Dorei-ku The Animation Episode 2 Discussion

They ruined it by changing the "fake result" of the game. In the manga it was better... Ayaka was like


That plot twist made it livelier.

I also liked more Eiya's expression in the manga. I was expecting something similarly good, but ended up in disappointment there.



I don't really know what to think, I like the manga and if it's a good adaptation I'll like the anime, but this episode felt like they removed just the good parts of the manga leaving everything else...

I might get some disagreement, but really Seiya did nothing wrong. Did he screw Ayaka over and play with her emotions and take her money? Yea sure...but that's his fucking job. He works as a host. It's literally his job to pretend to listen to you and make you fawn over him so you'll give him lots of money. It's like me giving a big tip to an Applebee's waitress and being pissed she doesnt fuck me later.

I'm going to guess that whore Julia is wearing an SCM too since Seiya bet on it. But what happens when he inevitably lets go? He was forbidden from taking bets, so does he get punished for doing it? Julia is a slave, but can a slave own a slave? Or does her win equal a win for her master?

poor Sieya , he becomes a bitch to that eye patch loli,Ayaka Toshima, so Sieya is a male host or to put it simply a man whore. OOOOOHOHOHOHOOOOO shit we didn't get to see Ayaka's fanservice and Seiya giving her a licking down her was boring. I wonder how can Ayaka afford a man whore like Seiya in the first place if she is working a couple of part-time jobs???????

This, but also how come he can even enter into a bet?
Isn't that supposed to be a 100 percent iron clad rule, that you cannot disobey what your master has told you. If participants can just disobey as they please, there's really no point.

Also, is do bets where there's only one winner even count as a bet? Wouldn't they have to agree that if she lets go first, that she looses.

I was intrigued by the idea, but characters lack depth and I don't do well with breaking game rules without getting explained why that's an exception, but maybe that's a part of a different episode?

This show could be interesting, but if it doesn't stick to it's own rules as such an early point, it could be pretty bad too.

'You know I worked multiple works for you,Seiya'
*pulls up skirt*
'I command you-eat me out.'
'She's worked real hard for you.'
*pulls skirt up even more*
'Give her the praise she deserves.'
From what I understood she was selling her body so that she can afford Seiya's company.Basically she was selling her body in real world so that she can keep on living in a 'dream' with Seiya.I take it as he was her escape from reality.Though they did not say if she was selling her body before she met Seiya,or only started after so that she can keep her 'dream' alive.

About episode itself,I found it enjoyable.
I don't think either Seiya nor Ayaka are complete trash,but both of them do have their faults.
What makes me dislike Seiya is that he wanted to use SCM on Ayaka so that she would keep giving him money because he did not want to do his job properly and treat her like someone special(which hosts are supposed to do,as long as they are working that job and in their workplace).Everything would have been as it has up until now if only he did not try to trick her.
Personally,I feel like the only one he wanted to treat like someone special is his girlfriend,Julia but even then what he tried to do is not right.He is a host,his job is to create dreams/illusions for costumers by treating them as if they are special to him.If he disliked it that much he could have quit but then again he is a #1 host,letting go of all the money he could earn is not easy.He wanted everything but ended up losing most of things he had before instead without gaining anything.

Even though Seiya and Ayaka were exaggerated, since this is anime and all, their customer-Host relationship was believable. Host clubs are seedy and manipulative. I remember watching an intriguing documentary called "The Great Happiness Space" on Netflix. It's all about the dark side of Host clubs. The hosts get paid good money to emotionally manipulate and fawn all over their customers. And yeah, some of them feel terrible about it, but top hosts make a shitload of money. So, they're obviously going to keep doing it. To their own detriment sometimes, as they get alcohol poisoning from drinking an unhealthy amount of champagne a night, and they sometimes can get obsessive customers(like Ayaka here). Host clubs can attract very lonely women, and they develop unhealthy relationships with their favorite host; they actually think their host has true feelings for them, and they obsessively fall in love with their host and waste their money. It's all kind of sad, honestly. And hostess clubs aren't much different probably, even if it's the reverse.

So, hey, props to this anime for showing the dark side of host clubs. It's not all fun and games like anime always makes it out to be.

This anime almost seems like NTR: The animation..

I bet this Julia is wearing an SCM right now, the whole "if you let go of my hand you lose"

This poor guy is just going to be a slave passed around forever huh?
