High schooler Wakana Gojou cares about one thing: making Hina dolls. With nobody to share his obsession, he has trouble finding friends—or even holding conversation.

Horny, Hollow, Hypocritical

Spoilers ahead. I began reading the Bisque Doll manga before I even knew there was going to be an anime, and believe me when I say that I was thoroughly enjoying this story in the manga. I was interested in seeing the adaptation so I started watching week to week with the best intentions in mind. H…

(Note: Most non-criticism on this show in the review is a joke— explicitly stated for the mods. Also, this is a bit less comprehensive than my usual reviews, and way different in tone.

One of the most heartening outlooks on life and cosplay as a whole.

Adaptations that not only enhanced the source material but gave it a breath of life, with great attention to detail over its subject matter, cosplay, as well as treating the characters like real people, a relationship built on trust and friendship, culminating in a mutually beneficial connection, to…

No. Misaki is not coming, and neither is Kitagawa. Hollowly carried to glory mostly by fan service.

My Dress Up Darling kept reminding me of Welcome To The N.H.K., and no, Misaki is not coming, and neither is Kitagawa. Cloverworks has really opened up my eyes to how much of a shameless studio it can be. The viewers can't pretend that this studio does not know what it is doing with it's foot obsess…

2022’s premier romantic comedy; a cultured (ecchi) work of art

The first week into this new year, there was this anime garnering a noticable amount of attention. I myself am not too seasoned with rom-coms, but i thought i'd check it out just to see what the noise is about. Little did i know, i'd be stepping into an anime which would captivate me from the openin…

My Dress Up Darling is fun and all but sadly nothing but good waifu bait.

The story is set up in the way all romcoms are, its the that same formula used here. Its about cosplaying which is unique enough to the whole anime romance genre, but the thing is everything else in MDD is seen somewhere else. Girl and Boy accidentally meet Girl and boy get together every time in s…

Okay… I’m probably going to get some flak from all of the people who were in love with this show but… I actually disliked My Dress-Up Darling. Yep. I said it. The first four episodes were FANTASTIC. They set the stage, made me get invested in the characters, and set up an incredible love story as a…

Great Show, Even Better Message - Share Your Passions

One of the most enjoyable parts of cinema that has always fascinated me is how easily the writers, directors, animators, etc. __can convey a message, belief, or story in a manner that books or word-of-mouth tales simply cannot.__ It's a very easy way to __bring attention to issues__ that, in the min…

My Dress Up Darling is the best you'll find in a fantasy indulging romance anime

__Plot/Story 6/10 The plot is just as the anime describes: it is a slice of life where not much happens (for the most part). This makes for a fine plot, nothing too special. It is primarily indulgent, wish fulfillment content without much realism or drama. The plot is very comfy, but nothing specia…

The epic battle between wholesome and ecchi continues.

It is a fact that I really loved this anime. It is also a fact that I thought about not finishing it multiple times. The fact remains that My Dress-Up Darling lives in a weird dichotomy in which it is both heartwarming wholesome and egregiously lewd. The Wholesome part starts with great characte…

Our Darling of the Year

Marin being cute and helping others find themselves in the limitless possibilities of youth

This was a great show for me because of the carefree way in which it explored the possibility of youth. We have Gojo, the stereotypical shut-in who doubts his every move due to his insecurities and feeling the world is a vertical relationship where others have more importance than him. In some way…

A typical, run-of-the-mill romance that's actually enjoyable.

I like cosplaying (as in, looking at cosplayers online), so when I saw an entire anime based on it, I was sort of skeptical, nevertheless, it's actually quite fun. For the animation: img20(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/590864642000027666/1088066555260182558/image.png)+. Cloverworks have…

Ignore the teen angst, and you have a profound young love story.

Forgive the conveniently (but ever so obviously) woven ecchi, and this is a heartwarming story about people sharing cosplay together, and its ever so beautiful. At the very forefront, we see two young people who struggle with different things come together in a poignant blend of their two passions…
