Dramatical murder, is a visual novel that contains a lot of yaoi and explicit scenes.
I played all the visual novel, with all the routes and bad and good endings and i simply love it. I am one of the fandom of Dmmd and when i saw the announcement of the anime i was happy and also scared. Why? Because i have seen what they did to Togainu no chi. But i was expecting that nitro+chiral realized about the quality of their last anime and they would fixed it, i was wrong... VERY WRONG.
Story: (3)
I have one question, if you had a visual novel that is a hentai, and it's very famous because of his scenes +18, would you remove all the hentai to make a simply anime of romance? I would not. Dramatical murder is a HARD YAOI, you can't remove all the yaoi stuff and make it an only shonen ai anime...
I know that the history in the visual novel is good and very entertaining, but in the anime they destroy the story mixing all the routes, it seems like Aoba is a slut who have five hot boys at home in love with him and they don't even realize that the others are also in love with Aoba.
Art: (2)
Why? Why dmmd that is characterized by having one of the most beautiful art in the yaoi visual novels had to finish like this?
Poor animation, with a horrible attempt to reach the art of the visual novel. Also, it contains errors that makes you want to facepalm, like the young Aoba with brown hair. Really, was that necessary?
Sound: (4)
I didn't really care about the sound, but it was decent.
Characters: (5)
The characters were mediocre because we can't see a lot of them in the anime, but their stories are very sad, beautiful and they are totally worth it to read in the visual novel. But in the anime, the stories of every character are showed in a very short time and i didn't enjoyed it like in the novel.
Enjoyment: (2)
I almost dropped the anime at the episode 3, but i continued it because i wanted to see what they were doing with one of my favorites visual novel. I watched all the anime bored and in the same time very angry.
Overall: (3)
Don't misunderstand me, i really love dramatical murder, i am one his enormous fandom, but, that's why i am so severe with the anime. I was expecting something that i could remember for years and i would like to re watch and re watch again like the novel, but it totally disappointed me.
Thanks for reading this review.
