Review of Detroit Metal City

Probably the funniest series I've seen so far, Detroit Metal City proved to be a surprise hit for me. Not being a fan of heavy metal, I was having second thoughts about watching DMC. I'm glad I gave it a shot. DMC tells us how Negishi survives having two completely different identities: his original self - a sweet guy who enjoys singing pop and making friends; and his alter-ego KrauserII - the front guy for the death metal band, Detroit Metal City. Wondering how he tries to satisfy the people in both worlds will keep you watching. Poor Negishi was so confused with how he lives,and his confusion and panic resulted to the best scenes of the series. I loved the Tokyo Tower Scene, Tetrapot Melon Tea, and the public rape. There was never a dull moment in the series as the comedy presented really works, despite the foul language. I never thought I'd enjoy hearing the words "rape" and "kill" so many times.

Another thing I enjoyed is the music. Satsugai and Grotesque, were actually good. On the other hand, Sally, and the one about baked tarts and stuff was really cute and humorous. Oh and don't forget Detroit Moe City.

However, I was disappointed with how the series ended. Throughout the series I was looking forward on the day Negishi would finally live an honest life. The last episode was good, but it wasn't good enough for me to successfully end the series.
