D-Frag!

The Kazama Family—a gang of three wannabe delinquents and close friends, spearheaded by Kenji Kazama, is trying to make a name for themselves at Fujou Academy. On the first day of the term, the gang finds themselves putting out a fire in the Game Development Club. Instead of thanking them, the eccentric club members attack and knock out Kenji's two friends, forcing Kenji to fight for his life. Failing to escape, the gang leader is coerced into joining the Game Development Club.

As he settles in, Kenji gets to know the four girls responsible for his provisional membership—student council president and general tyrant Chitose Karasuyama, spirited tomboy Sakura Mizukami, negligent club advisor Minami Oosawa, and the school's infamous shadow leader Roka Shibasaki. Throughout the Game Development Club's constant shenanigans and his desperate attempts to leave the club, Kenji begins to realize that he may be actually enjoying himself.

Sometimes you just need an anime that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and D-Frag! fits that mood perfectly. I honestly still don’t get why the author decided to name it D-Frag! though. It’s not exactly a title that sticks in your head or gives you any idea of what to expect, but hey, the show itself is definitely worth a shot.

The story is straightforward, but it works—our main guy, Kenji, starts off as this delinquent type but somehow gets dragged into the Game Development Club by a group of quirky girls. The way he reluctantly goes along with their antics while forming actual friendships is ... both funny and surprisingly wholesome. Kenji’s personality is super relatable, especially with his sarcastic reactions to all the chaos around him.

The humor is the real highlight here. It’s full of random, over-the-top moments that had me laughing out loud more times than I expected. There are a lot of classic high school anime tropes, but they’re done in a way that doesn’t feel stale. It reminded me of shows like Aho Girl or Daily Lives of High School Boys, where the comedy is just pure, silly fun.

Now, let’s clear something up—this is not a harem anime. A lot of people slap that label on it, but honestly, the romantic stuff is minimal. The only real hint of romance is with Takao, who has this adorable, shy crush on Kenji. She’s probably my favorite character because her blushing moments are just too cute.

That said, the jokes don’t always land. There were a few times when I felt the comedy had more potential but just missed the mark, which is why I’m giving it a 7 instead of something higher. Still, it’s a solid watch if you’re in the mood for something light and fun.

If you’ve seen shows like Setokai Yakuindomo or Aho Girl, you’ll feel right at home with D-Frag! It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s a great choice for when you just want to sit back, laugh, and enjoy some silly, over-the-top antics. Definitely worth checking out if you’re into comedy-heavy anime!

Mixed Feelings

This anime knew what it was and stuck to it all the way to the end, even if it didn’t work all the time. Despite how cute the chibi Roka is, this show struggled at its most dramatic, namely a two parter in the middle of the season and the three part season finale, which this show didn’t really need to have because this show was actually funny during the four panel episodes. As entertaining as a lot of these character dynamics were, I think the worst part of it all was trying to force “romantic competition” for Kenji in the form of a masochist ... who can’t take no for an answer. At the end of the day, it is probably better that this was only one season 11 years ago, because a second season wouldn’t fix any of the problems.

spoilers:
My reviews almost never has spoilers but I always get in trouble for it. So I am just going to say what this anime feels to me, how I enjoy it, how the characters are and how it could haven been improve without spoilers Ill try not to.

This anime feels like your typical harem anime there is no tag but this is a harem. The girls fall in love with the male MC which seem to be on sight. To give credit to the anime it does say the MC is good looking(i don't know if he is ... it's a drawing), so the girls might like him for that shallow reason which makes more sense than other harem. If you seen Gamers!, Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo, Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta and Ben-To you seen this before they do nothing new they reused old jokes you heard in other anime, the same boob grab, boob joke, girl getting nose bleed over a guy in a dress it been done some have done it better.

My enjoyment of this anime was up then down. The first 1-4 episodes, felt like a tired old harem but they had new jokes made me laugh. Then they started building up the romance/harem in the latter episodes if you can tell this anime has no romance or harem tag because they can't do that right, then it turns to a lame fighting anime that is why i compare it Ben-To. So I stop enjoy it and started hating it.

The characters did not make it any better, the tired old oblivious male MC made me mad not because he is oblivious because he is the character that SHOUT OUT the peculiarity of the situation they get in. Nothing is more queer than him being oblivious to all the girls liking him and all the other guys getting punch, kick, spit on and be emasculated. He does a lot of shouting I guess the author ran out of jokes thought that would be funny, it wasn't but if he was more like Bakugou that make would him better and funnier. The girls character are generic, they like the mc, there is a short girl, tall girl, girl with big boobs and people want to grab her boobs. In the first episode he has two male delinquent friends which I wish the stay around because then it would add a new element to the story(speaking of Kono Oto Tomare! better anime the delinquent friends also join the koto club).

How could it be better in my opinion, have the other delinquents join the club too. It's rarely been done "Kono Oto Tomare!" did it and they have a higher rating, can't name another anime that did it too, people want to see something new. Have the MC not be oblivious or be like Bokugo and wants to fight everyone even the girls and girls would still like him would be alarming but funny(someone will steal my idea). Or at least have a clear direction to where you wanted to go and what this show was going to be. If it was going to be a love story be one or was it going to be a harem go full out and be one. This anime has a game and school tag but no way this is a game anime the games are in the background and they do more fist fight than play a games(reason i compare this to Ben-to), there is a school in the anime but no way it is a anime about school life. Thank you for reading it's ok if you want to leave a nasty reply in my profile if you disagree. LOL
