Look at how they did my boy!
Katsura is undoubtedly my favorite Mangaka, but he is unfortunately cursed by the anime gods, probably as a way to balance out his inhumane capacity of pumping out monthly release Manga art quality on a weekly basis. As such, every single anime that has been produced based off his work falls incredibly short of capturing the magic of the source material properly. And DNA² might just be the most egregious example.
While this particular Manga is no masterpiece when it comes to the story and its development, Katsura's ability to convey complex emotion through his art is unparalleled in the Manga world. He'll draw a panel that you could frame and look at for the rest of your life. It doesn't stop there though - he has a great sense of movement and action and und…

The story is cool but full of inconsistencies and holes. That would be alright but it's not funny either so it just ends up being boring most of the time. The only reason to watch is for nostalgic purposes.
I watched the dubbed version. The main character was decent and even sounded as though he enjoyed his job at certain points. The same can't be said for any of the other characters who sounded like random pedestrians taken off the street before they had their morning coffee and were offered 5 dollars to read lines off a paper. Especially Tomoko, what the heck.

The entire experience is a complete waste of time. 13 episodes done, and I feel as if I've gotten no further in life. Absolutely nothing is achieved by watching this show, not even a slight improvement in your knowledge. All you need to know is that the main concept is that the main character has superpowered genetics that allow him to utilize the "ultra-playboy" powers of seduction and physical strength / intimidation. Basically, the MC can swoon any female in his presence and can intimidate / beat up any man in his sight. He becomes a saiyan-lite practically invincible character, the stakes are always low since you know it's going to be resolved, and the dub does it no favors. Absolutely one of the lowest-effort shows I've seen. If this has somehow made you more interested in the show th…

So im going to give this my honest review, cause i think people for some reason were expecting too much from a show where its synopsis is trying to stop a playboy. Like no shit its suppose to be cheesy.
Story:
As i said before main story is girl from the future goes to the past to stop someone from becoming a playboy and overpopulating the planet. By the way this someone has a bodily reaction towards girls that gets near him in which he throws up. Right here tells me this anime is more for jokes/comedy/harem then an actual serious story. Thats not a reason to call this show bad at all. However there are major issues i have with this show which i give it a fair score. Episodes 1-8 or 9 were fine. Gave me some laughs and you kinda get interested in karin's schemes on how she tries to stop t…

I have seen too little reviews here, so I'll add my two cents about the anime.
To be honest, what made me give this anime a try was its synopsis, I mean, an average guy with some allergy towards girls ends up being a mega playboy due to a bullet from the future and impregnates a lot of women, sounds not as cliche as the shows of today right? I actually didn't know what to expect here, maybe just some rom-com which it's, in fact, something like that.
The show's indeed somewhat cliche after all this anime was from the previous century, but the plot it's fun and odd at the same time. I think this show has a good pace for the most part, but that's the thing 'most', it starts well, three episodes later it fully hooked me but at some point on the 8 or 9 episode the plot devolves instead of g…

*This anime was watched due to the Wheel of Obligation Anime Watching Challenge*
*This will be a review for both DNA² and DNA² OVA (episodes 01-15)*
INTRODUCTION:
DNA², an adaptaton from the manga, is set in our world during the nineties - the current decade when the anime was released. There is nothing unusual in this anime regarding to the setting - that is, besides the fact that a person came from the future to change another one and, possibly, save Earth's future. In that timeline, earth was suffering with overpopulation, which was mainly a single man's fault.
The anime, despite being mainly a comedic, romantic ecchi, features some battle shounen elements. Dragon Ball had been finding tremendous success by then, and a number of animes tried to implement some of its characteristics,…

n the new episode of "A Blast from the Past" we have DNA² which is an anime...And the fact that i have to state it is because most people after watching even a sample vid from this turn into chinese psychopaths and sacrifice their daughters to the gods of Olympus to find salvation. And naturally it was deemed by the EU-which is a big thing in Brussels-as a psychological warfare strike from the land of the rising east and was banned.
No not really..Unfortunately this anime survives to this day so people of younger generations can also experience the terror.
So far this sounds like any of my reviews but this anime is so bad actually it's hillarious.DNA² may be the most ridiculous anime in existence. Wanna listen to the story? There's a DNA hunter named Karin,who was sent from the future to…

Wow I never thought I would find an anime that I would give a 1/10. This was a trash show that I could not finish. Not because it was boring or just did not interest me, but it was just that bad.
Story: the concept was easy to fallow but the reason for why the plot happened was just like why? The idea of an over population of the earth in the future is a real Ecological idea, but how it came to be was just dumb. I only made it to the 4th episode and I gave up. Usually when I quit a show early is due to lack of interest.
Characters:
Junta: Our MC is okay but he is lacking in so many areas and the writers gave him some weird hidden ability to make up for it. I did not hate the guy, actually I think he was the only person I liked.
Karin: A time traveler who gives most of plot. She was an…

DNA^2 as a comedy has aged marvelously. I think this is a show that gets more hilarious with age. But if you decide to take it too seriously I don't think you will get as much out of the show as you could.
Story: Hilarious Premise but gimme moreee
The premise of this show is great. A lady from the future visits our MC in order to prevent the disaster in her timeline where a man with tremendous charisma is so charming that he impregnates countless women and causes a crisis. I love it. The story seemed a bit rushed especially since the show claims to be a harem. With a harem there should be proper attention given to all the chars in the love-triangle/love-decahedron. Especially the ending seemed extremely disorganized and abrupt as if the studio was on a schedule. Unfortunate.
Art: Ehhh…

Time for another nostalgic review! Today we look at a 1994 harem anime with an intriguing plot, but really stupid execution. Unless you are an older fan born before 1993 or so, I will place a wager you haven't heard of this series. It has been almost completely forgotten, but honestly that isn't such a tragedy. This is DNA^2.
The future is dangerously overpopulated, so scientists worked to find the mysterious cause of the population explosion that occurred in the late 20th century. It turns out it is largely the fault of 1 man-whore called the "mega playboy" who possesses genes so good that women are hypnotized by him. This guy knocked up 100 women, who each gave birth to sons, who all went on to knock up 100 women of their own, and so on. A time cop is sent back to the past in order to s…

That nigga that brought you such poorly received reviews for Chrome Shell Regios, Starship Operators, and Rumbling Hearts is back again by infamous demand and mistrust to bring you his latest review for DNA2. I try to avoid watching shows that take themselves too seriously and because of that its hard to make critical reviews for shows that don't take themselves seriously anyway. Lucky for the my millions of fanboys and tramps I've found yet another show worthy of reviewing.
Nigga DNA2 is flat out stupid. I revolves around a guy whos supposed to be a looser that has potential for a rare genetic trait that would allow him to take over the world. No not really he could just bang and impregnate a hundred hoochies ( apparently this is supposed to be uncommon).It should have been calledl the "…

DNA^2 is... well, its good. Simple as that. If I had to say one thing about it from the get go, it would have to be that the art style and animation are it's strongpoints. If you want to know more, then by all means read on.
Story – To be honest, this is the reason I originally decided to watch this. It’s actually an interesting premise with the main character’s allergy to girls and his mega playboy alter ego threatening the future from overpopulation. The parts where his allergy is exploited are probably some of my favourites. Though, the whole mega-playboy thing is kind of underplayed. That’s probably for the better, since Junta is kind of dull in that form. There are some fanservice bits here and there, but they are there to exploit Junta’s weakness towards girls. This means there will…

I enjoyed the first 10 episodes and then it turned into a Dragon Ball Z feel to it that turned me off right then and there. At first it seemed great, different kind of story, funny and full of drama. And then it did a complete 180 and kinda ruined it for me, the extra episodes (13 - 15) was more of the same DBZ style plot line.

DNA^2,
Story:
The story is a bit odd, but is pretty good and is like any harem anime, silly but good enough. This anime lacks a lot and I have to say it really does shame the manga. This anime is very rushed and most plotlines are skipped, however it does have it's moments and the anime can be just one big joke. It's funny from time to time, also wierd, but it's not to bad.
Art:
For when this was made the art is definitely top notch.
Sound:
Soundtrack is good nothing special. Japanese voices are good but english dub sucks.
Character:
Character's are good, main character is the highlight of the show and really makes it what it is. Some characters just make me want to laugh, not in a good way.
Why did I like this anime?
I'm torn on this anime, they completely messed up the anime and rus…
