Review of Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku

It's okay. The timing on the jokes are a little off, feels like they couldn't quite translate the punchiness of the manga joke into the anime format. Definitely a romance before a comedy, and if you can't buy into the slightly over dramatic romance moments where the comedy takes a backseat, no amount of 'pretty okay' otaku jokes will drag you back in. The art is nice when it's nice, but definitely has 'don't look too closely when it's showing a far away shot' syndrome. All the characters are pretty good, would husbando Hirotaka. Really lacks any ending, which I suppose should be expected from anongoing somewhat romance comedy anime with little to no arcs (from what I remember of the manga). Honestly feels like it had LESS of an ending than other romance shows I've watched.

But you're here for the atmosphere, it's comfy and I thought it was slow moving comedy romance. I like to make fun of video game Let's Plays for being 'friendship simulator' but this is like a otaku friendship simulator anime.

Not fantastic, but definitely okay.
