D-Frag!

The Kazama Family—a gang of three wannabe delinquents and close friends, spearheaded by Kenji Kazama, is trying to make a name for themselves at Fujou Academy. On the first day of the term, the gang finds themselves putting out a fire in the Game Development Club. Instead of thanking them, the eccentric club members attack and knock out Kenji's two friends, forcing Kenji to fight for his life. Failing to escape, the gang leader is coerced into joining the Game Development Club.

As he settles in, Kenji gets to know the four girls responsible for his provisional membership—student council president and general tyrant Chitose Karasuyama, spirited tomboy Sakura Mizukami, negligent club advisor Minami Oosawa, and the school's infamous shadow leader Roka Shibasaki. Throughout the Game Development Club's constant shenanigans and his desperate attempts to leave the club, Kenji begins to realize that he may be actually enjoying himself.

Their misadventures ... and absurd shenanigans bring a unique twist to the high school comedy genre. The series brilliantly blends elements of gaming, slapstick humor, and unexpected plot twists, resulting in a genuinely hilarious and unpredictable narrative.

From witty nods to popular video games to playful jabs at anime tropes, the series consistently delivers clever and well-executed references that resonate with fans of the medium. These playful moments of self-awareness add an extra layer of enjoyment for viewers who appreciate the nuances of the otaku world.

Mixed Feelings

At the start of the series, I had thought it might be a formidable comedy anime that I could put alongside Cromartie High School, Saiki K and Konosuba as some of the best out there. Unfortunately I think there were some stumbles in this series that make it fall short of that.

It’s still quite good, but I think there was overall too large a focus on the girls in the Game Development Club and more specifically only 1-2 at a time rather than using the whole cast and their low and different personalities to craft really good jokes and short stories.

So many characters ...

spoilers:
My reviews almost never has spoilers but I always get in trouble for it. So I am just going to say what this anime feels to me, how I enjoy it, how the characters are and how it could haven been improve without spoilers Ill try not to.

This anime feels like your typical harem anime there is no tag but this is a harem. The girls fall in love with the male MC which seem to be on sight. To give credit to the anime it does say the MC is good looking(i don't know if he is ... it's a drawing), so the girls might like him for that shallow reason which makes more sense than other harem. If you seen Gamers!, Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo, Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta and Ben-To you seen this before they do nothing new they reused old jokes you heard in other anime, the same boob grab, boob joke, girl getting nose bleed over a guy in a dress it been done some have done it better.

My enjoyment of this anime was up then down. The first 1-4 episodes, felt like a tired old harem but they had new jokes made me laugh. Then they started building up the romance/harem in the latter episodes if you can tell this anime has no romance or harem tag because they can't do that right, then it turns to a lame fighting anime that is why i compare it Ben-To. So I stop enjoy it and started hating it.

The characters did not make it any better, the tired old oblivious male MC made me mad not because he is oblivious because he is the character that SHOUT OUT the peculiarity of the situation they get in. Nothing is more queer than him being oblivious to all the girls liking him and all the other guys getting punch, kick, spit on and be emasculated. He does a lot of shouting I guess the author ran out of jokes thought that would be funny, it wasn't but if he was more like Bakugou that make would him better and funnier. The girls character are generic, they like the mc, there is a short girl, tall girl, girl with big boobs and people want to grab her boobs. In the first episode he has two male delinquent friends which I wish the stay around because then it would add a new element to the story(speaking of Kono Oto Tomare! better anime the delinquent friends also join the koto club).

How could it be better in my opinion, have the other delinquents join the club too. It's rarely been done "Kono Oto Tomare!" did it and they have a higher rating, can't name another anime that did it too, people want to see something new. Have the MC not be oblivious or be like Bokugo and wants to fight everyone even the girls and girls would still like him would be alarming but funny(someone will steal my idea). Or at least have a clear direction to where you wanted to go and what this show was going to be. If it was going to be a love story be one or was it going to be a harem go full out and be one. This anime has a game and school tag but no way this is a game anime the games are in the background and they do more fist fight than play a games(reason i compare this to Ben-to), there is a school in the anime but no way it is a anime about school life. Thank you for reading it's ok if you want to leave a nasty reply in my profile if you disagree. LOL
