Wotakoi : L'amour, c'est compliqué pour un otaku

I enjoyed it. And I saw myself in it (by which I don't mean because of Narumi and Hanako's favorite genre). I also watched it with my now-ex-otaku husband. That made it all the more fun. I like the Noitamina network because they really try to air series aimed at an older audience, and this anime is one such case. The whole thing made sense. The characters stuck to their roles and didn't deviate – most of all they were not over the top, even though they were otaku. It may not be as entertaining for someone who knows nothing about the otaku subculture (who are just a bit out of touch like Naoya, Hirotaku's younger brother) but they may still find enjoyment in the cuteness of some of the characters, the comedy, and the two adult relationships, apologies to Yaoists, between a man and a woman. I hope there will be another series. A weaker 4 stars. (19/09/2018)

Love is hard for otaku, love is hard for everyone, so why, after watching this anime series, do I get the impression that it is not that hard with an adult perspective and some humor and tolerance? Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku is a likable spring romantic comedy that works in all aspects. It easily puts both an amused smile on my face and the kind of goofy expression that accompanies something pleasant and endearing. The main credit for this goes to the characters, who are excellent. Hirotaka is cool, Narumi is cute, and the other couple (Hanako and Tarou) are likable and quite funny. The most important thing is that I liked all four characters and enjoyed watching them - the chemistry between the characters works. There is a spark between the two main protagonists. After eleven episodes you can see that theirs is a relationship that was initially just based on the fact that they both have similar interests and have known each other since childhood. This meant that they did not have to pretend in front of each other, this couple evolved and grew, and you could see that they liked each other. Well, the other couple is again an excellent example of teasing. Relationships like this can be intense, especially when it involves two temperamental personalities; it makes it look like the proverbial blowing hot and cold. The reconciliation and those moments of peace, the kissing, and making up are just worth it. Well, in other words, the relationships are emotionally charged, and they are presented quite realistically. Combined with the fact that each character is an otaku (or, if you want, each character has a hobby bordering on obsession), there is a lot to follow. There is no shortage of entertaining situations - a pleasant 8.1/10. (22/06/2018)
