Hi I'm Dranzerstorm
You may remember me as a regular contestant on the caption battle contest.
Welcome to Retro Retrospective, my world dedicated to the old guard of the Otaku world; expect some reviews of the old & obscure, and in-depth geeky knowledge with the occasional top ten and I now have a logo.

Little info about me
Well I'm British and I'm in to all things animated and nostalgia.
I've grown up with every cartoon going and have watched hundreds of anime.
Oh and to answer a question I was asked once, no I don't wear glasses in real life, I would wear Loke's sunglasses though.

Do It Yourself Review

Wholesome anime is wholesome.

Miku and Serufu are best friends even if they attend different schools, Serufu is extremely clumsy while Miku frequently bemoans her friend for her constant injuries.
In a moment of curiosity, Serufu finds an old shed belonging to the DIY club and it's sole member Rei Yasaku, with new fascination and a hope to recreate memories with her best friend, Serufu joins the DIY club.
Joined by the shy Takumi, the energetic Kokoro and the young genius Juliet known as Jobko, the club sets out to build a treehouse.
This series will give you instant memories of K-On especially when Serufu is the lead character, wholesome is definitely the order of the day as each episode is a nice relaxing time with added lessons on basic DIY techniques, where it stands out from K-On is Jobko, the young American girl who steals the show and adds character to the anime. A couple of story elements that gets pushed aside very quickly, the lack of members in the club never really creates a crisis and the age of technology in the background of the DIY club while symbolic to show technology can never replace the art of building with your own hands, but the technology aspect quickly takes a backseat the longer the series goes on.
There is no dub to speak of but it's another series where you can predict the cast.
Final Verdict: Do it Yourself is a wholesome anime with a relaxed atmosphere that never gets tiring, while the story tends to forget it has plot points it more than makes the difference up with it's art style and colourful cast.
