The good: they took the most boring and confusing arc of the manga and turned it into something actually fun to watch.
The bad: ain't no fucking way thats the end of the story. Not even a HINT of what's ahead? daaaamn

My 9th Summer 2025 anime finished! This was yet another great season! πŸ™ŒπŸ» This Summer 2025 season really did not disappoint with sequels. Got to see a lot more Gojo x Marin moments. I hope to see that season 3 announcement soon because the latest chapters have been looking πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ₯΅ I loved the Rei-sama skit for that school contest, Gojo taking care of sick Marin, and we got to see everyone else again! πŸ™ŒπŸ»

Oh well, time to buy another Marin PVC figure to help me cope.

Well, better than I expected but I still like Season 1 better. This Season just brought TOO many people into the mix, that our main couple got overshadowed many times. Still, a fun ride. I hope for a Season 3 or a Movie, now.

sigh! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


Im gonna miss this show man!

yeah, this has to be the cutest epsode by far. The photo shot scene highlighted a lot of things I pointed out, but more was said like how much of a FAN Akria is and how much Sajuna loves her sister. It sort of brings tears to my eyes seeing them actaully in that state and DEAR GOD I have never seen such gusto from Akria like that, it ended up sort of making her look a lot like Kitagawa. And in retrospect you can kinda see the similarities, but unlike Akria, Kitagawa actually went full weeb/Otaku and it made her SHINE? in Akira's perspective as a result. I love THAT.


Confession, when Akira was found out that she was a fan, Kitagawa came to the relizaion that "hey, whats the point in hiding your emotions? its just create discourse" she didnt think that last part, but I think this highlights that her emotions don't need to be hidden for the thing she loves so much. A bit of a foreshadowing for upcoming season? I hope so I hope so.

For Sajuna-chan, being an older sister and all, highlights her care for others. Even when she was pushing herself, she was actually having a lot of fun. She confesses that this is not something she wants to even do, but the people around her are making this more fun that it needs to be. God I love Tsunderes


This is the second show this season that did not get a follow up announcement after the show ended that I am aware of. The other one being call of the night. Every other show has gotten an announcement (namely, dandadan n Clevatass) BUT pray that this show comes out the other if it comes out at all.


Hope to see more connection other than surface level character relation and dynamic upon rewatch.

I haven't read the manga yet so I have no idea where a next season might go but in general I liked how this episode had a great shooting, a wrap up of misunderstandings and insight into Marin's emotions. No rush, everyone's still young ;)

In my opinion, the 1st season has a bit more romance based storytelling and i like it more. This season was good but i was waiting a bit more progression on the mcs relationship, it felt like its just a comedy anime more than romance. Im not complaining tho, because its still good, just not what i was expecting. And the drawings were better this season, and i liked how they changed the art style for small parts.
Overall, good sides balanced the sides i dont like about the 2nd season so i still enjoyed it. I will recommend watching it if you love romcoms.

As everybody expected Akira was just an extremely deranged fan girl of Marin lol

I really thought that it would be something more serious.

Sajuna did her best to get through that horror cosplay just for the sake of her sister's happiness πŸ˜„β€οΈβ€οΈ

Shinju is really sick in the mind for enjoying that gruesome horror game 😭😭

Really expected something more from Marin instead of just asking for a selfie with Gojo πŸ˜“πŸ’”πŸ’”

I really loved this season so much just like season 1.The op, ed ,the animation everything were so perfect. Hats off to Cloverworks for giving us all the best anime this season.

Can't Wait for the announcement of season 3.

Seeing Akira's scene voiced compared to its manga counterpart was hilarious.

Liked the reveal of the school cosplay a bit more but this one had more characters engaging it which is really nice too but the arc felt a bit longer than it needed to be. At least there was some addition cosplaying with Juju before the finale to add a bit more variety.

Overall very fun season and visuals+animation were on a whole nother level when it comes to the genre.

Wow, a lot of extras/anime only scenes in the last episode!

Probably for time reasons they changed this part, still a great ending to another great season!

Akira's VA absolutely crushed it this episode. She's way more talented than I expected.

Pretty sweet finale, even though they copped out of a confession. And not even a confirmation of a new sequel project? I hope they're not planning on stopping here...

yeah from the start ain't no way we are gonna see her confessing her emotions to Gojo fs

I gotta say the truth akira's playing with us js to the reason being that she loves her is a ragebait and I hate it fs 0 / 10 for the reason and why would anyone see the one he likes and start act like this ? I thought she has a good reason and I really liked the character and I found her good but this js gonna be it 0 / 10

and with that this season end, tbh I really didn't love or hate this season but it focused on cosplaying more than romance and that's the thing that i didn't enjoy a lot tbh and that's my opinion, I enjoyed this but I really got bored a lot of times but did I hate it ? I can't, I really love the characters ( not all of them ) and the drawings and animation cloverworks really did a great job with all of the 3 animes that has been going ( the flowers blooms with dignity & bunny girl senpai )

this cosplay was funny and so good and this ep too but feels like they wanted to end the ep so fast, and I really thought would do it but she js wanted a pic

4 / 5 and for me I really liked the 1st season but this was definitely better in a lot of things but idk should I give it an 7 or 8 ?

The other characters looking at the screen and saying goodbye to the audience was a nice touch. However, the pulling out of the confession really was a killjoy and completely knocked the wind out of the ending.

So yeah, it turns out Akira just had weird gachikoi tendencies towards Marine, so everything is cool there. Hopefully if we get a third season and Juju is in it we get to see her grow-out of her belligerent tsundere/self-loathing.

Overall, this was one of the most ambitious 12-episode Ani e productions I have ever watched and it aired in the same season of an anime production that may somehow be even better! But CloverWorks really threw everything at this budget. Hopefully next season we get a more confident, less dense/prudish Gojo that doesn’t stick-out from the rest of the cast like a sore thumb. But overall, this was a top quality anime.

Very disappointing. Massive downgrade from S1. I expected to at least end with some kind of confession and they end it with a friggin selfie. Are you kidding me? And the whole Akira thing which promised to be an interesting serious spice to the series ended with an incredibly underwhelming resolution.

They could've had her confess, him not know what to do or how to answer then set up a third season of him trying to tell her how he feels and work around that instead of the absolute tame ending they went with.

I enjoyed this season but not as much as season 1. Season 1 was much more Gojo and Marin focused and this season it gave more screen time to other characters that they meet and group cosplays, and tbh the cosplaying in season 1 was much more interesting. Fan service was also downgraded from season 1 which I'm in the opinion isn't always needed but for me it helped season 1 have much more charm and be more remembered, you could definitely feel like something was lacking this season. I would love for it to have a season 3 but I hope it goes in the same direction and gives the same vibes as season 1 gave to me.

Visuals were the best of the season but the plot was incredibly lacking very obvious this is just a bridge to the final arc.

Imao the biggest pit fall with monthly mangas is forgettable side characters and that is very true with “My Dress Up Darling”. The main couple has always been the highlight of this series and the lack of progression with them holds this season back from being anything more than average.

"Hime" huh? LOL
I really didn't expect that twist, so Akira loved Marin so much that she can't act properly near her LOL, I was really surprised and expected something like she met her in the past and Marin did something bad to her without knowing.

Other than that it was a good episode, but I'm kinda disappointed that Marin didn't make her move, but maybe in S3?
Or should I read the manga instead? πŸ€”

Oh look, someone needs a cosplay stitched, and guess who came back from the dead to do it... our good old simpleton drone, Gojou. And ofc the crossdressing weirdo is back too... like anyone actually cares. At this point, I feel like we’ve been doing nothing but a photoshoot for the last 3–4 episodes, or maybe my memory’s broken, because I can’t recall anything else. One thing I do remember: we were supposed to have a confession... wait, where is it? Oh right, this show doesn’t actually do romance. Almost as forgettable as the whole season, but hey, we move on.

Speaking of forgettable, who even are half these characters? Even outside of cosplay, the group dynamics are weak, not helped by the mediocre, boring supporting cast. It’s honestly baffling how, after all this, I still can’t tell who’s who... oh wait, that’s not my fault. And did I mention again that literally nothing happened? Oh, and miss crossdressing lady or whatever her name is, look at her, a hardcore, like really hardcore simp. So that makes her soooo cute, right? RIGHT???? Makes me wonder what was even the point of this character besides just adding another face to Marin’s endless queue of fangirls?

This season is actually horrendous and a baffling attempt at turning into a SOL. Newsflash show: to make a good SOL, you need good characters. I can’t even name one here, but hey, keep trying, because it’s clear you’re not putting any effort into the romance side. This and Takopii have really shown me how much people can be blinded by sakuga and flashy direction into thinking nothing-burger shows like these are good. Literally the definition of “carried by animation,” and I hate to even use that term.

This whole scene was absolutely pathetic lol. What a terrible way to end a season. They didn’t even tease a certain character at the end, so fingers crossed that means season three isn’t happening.
@IzanaSolos I'm so happy for you that your misery is finally over.
I hope that someday you are allowed to watch things that you like, because it seems like you are being forced to endure shows you hate, and even worse- forced to share your hatred of them with people who enjoy them.

@ss4chris Yes, original ending they cut chapter 86 in half because the end of this chapter reveal the final cosplay and instead they did an anime original scene out of nowhere lmao (the original scene starts in the train 'till the end) so weird especially since they put the final cosplay in the ED too...

I guess the curse of romcoms getting an anime only scene as an ending and no season 3 sequel continues after Nagatoro ... Damn it Aniplex, I know MDUD is no Demon Slayer but you could've at least greenlighted a season 3, there's 30 chapters left to adapt it's not a big deal...

Kudos to Cloverworks for making it look good as it did, the Coffin arc was way too long and full of unnecessary drama. I thought for a moment that they would go full anime original ending and have her confess, but nope.

I think the rest of it will be made into a movie. Unless Cloverworks adds a LOT of filler(moreso than what they did even this season), there's not enough material.

The mixed response for this season is interesting to see. I thought this season started off strong but kinda meandered towards the end with a few too many characters to follow. Also surprised so many people were okay with Akira's reveal in this episode. I thought it genuinely sucked and could see it coming from a mile away. Could've done so much with it but making Akira a fangirl felt like a massive cop out, the show could've used just a little more drama to spice things up.

There was less fanservice this season, major degenerate here, although I don't think My Dress Up Darling is a show that needs a ton of it anyway. What we did get this season was still pretty good. Marin's and Gojo's cute friendship/relationship is why I tune in, and that was still pretty god this season. Even with Aniplex's rep, I can see a continuation happening. I could see them trying to fit the rest of the manga chapters into a movie, but I think we'll be waiting a while. Either way, season 2 was still pretty dang good, probably on par with season 1.
