Name: ServantxService
Release Date: July 4, 2013
Studio: A-1 Pictures
Genre: Comedy, Slice of Life
Premise: Based on a popular manga, this workplace comedy focuses on the everyday lives of civil servants Yamagami (pictured), Yutaka Hasebe and Saya Miyoshi - the three newest editions to the Welfare Department in a city government building.
Verdict: This series is worth its salt as far as office satires go. The main characters' personalities make for some lively interactions, such as Yamagami's straitlaced sensibilities clashing with Hasebe's slacker attitude, Miyoshi's submissiveness, or their supervisor's complete ineptitude. There is also a healthy amount of humor provided by the main cast and a revolving door of colorful customers.
I've been to the DMV one too many times to fall completely head-over-heels for an anime about the lives of civil workers, but the show does a good job of humanizing the people behind the paperwork and stamps. Due to the straightforward nature of the story, I highly doubt there'll be any earth-shattering revelations in the works here, but it should be an entertaining weekly watch.
