My Dress Up Darling - The Complete Season - Blu-ray & DVD
J**7
Hobbies and Skills Make for a Charming Romance
This product comes with 2 Blu Ray discs and 2 DVDs, containing 12 episodes. Available in dubbed and subbed. Subbed in English.I recommend to any anime consumer to purchase a physical copy of any and all anime franchises you enjoy. All western anime distributors deal with limited-licensing issues which makes future access to any one particular anime via digital media, problematic.A passionate cosplaying gal who lacks the skills needed to truly live out her hobby to the fullest stumbles upon the find of a lifetime, a male seamster. Overwhelmed by the gal’s energetic passion and the offense of her poor stitching skills, the male seamster agrees to support her endeavors of a cosplayer. Together, the duo are able to produce masterpiece replicas of character attires, earning the attention of more than cosplay fandoms.But the desire of this gal’s cosplaying has created quite the opportunity for two young hearts of different social circles to come together in an adorable romance.This anime is a very charming romance born from the hobby and skills between two young adults. Its great! The visuals are outstanding and has beautiful, yet lovely light fanservice. The artwork is outstanding!I’ve seen the passion cosplayers have for their craft regarding authenticity towards fictitious characters, and this anime certainly reflects their commitment. Though I don’t know how many of them end up in cute romances IRL.I believe this is the first anime voice acting gig for Amalee. She’s been around for a few years now, making a name for herself on YouTube by singing anime opening/ending music titles in English. You should have a listen to the hundreds of music videos she has. Also has voice acted for visual novels such as: Crystallie (available on Steam). She’s got a really lovely voice and singing skills range from ballad to rock. She does a fantastic job in this anime by bringing this character to life with her VA skills. I really hope she becomes a regular for anime as that is a very pretty voice.Also heard that during and after the release of this anime, the sales for hina dolls increased to a notable level IRL. Way to go with the indirect advertising on a product there.

Funny and cute, but smart. Written quite well.
One of the better anime series I've seen.The series was funny, interesting and cute. I got a good laugh out of a few episodes and loved the humor and play in the relationship between Marin and Gojo. Looking forward to series 2. Was a good step out of my normal watching habits of just watching anime movies, like those from Makoto Shinkai and Mamoru Hosoda, I might be interested to try a few other series as well, without subscribing to Crunchy roll. Get this series if you are interested in romance/comedy in your anime series.

I had to have a copy to open and watch!
I had to own a copy to open and use as a watch copy. I love this anime. I used to Dress-up in costume, you guys call it Cosplay. So this anime kind of touches my heart. It's a part of me I miss. The subject matter is well done and well crafted. The story is more of a rom/com, with moments of fan service. Given the subject matter, I would not expect less.AND WE ARE GETTING SEASON 2, IN 2025!!!

shuki.
Kitagawa-san, who looks like she came straight out of the original manga, is so cute, I can watch her endlessly.Upconverting to 4K & Hi-Res makes it even more amazing.A disc that allows you to have a date at home with Shukipi!

GREAT!
A third of the way through watching, I knew five hours wasn't going to be enough. I've read online they are making a second season. I hope that is true. Even if not, they gave this one a very satisfying ending.* P.S. about episode 12 *Here are some thoughts about episode 12 I've decided to add after my initial review. This is pretty much a stand-alone segment that you could probably show to someone to introduce that person to the series. It has a revelation that one already pretty much knows as the series goes on. Not really a spoiler. And what she does for income is talked about in passing with her group of friends in episode 1. Episode 12 actually could have been used as episode 1 and have the rest of the show as a flashback. The producers have given this episode the exact same title as that of the series and presented a story that probably comes to most viewers minds before they actually find out what the show is all about. There is little to nothing about cosplay. It's just a very nice and very sweet watch.("ANIME: Storytelling at its best")

Great series, but the disc holders need work.
I love this series! From the adorable chemistry of the main characters, to the little details in the art. This series is phenomenal!That said, when my dvds arrived every single disc was loose in the case. They weren't scratched or anything, but that did give me a mini heart attack, since I've had that issue before.
