DearS (Anime) add (All reviews)
Jun 18, 2016
It's a typical harem show, guy takes naked alien girl home and hides her from his childhood friend, who secretly has a crush on him. Add in one loli cat girl, one annoying sister with brother complex, a teacher more perverted than I and another DearS to play the role of miss prim and proper. What didn't work here Takaya never exploits the master/slave relationship here. I Don't mean in a Bill Cosby kind of way i mean when it work to his advantage to do so. for example when Ren follows him into the toilet. He could order her to never do that. That could have been played for laughs either way. In fact, nothing really happens in this series.Just the characters and their antics. There's no depth or substance here. The art seems dated even for a series 12 years older than this review. Easily surpassed by any other anime. I also felt Takaya needed a better motivation to dislike DearS. Having said all that, I really liked this series because the lack of sunbeams and steam. It shows that you can make a perverted & raunchy series without needing to tone it down for TV. Also the fact that it didn't try to be anything greater than the sum of it's parts. Not once are we force fed some morality tale about the DearS or even Ren herself.
