For that, this comes definitely recommended in the dilemmas that we lead our lives under from time to time. Details Edit. Release date August 23, Japan. Official site.

At first, he seemingly puts up with it only because he's under the thumb of his manager, an almost cartoonishly vile woman who seemingly uses DMC not only to fulfill her dream of creating an indie metal band, but also as a masturbatory aide judging by her many outbursts.
She wants DMC to make her "wet" -- which she is more than happy to remind them -- and she drops the "F" bomb cluster-style in almost every single appearance of hers.
I would not idly call her DMC's biggest fan, which should speak volumes of the sheer levels of egotism she exhudes. The general idea of the satirical part of DMC is the whole balance between dreams and reality, more specifically the things you have to do to earn a living aligned against the difficulty of making a living of what you really want to do.
Like I already mentioned, I am deathly curious how Negishi ended up fronting a death metal band, but that's how he DOES make a living, and he's apparently quite good at it. This angle deepens when Souichi's pride in his work starts shining through. He might not like being a part of this band, but he's not going to let anyone who doesn't "get" his character take over his role, and he never really sabotages his performance or the chances of his band in any way, regardless of how often it gets in the way of his dreams or his encounters with a girl he really likes, or what he has to do to her to refrain from being associated with the band he works for.
It gives his character a slight egotistical bent, which plays out nicely against his perfect front or his evil alter ego. Being a fan of amongst other things heavy metal, the show also makes me a bit uncomfortable, to be honest, because there's always this underlying worry about how being a part of this fandom makes one appear to people who aren't fan of metal.
Living in one of the countries that make up the metal capital of the world has me wondering if this is how other people see metal. A lot of it is image-driven, I'm certainly not denying that, and heavy metal has its share of Then again, rock music is hardly the only music style that had to fight for its public acceptance; even the hardanger fiddle, a popular instrument in Norwegian folk music, was once considered the devil's instrument , though unlike rock and metal, for different reasons unrelated to satirical undertones or irony.
As far as music goes; DMC's music is actually quite decent, even if the lyrics sounds like they're written by five year olds. The show obviously doesn't have the animation chops to give any technical blow-by-blow of Souichi's virtuoso, like the kind you can see in Kids on the Slope or Beck , instead relying on gimmicky stuff like playing with your teeth or just hammering the strings for what it's worth. But all image-related ridiculousness aside, its metal melodies are simple, but enjoyable enough for me to enjoy.
Like Liked by 1 person. I agree with you there. Despite the minute episodes, I watched it over three sessions to keep it fresh.
Like Like. This show had me rolling with laughter. I must spend some time studying more or figuring out more.
