D4DJ: First Mix proves that you don't need to save your school or become top idols to be a intriguing and interesting story. All you need is a couple of genuine characters with some original ideas backing up with great music.

In a world where remixes rule the music industry, DJ and music producers are put in very high regard. In a DJ-specific high-school, our lovely and energetic Aimoto Rinku just tranfered in after spending many years in Africa. Immediately falling in love with a remix during lunch break, she rushes to the sound room and meets a young DJ followed by the name Maho. There their journey into the exciting world of modern music begins.

I don't like CGI in anime and not really fond of remixes. But surprisingly, I absolutely love D4DJ. Their music presents many different tones and all pleasant to hear. The CGI is twice the quality Netflix is putting out constantly. They feel natural and the movement is very fluid. The design is a bit rip-off (You can see straight Nico-nico nii) but overall they did a great job.

The most important thing is they focus the show to be the most entertaining experience as possible. No unnecessary drama to deepen the mood, not focusing too much on competition, just having fun day after days. And yes, they do have some dramas but that's everyday life quarrels that bring out characters developments and help the viewers to relate to them more. In the end, they became genuine characters.

Overall, 9/10 very solid show. Wish they do another season for D4DJ, I want to see them more. Hearing them singing purifies my soul.
