D-Frag!: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]
A**.
Women Drain the Life Out of Men, Confirmed? Maybe
- Synopsis: Our protagonist is a big-shot, or so he thought until he met a group of cute but eccentric and borderline psychotic ladies. From the moment he met them, his mental and physical well-being started going down-hill. Tune in to see if the protagonist is able to handle these cute but deadly-in-their-own-way girls in this whacky comedy.===========================================================================================================- Comments: This is a silly comedy with plenty of outrageous situations. The fan-service may be on the lower-end when compared with other animes, but if you don't mind it, the anime will still be enjoyable. Though, this is great for those that like comedy in general, however, if you prefer something more thought-provoking, this might not be for you. If you enjoy pranks and the like, then this might be a comedy to consider.- Analysis: This depicts plenty of dialogue and interactions. This may infer to the fact that relationships, however significant or not, are an undeniable part of life. That is, it is inseperable just as the contrasting harmony of light and darkness: Two opposites that cannot be separated. Just like life and death.As the viewer was probably aware, especially when considering the characters of this anime, everybody (doesn't matter who) has issues. These girls in particular are dangerous in their unique ways. But as many people will learn, a true friend accepts another person for who they are. So it's all good, since our protagonist displays adaptability. Everyone's got their strengths and weaknesses, after all.- Features: English and Japanese audio with English subtitles. Includes 12 episodes on 2 Blu-rays and 12 on 2 DVDs for a total of 4 discs. Approximate run-time of 5 hours and is rated TV-14 for fan-service and suggestive scenes.- Conclusion: A whacky comedy with an overall light-hearted tone. Great for anime viewers that enjoy silly, over-the-top situations and cute girls. Though this isn't for those with dry-humor, it is still appealing for those that want an anime to have some laughs with. This anime also portrays that females can be a source that shortens the life-span of men.===========================================================================================================- Recommendations: Shimoneta, Prison School, Shomin Sample, Good Luck Girl!

It's Roka's party, sorry Kazama
Kenji Kazama joins a new high school with his friends. Kazama is a delinquent. He wants to rule the school. Unfortunately Kazama is way out of his league. The school is really ruled by Roka. Roka is the president of the Game Creation Club. Roka needs to recruit more members for her club; sorry Kazama.This then becomes the story of how Kazama and the Game Creation Club survive multiple challenges from the real Game Creation Club and other factions within the school. Can he survive the whacky members of the club? Can he deal with the machinations of the student council vice president? Can he cope, can he cope, can he cope? All of this is told with a sense of humour, good animation and fast pacing.This is a guilty pleasure anime. It leans heavily on established themes, such as slice of life, harem, student council, high-school club life and many more. It's well worth watching all the way through even if the last story arc is a little weak. Highly recommended.

A very fun and short anime
If you like comedy anime, this is one of the best ones that have aired in the current decade and definitely a must watch IMO.However, you shouldn't expect some kind of serious plot in it, mainly because it has been like this since the first volumes or so or in the manga and the author has acknowledged this on the back of one of the volumes. (See Seven Seas' translation).

This was an entertaining gag comedy series. Sadly the OVA is missing.
This was an entertaining gag comedy series. Only primary complaint is that it's not the complete series. The 1 OVA made in 2014 isn't included. I don't know why. Looking it up it seems to have only been released in Japan. Bummer.Blu-ray quality is better than DVD, which is how it should be. DVD version has unique main menu art which is neat.Audio is good. Subtitles are good. English Dub feels off but that's likely due to my hearing it with Japanese voices first being the main impression. English dubs usually don't have words/tone with the same impact or meaning as the original Japanese lines. Of course I understand there is reason for the differences. Timing the audio with visuals for one. English also mispronounce Takao, a character's name.Subtitles will only show the Japanese translations instead of showing what English dubs say.Extras didn't have anything I would want to check out. Just Promo videos/trailers for the show itself and other anime. Commentary on episodes 1 & 10.

Bargain price, fun watch
This short one-cours, 12 episode anime is hilariously twisted. Yes, most of the characters are tropes but there are some interesting twists with the main girls' manic obsession with elemental powers, and some revelations about character pasts and motivations. The main character at first glance seems wishy-washy, but he has a backbone just the same, and fights for his friends.The final fight, like most of the series, is just a bit farcical, but go with the flow and don't overthink things. If you can do this, you'll enjoy this series. It's a bargain at the price.

キャラが魅力的な学園コメディ系♪
一般的な国内プレイヤーで再生出来ます(再生環境/SONYの2015年~の最廉価プレイヤー『BDP-S1500』)。タイトルで日本語と字幕《OFF》を選択すると、普通に鑑賞する事が出来ます。少々ハーレムラブコメ要素込みのハイテンション学園コメディ。原作未読ですが、アニメ版の明るい展開にサクサク進むテンポ感は良い感じでした。「2期があっても良いんじゃない?」って感じの面白さなんですが、現状1期のみでおしまい。北米版の中でも安価な部類の作品なだけに、この面白さならばコスパ最高商品です♪
