Review of Please Put Them On, Takamine-san

As the one who read the manga of this show I was exited to see it, especially because of the juicy 1st episode. Those who watch know about what I am talking about. But the way they implemented 2 crucial things kind of ruined it for me. I will explained why later in review. Animation and sound: Pretty standard, the animation was fluent during the entire time and music was ok. Nothing else to add for this part. Characters: Takamine is an interesting one, as the entire story revolves around her power and how she uses it to get what she wants. If you are into yanderegirls with superior complex you will enjoy her character. MC is your standard weak nobody who is not only downright self critical to the point he as well do not exist for others - he is also so dense that black hole wish it was denser than that. The rest of the characters are either too unimportant or do not exist as well. Only development that is happening in the show is MC Kurota slowly getting more confidence but it is a pain until he gets there.

Story: The story is quite simple - it is about Kurota becoming Takamine's 'follower' and doing her bidding while growing slowly as a character trough various situations. Now, the story in manga is great because of 2 reasons: no censorship and no stupid CGI butterfly every time she uses her power. The anime story really does not do it justice as in manga it only starts to get better after where last episode left us. If they decided to spend less time on long CGI scenes and do more to showcase the growth between them then the story would have been better. Like this is it your standard weak MC and dominating FMC show. TO be fair, manga is still not done and we do not have full grasp on how she has the power she posses and what is her ultimate goal, whatever author decides to do for the ending will make it or break it. But that is for the future to decide.

Overall score: 6 (for anime). It was an ok show, and if not for the stupid censorship that caused the delays and CGI butterfly it would have been solid 7 out of 10 (I rate it 7 for myself as I liked the manga and at least they were mostly faithful to it).

If you are interested in seeing some dominatrix ecchi then give it a go, otherwise it's better to check some other shows. As for the manga - go ahead and give it a read, no censorship + awesome art = epic win.
