#ABSOLUTE DUO SERIES#
However, I still hold out hope that this series could come to blow me away considering that it was attractive enough (in FUNimation’s eyes) to produce a broadcast dub. So it wasn’t as if Absolute Duo brought nothing to the table, but it might take some stretching to find more good than bad. Plus, many were enamored by the animation in the opening theme (which does look gorgeous). I believe that has more to do with the genre than the series itself. And while the company seems to be dubbing nearly every new show they license, back in 2015 this was a much bigger deal. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s horrible, but the series was plagued by negative comments, making it clear that this show wasn’t particularly desirable.

Reminding readers that when it was first being simulcast, many reviewers and audience members didn’t feel it warranted a weekly review. It received a negative review when Anime News Network took a look at the product. Sadly, Absolute Duo didn’t do much to become one of the premiere superpower high school series. With so many “magical/super power” high school series, it needs a lot to stand out. Sounds pretty original, doesn’t it? No, it isn’t, which gives Absolute Duo a tough chance to make a solid impression with fans. Along the way, a few female characters find themselves interested in the male lead, which leads to awkward situations, provided mostly for humor.


He, just like everyone else at this academy, is gifted and must use these powers to help keep balance in the world. Stop me if you heard this before, but the male lead of an anime series is going to a high school to help train himself to be stronger for his friends.
