I disagree, besides some rare offensive bullying from the cameramen, the documentary is respectful and tries to get to the core of the motivations of the people in the subculture, not shallow at all. The interviewers ask how these people's childhoods were like, what drove them to be where they are.
We get to see both the angle of horny clients in a maidcafe, who just want to see cute girls treating them like a girlfriend, as the client and his friends put it, while we also get to see the maid's angle, one studying in a university yet plans to work there forever, as she was never able to bond outside of it in her life, shy and awkward as she is.
She describes how the whole atmosphere is different from normal, how everyone is just trying to have a good time, unlike other restaurants where people complain about food and there is no intention of creating an atmosphere or bond.
Sure, they could have asked more questions in many parts, but saying this was superficial is untrue. They even create a narrative by connecting all these people and showing how they all found something special and worth living for in this electric town. Kids learning about computers and shopkeepers eager to spread knowledge to them.
Or am I missing something and it was subtly disrespectful besides the jabs from the cameramen?
