Marin is a high-schooler who has kinks such as ‘wanting to be a sex slave like her favorite anime character’ and legitimately strips down in front of a guy she just met since he knows how to use a loom. If you’ve never seen a clip of Dress-Up Darling, just know that the number of explicit and uncomfortable shots of Marin, an underage high-schooler, are lengthy and many. I’m going to start with the ecchi, probably the most controversial aspect of the series. Not only are all the aforementioned good aspects kept to a minimum, a lot of its potential is wasted since the writer had ‘different’ ideas on their agenda. Unfortunately, the aforementioned show is only something I wish Dress-Up Darling stays true to. “Wow, that sounds like a good show compared to the show you just said in the beginning! How are they the same?” Even at its peak, the romance will be very cheesy, but at the very least, it’s a passable experience at that very scene. Marin, when she’s bearable, can act as a strong supporting character by establishing a fairly interesting contrast between her vibrant personality and Wakana’s insecurity and awkwardness by offering herself as a confident and quirky friend and eventual love interest. Undeniably, when the series decides to offer insight on Wakana’s character, his struggles, and his dreams, it is able to do so very well. Occasionally, there are detailed explanations for the requisites of certain cosplay in order for someone to create and dress up in their attire these moments actually illustrate what exactly it takes to become a cosplayer, as the show had advertised in its PV. You’d think that based on the synopsis of the story, there would eventually be a shift in primary focus from cosplaying to romance-drama, but you would only be half-correct. That ‘trauma’ was when a little girl Wakana met as a kid said something like “EMarin on the other hand is a quirky girl who somehow went flying head first into Wakana’s desk this leads to the contrived beginning of two kids who ‘happen’ to learn about each other’s unique hobbies and each other. He is reserved and afraid of expressing himself or discussing his hobbies due to a ‘trauma’ he experienced. Wakana is a quiet kid without many friends. This time, the series mainly focuses on the relationship of a tailor and a cosplayer with the shy introverted boy Gojou Wakana and manic pixie dream girl Marin Kitagawa as our leads. Admittedly, that doesn’t excuse me from just trashing the show entirely, so I will still try to be as objective as I can, since this review is meant for potential viewers. I would like to preface at the beginning of this review that My Dress-Up Darling has become one of my most hated anime. Forget the synopsis about the interesting life of a cosplayer and doll-maker respectively, this is a terrible high school slice of life with some of the worst ecchi sequences I have ever seen. I cannot emphasize this enough, but My Dress-Up Darling is an ECCHI rom-com.
