Review of D-Frag!

Have you ever imagined an work so randomly amazing, that could even be saw as the best anime from an entire season? Well, D-Frag! surely wasn't a "number one", but its revolucionary comical style put a tough challenge for the other adaptations aired during 2014's first quarter. {STORY - 8/10} Centered on the Game Creation Club (Provisory), focus is basically upon... Playing games... D-Frag! is an unique breathtaking comedy that stands upon a simple thematic like having nonsense fun during afternoons? No! Most situations are not even based on this and constant disturbed interations between Kenji and every other character from D-Frag! is what draws attention andgives you a reason to watch it till' the end!

Joining against his own will, Kenji is now obligated to always attend reunions, which focus on eating snacks, reading manga, sleeping or playing games whose ideas are credited for the club. Keeping it alive is the main objective and many challenges to that are presented throughout episodes.

{ART - 7/10}

Despite relatively simple, characters are very well designed and most of them feature either distinct visual or appearance. Animations are consistant and fluid. Main scenario is the academy where the club is hosted, so it's deadly repetitive during most scenes, as every episode begins on a classroom...

{SOUND - 9/10}

Impossible not praising legendary Katsuyuki for his incredible voice acting under Kenji Kazama's role. Always screaming without losing breath is the main characteristic from the supposed delinquent and Konishi represented that with perfection.

For the girls, undeniable presence from Kana, voicing over Roka's cute, "yanderish-like" personality, means another strong point for D-Frag!'s dubbing cast. Chiwa Saitou, Aki Tokisaki and many other well-know names are also part of this project.

"Stalemate!", sang by the main girls, runs on a accelerated rhythm, featuring strong guitar and bass solos during all performance, while ED piece "Minna no Namae wo Irete Kudasai" is sang by Roka, Takao and Funabori's actresses, being more eletronic than instrumental, despite having almost the same rhythmical style and being as cheering as the intro one.

{CHARACTERS - 10/10}

Now into the best aspect from D-Frag!. Every episode featured the brief entrance of one or many new characters, that could have a lot or almost no screen time. Common people, gang members, nerds, ace students, heirs, among some other types, were added in the cast constantly, besides the main ones, members from both original and provisory Game Creation clubs.

Most of the secondary characters have their appearance limited only to the episode were they first star. Some can randomly appear during following episodes, but those are few and presence is always short.

All characters are exclusively unique, at least, on personality matters. They range from various kinds, like moe, misterious, bully, calm, perverted, masochist, sweet, tsundere, sleepy, unresponsible... Using so many types on a 12-episode anime is not easy. It isn't impossible as well...

{ENJOYMENT - 10/10}

Each episode steals more and more laughs. With all those stupid and awkward situations, it's impossible not liking D-Frag!. Even scenes that are supposed to be serious are literally spoiled by funny actions... Cheering excess, watch out, you may lose your breath.

{OVERALL - 9/10}

If you're looking for a very distinctive comedy, occasionally centered on romance, but focusing on unique kinds of gaming and also showing some really embarrassing situations, D-Frag! is just the most suited to fulfill all these requirements. Despite not being dramatic or having an intense, twisty plot, it impresses by constantly bringing something new. Gaming taken seriously (or maybe not...), that's how they play!
