Sono Bisuku Dōru Wa Koi O Suru

Okay, let's talk Sono Bisuku Dōru Wa Koi O Suru, or as we cool kids say, My Dress-Up Darling.

I know, I know. Everyone loves this show.

But…and this might be controversial… is it *really* as amazing as everyone claims?

My Hot Take: Marin is…Overrated?

Hear me out! Marin Kitagawa is undeniably cute.

She's bubbly, energetic, and rocks every cosplay she attempts.

But is she *that* different from other bubbly anime girls?

I mean, have we seen her do anything else?

Besides being the perfect, supportive cosplay partner?

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate her enthusiasm, but sometimes I find myself screaming at the screen, "Girl, get a hobby besides making Wakana blush!".

Wakana is the Real MVP

Now, Wakana Gojo. This guy is the unsung hero.

He's quiet, dedicated, and secretly a sewing genius. Talk about husband material, am I right?

He's not just a sewing machine; he's got depth!

We get to see his passion for Hina dolls and his struggle with social anxiety. He's complex! He's relatable!

While everyone's fawning over Marin's latest costume, Wakana's the one pulling all-nighters. Show some appreciation!

The Plot…Is It Just Cosplay Porn?

Okay, maybe "porn" is a strong word. But let's be honest: the show is *very* focused on cosplay.

Like, *really* focused. We spend more time looking at fabrics and measurements than, say, character development.

And the outfits? Super detailed. Super…revealing. I'm not complaining (okay, maybe a little), but is there a story beyond the costumes?

Sometimes, I feel like I'm watching a documentary about cosplay rather than a romantic comedy.

I get it, cosplay is visually appealing, but give me some emotional depth too!

Let's Talk About Those Angles…

The camera loves Marin.

And I mean *really* loves Marin. From certain…angles.

It's a little excessive, isn't it? It feels like the animators are winking at the audience a little too much.

I'm all for fan service, but is it necessary to zoom in on her every five seconds?

Maybe focus on Wakana's adorable blush for once!

Final Verdict: Still Enjoyable, But…

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching My Dress-Up Darling.

The animation is gorgeous, the characters are charming (ish), and the cosplay is impressive.

But, it's not the masterpiece everyone makes it out to be.

It's a fun, fluffy show with a lot of fan service.

Just don't expect a deep and meaningful exploration of love and identity. Expect awesome outfits and a shy boy trying not to die of embarrassment.

And that's okay! Sometimes, that's all you need. Just… maybe give Wakana a little more credit, okay?

Unpopular opinion? Maybe. But someone had to say it.
