Synopsis

New York Police Department partners Dee Laytner and Randy "Ryo" Maclean are on a vacation in the English countryside—which Dee has sneakily set up as an opportunity to seduce Ryo. As romantic tensions steadily build, Ryo spots a dead body floating in an otherwise tranquil lake. With their intimate holiday suddenly interrupted, the pair must decide what they think is more important: solving a case or each other.

Having watched this on a whim with no knowledge of the manga it was based off, I found it really fun and intentionally or otherwise really comedic.
The english dub was a blast to watch through, with it being kind of shitty but at some points feeling like there was heart and effort into the voice acting. All of the characters have pretty good chemistry with eachother, I especially liked Dee and the kids banter. I think the white hair guy was kind of a weird add considering he didn't add much to the story but I don't know anything about the manga he could ...

Mixed Feelings
FAKE is kind of an anomaly in that it's hard to recommend it, but hard NOT to recommend it.

It's entertaining in that cutesy 90s slapstick, romcom, fast-paced-banter sort-of way, where all the main cast are all familiar with each other and have their own intertwining circles of harem. If the dynamics of Kimagure Orange Road (or Ranma 1/2) turned gay and given a crime-mystery feel to it, you'd have FAKE. (And maybe that's an oversimplification but the bill should fit somewhat.)

With how they rapidly introduce the main cast, it feels like you're being dropped in the middle of a series, with only enough detail ...

First off, I'm going to keep this review short as I don't want to waste too much time. Second off, don't get butt hurt just because I don't like it.

As a heterosexual male, obviously this isn't something I would be open to watching or enjoying. So, I went into watching this with a pessimistic approach. Overall, I rated it a 4 (Decent), which it wasn't. It was utter garbage, but rating it a 1 is too much imo.

Story:
2 Cops solving a case, but the case keeps on getting interrupted with sudden ass pumping. To be fair the story had its mystery and not a half ...
