But I canвЂ™t help but wonder how it is for the people who are diving into DMMd anime-first. IвЂ™m fine since I played the VN and I know what an all-mate is, I know about the coil, and I know the state of the island. We learn more about Rhyme than anything else. We hear an ad about all-mates, but thatвЂ™s it. We donвЂ™t even know whereВ the god damn city/island is.

In the first episode, we barelyВ get anything. But even if this is the case, you still have to give enough detail for the setting to be tangible to the viewers. If youвЂ™ve read or watched enough stories, you should know that storytelling does not have to be linear.В Depending on the the story being told, different types of storytelling could work. So, I focused on the storytelling and the transitionsвЂ¦ aaaaand well.

In fact, I did my best to ignore the art. Idk, maybe itвЂ™s just me, but I think the wrinkles on my forehead are now permanently embedded because of the many times IвЂ™ve cringed at this adaptation for a bunch of reasons, art included. But my eyes hurt DвЂ™:В I know that plot is more important than art, but I still think art is pretty important all things considered. Secondly, again, I understandВ that the visual novel CGs are great because they are made to be looked at for a long time and the anime isnвЂ™t (hence more detail for the VN CGs). IвЂ™d rather they remake the whole thing tbh. IВ hear theyвЂ™re going to вЂњremakeвЂќ episode 3, maybe they accidentally released a beta version or something. AobaВ on the other handвЂ¦ yeah, you saw.ДЇirst of all, I understand that itвЂ™s a thousand times more difficult to maintain the quality of art in an animation, but I donвЂ™t understand why itвЂ™s this bad, particularly episode 3. This is probably the best shot so far? I didnвЂ™t look at everything though so if anyone knows of a better shot, do tell.ДЇor some reason, Mizuki almost always looks good. Not that it makes much difference anyway. For the sake of вЂњfairnessвЂќ I tried to match up scenes from the anime that corresponds to and/or looks like a CG in the game. I kind of thought, вЂњOh, it might actually workвЂ¦?вЂќ But thenвЂ¦ The thing is, the first few shots (at the very beginning) werenвЂ™t bad. The problem is, it looks like whoeverвЂ™s in charge isnвЂ™t making use of these other things quite as well as they could.ДЄrt first. I knew that before I watched it, and DMMd has enough good plot and good characters to actually make an anime adaptation work without the BL stuff. Let me also say that my verdict of this being something closely resembling shit does not have anything to do with the fact that theyвЂ™re going to leave all the BL stuff out. I suspect the same thing will happen in future episodes, but well, I think I better get this off my chest before then lest I throw my laptop from frustration. It got worse.вЂќ Then episode 3 cameВ outВ and I goВ вЂњMaybe itвЂ™ll get better with this episode?вЂќ again and yeah no. I toldВ myself before episode 2, вЂњMaybe itвЂ™ll get better with this episode?вЂќ aaaand then I shake my head while watching the episode, вЂњYeah, no. Sorry about that.Д«efore anything, let me reiterate that I gave itвЂ“I am givingВ itвЂ“a chance. Also, my transition from topic to topic, much like the anime, seems rather wonky.

ThereвЂ™s a screencap of it down there if you donвЂ™t). The details of the anime would get foggier and foggier the further I go into the storyline because I barely watched episode 3 after that face Aoba made (I think you know which one IвЂ™m referring to. So if you want the first time youвЂ™ll be seeing them to be when you play the game, then donвЂ™t look. Idk if this is a warning or a note, but there would probably be screencaps of some of the CGs in the game. Will contain comparisons between the game and the anime (up to episode 3).Д¤.

I still donвЂ™t like it so youвЂ™re probably reading the wrong review.ДЈ. This is basically me bitching about the anime so be warned. TheyвЂ™re not making it difficult to guess whatвЂ™s in store anyway.Дў. If it was, then itвЂ™ll probably end up looking like itвЂ™s the best BL visual novel ever because IвЂ™m comparing it to its failed, twice-fucked-over,В animated self.ДЎ. For episode 3, I just kind of clicked on random parts, watched as much as I could, then turned VLC off and deleted every trace of it from my laptop.ДЈ. I draggedвЂ“goddamn crawledвЂ“my way through episodes 1 and 2. ThereвЂ™s a bad anime adaptation, and then thereвЂ™s this piece of shit.Дў. I played the game, alright? I like it enough to rant about this. How much money did they notВ spend on this thing because I swear it seems like they spent absolutely nothing on it and they just shitted it out and gave it to the networks to broadcast as is.ДЎ.
