I have a question.

I dropped season 2 on first ep because i didnt like the humor format where the characters seem to be doing stand up comedy for the entire episode.

But i really like Marin as a character.

Does the style of episodes change after first ep or it stay the same?

Will there be more serious or romantic scenes or its still endless unfunny stand up comedy?
@x_scolopendra_x

It's hard to answer because I don't understand your complain in the first place, what do you mean by "Stand up comedy for the entire episode" ? MDUD/Sono bisque is a Romantic COMEDY so of course you'll see ton of comedy especially with the two main characters dynamic and their personality being so different, the comedy really isn't that much different from season 1; they just tried ton of new ideas to make the anime "more fun" according to the director.

The vibe of Episode 1 is always there, MDUD is done by the Bocchi the rock team at Cloverworks, it's the same production team so you'll find some fun comedy here and there but this season is mostly focused on Gojo's development and Marin as always still gets a lot of spotlight, I suggest you at least try to watch this season because for example , the episode talked about here in this thread has a very serious focus about Marin in its second half.

For more "serious" scenes you'll get them if a season 3 happen, last arc of this Manga is literally the only serious one with a lot of tension lol.

Thanks for the answer, i understand that its a romantic comedy, but i didnt like the comedy format here itself, its just not my thing.

But i think i will give this anime another chance.

Honestly? I think this one is another case of "the anime is better then the manga". For real, the manga was frustrating as hell with all the waiting between chapters and the dragging out of the climax but this feels bearable even though the conflict is dragged out needlessly as well.

Lmao what a trash episode.

The studio not having the balls to adapt the chapter faithfully and showing marin's tits.

1/5 if I could give it 0 stars I would.

@AcceleratorAngel I mean... it was to be expected since the same was done in the first season.

Marin without her usual make-up looks as cute as with it.

Wow, this game turned out to be a really dark and grim.

Poor Marin. Not only she misunderstood Gojo, but she also couldn't muster enough mental strength to confess to him. Well, perhaps by this season's end something like this will happen. After all, she mentioned doing it once they are done with the Coffin-theme group cosplay.

@Thoguht They would NEVER change the ending , the director of the anime said multiple times that he doesn't want to disrespect the original material.



If you meant that they will maybe expand it or give more scenes to the ending maybe but no way they change it.

Then how do you explain the title of next week's episode? I mean, I'll be really glad if they don't do it, but there just isn't enough material for another season and I can't really see them making the rest of the manga as a movie.

@Thoguht Final episode of season 1 was also named "My Dress-Up Darling" so I doubt it means much, and yes I know it's also named like that in Japanese but it makes no sense to give this anime an anime original ending when they've been EXTREMELY faithful to the source material the whole time, the only thing they really did after 24 EPs and more than 80 chapters adapted was cut some minor characters (at the time) in season 1 (Usami and Marin's father) because a sequel wasn't planned and hiring/paying voice actors for them to do one or two lines wasn't worth.

We'll see next week of course but I highly doubt they'll give this anime an original ending out of nowhere after being so adamant on being faithful to the source material and I also can't see them showing the final cosplay next week and not do a sequel even if it's planned in 3+ years from now , that would be the biggest middle finger ever to their fans.

Gojo isn't a pervert, he's an innocent dude~ Meanwhile Marin is fully ready to lost her virginity.... And end up in a disappointment.
The previous episode didn't really translate that brown box that Marin look into... looks like it just a drink...
2 more episode left, I don't think the confession is going to be in this season isn't? Or maybe... the last episode... Or maybe she's going to postpone it again... Wonder~~

@SirHerbert124 I REALLY hope they don't make a movie because final arc has too many cliffhangers with a lot of tension and it wouldn't work as much in a movie , I'm really scared because it would obviously make them so much money if they do this so it could very much happen.

But to be more serious, there will be around 30 chapters left by the end of season 2 (maybe more) , season 1 covered 39 so they can make it work somehow if they slow down the pacing , I don't know where the "there's not enough material for another season" comes from , don't take the people saying that seriously , ESPECIALLY since last arc of the Manga has longer chapters than usual since it went on breaks and hiatus all the time, also , an anime season doesn't always need to be 12 EPs anyway it could be like 6-8-10 and still be good, look at Takopi.

This! Amazing take

Is there a irl version of that Nun horror game? I kinda wanna play it now.

Also poor Marin with her missunderstanding and then her overthinking what if Gojo just thinks of them as friends rejecting her. At least though in the end she has resolved herself to confess after the photo shoot. Go Marin you can do it!

DAMN, COFFIN WAS EVEN DARKER THAN I COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED.

YOU’RE TELLING ME THIS ENTIRE GAME, THE STORY OF THE NUNS WAS JUST MIRA IMAGINGING A FAMILY AFTER HER FATHER SEXUALLY ABUSED HER THROUGHOUT HER LIFE AND AS YOU PROGRESS, THE STORY BREAKS ITSELF AS MIRA EATS HER “SISTERS” AND THEY BECOME ONE WITH HER?!

MY GOD, SUCH AN AMAZING GAME PLOT WITHIN AN ANIME, THAT’S JUST CRAZY!

I’m glad that Marin understood that Wakana had no intentions on engaging in sexual activities with her, and I’m shocked that she believed Wakana would be the type to do so in the first place. Also we see in a flashback that Marin has black hair, so I’m guessing black is her natural color and she has her hair died now.

I had a feeling that Marin wasn’t gonna confess in this episode, and it seems this season will end with Marin confessing her feelings to Wakana. We got a hint in the beginning of this season (and the first season) that Wakana may feel the same way about her, so I’m sure he won’t openly reject her, like he imagined her to do.

THE MAPLESTAR COLLAB FELL THROUGH! NOOOOO!

Regardless, the bait-and-switch was to be expected (and a little forced), but turning things into a cute story about Marin's dad was a nice.

The horror game section was great. I already liked the art style before, but seeing the horror elements come in was cool to see.

"I told you! Happiness doesn't last forever!" Ok, I really forgot Juju's deal. Either the shoot's not going to go well, or this is a pessimistic mindset settling in something fierce. Although, I'm sure Shinju would be able to help her sister through it.

Oh Marin. This potential confession will not go well, but hey! Points for resolve. Who knows? I could be surprised.

Marin!!! She's so cute! So precious. When she was crying because her Imagination!Gojo's reply felt too real T_T That short conversation with Nowa and Kensei being rejected while not there was hilarious. Meanwhile Gojo is so so thoughtful. To even buy ingredients that will help her diet over a passing comment. Thinking it was nice to hear Marin's family stories. Marin will fall more in love like this w

I think I have to re-read the manga because I think more text on the horror game is added in the anime? I played similar games before (off the top of my head, I can recommend End Roll, Dreaming Mary, Wadanohara and Doki Doki Literature Club haha), but I tried looking up more before when I got to this chapter. Ahh I miss playing games like this. I want to pick some up again. I really appreciate Dress Up Darling for the in-universe anime/games they introduce to us. And the love and careful thought is shown in how the production adapted it, it's very high quality that I'd actually love to watch/play them. I love how Gojo gets into what gets recommended to him too. It is a bit difficult this time though, as someone who loves his family a lot ^^;;

My favorite thing about this episode is that while Marin is literally going crazy (first thinking about having sex with Gojou, then struggling with the confessio) Gojou is literally chilling, playing games and cooking fish.

Although Gojou also struggled in this episode while playing game (btw the game is great, has some DDLC vibes, i would like to play it irl). Also its cool that they showed selfharm in anime, i thought they would censor it.
This is the first time i seen someone so impressed about game that when Marin asked Gojou about breakfast he run to vomit.

Btw Marin is so cute after a shower, so thats what she looks like at home.

And another scary fact: Marin had dark hair as a child!
So her hair is dyed? I thought that was her natural color i mean its an anime so why not)

Marin is clearly in love with Gojou, but its really unclear how he feels about her, since his thoughts arent shown.
I think he would agree to date her, but honestly that story of him starting to ignore her is actually very realistic.

P.S. The hoodie is FIRE.

Good thing I didn't support the series during season 2.
Im also refraining from buying merch.

During season 1 I bought a bunch of marin figurines, yup they can go to hell for submitting to the tourist audience.

Cn and south korea rule the gacha scene not long before they will also dominate the anime market.
While jp submits to the woke crowd and loses their identity.

Some random thoughts:




Just like the last episode, I enjoyed getting into Marin's head. But just like last episode, it was a bit strange to see her like this. The normally energetic girl, who is bold and easily makes decisions, became a pile of mush lol. One moment she's excited getting ready, then pushing back when Gojo was close to her her, to then falling asleep. Flash forward and finally she was disappointed it DIDN'T happen. Her thoughts and feelings were all over the place. Honestly, given she has no idea where Gojo's mind is at, it makes sense. And I did find the whole scenario amusing because it was such a tonal shift in her character. That crying scene, you feel so bad for her!

I thought for sure Nowa was going to catch on that Marin was talking about Gojo and tell her how crazy she was. But unfortunately that didn't happen. Glad Marin came to the conclusion she should say something regardless. I hope there's some development soon!

Great episode.

Marin misunderstands things when Gojo stays the night to play the horror game 'Coffin'. Gojo is feeling nauseated after finishing the game.

Marin finally realizes that she likes Gojo and wishes they be going out. She wonders what will be his reaction when she said she likes him.

Either Marin’s love for Gojo is blinding her, or she doesn’t know him as well as she should by now after spending so much time together, you’d think she’d be able to tell what he’s thinking and how he’d react. Still, we can brush it off as just a bunch of teens trying to figure themselves out.
As for Gojo, he’s clearly developed feelings for Marin, but she’s just too bright for him, and he can’t imagine actually dating her. The only way that’s ever gonna happen is if Marin’s the one to confess first and that’s the only way.

It was nice to watch an episode that primarily focused on the 2 MCs rather than side characters, reminded me more of S1 which I've liked better up to this point.

Regarding Marin's misunderstanding, I knew she would end up disappointed because even if she was nervous she still wanted Gojo to make a move and she even wore special lingerie. While I'm hoping for a confession I won't hold my breath, besides Marin needs to prepare for the upcoming cosplay event then she can (hopefully) make her move.

Great. Kitagawa already and finally realized that Gojo would have never decided to go from 0 to 100 without all those steps in between thar are all probably still too scary for him. And... Wow, that game was frightening, and watching her surrounded by random guys made me feel afraid of kidnapping against her. Hopefully it won't have further consequences next time. Finally, at the very beginning i was convinced both of Kitagawa's parents were passed... Glad that at least one was seen as alive, instead. Small Kitagawa was adorable even before dyed hair too.
