**THIS IS MY 2ND REVIEW ON ANIME. I WILL MAKE A LOT OF MISTAKES.**
**I HAVE DELETED AND REWROTE MY PRELIM REVIEW SINCE I HAVE FINISHED THE SHOW ALREADY**
I really don't get the high rating for this anime, I really don't... Well, maybe I do because it was made by CloverWorks. When I saw that the show was made by CloverWorks, I was fascinated, to say the least. They have come back to create another anime, Sono Bisque Doll, ever since the disaster of WEP Special. And this time, it is a romcom. Don't get me wrong. I love romcoms, if they're funny and make me
...
feel comfortable, but Sono Bisque Doll is pretty interesting. I do understand that it has the ecchi tag, but there are some things that I don't feel comfortable with.
The first thing I notice is the story. Basically, it is about some kid who we learn his name is Gojo. He likes to sew and create aesthetics for dolls, which is cool. He then gets discouraged by some sexist girl who says that boys aren't supposed to be interested in creating dolls. This shit absolutely mind-boggles and leaves Gojo with PTSD for the rest of his life. He has no friends and is basically a loner, as we learn from his breakfast with his grandpa. He then goes to school and meets Kitagawa, a very pretty girl who is into otaku culture and likes hentai games. Kitagawa notices Gojo creating a doll after school, and asks him to create cosplay for her as she strips in front of him. They somehow become friends because of this.
The story itself is pretty bland, nothing that interesting. It decision of how trauma is displayed is pretty poor and cringe. The art is pretty good, considering its CloverWorks, look at their other works. The characters. What can I say about them? Well, they are pretty bad. I don't see any problems with Gojo, except that he can sometimes act like a Naoto from Nagatoro. And Marin... she's just the 3rd waifu bait that CloverWorks has had in their animes besides Mai from BGS and 02 from DITF. Not only that, but her personality is very annoying. I do understand she does have that optimistic personality, but I just don't like it. Juju is an alright character. She just likes to cosplay. Nothing else to say about her. Her sister tho... is pretty unrealistic as she has a huge rack for a middle schooler. She is also a dandere and lil clumsy, but her character doesn't really bother me at all. That's all I need to say about the characters.
As I ventured through the episodes of the show, I just felt very weirded out. I was confused about how Marin was falling for Gojo. I don't get what's so interesting about him, but its a romcom, so they need romance somehow~
So yeah, that's it. See you on the flip side.
