Thoughts: 
The moment I saw this anime on my Facebook news feed, I became very excited to watch the whole season. Otaku anime for otakus. It's actually a unique love story. While watching the anime, everything that the characters do, react and say are related to my otaku life so it's fun to watch this. Also some romantic scenes are so different from the typical romance anime you've watched. You will likely be related to the characters' problems as well as an otaku. And one of the good points of this series, the main characters are not students but office workers. Maybe the producer or the writer of this story knows that the otaku generation is at their early 20s now (like me. huhu) since today's kids are into new games and consoles. Most likely the target audience are adults.

Each episode has different scenes but it tells how Narumi and Hirotaka's relationship is growing. I love the episode too where they played an RPG (Role Playing Game). I am into RPG when I watched this anime so I was really hyped that time and can relate to everything that the character explains in the episode. Also, Narumi is a Fujoshi (Female Yaoi fan) so I can see myself to her. She's actually the best representation of every Fujoshi in this anime fandom.

Animation: 10/10 
Of course! 

Soundtrack: 10/10
The anime's opening song "Fiction" by sumika is a cute song and so much related to the story. The opening animation is so cute as well. This song was recently became famous and considered one of the best new anime openings. The ending song "Kimi no tonari" by halca is also a cute and romantic song. 





Overall: 11/10
Really, a recommended anime for everyone. My friends watched this together and the boys were feeling giddy. It was very unusual to see boys like that. And overall this anime is just so cute you can't miss from watching it.
