Series Review

Servant x Service

So I wasn't really expecting much out of this series when i started it... But almost instantly it pulls you in with the hijinx and comedy. The characters are pretty endearing and you almost feel bad for them sometimes.

The story revolves around a group of new hires at the local Ward Office or to put it more simply... Welfare workers. I know what you're thinking... why didn't they do this sooner. Apparently they have alot more services over there than we do here and there all kinds of different departments and stuff.

There are some small recurring laughs that you can kind of count on. The Section Chief is very shy and somehow attends his job as a lil pink bunny... Lucy (yamagami) was curse at birth by a pair of retarded parents who gave her an outlandishly stupid name. She's embarrassed by it almost the entire time. Hasebe is kind of a genius but a slacker to no end. Miyoshi is too nice and is always having her ear talked off by an old lady named Tanaka. Chihaya is an cosplay fanatic who loves to make clothes and is also very apathetic at time. Ichimiya is a Siscom who is secretly dating Chihaya but puts Toko first in everything... Poor Chihaya. Toko is Ichimiya's imouto who at the same time as hes a siscom she is a brocom girl who berates everyone at the ward office.

They each have a story. Lucy's is about finding the civil servant who approved such a ridiculous name and complain to them.  Hasebe just joined civil service because he wants an easy life. Miyoshi wasnt really done with college but decides to get a job. Ichimiya needed to support his sister because there was no father in the picture. Chihaya is actually a temp who's been there for 3 years. 

If you enjoy laughing and a lil bit of romance that this series is a must see especially at only 13 episodes. Almost feels like it was over too soon but who knows if there will be any form of sequel whether in OVA or Anime form.
