Hello everyone ! I hope you enjoy my detailed psychological analysis of My Dress-Up Darling Episode 2, the most wholesome, yet ecchi show I have watched, haha!

Truthfully, I cringed at parts of the episode with a bit too much "fan service," but I am glad that the episode picked up on the wholesome and deep core message train. I hope you see my effort to be as wholesome as I possibly can, even with my commentary HAHA.

What am I taking away from the episode? The most gratifying feeling in this world is to be seen, be accepted, and validated for who we really are. No more hiding. No more masks. No more facedes. Unconditional acceptance and permission to be our whole selves.

Remember, you matter. You are worthy.

P.S., Yappers, I hope you are enjoying your exclusive bonus series, Hiromiya, every week. I greatly appreciate your support :D

Anime is basically fan service...this episode has the most, but there will be more. Like it or not. The animators worked very hard with jiggle science. I have learned to laugh at it. I swear this really is a very wholesome show....that has a bit of fan service.

I feel like this episode is about as bad as it gets from what I remember. We'll see though.

Let's just say that since he knows her measurements, this won't happen again. But yes, fan service is huge in this anime, but not really an 18+ restricted anime. There's this tag called Ecchi, and this might be the best tag for this.

That wholesome message of accepting people and their passions is what made this anime successful. Great animation, voice acting, and comedic writing helped a lot of people see past the fan service; to see two very likable characters that viewers already want to root for. And it helps the viewer to see that Gojo is desperately trying to be a professional and ignore what’s literally right in front of his eyes. Poor guy didn’t even get to shower, change his clothes or sheets before this. While the angle of the foot measurement scene might suggest a dom/sub scenario, the pov used is playing tricks. Marin went from bubbly and joking to serious because she saw him struggling with composure. She put her feet on his legs so that he could not lose focus of the task at hand, she used a firm voice so that he could tell she was serious, and she used encouragement to express her belief in him. And it worked. She knows how to cut through his anxieties and get him to respond positively. That’s the opposite of submission. That’s empowerment. At his age I would run through walls for someone that showed that kind of support. Heck, I might have been willing to get pushed around for this kind of attention. And it’s wholesome that she didn’t use any of his emotions against him to get what she wanted. Because it would be so easy for her to manipulate him in this situation. It’s funny that Marin loves a character that’s into humiliation, while simultaneously not understanding how that dynamic works. Usually this type of fan service scenario plays into dom/sub humiliation, but that’s not how Marin played it. For an audience that’s aware of that scenario, this highlights Marin’s wholesomeness.

Yup. 100% empowerment. And yes, I played the series that "Slippery Girls" is based on. Although it's rather based on amalgamation of few titles. But what Marin does is sweet. It is pushing Gojo's boundaries, but it isn't malicious or abusive. And the moment she notices his discomfort, she changes her demeanor.

I don't remember if it was Geoff or Gigguk who called it "Show that is equally horny and wholesome". Not to mention people laughed at Gigguk, because his girlfriend (wife) is a blonde female YouTuber who does reviews of the most Hentai of Hentai and is into Cosplay. And no Marin didn't try to be Shizuku-tan in this scene. She genuinely tried to help Gojo-kun. And while I argue they are people who live in the same world and they have many similarities, she will need to learn how to interact with Gojo. She was thoughtful, but it didn't always landed very well with Gojo. She clearly thought about it, but her vision of the world is so different that she couldn't make Gojo-kun exactly calm. But she tried. And yes, she meant following the guide on Cosplay - to "become" Shizuku-tan.

Exactly. That specific part of the scene is a bit of a trope within the culture, but the tone is changed to an unexpected tone. It easily can be misinterpreted, but I think it’s the most insightful scene in this episode for understanding how Marin and Gojo’s relationship will develop. That theme and tone will repeat.

I personally really hate fan service, ESPECIALLY when it involves minors, so getting through some parts of this show was really hard for me, and it’s really a shame because the good parts of the show are REALLY GOOD, I really don’t feel like it needed fan service to attract an audience. That said, this episode is BY FAR the most fan service one; there will be some every episode, but never as heavy as this one.

Jan Negrey

There are various types of fanservice. This is a bit different than just showing stuff for the sake of having audience salivating. It's not like teenagers only work clothes that cover them completely. Marin's outfit is typical of a gyaru her age. And the fact that she doesn't think about the fact that she is sticking her ass in the air for Gojo to see...I knew a lot of girls who did that in similar shorts as Marin. I don't get why "pretty girl having her measurements taken in a swim-suit by a fellow classmate" is such a... tough time for people to watch through. I get that there is a line, but for me personally, we're nowhere near that line. And this show is about Cosplay. Bust point and inseam as well as correct measurements are probably the most important part of starting to crate costume. Part which most first timers forget about. Or eyeball it. So I watch these scenes laughing at the jokes and feeling for both of them - Gojo for being... exposed to Marin and Marin for... well, he "rubbed her nub" by accident. But neither of them acted badly in this situation. Or at least if they did it was a non-malicious character flaw that will be expanded upon later. Again, I get that one might be uncomfortable, but it saddens me that we often feel more empathy towards fictional character than human beings who are hurt around us. Besides, I knew a lot of girls that were Marin's age or younger who did much, much sketchier things in real life.

The closest I can think of for gojo would be a Seamster.

I’m not talking about her clothes or her mannerism, I’m talking about the multiple zoom in on her bouncing tits, but to each their own I guess

Sorry, I sort of used your comment as a bounce off point to criticisms of the show that I've heard. Most of it wasn't aimed at you - I mean your taste is none of my business. But I didn't make it clear. We have relatively new author (her first big work) and she wants to make a romantic Manga about Cosplay and Hina dolls. And she researches Manga and of course there is a lot of fan service in it. So you can see (especially when you watch first 2 Seasons) how she tries a lot of things and then corrects. Also in real life I used to give massages when I was in junior highschool. To girls. So I actually had girls in lingerie...or less in my room. I just had to stay professional (which was...difficult at times...hormones). And while jiggling is excessive - notice how throughout the series Marin is the most Animated character. Meaning the spend a lot of budget on making every detail of her movement correct. In some cases they animate on 1's for God's sake. That's next level commitment. I don't mind sexualization of minors if it actually serves the plot, because whether we like it or not, minors do a lot of shenanigans IRL. I agree that when it becomes voyeuristic it becomes a problem. But that's what for me makes a difference between fanservice for fanservice sake and fanservice for actual plot reasons. 1st one is purely for voyeuristic reasons. There is no explanation for it. While I can totally buy Marin thinking that bathing suit is okay - because after all people go to public places wearing it. And since she moves...a lot, then yes, her breasts jiggle.

Bruh the haircut makes you look like you're 21 WHAT I actually had to do a triple take, loving it man

You missed level 4 😂. Forgot all about the first bit of foreshadowing/audience trolling in this episode: Marin brought Gojo cheesecake - both kinds! 🤣 Cheesecake is slang for pinup girls. 😂 it comes from the saying (pinups) are “better than cheesecake.” Gojo got the best of both!
