If you have a criticism of this review please tell me, it would really help! :) I recommend the VN if you're interested in it, but not the anime unless you're really bored. I think this anime would've been a lot better with more of a budget and more episodes. It was aimed at the wrong demographic, was rushed, had a low budget and not enough episodes to flush it all out.

There were some pretty original ideas here and there, but without the romance there's really nothing all that amazing.

There were some plot holes, some of which the anime was at fault for due to not enough episodes. This isn't really the anime's fault, but yeah, it's especially boring in the beginning. Okay, plot! Pretty much the same as the VN, which, mind you I found mildly boring too. Probably the anime's only redeeming quality. It sets the mood fairly well in most parts. Near the end it was somewhat decent, but I've definitely seen better.Īs for the sound, I'm pretty satisfied with it. It seemed very rushed, especially towards the beginning. ( Basically so every character could achieve their 'happy ends'. I didn't like this at all, although I can understand why they did this. Every time an arc was finished Aoba stuffed that character into Glitter like he was building his own harem or something. ) The only character I really even liked was Clear. There was no development because it wasn't long enough.

Noiz, for example, was reduced to a background prop after his arc ended and Clear's began. You couldn't get attached to them because they didn't get a chance. In doing this, along with the short amount of episodes, they stripped the characters of any real feeling. I understand what the producers were trying to do here, which was acquire a new demographic.

Had some plot points revolving around the romance between characters. Honestly, I think you should never remove the 'L' from 'BL', as the original I feel sorry for previous fans of the series, as this does no justice to the original VN. What I was hoping for was, alas, too much. This anime is not a ten, not a seven or even the lowest score to ever be conceived of on MAL, a six. Anyone who gives this anime a decent score is just going easy on it. May it be said that this horror of an adapted anime has forever ruined my picture of DMMD.
