"The Duke of Death and His Maid" offers a refreshing take on the romance anime genre, providing viewers with a unique and engaging story. The series introduces us to interesting characters who add depth and charm to the narrative.

One of the standout features of the anime is its ability to balance romance with a touch of ecchi. The show teases the audience with playful moments without crossing into explicit territory, keeping the tone light-hearted and entertaining. This approach adds a layer of humor and anticipation, making it suitable for a wider audience.

The animation in "The Duke of Death and His Maid" is commendable, showcasing quality ...

Story: 5/10
Undoubtedly the best romance of this season because its competition is just another typical harem show. Fair share of comedy, romance and drama that makes the story dazzling. At first, it seemed to me like the quintessential slice of life comedy that would have a pretty shallow plot expansion. I was right. Fundamentally, it is structured much like "Teasing Master Takagi-san", and their relationship seems to be written like a Romeo and Juliet type of love which I can appreciate.

Art: 6/10
If you do not enjoy CGI at ALL, this show is going to be the death of you. In all honesty, the CGI ...

Although its animation is CGI that did not prevent the anime Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid from being one of the best of the summer season 2021.
The story, the suspense and the comedy (also the ecchi) combine very well with this anime being well loved despite its CGI animation, who is the witch who cursed Bocchan and why did she do it? How will they break the curse? Will Bocchan give Alice like a drawer that doesn't close when she breaks the curse? These are some questions that this anime leaves you (the last question I said as a joke xd), a love story that ...

Hmmm. Perhaps the first that every one would say... The story is dragged, mainstream, or ruined? The CGI is bad, animation sucks? Characters are blank and meaningless?

Well... They are the basic ones. Trust me when i say, if you have experienced general life, as it is, this anime will be enjoyable for you.

The basic story is, that his Grace is cursed by a witch, whom ever he touches, dies. Okay, it is simple. Characters? Okay, his Grace.. general blushy from maid, afraid to touch others.. keeps distance - thats pretty simple too. The Black Maid? A little perverted, good looking and loves teasing. ...

'Shinigami Bocchan to kuro maid' strengths come from fun character dynamics and an interesting premise for the overarching storyline. Centered around the Duke's curse and his relationship with Alice, many unique characters get introduced mixing more supernatural events into the romance comedy equation.

Even though it's easy to argue that you get adjusted to the animation and the character design does looks genuinely pretty at times, the awkward stilted CGI style shows in the movements and I can't help but wish they would have given the anime adaptation a slightly different treatment; and yet it's a shame many people are passing on it due to ...

Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid, a charming series that focuses on a relationship between a Duke that kills anything he touches and his maid who is solely devoted to him. Rather slept on this Summer season IMO.

The first thing one would take notice of in this series is it's use of CGI. IT IS NOT THAT BAD. Too many shows get unfairly criticized for it's animation when CGI is in use, I understand, we all know about Berserk 2016 and the most recent Ex Arm and so on... I get it. However, this show's CGI is levels above the quality of said infamous anime, and ...

Do not be fooled by its animation this anime is going to enchant you.

Romance but no contact is a love story between a maid and a cursed duke.

At first, I didn't like it, but as the chapters went by I liked it.

A bit of Fan Servis, but it's a comic book story. XD

The Protangonistas are well done and the story has a central idea.

Overall: 5/10

This show has plenty to hook the viewer straight away. You can't help but want to cheer for the young Duke and his love. His curse is truly horrifying and the loneliness he is forced to endure at his age makes me want to watch him find happiness in the end.

But that interest can only sustain me for so long. I realized very early on that this seems to be based off of a gag manga where the running gag is that the busty maid teases the young Duke by playing on his sexual attraction and budding love towards her. Had I enjoyed ...

This show gave Disney vibes all over, this show was sweet and had an intriguing story, The characters were nicely portrayed and the plot was well executed. The CGI was a bit of a letdown but still, I loved this show, but there was so much they could have done to make us sympathize with the characters like they should have really focused on how Bochhan is discriminated against by the people around him because of his curse. Overall I had a great time watching this show and I'm really looking forward to season 2 to see how the story folds.

Alice in Bocchan-land

Summer anime season is in its last week, so it’s time to binge as many as possible. A gloomy teenager with the curse of killing any living things he touches lived with his maid, who was his childhood friend, while trying to find the way to lift the curse.

The worst aspect of this anime was the CGI animation. The problem with this new animation style is that the movements and facial expressions are very unconvincing. However, after three or four episodes, I got used to the animation style and just rolled along with it.

But other than that, this was a wholesome romcom ...

Those CGI's animation is really bothering me in the entire show. like the other reviews, those robotics faces really make me unfocus. I can't feel the romances. all things that I see is a maid tried to sexualized herself. The duke is really childish. I thought the duke will be - heartless and doesn't care about everything. after every trauma that he's been through. Wow, are you depressed? Get yourself a sexy childhood maid! and his sister- bruh she is simping to a literal grandpa. hopefully, Rob didn't become a pedo to Olivia. On eps 9, they start to downgrading the animation. I'm kinda interested ...

I see a lot of people complaining that they didn't like the way the show was animated mainly because it was CGI but idk to be honest I didn't even notice it was CGI until I read the reviews. I usually also don't like when anime uses CGI but with this one I found it pretty well done. The characters look cute the way the background looks like a canvas makes it seem like a theater play or a story book. I am really enjoying the show as of now. The characters are lovable they are all interesting and fun to watch. Its one of ...

So let’s talk about the elephant in the room first, so I can spend the rest of this review convincing you to forget about the elephant, and watch this anime. The characters in this series are done in CGI, using what appears to be the same kind of process that was used in one of J.C. Staff’s other series: “Hi-Score Girl.” You’re either going to let that bug you, or you won’t. For some people CGI is a complete turn-off, and means an instant drop. For others, they don’t care. I’m kind of in the middle. I much prefer standard animation, not too big a ...

I can't believe I binged this in one night... I sat on my couch and barely moved for six hours! Let's get right into the anime basics.

Story; Stuck inside the family Villa, Bocchan (the young Duke, heir to his family) lives alone with his two servants. Although he was born into as the first son into a wealthy family, sadly at a young age a witch cursed him, not letting him be loved ever. Although it sounds straight forward, it actually affects living organisms around him. Plants, animals and especially humans can't be touched by him or they die right away. Although his life seems ...

The duke of death and his maid. One of many "liked by anime-only's disliked by manga readers" type of anime. As an anime only, you can probably guess my opinion on this show.

STORY: 8/10

You might have been like me, read the synopsis and thought that this is a drama filled love story of a man who kills everything he touches. It is not that. Its more of a rom/com with drama elements added to it to make it a liitle bit more interesting. Either way, the story is pretty good, its nothing that we haven't seen before, "the teasing girl and the flustered boy", but ...

You ever have that feeling of love but being too scared to act on it? Well this is this show he loves her she loves him but he’s cursed with death anything he touches dies including her so what does he do?

This show builds that story and theme throughout building the relationships and a way to break the curse it’s fun quirky and easy to follow it’s fairly slow paced with this season being a setup there’s 2 more (as of writing)

so far it’s been good learning the characters and enjoying them for who they are learning about the curse and ...

Shinigami Bocchan is basically a mix of the ideas of two sucessful anime in romance genre: The Teasing Master Takagi-san and High Score Girl. It reminds the first because of the relation between the two main protagonists: the Duke and Alice, who is constantly teasing him, mostly sexually (no fanservice). But it is also similar to High Score Girl because of the characters' design and the use of CGI use, that is the most important thing to talk about here.

The CGI is perfectly used in Shinigami Bocchan and I will explain why. What's the most important thing in a romance show? The feelings. ...
