Was it for the story and characters or purely for the fanservice because Marin is hot? Or both?

it sounded like a cute romcom and it was. like yeah there was a lot of fanservice but this was one of the very few series where the fanservice made sense in context.

The latter definitely. Also the reason why I wouldn't watch it for some time since that's a shallow reason for me to be convinced to watch it.

The visuals of the show drew my attention. There was also buzz surrounding the show, with people saying it is a must-see. I also enjoy watching Slice of Life shows, so I jumped in and gave it a shot. Marin isn't really my type, but she does have a nice figure, so she gets points for that.

I checked out three episodes a while back. ( I keep forgetting to add it to my list) but one good thing I took away from it is the theme of being yourself and liking what you like.i dropped it because I didn't find the MC interesting.and not much happened in the first three episodes.
Oh my bad it was on my list and i only watched two episodes. regardless it was just okay so im not going back to it.

There was a lot of hype around while it was airing. Especially among people who were complaining about the fanservice in discussion threads. But having watched 5 episodes so far, I don't see what all the commotion was about the fanservice. It's pretty tame in my opinion. So, it was probably just the typical prude behavior. But as far as my feelings towards the show, it's kind of average for me. Nothing really that great about the relationship other than the guy making outfits for the girl and going to places with her.

Because I follow the manga and genuinely think is a good romance series (Which it is) and probably for the both reasons stated above.

My Dress-Up Darling is the cringest name that I have seen in my life and obviously everybody watched it because Marin is hot
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

I watched it because I've seen the title often on a manga site so I was thinking it was worth a try, not to mention it was already popular to begin with just like Chainsaw man.

I watched it because the trailer appeared to me randomly and I thought Marin looked good. And I think that's the reason most watched it, Marin's bouncy tits and """realistic""" personality

I ended up not liking Marin too much, but Sajuna is really good in my eyes.

the premise didnt sound that badly, and it was adapted by cloverworks, so mostly because of being backed by people that are capable of creating decent anime. Sadly the story is just weaponized wish-fulfillment

Because its a wish-fulfilling fantasy for men. Specially otakus. There I said it. I´m not gonna be pretentious about the main reasons why I decided to watched it. And I finished 1st season because it was pretty decent at it.

I was told it was a very wholesome rom-com with just a bit of fanservice here and there...

Yeeaaaah right. It was pretty average, honestly. I ended up enjoying CloverWorks's other project (Akebi-chan no Sailor-fuku) way more.

I had seen it being posted somewhere and it got my attention because of the fact it got adapted from square enix's monthly, after reading the synopsis I just felt it wasn't gonna be my type, I have never been a fan of this combination of gyaru/outgoing plus nerdy boy/introvert pairings, it keeps reinforcing the inkya otaku stereotype, Tomozaki-kun came to mind, but then I read the guy was actually a doll maker? so I went huh? ok thats different.

The more I read about it the weirder it got, so this is a gyaru that actually likes cosplay? .. ok, I mean that's still within the realm of possibility, I guess the fact they actually steered away from the typical otaku = wimp trope, and actually somehow gave the girl the otaku label and somehow made it into something that is not cringeworthy is already kinda refreshing.

So I just said ok, lets give this thing a chance.

100% worth it. No regrets whatsoever. Fairly gender neutral, any person otaku or not can actually enjoy it if they appreciate romantic comedies, it is indeed, kinda quirky, and I guess it wouldn't have worked 10 years ago but it does now.

I have three reasons to watch any anime:

It's cover-art looks appealing.
It's a sequel/prequel to an anime I've watched.
I've read the manga

My Dress Up Darling - I had read a little of the manga. Also it's cover-art does look appealing.

I'd be lying if I say it wasn't Marin's bomboms that got me watching in the first place xD
But at the same time, I did kept watching it becuase, at first, they seemed to be focusing on the male MC, i.e. his childhood trauma regarding his love of dolls, his passion in making those, and also the part where he had to juggle studying and dress making.
But that was a non-factor later on, as the waifus showed up xD

To be fair though, Marin's personality was quite different and interesting to watch compared to the usual female MCs of this genre (i.e. Desumi from "Love after World Domination", Komi from "Komi can't communiacate", etc.) But regardless, it ended up still being, simply, a waifu Anime with a POV male protag.
I liked it though ^_^

This is a show that is obviously built around one central character, but I don't see anything wrong with that. I also like how detailed it is on a subject I'm not familiar with.

I love all the people saying, "didn't watch it because it's overrated/trash/etc.," because yes, you can TOTALLY know the quality of something you've never watched....

Personally, I haven't watched it, but for a genuine reason--my sister told me about the premise, and it didn't interest me, simple as that. Might watch one day, but it's not even on my PTW and I have nearly 200 entries on that, so...
Poyo.

I suffered through it to see if they would do cosplay accurately. The short answer is "eh, mostly, but only for about 2% of the whole show." The rest was just drivel.
Well I for one already loved Lain.

I added it to my ptw with the intention of; cause I was going through my make fun of cloverworks in a loving way phase and made it my mission to watch all their stuff from this year (obvi didn't happen cause I could care less abt them at this point) but the visuals and and synopsis intrigued me and I ended up really looking forward to it, the first ep caught me and the second ep sold me. literally would not shut up about it every week lmao. love Marin <3 ep 11 was peak.

watch it because episode 1 is amazing. the rest is really bad.

i think even isekai is more enjoyable and realistic than dress up darling.

also i don't really like the way marin or gyaru talk in general
