Okay, let's talk Dress Up Darling. Great anime, right? But how many episodes are actually in it?
Answer: Just 12. That's it. Twelve little slices of Marin Kitagawa and Wakana Gojo goodness.
Too Few Episodes? (Maybe!)
And here's where I might get some flak. Twelve episodes are *not* enough! I said it!
I know, I know. Quality over quantity and all that jazz. But still! I needed more cosplay shenanigans.
Don't get me wrong, I devoured those twelve episodes like they were a freshly baked cookie. Each episode was a treasure.
The Bingewatch Blues
But then...it was over. The credits rolled. I stared blankly at my screen. Where was my next dose of delightful awkwardness?
Anyone else feel this? You get invested in Gojo's slow but steady confidence growth.
And Marin's unwavering support and vibrant personality? Gone. Just like that.
It's like finishing a really good book and then realizing there's no sequel. Tragedy, I tell you, tragedy!
We need more! More awkward measurements! More frantic sewing sessions! More heartwarming moments!
The Unpopular Opinion Corner
I know some people think twelve episodes is the perfect length. Kept it tight, no filler, blah blah blah.
Respectfully, I disagree. A *little* filler never hurt anyone. Especially if that filler involves more adorable interactions between Marin and Gojo.
Picture this: An entire episode dedicated to them trying to make elaborate desserts for a convention. Or maybe a full episode focusing on Gojo learning how to style wigs like a pro.
The possibilities are endless! And the cuteness factor? Off the charts! Think of all the cosplay opportunities!
Seriously, give the fans what they want! More Dress Up Darling! I'm not asking for much...okay, maybe I am.
Season Two Dreams
Of course, the *real* solution is a season two. Please, anime gods, hear my plea!
Give us more Marin! Give us more Gojo! Give us more cosplay!
We need to see them tackle new challenges, meet new characters, and maybe, just maybe, take their relationship to the next level.
I'm not saying I need a confession of love or anything (okay, maybe I do a little). But just...more. More of everything!
So, yeah. Twelve episodes. Great. But not enough. Not even close. I need my fix! Don't judge me!
Anyone else with me? Let's start a petition! Or at least complain loudly on the internet. That usually works, right?
In the meantime, I'll just rewatch the existing twelve episodes. Again. And again. Until season two arrives. A girl can dream!
Hey, if you read till here, give it a share, or let me know, if you agree with my unpopular opinion! I'd love to know what you guys think. :)
