from Selnia, the instructions are to stay at her home for 3 days and observe the servants working there in order to gain knowledge of how to do his work properly.
Selnia doesn't know of these instructions and the look on her face when she is told this is quite funny.
This stay at Selnia's house also brings about a few plot changes.
Of course, any anime that has guys and girls in it, will also have some sort of romance happening, and LvsB is no different.
Certain characters come to realize that maybe they like Hiro a bit more than they thought they did, including a rather surprising one.
In the last episode we discover that Hino is very dense when it comes to certain matters, so dense in fact that he makes bricks look like water, to the disgust of many of the characters.
Ladies vs Butlers is, when you get right down to it, an ecchi comedy of epic proportions.
There are very few episodes where there isn't an 'ecchi moment' of some sort, whether it is Sanae being a Klutz and ending up with her panties exposed on the floor after making a mess or a general 'bath scene'.
It's all very well done in most cases, it's not offensive and when it's in an unusual place, it is very often funny.
My favorite character would have to be Sanae Shikikagami, she means well and tries hard, but she is a major Klutz. Imagine my delight when I discovered she has a sister!
Do I think there is a second season coming? Heck yes.
It could end here, but I'm betting it doesn't.
There are a number of things that really need to be finished up and sorted out, least of all Daichi's..... interesting situation.
Do I think they can top the ecchiness of this series in the next season?
Not by a heck of a lot. Much more and it will cross into 'Soft Hentai' territory, but that wouldn't be a bad thing if it was well done.
If like ecchi and you like a laugh, try this.
Next up is "Umineko no Naku koro Ni". From the little bit I've seen so far, this looks like it will be much different from Ladies vs Butlers.
