When I say unique, it is something special for me to watch in the anime community. That it has same type of genres but has new and propounding ideas.
And Sono Bisque is one of them.
We see in the first episode that Wakana Gojou is a loner high school student and it was because he had a painful memories of his childhood friend that got no interest of his hobby which are hina dolls and left him with a pitiful words. Since then, he never get any chance to talk to his classmates because he think that they think he's a weird person to talk to if he ever brought up his interest to others.
To morpheme the part of its synopsis, we’ve already encountered a lot of shoujo/seinen/shounen and a lot of josei’s series where it is basically has the same premises in any other anime. (boy meets girl, girl meets boy) but there are rare counts of level that are some series have deeper meanings to their emotions and interests. This happens to be one of them.
And here enters the heroin of the show, Marin Kitagawa. Marin is a unique character to me,(AND NO... Im not a fan of Ecchi) to set aside the Fan Service. Marin is a beautiful character that has boldness and honesty to Gojou both admires and envies him. Instantly, she shares with Gojou her own hobby that loves playing erotic video game and even tries to cosplay the character in the game that she enjoys. And top of that Marin is actually a "Gyaru". Which is a slang for Japanese fashion subculture, where she talk like a modernized teenager in Japan. (this is true btw)
By just knowing some facts about Marin Kitagawa, have you ever heard of cosplay in any other anime genres? No?! D*mn right it's not. That is also one of the reason why Dress-up Darling is such a unique series to me. Sure, story is really good. Art is superb. Sound or OST has the perfect fit for this series. Characters are well liked. And at the same time, fan service had done it again. Which it ticks me a lot of time watching the show. To set the Fan Service aside, Dress-Up Darling is uniquely darn Good series. I can hate some of it, but at the same time, I really can’t hate it at all.
Been reading the manga ever since they announced the Anime adaptation. Of Course that I'm still up to date of the manga where there are also ecchi, but not that many in that adaptation. I still love reading it and hoping that it wouldn't take 100+ more chapters just to end the manga.
And as you can tell that from reading this review, you think that I don't like the ecchi parts. I personally don't mind fan service overall, but if they over done it. I'm done.
At least Dress-Up Darling didn't put it in every episode.{we could only see some glimpse of it}
And if they had put her in those situation at many time, I would have been like . "Yeah, That's Too Much For Now."
They could've done this without a fan-service, but whatever. It's not like it could kill me to look some underwear or make me nosebleed.
I wouldn't have put a diverting score for this series, plus, I could never hate both characters. Mostly on Marin. The voice actress of Marin made the perfect fit for her. I can never appreciate more that they adapted Marin really well the same way as the manga with her eccentric words.
I'm pretty sure that there are some people hate this series because of an “overdone” fan-service. Truth to be told, they're missing the points that this series has related to (staggering about Struggles/Emotions, Introverts, Gyaru, Otaku, Cosplay, and Hobbies). These tags are mostly happening in Japan right now.
To this predicament review.
I give this a review score of a 7.4/10.
I would put this a 8 if it wasn't for some fan service.
