Story: The Story was really simple. Just a couple of childhood friends who rekindle a friendship at work which ends up resulting in a relationship. Along with another couple who they work with the anime follows the daily lvies of these four Otaku and the struggles of dating an Otaku. Art and Animation: Very clear, clean, and crisp. This anime was very easy on the eyes. With A-1 producing it I did not expect anything less. Sound and Music: The opening is probably the best of the season. the song is super catchy and you basically just want to get up and dance with the characters. Themusic throughout the series is not really noticeable which is not a bad thing. The voice actors did a tremendous job.

Characters: The broke down the dynamic of anime fans pretty well minus our two female leads. They were even able to work in a "Non-Otaku" to make it feel more real in my eyes.

You have your two fujoshi fan girls in Narumi and Koyonagi who at most times disagreed with who they "ship" in certain series.

Narumi you find out right away is a Doujinshi Artist.
Koyonagi's hobby gets found out pretty quickly as well, as we find out she is a popular cosplayer. I would have liked if the anime went more into these two and their hobbies but they did enough in my eyes for how the anime turned out.

We then have Hirotaka who has a more laid back and chilled personality and focuses his time on games. IE the game Otaku. He and Narumi are dating.

Then have Kabukura who is the boss at the office that they all work at. He is dating Koyonagi.
Kabukura is basically your average Otaku. He prefers Yuri manga and anime. His clashes with Koyonagi can be pretty funny at times. There are some serious moments between them as well which really make the anime feel more realistic.

Bringing back the "Non-Otaku" we come to find out about Hirotaka's younger brother Naoya. Naoya works at a local coffee shop near the office that our main characters work at. He has absolutely no skills when it comes to playing video games or when it comes to watching anime. They even refer to him as a "Normie" in the anime which I found pretty funny.

He eventually meet Kou Sakuragi a classmate of his and they form a friendship over a PC game.

I was kind of upset that Kou was introduced so late because I liked the character a lot.

Enjoyment: I thoroughly enjoyed this anime. I though the comedy was really well done and I love it when an anime makes references to other anime.

Overall: I thought this was one of the best anime in Spring 2018. However this anime is not for everyone. I feel like it's more for people who can relate being an Otaku. There's just certain references I feel like most anime watchers would not understand.
If you are looking for a great comedy though I would recommend it.
