Introduction
Destiny or delusion? It's a hilarious rollercoaster of laughter and confusion when Taishi, the ultimate otaku, drags his friend Kazuki into the swirling world of ambition, hatred, and love—the world of fan comics! Poor clueless Kazuki must sink or swim when he's dumped straight into the middle of a massive comic convention. Lost amidst hoards of buyers, sellers, and cosplayers, Kazuki is about to be baptized by fire, all in order to lead him toward his true calling: to take over the world through fan comics!
Meanwhile, Kazuki's childhood friend Mizuki isn't about to let him be dragged from his normal life without a fight! But will she be able to stop the addictive draw of the new world that lies before Kazuki? Little by little, Kazuki is slipping down the path towards destiny—and Taishi is shoving him every step of the way!

This is my 2nd anime of my marathon of bad animes between 2000-2010 for destroys picture that "Past is better" (I'm french I don't know if this is the perfect manner to say this). Miami guns surprised me because it was fun, but Comic Party is all I research in this marathon : a bad anime.
First, it's visually very very bad. There is no animation, no direction, dialogues are very strange and look like sonic adventure 1 cinematics.
Chracters are not interresting, Taishi steals all the show but I don't like the rest of the cast because they are very no personnality.
Story is just basic with a message on the passion power and basta. I only remember the 9th ep where the prota reacts as fuck with her girlfriend, but even romance is frustrating.

Comic Party delves into a specific subset of otaku culture: the doujinshi, and how a burgeoning artist learns the ropes in this subculture. Premiering in the early 2000's, this show also acts as a time capsule of sorts, showing how dojinshi mangas were distributed (mostly) pre-internet. Moreover: this is a coming-of-age story, as we see how this newfound hobby intersects with the big decisions multiple characters need to make in deciding their futures after high school, and for their lives moving forward.
...Unfortunately, this show kinda sucks.
While the premise is somewhat intriguing, I really just didn't care very much about the characters. None of them I found particularly unique or interesting, and several were (even at the time this came out) barely more than cardboard-cutout tropes…

I wanted to like Comic Party. The apparent premise of this show - an amateur artist tries to make his own comic book - is interesting on paper. But in practice, we don't really get that.
Despite ostensibly being about the life of a manga author, very little about this series has anything to do with the creative process of making comics. Kazuki's job as an artist is mere background trivia in an otherwise fairly mundane slice-of-life series. Hell, we don't even really SEE his comic aside from a few brief glances at it. We have no real idea who the characters are in it or what it's about.
To me, that's the most frustrating aspect of this series: It skims the surface of manga artistry but doesn't look any deeper than that. We get a host of funny enough side characters (Taishi is my favorite…

i feel this needed atleast one negative review from a person who just plain did not enjoy this anime
art
i found the art to be the best part of this anime i can atleast say it is eye catching but the actual animation is average
sound
as for the sound i watched subbed and i found some characters Ooba, Eimi and Inagawa, Yuu were plain annoying but outside of that the other voices were not really notable the i do feel the characters with annoying voices were not bad enough were it ruined the anime just bad enough to make me like the characters less
story
ok the structure of the anime is weird the first thing i feel is important to mention this season is really purely a slice of life really the anime only a few times tried to make a joke which to me were not funny but for the most part it…

While based on a harem video game this is NOT a harem anime!
This anime is for anyone who is interested in seeing otaku culture in Japan, specifically centered around the doujinshi scene.
At first it seems like a typical low-budget gag anime from the early 2000s , it's actually a serious take on the journey of a doujinshi (fan comic) artist. The anime acts as a guide of do's and don'ts to making doujin and it's super informative. If you like informational anime that deep-dive into unique topics this is a must-watch.
Plot overview:
The anime starts with the characters in their senior year of high school and thinking of life after high school. Our main protagonist, Kazuki, is someone who has never thought much about what to do career wise and also has no specific interests but, has some t…

Comic Party is good. I came to appreciate Comic Party's simplicity and straightforward story right after I finished the embarrassment that was Star Driver. That anime has absolutely nothing to do with this review, so ignore that. It felt refreshing. This anime sorta reminds me of Otaku no Video. A guy is thrown into Otaku culture, specifically manga creation, by his over-the-top friend. He knows nothing about that culture but slowly falls in love with it. His love for making manga is even destroying the relationship with his girlfriend. They're best friends, but they act like boyfriend and girlfriend. Everything I've said so far is pretty much the show. His relationships with people who are more familiar to this kind of stuff and how the main character, Kazuki Sendou grows and changes as a…

Well, this is a show for the Otaku, the nerds of anime. When I first watched it, I was a newbie but now that I have watched a couple more animes, I actually get most of the references now. This show is what separates the large fans from the casual watchers. This was created based on a visual novel and video game (much to my surprise) and yet luckily, it isn’t fully following the date style game. I actually noticed that the show was more based on the love of creating anime and manga rather then what girl he would end up with. Unfortunately, almost all the characters are girls and may send the wrong idea about anime fans. It is pretty equal parts men and women.
Now before I talk about anything else, I do have a bone to pick with the English dub. I really wish they would have used Japanese…

When you talk about otaku or doujinshi in anime, most people will automatically think of Genshiken, Doujin Work, NHK ni Youkoso!, Lucky ☆ Star, or even Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu. It's a sad fact that the show that effectively spawned a whole genre is often overlooked in favour of the "new and shiny" anime that came after.
That anime is Comic Party.
Originally released for the PC in 1999, the game gained a degree of fame because of the adult content and the fact that it was inspired by the Comiket event held in Japan during the Summer and Winter. The real phenomenon however, came when the game was re-released (without the adult content), for the Sega Dreamcast.
Most fans nowadays won't realise this, but the Dreamcast was once considered an essential item within the otaku community (on…

Comic Party. If you've watched Doujin Work before, then this is pretty much the same premise. Basically, it's about a group of friends/acquaintances and their journey through drawing, printing and selling of their very own doujinshi (parodies of others' works or original comics).
The story is simple and fun to watch. It's basically a slice of life with minimal plot twists. Kazuki is introduced into the doujinshi community and the show depicts his growth. It does really well in that aspect, but don't go in expecting anything too complex or outrageous. It does provide some insight on how events work in Japan though.
The art style isn't anything too special, but it isn't bad either. It remains constant throughout the series. Since there aren't much action scenes, don't expect the art too be…
