Review of D-Frag!
This is my first review so take it with a grain of salt. Let me start by saying I wasn't expecting much from this series. However, I ended up loving it. Simple reason is the characters are, for the most part, really likable. Throw that in with this style of comedy and "storytelling," and you have a great show. I realize that when you look at my animelist, I'm very lenient in scoring, so again, take it how you will. Story: 7 The story is told in a basic, linear fashion. The main casts gets a problem and they resolve it. Nothing groundbreaking. However, the mainappeal of this show isn't how great the conflict is. It's how silly they fix they fix their problems. And the comedy/silliness is definitely up to par with the heavy hitters of the comedy genre.
Art: 6
Nothing special. Run of the mill artworks and visuals. The characters are pretty typical. But like I said earlier, the appeal is in the humor.
Characters: 8
I loved the characters. The cast of ridiculous support characters give the straight man all the material needed for the classic joke setup. That being said the characters are pretty static meaning they don't really go through huge changes in their thought or actions, but again, not that kind of show. Also they are pretty typical as far as comedy anime characters go.
Sound: 10
The soundtrack is just average even considering it's a comedy. The high rating comes almost entirely from the voice actors/actresses. They really did a good job showing the emotions and portraying their characters to their personalities.
Enjoyment: 10
This is where the high rating comes from. From start to finish, I was laughing my head off. That's exactly how this type of show is supposed to be. It's not something you try to find reason for the dumb things they do. If you try that, you'll ruin every anime ever.
Overall: 9
All in all, this was a 9/10. Yes 9. A solid 9 at that. Why? Because it's just so fun to watch. It says 9 means "Great," one step down from "Masterpiece." Is it comparable to the true masterpieces? Not even close. It's at least up there? Nope. It's not even in my own top 10. But to me, a good show is one that I enjoy. I certainly enjoyed this one.
