Review of Absolute Duo
An interesting anime. The concept isn't that far-fetched but does feel lacking at some points. It popped off at the beginning but I feel like the later episodes kinda fell down. My interest slowly went down as the episodes progressed, which sucks but I went through with it. I feel like there could have been more to this anime. The story isn't bad, but it does feel rushed. It also feels like they just added a few ideas just for the sake of adding them, but maybe that's just me. I expected much more initially, which may be the reason why I'm disappointed. Overall, not abad story but it has unused potential which is unfortunate to see.
Characters are unique and interesting in their own way, but not much is done with them in terms of developments and such (the bunny teacher is annoying tbh). They all have the basis of being good characters but are just left as is, which is a bit disappointing. Because of this, they end up growing dull and feel a bit more repetitive than they should.
The animation was surprising, to say the least. I did not expect that much quality from an anime like this, which is why I was pleasantly surprised. However, the animation is pretty much this anime's strong point, which is unfortunate.
In the end, it's a good anime to watch to pass the time, but it was nothing worth investing in. A season 2 might give a more promising experience, but the likeliness of a season 2 is extremely slim to none. Overall, if you are interested, watch this, but if not, then it's not worth it. Keep your expectations leveled and far, or you'll get let down.
