Fast-paced and light-hearted, D-Frag! is a surprising comical piece that never failed to amuse. The main characters are lively, humorous, and full of fun retorts. Although it does not have a slice-of-life tag, it practically is one - after all, this anime follows the daily adventures of the members of the (Fake) Game Creation Club. And unlike other slice-of-life anime, most of the episodes are loosely stringed together (although I wouldn't go as far out to say that there is a coherent plotline).
However, this anime is still far from perfect. The execution is certainly not perfect - being a fast-paced anime, the viewer is constantly being thrown from scene to scene, almost in a daze. Furthermore, many of the characters' actions are overly exaggerated. Although this is clearly done for a comedic effect, these actions are constantly overused - up to the point where it's predictable and does not substantially add any meaning to the character or the plot as a whole. Finally, the characters' relationships to each other are not clearly established or ignored for the most part (minus a few exceptions).
All I can say is that if you're looking to kill time, this is the anime for you.
