Ranked #4416

Mitsu x Mitsu Drops

I somehow managed to stumble upon this anime while wandering MAL. I haven't seen much common, cute, lovey-dovey romance in a while, so I was like 'heck, one hour of sweet romance would be enough for now'. Now I say, I should've used my precious time for something that actually has a point. This anime... is disappointing to core.

~Story~ (1)
Considering there actually IS a plot, you may say the rating shoud've been larger. But it isn't. Why? Because this plot you read in the description of the anime, is nothing more, but something being made so there could be some sexual harassment in the anime, WHICH by the way, I didn't approve at all. That isn't bloody romance. And who the hell put 'romance' tag on this thing? The only time I've seen romance was the last 5 seconds, yet I haven't seen anything that actually supported their so-called love. So this is kind of 'master-servant' relationship between students - what school in the world is giving away students to be sexually harassed? AND FOR MONEY?! Seriously, Minami-san, get some logic would you?

~Art~ (6)
Like any other 2 episode OVA, this art was actually rather good. It was pretty much typical bishoujo and bishounen drawn, since all of the characters are rather cute/hot/something else, but nothing special, or original. They used the blasted slow-motion so many times, the whole anime should've lasted 20 minutes, not one hour.

~Sound~ (4)
Pfft. Oh well, the opening wasn't that bad, something that pretty much resembles any other romantic anime opening, but gee, the background music was terrible! It was almost as if the anime was dealing with the matter life and death, but sadly enough, it didn't. No~ we listened over-dramatic music back then when he told her she was doing it wrong, like, God forbid you drop the ball. The voice actors are annoying, and WAY~ too cliche. I was surprised when I noticed Misato voicing Yin from Darker than Black actually appeared here. What a loss of time for her. Yin rules.


~Character~ (3)
God, if I got a coin for every second of main male character saying words 'idiot' and 'honey' I would be surrounded by Japanese waiters, cosplaying and yelling 'irashaimasen' by now. Their personalities are all so goddamn blunt, so undeveloped, and just illogical! The girl almost willingly let the guy touch her anywhere he wants, and in front of people. And not just her, he! HE! Who in the world harasses a girl in front of other people?!
The other characters seem to enjoy the show any time that happens. And in the end, it's actually hinted the guy loves the girl. Aww, well, shoving your hand down her panties is not really making a point, I believe.

~Enjoyment~ (3)
Well, it wasn't as horrible as 'OMG, MY EYES' but it was very boring, very predictable, and extremely cliche. The rare moments where something romantic would happen were cute, and the beginning actually looked promising, so I gave the credits for that, although I didn't enjoy that as close as much I believed I will.

~Overall~ (4)
No, it's not decent, it's bad, I don't understand why the 'names' of the ranking are different in the review from ones in your anime list. This anime has no developed story, just the settings, and horrible ones at that, characters are total idiots, and every single scene is presented as something VERY dramatic, while it isn't at all.

This anime sucks. Point made. You don't have to take it, though. read more

This is another of those anime's that could have been half decent as a shoujo romance but never quite made it there. In Mitsu x Mitsu Drops case it didn't even come close. It had the formular right with two very cute rich bishies, an annoying but still like-able poor girl, a rich-wing of the school and a bizarre circumstance that forces her into the servitude of said rich boys. It does sound familiar doesn't it?

So where did this fail then you ask? Well, every where else to be honest. The characters were not developed at all so it was impossible to understand the motivations behind their bizarre actions, the story itself wasn't interesting at all, the background music was plain annoying. It's only redeeming feature was that the characters at least looked cute and I quite enjoyed the aspect of the main male lead who in truth was a bit of a rapist. Which is the only original part of this anime. read more
