Review of Deca-Dence

Okay, okay, I admit it, I like this anime... but of course, is not perfect. Lets begin with the most notorious aspect of the series, the first plot twist was awful because it suddenly introduced the world of the robots without any kind of anticipation, also, the fact that the robots have that chibi design was weird af, actually, the constant lively atmosphere prevented me from taking anything seriously, even when we're talking about an anime where the life is complicated, and people died in such horrible ways. The world was hardly explored, and the plot is (apparently) about changing a corrupt system, nothing really new. But...What makes this anime so special? Why did I like it? Well, the answer is, because the characters are cool.

The MC is not just an enthusiastic girl who wants to make her dreams come true, actually, her entire motivations are questioned once she discovers the reality, and that has permanent consequences, something quite atypical in the anime industry. But also, we have her master, who has a very lovely interaction with the protagonist, and they complement each other very well.

And that's it, is a very basic story with good protagonists, that at least, tried to do something a bit different than all the modern animes out there, where the concept of a videogame (like SAO) means nothing due to the lack of tension they usually have. Well done Deca-Dence, at least you did something different.
