Oh boy. I’m looking forward to reading my blogosphere compatriots’ posts on episode 6 of My Dress-Up Darling. I figure if anyone is likely to get a reaction from the general audience, it’s going to be Juju. Of course, I’m going to tell you all what I think but I’ll be honest, most of the…
You know, if there’s one thing I tend to enjoy even less than a pure romance anime, it’s a romance anime that ends badly. What can I say, I’m a fragile child and I don’t like sad endings. But sometimes, a sad ending is just what a story needs to really get the emotion across….

The Red String of Fate is another one of these legends that comes up from time to time in anime and manga and I swear I have known about it since I was a kid. Except did I? Did I actually just see it in an anime and decide, yeah, that sounds like a legend…
Hi Irina! Here we are at the weekend again and I am glad we are discussing this series yet again. Its so much fun and just continues to be adorable. Hi Scott, I hope this weekend was better than the last! How are you feeling this week? I saw that you’re getting ready for the […]…
There are a lot of alternative titles for this mang. My Love Mix-Up! is what’s on AniList and how you’ll find it at RightStuf. The original title is Kieta Hatsukoi. I’ve also seen it as Faded First Love and Vanishing My First Love, both of which sound way too dramatic for this story. In any…
It seems that My Dress-Up Darling is leaning into its ecchi source material every 3 episodes or so. I don’t remember if that’s just accurate to the manga or an adaptation quirk. I seem to recall a more even distribution. Then again, when you’re reading, it’s not always obvious where an episode would end. I…
Hi Guys, I’m taking over hosting duties this week because Scott is having a very busy weekend. Hi Scott, I hope you still had a bit of time to unwind over the weekend. I know how exhausting it can get when you come off a long week just to have to work and do chores…
Can you believe that My Dress-Up Darling is already one-third of a way through the season? Seems like it just started yesterday, right? I’m thinking that the anime will remain a lot more PG than the manga. That’s just fine by me. I find that the adaptation is doing a great job at highlighting the…
Hi Scott. I hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable Sunday! I did. We’re finally getting an actual winter here and it’s a bit nippy. I’m really happy about that. It was so unseasonably warm that I was starting to get worried we’d just be skipping the winter coats this year. I mean that’s just…
Hello one and all, welcome back to my weekly My Dress-Up Darling post! I did notice a few people starting to get less enchanted with episode 2 of the show. I was sort of expecting this. I do know that not everyone is a fan of this genre and the premiere was a bit tamer…
I am having a great time reviewing this show with Scott. Please go read out post on his site: Hi Irina. I hope that your week has been ok. I’ve had a little bit of a slower and yet busier one somehow? It all started with a booster shot which put me a little bit…
This time I watched episode 2 of My Dress-Up Darling pretty much as it aired. So I don’t know what my fellow bloggers think about it. I do know that those who thought there was a bit too much fanservice in episode 1 probably weren’t that crazy about it. I liked this episode though. In…
Scott and I collaborated last season on an AMAIM seasonal review, which we will pick up as soon as the second cour airs. However, Scott mentioned that he was enjoying our collab so I pounced! I had read the Sasaki and Miyano manga and enjoyed it. I always thought that it was a very cute…
Some of you may have picked up on the fact that I’m not much of a romantic. It’s not that I have anything against lurve really but I am just generally bored by romantic storylines and find most of what passes for epic love stories to be frankly very unromantic…. I mean people still think…
