Review of Absolute Duo

This review contains a summarize version of the review. It does not contain any spoilers that may affect the plot. Story 3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summarizing the story, we get Tooru Kokonoe as the main character, he had a traumatic incident wherein the person he loved was killed, seeking for revenged he enrolled in a school. Tooru has a power called blaze, and this school enhance the potential of his blaze, by the way he wields a shield, and regarded as an irregular due to him having a shield instead a weapon, but in the school you must have a duo, because the school's mission is to find theabsolute duo....

At first the plot fascinated me and thought "it might be a good anime", and I saw this trending so I watched it. I won't sugarcoat things here, it was basically horrible, it seems that it was written by some 17 years old who has a chuunibyou, it was stupid the story had no exact plot, backstory, character developement; any of these wasn't present in the story. Even if you tell me it is a 12-episode-story that's why it isn't enough to add in these, then tell me why "how did they throw in fan service?"

I'm going to spoil you guys now, the main character and his girl go to the mall and suddenly the guy opened the curtain while the girl is changing, There is an episode where they go in the beach because of a field trip and then the bra of the girl got wash up by the sea. Now guys these "spoilers" are common in a ecchi/harem story. Almost every harem/ecchi story has these sequences so you could find it in other ecchi/anime stories such as
"Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry" and "Trinity Seven". Asking me what is unique with this story, I can't answer.

Art 6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was inconsistent, sometimes the art was colorful, sometimes it was dark. In my opinion the art wasn't bad but wasn’t good either, The background was beautiful but the character design seemed childish; it wasn't very fitting for the background. Not much to say in art.

Sound 6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I must praise their efforts on the sound, because the opening and ending changed even though it's just a 12-episode-anime but the reason I gave 6 is because I couldn't feel the battle sequence, the romance part, and etc.. The sound is inaudible in some cases; a battle scene without music is just boring.

The voice actor is a good choice for the characters designs such as Nozomi Yamamoto, who voiced Julie in this anime, you could really tell the anime was aiming for a kuudere character since she was the voice actor.

Character 3---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what I hate the most in the anime, they introduce characters but they don't give notice to these characters? Some characters lack attention, like that muscle guy, what’s his name? I FORGOT CAUSE WTF, YOU DIDN'T EVEN GIVE HIM ONE DIALOUGE; in one episode he only flexed his muscle. It's not only one guy, all of the major characters had no story; there was no reason why the main character even wanted revenge or whom he wanted to revenge against, the series ended full of mystery, not one major mystery involving the main characters were solved. And even though they couldn't give attention to the other characters they kept adding more and more characters, that’s just stupidity

Enjoyment 2---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basically, It wasn't worth my time, it felt like I was just watching other ecchi/harem anime. It was just the same in some points. For an experienced anime watcher it is generic, cliche, and predictable. This anime would surely disappoint you.

For those who just started watching anime and want to watch anime, this series wouldn't be good for you, there are other harem/anime that may satisfy you (highschool dxd/aesthetic of the rouge hero). This series would just be a disappointment on how you view anime.

Overall 5---------------------------------------------------------------------------
More complaints:
In the review of the story I said the writer was a 17 year-old chunibyou, let me explain it to you. The character's dialogue is something so shitty I had to cover my ears and just read the subtitle. A gothic Lolita said 9 times (9 times is an exaggeration) in the show "everything is done so we could achieve the absolute duo." why would you emphasize this dialogue? This dialogue should have only been said once for in my opinion it would keep the story more mysterious.

And also parts of the story were unrealistic, I'm not saying being unrealistic in an anime is bad, but atleast keep it consistent. For an example, there was a part they were falling from a second floor in a mall and it took about 20 seconds just to get down, but when they jump from the second floor(yes, jump because they are strong) it only took a split second.
TL;DR ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Story: didn't focus much on the plot but went full fanservice and introduce too many characters that the main characters didn't get enough time for them to unravel their past; and by past, meaning the reason why the story started.

Art: sometimes good, sometimes bad; inconsistent, character design didn't fit too well with the background.

Sound: efforts were good, good choice of VA (voice actors too), but it the background soundtracks were inaudible and forgettable too. Imagine Darth Vader walking without the imperial march, seems bland right? That is the feeling on some parts.

Character: didn't have any developement (by the developements meaning flashbacks or growth of an individual). The characters were not given attention.

Enjoyment: did not enjoy this anime at all, waste of time.
