have mixed feelings about this. I read 2.5 a long time ago and got up to date with it when it had about 30 chapters, and I kinda just forgot about it, but I liked it a lot. Hearing it got an anime got me pumped up, but after watching this episode, it felt off, and after re-reading the first 3 chapters it's apparent. They censored A LOT. Not just a panel or two, they censored PAGES of stuff. If we pretend that isn't a major issue, then the rest of the anime does seem to look great, and the fact it has a 24 episode run time is really surprising.
I know this manga isn't focused on it's ecchi, and I believe they tone it down later in the story, but when censoring is this blatant and apparent it feels very unsettling. I'm just gonna re-read the manga and catch up to it, while also watching the anime weekly. I massively prefer watching anime in general, but alas....

This is my opinion and my experience as well, but I read till like chapter 60ish? At least I know what will happen until the anime finishes, but yeah, this has amazing quality, kinda reminds me of the level they did To love ru with
but too much cut content and balant censorship
oh well, it is what it is
| @Zero_r2 The raws I have show nipples for chapters 2 and 3 but not for page you posted. I wonder what's up with that. This probably means that the nipples in that panel was drawn in by a fan but I'm not sure. |
| It reminds me a lot of Ijiranaide, Nagatoro, though the female leads are quite diffrent. But it was amusing and I look forward to more of the anime-fandom parodies! The romance part is also off to a good start, as the two have good chemistry. Funny how it's always the fanservice shows that actually manage to put two (or more) characters who fit each other together. |
| meh the fanservice is too tame for ecchi |
| Didn't really like it. Too much fanservice, don't know how they will make 24 eps out of this but I'm also not a manga reader. So far prefering Dress up Darling to this. |
 |
| Sono Bisque Doll vibes all over it, and I'm obviously in! |

| It looks pretty fun, though I'm surprised about the episode count, but I'm not complaining. |
 |
| This is a better otaku show than Dress-Up Darling and Ririsa >> Marin |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |

Gotta love me some pure, unbridled otaku anime, all the more so when it's about sexy cosplays. Not the biggest fan of the male protagonist, but the girls are all pretty cute with interesting personalities. Will definitely watch this till the end.
Unfortunately though, the anime is quite censored, as had been hinted already by the author a long time ago. Instead of just censoring the nipples, they're doing away with other things that they didn't need to remove too though, like underboobs and butts.

| @DarkDooM2 A friend said I should read the manga.. Now I know why 😂 |
| Ecchi harem anime about a high school club that's about how an incel otaku comes to appreciate real women? Am I back in the 00s? But anyway, I'll watch it for scientific interest lmao. Also, I have long been accustomed to the existence of based women who are just as obsessed with ecchi and fanservice as men. But are there really girls who fetishize the possibility of making men horny? As a man, I would also like to look hot for girls and myself, but I have never been that obsessed with it. |
 |
| Ririsa for the win honestly! |
| Ririsa = Mash Kyrielight x Marin Kitagawa... i see this fusion when i see her Good starting, otaku theme, nice fan service with this cute and pretty Ririsa. Wait and see what will happen, and we have the queen Akari Kitou in seiyuu too so we have got 24 episodes of pleasure ^^ |
Reply to Augmented58
It reminds me that I despise Dress-Up Darling, but compared to this anime, it enlightens me that it was a masterpiece. I just need to watch worst than it.
| @Augmented58 i think they will play a lot with the ecchi (not against it but hope it will not be to the idea otaku = pervert) just sad too see this anime have 24 episodes but My Dress Up Darling only 12and we don't have news about the 2nd season for the moment |

@DarkDooM2 A friend said I should read the manga.. Now I know why 😂
| @Spaceteck so it's fan service but have censure XD i was wondering how was the fan service in the manga so now i see lol thanks for this post for see the difference |
| Volcel otaku meets goonette obsessed with the same character as he is; hilarity (and maybe romance?) ensues. I didn't have the highest hopes for this show, tbh, expecting it to be a mid-tier Dress-up Darling clone, but this 1st episode was way funnier than I expected it to be! This show has some potential, let's see where this goes! |
 |
| Ririsa is pretty cute and Okumura is a little too lucky with this. |
| Here we go, My Dress Up Darling 2.0? When they said your waifu isn't real, Ririsa be like: alright BET LMAO Oh my goodness she is more wild and freak than Marin Kitagawa, but could she get as popular as Marin?? 🤔 Pretty funny and entertaining first episode. This is gonna be spicy and degen shit, also we got 2 cour 24 episodes season? Hell yeah, i'm all here for it. |

| ini mah mantap mantap di mata |

| finally. some quality content |
| Immediate drop due to retarded main protagonist who loves screaming. |

A little TOO otaku wish fulfillment, geez. What made My Dress Up Darling so good, IMO, was that the guy WASN"T an otaku.
| @MenchiK1 ??? Gojo was the embodyment of an otaku, just not by west standards but by the original japanese definition, which is someone obsessed with one hobby (you can be a manga otaku, but also a baseball otaku, a music otaku, etc) and no one was more obsessed with one thing that fucking Gojo and his sick love for those dolls. |
| Waifus only represent ideals |
| I had high hopes from the manga being recc'd to me in a server. I wonder if the Blu-ray will be de-censored. Certain recent series have proven adaptations that keep the raunchiness of their source material can still gain popularity. Ririsa having an eye for accuracy and staying in-character after Senpai caught her fall were the highlights of the episode for me. |

| @CorbanEsp Not the original definition, 'otaku' originally was specifically a manga obsessive, the word means 'house' and refers to having a house full of manga. A term like "baseball otaku" is, strictly speaking, a metaphor saying "as obsessed with baseball as an otaku is obsessed with manga". |

| @logopolis Today I learned that a trivia I always thought was true was mistaken. Thanks, always cool to get new trivia. Still think of Gojo as a full fledged otaku though. |

| very closely to my dress up darling , but this one is more colorful |
| Love this so far! Hope we get more scenes like 15:12 though 🤤 Really need to check out the manga though! It looks like a lot ended up being censored |

@Alkimia I mean the anime probably isnt adapting the the extra chapters too. Chapters that are exclusive to the volume releases and they are like, really great, sometimes fanservice, sometimes even more time with a certain character. They clearly want this to be a major multimedia project so that you have many ways to enjoy 2.5 Dimensional Seduction. And by all means theyre succeeding with the numbers on the crane game figures based on the anime designs already
| @SevensDran I need to check that out! Not sure when I'll get around to it, but I need it! |
|
| Hm, as someone who didn't even plan to watch this despite reading the mediocre manga, I still don't really care much about this. Sure there's comedy parts which are a bit funny but I might have a major issue with this obsession this dude has over Liliel. It's kind of creepy. I'll have to see if I'll continue but as the same as the manga, I'm not having high expectations of this. |

| Pretty funny series so far. Not as much ecchi as what I thought, but it was a solid start! |
 |
| So.... she's an exhibitionist, right? I mean... |
 |
which app did you use? |
| I had a lot of laughter, entirely over him adequately trying to be 2D only, and is usually good with that. Cosplay is so cool, I never see irl though since never go to comiccons, or animecons? I don't know stuff. (excluding a family friendly comic con I had on my installation I brought my kids to. LOTS of kids/people in those Demon Slayer pipemouth girl cosplays. Life is better when can get in to stuff. More enjoyable to analyze and embrace then look aware and fear/anger. Appears he went from 3 bros to 1 bra. For now it's nice, 4/5 for the episode. |

| @Zero_r2 The quality of the anime can't be disputed, the censorship on the other hand is very blatant and turns a 9/10 (maybe even a 10/10 done correctly) into an 8/10. However I've read a bit further than you have at this point and the manga gets a lot less edgy (and in my opinion, quite more boring) around chapter 30-40 or so. |
