My Dress-Up Darling
A light, fun anime — 20 minutes an episode, perfect to watch over a meal. But underneath: no one's passion should ever be labeled.

A quick intro
A light, fun anime — an episode is only twenty minutes, perfect to watch over a meal.
Two leads with totally opposite personalities gradually grow close because each has a hobby the public misunderstands. Thanks to the heroine's carefree personality, the stiff male lead often "petrifies," and his inner monologue is hilarious, haha. If you want the occasional laugh, I recommend it 👍👍
Only after looking it up did I learn that anime with lots of racy shots like this is called niku-ban ("fan-service", basically "selling flesh").
Pure fan-service? Or a message?
This anime does have a lot of fan-service — enough to make you a bit shy — but I think it also brings out both leads' commitment to their own interests, and how they actually take action to dig deeper and put it into practice. It's not just fan-service!
Through the heroine Marin, it tells the underconfident male lead Gojo — and the audience — the idea that "you have to say your own thoughts out loud!" But the ending didn't really make me feel the male lead changed much? Maybe it just conveys the concept?
No one's dream should be labeled
Boys = blue, girls = pink? Even in today's advanced society, gender stereotypes are still planted deep in most people's minds. Consciously or unconsciously, we all more or less project "how men and women are supposed to be" onto people — but that's so unfair. Everyone's interests and biological sex were never bound by a fixed formula, so respecting each person's passions is, I'd say, an important lesson of being human. I hope I too can thoroughly root out this deep-seated, scary notion. (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)
Anime fans, cosplay = antisocial, lost in the online world? By Toshio Okada's definition, an otaku is a fan devoted to something to the point of mastery. I'm not an anime fan, but I've noticed that even now, with anime culture gone mainstream, some people still think liking anime means having no friends, the never-leave-the-house type — even presuming they wouldn't click with such a person. It's really not true ==. Loving 2D virtual characters and loving 3D K-pop idols are exactly the same thing; there's no "nobler than thou" between them.
The slow-burn romance is maddening
I have to say Gojo is honest to the point of being unrealistic, haha. He's already done so many line-crossing things — how are they still not together?! Articles point out the manga is still only at the stage of Marin constantly doing things to raise Gojo's affection, but with her direct, carefree personality she really should just swing for it 🤣🤣. Then again, maybe it's precisely because she likes him that she's being so careful! 🥰
戀上變裝娃娃
一部輕鬆有趣、一集只有二十分鐘、很適合配飯看的動漫，但底下藏著：任何人的夢想都不該被貼上標籤。

小小簡介
是一部輕鬆有趣的動漫，一集也只有二十分鐘，很適合配飯看。
兩個個性截然不同的主角，因為各自有著被大眾誤解的愛好而逐漸走近，因為女主角大剌剌的個性，造成木訥的男主角時常「石化」，在心裡的os 也都十分搞笑XD 想要偶爾笑笑蠻推的👍👍
上網查了資料才發現，這種很多露骨畫面的動漫叫「肉番」（應該就是賣肉的意思）。
完全的肉番？理念？
這部動漫的確很多賣肉的畫面，多到讓人有點害羞哈茲咖係的地步，但我覺得，它也帶到了男女主角對自己興趣的堅持，而且會付諸行動去深入了解、實行，並不是只有賣肉而已啦！
藉由女主角海夢告訴沒有自信的男主五條以及觀眾：「自己的想法要自己說出來才行哦！」這個理念，但最後的劇情，好像沒有讓我感覺到男主角有什麼改變？應該就只是傳達這個概念而已？
任何人的夢想都不該被貼上標籤
男生=藍色，女生=粉紅色？ 即使現在是如此先進的社會，男女的刻板印象卻還是深植在大部分人的心中。不論是有意識的，還是無意識的，我們或多或少都會不自覺的把男女「應該要有的樣子」帶入到人的身上，但這是十分不公平的啊，每個人的興趣跟生理性別，本來就沒有一個既定的公式可以套用，所以尊重每個人的愛好，說是身為人重要的課題也不為過吧！希望我也能徹底消除這個根深蒂固的可怕觀念。(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)
動漫迷、cosplay=不善交際、沈迷網路世界？ 根據日本岡田斗司夫對於阿宅的定義，他認為阿宅是一種專注於某種事物，到達專精的粉絲。雖然我不是動漫迷，但我發現，就算在動漫文化已變成主流的現在，還是會有一部分的人認為，喜歡動漫就是沒朋友啊，足不出戶的類型，甚至先入為主的認為那種喜歡動漫的人一定跟他聊不來，其實根本不是==。喜歡二次元的虛擬人物跟喜歡三次元的韓星韓團完全是一樣的道理，完全沒有誰比誰高貴之分。
劇情緩慢推進讓人心癢癢
但不得不說五條真的老實到不太真實XD 都已經做了那麼多越線的事怎麼還沒有在一起啦！看文章指出，漫畫裡也還只是描寫海夢不斷地在做各種事情增加五條對他的好感的階段，但以海夢直接又大剌剌的個性應該要直球出擊才對吧🤣🤣 但或許也是因為喜歡才小心翼翼啦！🥰
