Honestly, I always thought Dino was the weakest character since I consider hin the most one note...and his jerky moments can be annoying, too.
Unfortunately, he gets a lot of spotlight in some epiosdes, kinda overshadowing the fact that this is supposed to be Maika's story. Either way, still a fine little show. Hideri really is the star in this one, and I don't think it's an issue with him being a crossdresser since I think they treat this sort of thing well here, especially in a comedy. A-1 actually had a nice streak of crossdressing characters with Hideri and Astolfo, so...nice on them. Shame they then have to go back to the rape-obsessed SAO and force themselves to not even change a bit of it. |

I feel that not having a dub is a missed opportunity for a show so popular - albeit for the wrong reason.

I thought Blend-S was a fun show. It was nothing amazing but it was certainly enjoyable to watch. I liked it because it made a nice change of pace from the other shows I was watching at the time. Plus, I really like Maika's character design, and I grok the premise of her character too. Often times I come across as being angry at someone or something when that couldn't be farther from the truth. That said, your quote makes me think I'm missing something! I didn't recall much hype about Blend-S, though maybe ignorance is bliss in this case? |

I can never forget the memes people made from the OP. Even now it still makes me laugh

Those were some of the best parts of the show! OK, to be fair... as a comedy, it mostly worked. Where it kept going off the rails was in repeatedly trying (and failing) to have some form of plot/plot progression. |

I tried liking the show, but I just couldn’t stick with it as they kept ramping up the Dino and Maika interactions, which honestly just creeped me the hell out.
Also I felt like they blew their biggest comedic load early when they had Maika tap into her full dominatrix mode shockingly early. |

US version: $100 Bonus: See above. Personally those US physical bonus materials are not that bad. There are tons of bare-bone anime BD have dubs, but no significant physical bonus other than sleeve case. Even licensed shows are going slowly toward collector's market. Dub or physical bonus? it's up to eyes (or ears) of beholder. That is pretty cheap considering Japanese single BD volumes cost four times than US version. Few years fast forward, it'll go out of print and some joe is going to put it on auction as collector's item. It all comes down to supply & demand. Print only handful and sell them at high price while demand is hot. Japanese version: 7000 yen X 6 volumes = 42000 yen (Roughly $400) Bonus materials: -Sleeve case with exclusive cover art for each volume -12 page booklet for each volume (estimated 72 pages total) -Audio CD for each volume covering (OST, audio drama, and character songs) -Audio Commentaries -Chipboard Storage Box -Music video -No subtitle |

This show doesn't have much substance, but it sure as heck is funny. I'm six episodes in at this point.

By “wrong reason”, I meant the show was most famous for the memes surrounding the show’s OP and not the show itself (I haven’t seen it). |

So? What's wrong with that? Hideri's still awesome. Just deal with it. He constantly added some of the funniest jokes in this anime. |

Blend S was pretty good. I probably would have added to my list, until Aniplex got it.
Good series, but not $100 good for 12 episodes. |

I thought it was one of the better CGDCT shows.
Mostly due to the fact, it doesn't do that "yuri bait" BS that pretty much all these kinds of show do. |
