Watching the Japanese Anime "Hand Maid May" reminds me that the US
people
seem to have forgotten how to DREAM and foster dreams in young people.
This is a story who's main character's dream is to build robots and his
struggles with the people around him to carry out his dream. Since the
story is a teen romantic comedy with some SI/FI fantasy you will not
find much
practical computer science but rather a spirit of youthful energy and
lot of
cute young women.
His life changes when the cyber-doll May , a 1/6 scale house maid
that was sent to him mistake do to a computer error from
a mysterious company. The people in story grow when get the chance to
carry out their dreams what ever they be.
