The anime starts and I hear “F***”. And I was like “F***! Is this kind of anime I should be watching?” Nonetheless, I kept watching. And lo! More words were to come with greater impact.

An anime full of “f” kind of words and a lot of pervert things with Death Metal as its theme, it’s one of the most f***ed up anime, it’s Detroit Metal City (DMC). They call its genre as vulgar comedy.

Plot – It’s a story about Soichi Negishi, who wants to make career in soulful music after completing his studies in Tokyo. He ends up being the lead singer of a band called DMC. His stage name is Johannes Krauser II who has a lot of infamous tales associated with him including that he raped and killed his parents in his childhood, is totally opposite to real Negishi who is kind of mama’s boy.

As the story progresses, he finds himself torn apart between him and his Krauser personality, which comes out whenever he gets excited or angry (usually very critical moments of his love life). And more legends are created in each segment of the episode.

More interesting is his company’s president, who has a peculiar way of enjoying excitement (Can’t write here. You gotta watch it for that)

Analysis – As crazy it sounds, this one is beyond my head to analyse, so I’ll leave it to your imagination. But it does have a lot of things which hint that even if Krauser is more like a death messenger, the good side of Negishi helps him help people. And I must say, I wasn’t interested in Death Metal before watching the anime and I am not interested now. Too extreme are the lyrics.

Other things – Animation is okayish. Characters aren’t of today’s general style – big eyes, shining colors but I think it won’t go with the theme either. The beats of the songs rock. Lyrics are all f***ed up. The most peculiar thing about the anime is that its all 12 eps are of 14:12 length, no more, no less. Its starting and ending though are 2+ mins each, so the actual content reduces to around 10 mins. Each episode has two segments A and B.

A live action movie is also there. Again my favorite character is the president (Don’t judge me on that if you end up watching the anime!!!). Also, you don’t need to worry about the f words being translated from Japanese to English since most of the times, they’re spoken in English only.

It’s not that I am recommending it from my side. I wouldn’t have watched it if this friend of mine hadn’t recommended it to me. But it’s hella funny and worth a try (I generally don’t like the obscure comedy. I never got Chromartie High School and such but this, even I found funny!). If you’ve a problem with the content, don’t blame me afterwards.

I think this youtube playlist with some of the songs will help clarify some things and help you decide to watch it or not:
