Review of Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku
Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii (Love is Hard for Otaku) Otaku being the equivalent of a gamer/anime lover. This anime delivers a pleasantly, comical experience through the intense emotions of the characters. This story is based upon Otaku gaining love, and holds true to the end of the story. That is the whole purpose of this story, and the characters achieve that through finding other Otaku to interact with, in this case being in the workplace. The characters kind of stumble upon each other and through a series of bold moves interact with each other for what would be described as an incredible experience. I guess life ismore fun when we gather the courage to do something crazy, eh?
Four main characters are the bases of character development with a fifth/sixth joining temporarily along the way. Each character is given a distinct personality and have many flaws because of it. This is exciting, as we are all humans, and as well it's great to see the strengths of our characters in situations such as pissing off another character and then trying to make it up to them. Totally normal situation, ya?
In fact, this whole anime is full of normal experiences and it's hilarious to see them back in action. We ourselves have probably been in many of these awkward situations or would like to be... how do I feel? How do they feel? What should we do next? Alright. Here I go! (being in the mindset of a guy interacting with a girl).
Alright, ratings time:
Story - 8 - In terms of a slice of life, this anime does a good job of building up the experience for the viewer and the main characters along the way. There is story progression.
Graphics - 9 - Very modern and well done. There are even times when they incorporate an additional graphics engine to render games that they play within the anime itself. Super cool.
Soundtrack - 8 - Nice to listen to. Fits the mood well.
Characters personas - 8 - I felt that the characters expressed themselves very well and showed fault and strengths, and were consistent with their nature.
Voice acting - 10 - Absolutely awesome Japanese voice acting. Really spot on and my favorite thing about this anime, if that can be said for voice acting.
Overall - 8 - Lovely experience, that.
Recommended - Yes, for all Otaku out there looking for love, or for ones with girlfriends now or more (you make me proud), and the two of you need something to watch together.
