Review of Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku

I feel a little let down. Don't get me wrong, there was not a fault in the entire show... but it didn't do anything either. There was no progression! It's great that one character wants to be seen "as a man", but it's forgotten about. It's great that one character has insecurity about her body, but it's forgotten about. The show explores their relationship, but asides like, a single hand hold, even that is forgotten about! The fault may lie in the characters. Their relationships to one another are astounding in the way they are written, but each of the central cast is one-dimensional on their own.Case-in-point, there was a pre-opening-credits scene with the male-lead, exploring his morning. He got up. He played his game. He went to work. That was it. No, seriously, that was it.

If you're looking for an anime about adults (not high schoolers), about game-otaku, and about a relationship with complexity, might I recommend 'Recovery of an MMO Junkie / Net-juu no Susume'... despite the controversy surrounding the director of that anime, it is far more worthy of your time.
