DearS

It's a cute little short series animé, similar to Chobits from what I've seen of Chobits, but hey, if you like that sort of thing, DearS does it pretty well. Some of the fanservicey stuff in this is SO over-the-top it's past the point of annoying and more towards the point of amusing, because I don't think they took themselves completely seriously.

So, who should watch this? If you want a relatively light-hearted plot with some situational comedy, sort of your typical high school thing and a fair bit of cuteness and a mild bit of seriousness, this isn't a bad choice. If you're up for something with lots of depth, void of the typical animé tropes, you probably won't like it.

The one thing that irritated me a little is that it ended a little abruptly. Something a lot of animé tends to do, though.

Overall, it's worth trying if you're looking for something light and don't have a lot of time to invest, since it's a relatively short series at only 12 episodes. I find it's good to watch something silly and cute like this especially if you're watching some other heavier stuff. (Aristotle says: "Balance is good!") read more

DearS is a comedy, ecchi, harem romance set in the present day. The protagonist, Ikuhara, finds an alien whom he names Ren. Each episode shows the trials and adventures Ikuhara and Ren find themselves in since they've met: The importance of wearing clothes in public to the understanding of what love is.

DearS is an OK anime. When I say an "OK anime", I mean average--maybe just below average. If you're looking to pass time (As I did) then its possible for you to watch it. But don't expect some amazing storyline or original plot.The plot tends to stay the same throughout the anime, with the focus on Ikuhara and the alien girl named Ren. Little progression is made between the two until the end--but even then you're still left with "What?"

The story seemed as though it may have had potential, but that gets thrown out the window when the series ends abruptly and nothing is really accomplished between the characters themselves; though it leaves a taste for a second season. But you're still left with questions. And as in common romance series, you find yourself saying: "Just tell her you love her, dang it!" But this time the protagonist actually has a reason why he doesn't.

If you're looking for something to get a quick laugh or romance, this series will do it though. As Ikuhara finds himself in either embarrassing situations or discovers the feelings of the people around him (Actually he still remains oblivious, just not as much), you're left with a light-hearted series that does not take itself seriously. If anything, it might be making fun of itself. read more

Review is for me not you. Theres other reviews u can read with more details. Reviews are opinions not recapping the synopsis. i like to keep mine short.

Well after reading the reviews and synopsis, i had to check this out (i needed a change anywayz). So pretty much just like the other reviews, its very similar to Chobits except the animation was slightly better, its more ecchi which can be good or bad depending on your tastes, and its more humorous along with humor animation that adds the effect.

The only thing that annoyed me was the teacher going overboard on her orgasms and the ending that just left you with "blah, now ponder about it forever..."

Overall i liked it, especially how it involves aliens that are hot. I needed a change anywayz. So if u like Chobits or romantic comedy with sci-fi or just want a short change then check out Dears. read more

So first this anime isn't anything new and unique,all seen.It also resembles Chobits.They're storyline is really similar.But if you're looking for some lite-hearted romance including some ecchi scenes that this just the right anime.Don't expect too much.


Story
It's centered around high school boy living alone.One day he picks up a beautiful alien girl at first he doesn't seem to care about her too much but then late in the series there show up evil people who are trying find her *and take her away* than he sees his true feelings for her and tries to protect her by all means. So it's a story of them living together,going to school teaching her normal things like cooking,reading,speaking.And she is some kind of slave.All the aliens in the anime are slaves.So she threats the main characters like her master.That's a bit freaky for me T_T.The plot doesn't really changes it always staying the same.And it has a normal nice ending.6/10

Animation
Decent.The characters are bit funny looking but all in all good for this kind of anime.7/10

Sound
Some good opening and ending songs but I didn't really heard any other good music despite that.6/10

Characters
Nice main female character despite that she is an alien.Main male character a funny ,cool guy who on the first sight doesn't believe in aliens but later on he develops a romantic relationship with the alien.So this two are really good but it lacks good support characters beside those two I didn't liked anyone else.And it also lacks character developments.6/10

Enjoyment
So in the end I liked this anime so-so it had some ups and downs.Some episodes where good but some where poor.There were some really funny moments but that's all that it had.And yeah some minor ecchi scenes but they were poorly done.6/10

DearS - 5/10

DearS is a combination of a failed Chobits clone (lacking any of the warmth that made that series so endearing) and, depending on your gender, offensive pro-slave rubbish. It's also uneventful, lacking a story and instead containing the same perverted nonsense you've seen before already until the episode count reaches 12-13.

To start with, the premise is beyond dumb. A UFO crashes into Japan, 150 aliens - who happen to be submissive hotties - emerge, and they're welcomed by the world. Because humans are, as we all know, kind and understanding creatures by nature, no attempts were made to capture and experiment on the aliens. It's the sort of plot element that would only work in a hentai. Or Melody of Oblivion.

...oh yes, hentai material. Have I covered the part where DearS all wear dog collars and are happy to be slaves, doing whatever their master wants, including sex? It's like sitting through the wet dream of a pre-pubescent retard. I'm sure most female viewers would find it slightly offensive to see females wearing dog collars and being happy to get in the kitchen when told - a great fan pleasing idea.

As for the characters, Ren (the Chi of DearS) is blank, having zero personality. She also looks bad because of the crappy art - not at all fap worthy. And Takeya, the lucky lead, is a complete arsehole, never being a man and always being a complete **** to Ren. He even tells her to go home and cook his food, also ordering her to clean his room. He lacks any likeability. The only character with any depth whatsoever in this mess is the pink-haired DearS, whose name I've already forgot.

On the plus side, DearS is easy to watch. It's so simple and stupid that it's possible to watch it for four hours, miss lines of dialogue and still understand what's going on. If you happen to be braindead or looking for something that's easy to watch, despite being dull, DearS is for you. I only managed to sit through it all because I wasn't required to use my brain and could just chill.

Alongside Melody of Oblivion, DearS has made for a great start to going through my DVD backlog. I can't wait to have a look at Petite Princess Yucie and A Little Snow Fairy Sugar. By the end of watching all the wonderful series I've collected on DVD, my mental state might reach the stage where life will seem too painful.

Overall, I suggest avoiding DearS unless A) your dream woman wears a dog collar and stays in the kitchen or B) you're an idiot who paid money for the series because it's an OOP Geneon title. Stick to Chobits and avoid this poor attempt at copying it. read more

This was a decent series, it's much like Chobits (if you've seen it) so if you enjoyed Chobits then I would recommend this series if have a few hours to kill.

It's not as intense and serious as Chobits was but it will keep you entertained. The characters are lovable non the less. The character relationship between male and female protagonist really keeps the series alive, but due to a rush story line it really kills much potential for a really great drama that it could of been.

If your looking for some ecchi, hilarious situations between guys and girls and a good slice of life adaptation then this series is worth a few hours of your life. read more

There's not a whole lot I can say about DearS except "Stay Away!" It has been viewed by many as a Chobits rip off. While Chobits had some areas that saved it from the trash bin, this title has none. From the very opening animation which features two of the main female characters embracing unclothed to the unresolved end, DearS screams it's inappropriate nature. I view a number of these titles to be able to relate just how inappropriate they truly are. Pleased be warned that while the character designs and story overview look really good and may draw one to a purchase, this title is really bad. read more

This show is a bit out there. It is wacky and fun, and just sucks you in. Some of the story development could have been better, but overall it keeps you waiting for more.

One downfall to this show is that it seems like they are avoiding the main back story too much, and leaves you wondering what else there is.

All in all it is a great show, and its too bad that it ended.

What my Review about this anime is the??
Well For me i think the anime was oh ok funny but what i didn't like was the end ,The end was like whatever you don't even now what happen to the DearS but
The story I give a 8
The Art a 10 i love how they did it
sound really hot 10
character wow yes man hot hot 10
Enjoyment 9
And i give the anime a 9

I yes wish the anime didn't end like the but it was a great anime if your into Ecchi you will love it

This anime must be one of the most disappointing stories in all that I have ever heard, read, watched, etc. The potential this anime had to become an absolute masterpiece, a testomony to the craft which comes from this kind of art was unmatchable. But....

it failed. Everything from episode 1-11 was all a build up for the worst ending I have ever seen. The manga is no excuse either. So excluding the ending this series served the great purpose of a light-hearted anime with roots.
