Ladies versus Butlers!

Ladies versus Butlers! is a harem, ecchi, comedy, slice of life anime. It's a pretty generic anime in each of its perspective categories. If I were to watch this when it came out in 2010 I don't think I would be able to appreciate it as much as I do now in 2022. Every episode felt.. dangerously exciting. There's plenty of nudity if that's your thing, and it's not really sexualized nudity (with a few major exceptions). There are things said that would not fly in today's climate and it was so refreshing to take a trip back to when things were simple and the ... world wasn't so uptight. I would definitely say give this anime a watch; at the very least it's hilarious.

Ladies vs Butlers is one of those harem anime that you'd expect to find in a bargain bin of tropes. The plot centers on Hino Akiharu, a rough-around-the-edges guy who ends up at an elite academy for butlers and maids. However, the academy mainly consists of girls and (at maximum) 4 guys. Cue the onslaught of predictable harem antics as a bevy of girls surrounds him, each fitting snugly into your typical harem stereotype: the childhood friend who’s probably too forgiving, the tsundere who can't decide if she loves or hates him, the shy loli who looks like she's ten but in actuality is 19, ... the dark-skinned foreign girl, the tomboy crossdresser, the cosplay otaku, the cute clumsy girl, and the shameless girl that takes off her clothes whenever among other tropes.

If you're looking for character depth, well, you won't find much here. The characters are cardboard cutouts from the harem factory, each fulfilling their role with little to no development. The main lead isn't your average harem lead but he's still one-dimensional. His guy friends aren't much to write about either. There was some other male character that would show up randomly but I couldn't even tell you his name nor what relevance he had to the show as a whole. The plot? It's okay but it is by-the-numbers as it gets. You'll see every twist coming a mile away because, well, you've seen it all before in countless other shows that likely done it better. But if you came here for the boob physics, nudity, and accidental groping moments then this show has it all!

In the end, Ladies vs Butlers is for those who can't get enough of the ecchi/harem genre and don't mind watching something that offers nothing new. It’s the anime equivalent of comfort food: familiar, easy to consume, but utterly unremarkable. If you’re hoping for anything groundbreaking, keep looking. This one’s strictly for the fan service aficionados.

This show is garbage, shows that end up without a real outcome are garbage, the writer is trying to please everyone and ends up pleasing no one with a half assed outcome, I'll rate this show garbage out of 10. And now, I wasted 6 hours of my life watching this piece of crap because a misleading synopsis and a score that should be 50% less than what it is.
