Welcome to another generic review, made by another random anime lover!
Please keep in mind that reviews are merely based off of the viewers opinion. Do not take a review seriously. Anime watching is a unique experience for everyone and tastes take time to develop.
Since Absolute Duo is a fairly new anime, reviews that have been made are generally aimed at the episodes that were released at the time. So readers beware! Likewise, newer reviews are now based off the anime as a whole so keep an eye on that date!
At first glance, Absolute Duo seems too easy to clump with the basic and cliched harem
...
animes. While it does have a ton of harem elements, it doesn't really get to the point where it can be officially defined as a "Harem". As a result, many people see the genre "Harem" and feel as though diving into it would be a big mistake. Well, it's not. The characters never develop an actual lovey-dovey relationship with the MC, and the season is mainly focused on the back story of each character as an individual.
While many points in each episode may make a large group of people cringe, the actual story line and development of the characters is enjoyable. Like I said before, the anime focuses mainly on the back story and development of each character's problems and solutions. This perhaps is what makes Absolute Duo stand out among random "Harem" shows.
The story line makes your heart race, the characters make you smile or cringe, and the jokes are either so cliched its hilarious or so funny you can't help but crack a smile. (This is all in my own opinion). Along with the fact that it is only 12 episodes. So if you have the time to go on AnimeList and find an anime, you could probably down these episodes in one sitting (I know I can).
All the same, I recommend watching at least the first 5 episodes (That was the point I got hooked). If you don't like it, move on. If you do, congratulations! Just realize that you don't really have anything to lose but a chance to watch a good anime.
Don't judge an anime by it's review. It's your own experience.
