Review of Absolute Duo

Absolute duo is an interesting take on a very old story. It has decent art, using a variety of colors and environments to portray the story. However, this is only slightly above average, and is still probably the best thing about this anime. While it has a certain charm to it and maintains a slight level of comedy, the characters and plot fall short. The main cast is bland and predictable, and some characters only seem to have value as another member of the harem. The main character himself is terribly dry and has such a cliche mindset, and mindlessly acts to "protecthis friends". This is very predictable, repetitive, and makes me generally loath the character. Still, it was an entertaining story to witness. The characters would probably satisfy most ecchi/harem audiences despite the lack of actual character depth. Some minor characters do give this anime some life, but overall, the main cast falls short.
