My first official romance animeeeee!

I went into this super blind & just based off the recommendations from you all mentioning that it was a romance/slife of life/comedy vibe!

And you guys have the BEST recommends bc I already love this!
It's so bright, bubbly, silly and just FUN.
The art is so colorful and shiny and satisfying to look at 💕
Everything feels so warm and the dialogue is insane but still cute & funny?

Somehow this anime ended up being a clash of two sides of my soul hahaha which I know sounds a bit crazy/dramatic. But I used to sew outfits for my barbies growing up all the way into middle school, so I immediately connected with Wakana. And you all know my love for cosplay, so I instantly adored Marin! But her personality and the way she brings Wakana out of his shell?? I love her.

But what I love the MOST about this is their chemistry and what they're already bringing out in each other. Marin is so outgoing and unapologetically herself, and I love how she's pulling Wakana out. For someone who's spent so much time feeling embarrassed about what he loves he is finally around someone who doesn't laugh at him for it! Someone who actually thinks it's COOL 🥹

And I feel like Marin gets something similar from him as well just in a different way? He takes her interests seriously and genuinely wants to know her not just be around her bc she's popular. Neither of them makes the other feel silly for loving what they love and there's something so comforting and sweet about that

I'm so excited for this cozy, happy little addition to our watchlist!
I don't have to whip out a notebook every 5 seconds to keep up with it (which isn't a bad thing LOL) and it had me feeling super light and just happy after watching 🤍

See you all next week!

I have no idea what happened with the other one I posted! The video was there and then it was just gone??? I'll def be letting Patreon know there seems to be a bug or something lol Sorry about that everyone 🤍

kaliwali

I was like "just refresh" on your other comment then I realized the video was literally missing & panicked LOL glad I could catch it quickly & get it back up for you all!

Hey Kali homeowner has meow in it, try reading it right from on

LainWulf

I was waiting for this one ngl Dress up Darling is a good romance with really endearing characters, yes it is a bit ecchi which some people couldn’t get over when it was airing lol...even insulting it, saying it was made by "an incel who never met a woman and created Marin as their unrealistic, ideal waifu" And then they found out the mangaka is by a woman who said that it’s actually Gojo who she made as her ideal boyfriend lol I think you will enjoy this one Kali and hopefully you will look into more romance or slice of life anime in the future Maybe you will even watch my all time favourite anime like Yuru Camp, Non Non Biyori or even K-on! one day A man can dream :)

In episode 2, you should go back and rewatch the scene where Gojo measures Kitagawa's inseam. I'm not saying this to be weird, I think it's actually an extremely important moment in the series and a lot of people completely miss it. It's extremely subtle, and you wont notice it if you don't have the volume turned right up.

I can't give my endorsement to this one lol. This is a horny gooner anime. I feel like My Dress Up Darling gives real romance animes a bad name lol. I'm still gonna watch the reaction, but I hate that this is your introduction to romance anime.

theBritishScotty

So happy you are reacting to this Anime, one of my favourites as I love the relationship between Wakana and Marin. 42:33 will never look at Tigger in the same way 😂

Christian F

If you want something that will fill your heart to the point of bursting in the romance catagory, try The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity. I think it blows this anime out of the water for the romance category.

Kali, so willing to try to new shows, genres. Props to Kali. Thank you. #AppreciateYou

Waiting4Erik

That was weird, I was able to finish watching the first video linked, but couldn’t interact with it. You’re going to love this series since you could laugh at all of episode 2 and 3 without reservations. There’s barely any fan service in Season 2 compared to Season 1, and the writing, direction, and animation is even better. MDUD loves literary and visual double entendres and messing with the audience. Ep 2 had a ton of them starting with the episode title. Marin brought the cheesecake - both kinds! Cheesecake is old slang for pinup girls. Then there was the setup for an audiovisual double entendre of Gojo clapping cheeks 🤣. One of the best gags in the show.

Twisted Glass

The speed with which you went from casually talking about the show to a shocked look to full on laughing during that one scene from episode 1 was so funny 😂 Also sewing machines are basically sorcery in my mind... Also also, if you're looking for suggestions for other colourful, happy, funny romance anime to look into in the future I would recommend "You and I Are Polar Opposites" as it's just as charming.

FinalMasterM

I absolutely love MDD, it's one of the most recent romcoms I picked up in manga form prior to the anime and Cloverworks did an amazing job adapting it. That said, seeing some polarizing comments about the series is disheartening, to each their own, but this is a wonderful series and the 'fanservice' IS an aspect of the show. Eroge is a term for erotic (adult) games, usually visual novels or the such where the main objective is to 'get with' a girl/guy by the end of it, or even playing them several times exploring all 'routes' and endings. Edit: Oh, she's not being bashful suddenly because he's measuring her. He accidentally "knocked on the door".

peeps

I won't knock folks that are completely put off by the fan service, I don't think there's anything wrong with finding it weird or uncomfortable. I was honestly 50/50 on whether you'd have a negative reaction to it or not but the show has so much subtance beyond just the fan service that I'm glad you seem to be pretty unbothered by it and are enjoying the rest of the show.

Yuzawaya (the hobby shop) and Swallowtail (the wig shop) exist irl. I've been to Yuzawaya and it's amazing with everything related to handicrafts. Kinda like Tandy Leather in that they've been around for generations. And they've been catering a lot to the cosplay scene recently.

choerrim

Yess Dressmaker is so fun and cozy, made with a lot of love too lol

mitchhamilton64

i dont think its fair to call a few moments out of the many other moments that arent fan service and label the show as "horny gooner anime"

mitchhamilton64

glad you handled episode 2 well... but next week is gonna be quite the test. 😬 again, it settles down as the series goes on. little fun fact, idk how many of them, maybe all of them but marin's friends are early designs the artist made of marin before she settled on her final look, which i love. instead of throwing those designs away, she just reused them as other characters. eroge is as you said, a lewd game and its pronunciation is ero-gay. i swear this show is cursed that just about every reactor misses that while gojo was in his head measuring that he accidentally "rang her doorbell" but its sort of important because, and take this argument as you will but the reason why episode 2 is so in your face is to present the feeling that gojo was having dealing with her like that. its supposed to be out there i guess to emphasize the whole ordeal, and then he accidentally touches her "there" and its flipped. she then gets super embarrassed and self conscious about her position and attire.

ML Snow

Watch the reactions, perhaps you’ll be able to move past those initial impressions and appreciate other aspects of the series...though I highly doubt it

LainWulf

While i agree that Fragrant Flower is a very wholesome romance, Dress up Darling is not a horny gooner anime... The show has a lot of heart and i mean, teenagers are horny...how is that a surprise I am sorry you feel that way but this dismissive blanket statement is what is giving this anime a bad name amongst certain groups, not the anime itself

GrossBee

"I like how self-aware she is." 10 minutes later: "She is SO oblivious." 😂

Ms. S

Yes on the question. Manga panels are an appropriate term! I love MDUD for remembering sexual chemistry as an important part of romance.

Billy Dancel

This is my 4th go round with MDUD and it finally clicked. Kitagawa is an exceptional judge of character. They have honestly just met and there wouldn't be anyone else she would totally trust and be comfortable with to take her measurements. GOJO is that person When he is in full focus mode there isn't anything he's not capable of handling. Wait and see.

EgregiousGrievous

Def a chick romance anime but you have to have a little fan service for the guys, those pervy Japanese animators never fail! BTW- This is a very popular anime in Japan, for REASONS!

EgregiousGrievous

eroge - noun A Japanese video or computer game that contains erotic content, usually in the form of anime-style artwork.

EgregiousGrievous

Marin blushes because Gojo bumped her bump during the inseam measurement! :)

rubberkidney

so there are def demons behind the scenes at work here right? wielding their cursed blood nen art to massacre a bunch of people? right? Oh, I see. It's the under butt demon art in this one. I see. Well, I'm game with that. I don't know if you're quite ready to go off this deep end, kali. We've really only grazed the very top surface of fan service. I kind of want to watch you see Prison School now. You would love it, but it would be bracing.

rian

after this one you gotta gotta see love is war :D

HadSkills

This is one of those anime I keep hearing about that I tell myself I’ll get around to watching, guess I’ll watch it right along with you! So far it’s great! Love the vibes of both the reactions and the anime 😁 yeah it seems a little fan servicey but it makes the comedy hit so well, I love it so far!

peeps

Technically made for guys since it's a seinen manga/anime. But I find the official magazine demographic classifications to be pretty redundant nowadays or at the very least far more flexible than they were 10 or 15 years ago.

Josue

Both of these main characters are so funny. You're going to really like this one, it only gets better. And it does eventually calm down with the fan-service stuff, as others have said. If you end up wanting another funny show, I would like to throw in some not-super-mainstream suggestions: Life Lessons with Uramichi-Oniisan, Laid-Back Camp, and Nichijou. All very different, all very funny. As for more romance/rom-com: Kaguya-Sama: Love is War, A Sign of Affection, and From Me to You are all great.

MaxZR

Probably my favorite romcom after You and I Are Polar Opposites. I‘d recommend this show to everyone I know without a second thought, if the characters were 3 years older, since the fanservice can get a little out of hand. Some can respect the author’s decision to (aggressively) aid us in viewing situations through the lens of a horny teenager and some can‘t. Those who can will open themselves up to an extremely wholesome and thoughtful work of art.

My Dress-Up Darling? You're on a roll! Good choice :3 Another romance anime I can recommend is Blue Box (Netflix is slowly feeding us the second season piece by piece right now, and it won and is nominated for several awards in romance and drama categories).

Paradyme

I made a comment when you posted your Fern cosplay that I couldn't wait for you to react to a certain Anime someday and this was that anime I was talking about. My Dress Up Darling is my favorite anime of all time and I am so excited to watch it again with you! ♥️

After this Please try out Horimiya, That show is so underrated, but so freaking nice.
