English Dub Review: 2.5 Dimensional Seduction “New Student from Another Dimension”

Overview:

Okumura may not be interested in 3D girls, but he’s surprised when he discovers that he and Ririsa share similar passions.

Our Take:

I’m trying not to be too pessimistic with this show, but it was a rough episode. Then I looked at the episode count, and there are twenty-four! With how annoying the protagonist is already, I can only imagine that he will get worse, and his inability to have relationships with real girls will only become more eye-roll inducing. I know that people like Okumura exist in real life, but not quite to the extent that he’s acting, I don’t think.

I could also be letting the lack of progress in another rom-com I reviewed today skew my opinion. But I have a feeling that Okumura and Ririsa are supposed to be the main couple, but there are going to be multiple girls introduced. This feels like a harem version of My Dress-up Darling! Except that Gojo isn’t an annoying bastard. I hope I’m wrong about this show, but the first episode was pretty lackluster. Let’s hope that it becomes one of the better rom-coms out there, and it isn’t all about ecchi, but there’s also heart to it.
