Review of D-Frag!

For a time in media when action and drama and violence tend to stand out amongst other genres, a show focused specifically on the aspect of comedy is very much appreciated. And, oh boy, does D-Frag! do comedy well. With the concept of a school "game creation club", it really does allow the show to be, well, creative. A lot of the things that go on are ridiculous antics that one wishes could be a part of their high school experience. Following the mis-adventures of a high school "delinquent", D-Frag! mixes a huge variety of characters, including the aforementioned "delinquent" who is much kinder than heis made out to be, the outrageous club leader with her trademark 'Bag of Darkness', the rival club leader and her...ahem..."melons", and very many other characters that bring a great feeling to the show and a lot of diversity.

Oftentimes in a show, you will see something that doesn't add up or it makes you think that "hey, why does nobody realize this?" or "why does nobody point that out?" However, in D-Frag!, those moments are nearly non-existent with many comedic moments coming from characters simply pointing out how bizarre a situation is.

The art of D-Frag! is very well crafted and uses many bright, vivid colors to portray this atmosphere of light-heartedness and humor. Similarly, the show's soundtrack leans more toward happy, upbeat tunes that really convey this atmosphere equally as well as the art. This show was produced by Brain's Base, a company that has had more famous works such as Baccano! and Durarara!!. D-Frag! is just another show that belongs on their repertoire of great anime, even if this show is much less dramatic and more colorful than some of their past works

D-Frag! is an episodic show, with each new episode having a new conflict and moments of hilarity. On occasion there are times when there will be small arc that span 2 or 3 episodes, but for the most part the viewer can expect some series of new, crazy antics each episode.

D-Frag! is a comedy through and through, and a well done one at that. If you are looking for a show that will make you feel emotional or be very drawn in by the story, look elsewhere, for D-Frag! is simple fun to be enjoyed at your leisure. It's no masterpiece, but it's a ridiculously good show that will have you cracking up.

Positives:
+"Stalemate" is a fun, upbeat opening tune that, while it may not be the best piece of music, gets stuck in your head very easily
+The comedy in this show is some of the best I've seen in any TV show
+Characters are all unique and have very different personalities that give the show lots of diversity
+Art and sound are very bright and well made
+Very fun concept with hilarious antics along the way

Negatives:
-Only a mere 12 episodes and and OVA (WE NEED MORE)
-Some characters are tossed aside and others sort of appear out of nowhere

There really isn't much wrong with this show. However, it's distinct lack of content (being only 12 episodes) prevent me from giving this show a perfect score. D-Frag! still remains a near perfect comedy that anyone can enjoy and will keep you entertained as many ties as you wish to rewatch it (the rewatch value is pretty high)
And that is why D-Frag! gets a 9/10
