About DNA²

Here is what DNA² (Ｄ・Ｎ・Ａ² ～何処かで失くしたあいつのアイツ～) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy, romance and sci-fi anime by MADHOUSE and Studio DEEN (1994). The setup: Junta has a problem: he's deathly allergic to girls! All this changes with the arrival of Karin,​ a gorgeous time-traveler who transforms him into the Mega-Playboy,​ the sauciest girl-magnet around.​ All at once,​ Junta's wildest dreams have come true,​ and all the prettiest girls in.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Megumi Hayashibara as Tomoko Saeki and Takehito Koyasu as Ryuji Sugashita.

This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
