Review of Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku

So far as of writing this I feel like this is less a romance anime and more a Otaku slice of life that just happens to be told from the view-point of 2 Otaku couples. I am using the term couples fairly lightly though since I feel like it's honestly closer to just 4 friends that just happen to be equal parts male and female and proclaim to be together when there's very little actual romance. So far I would say if you are looking for quality romance to probably look elsewhere, while this show does a very few really great moments, it's maybe 1every 3.5 episodes so far.

Basically I went in expecting a slow but gradual romantic development or even a off the bat relationship that slowly explores the "afterwards" of getting up the courage to pop that question. It's just not really there. The last 3 episodes in particular have been fairly bland with no real plot developement at all.

The art style is pleasing and so is the sound. The Character's are all stereo-typical cardboard cut out's but at least they are done well. The story started strong and held out for a bit but the last few episodes has me bored.

If things change after the series is finished I will either change or delete this review. Not sure how many episodes are left but if it's a standard 12 episode anime I imagine the last 5 better be gushing with content or my score will fall lower.

Edit: Finally finished this, and I have to say, the last 4 episodes had alot more romance packed in it but also tried to shoe horn in another trope couple and nothing at all got resolved or satisfied.

TL;DR This is one big Commercial for the Manga/ Light Novel. The anime will leave you fealing unfulfilled other than some of the stellar moments.
