Plot

A normal high school girl dreamt about an anime that she saw when she was a kid. Fixated on what that anime was, she dives into a whole new world, the world of anime.

Together with her new found otaku friends they form an Anime Club in their school. But this will prove to be a hard battle for them due to the Student Council's schemes on shutting their club down.

Facing many hardships and weird scenarios, these otakus learn how anime truly is a wonderful world of its own.

Review

Though this may just be another fan service anime, it certainly is a good watch. The amount of anime and otaku references is so relatable that you just want to finish it til the last episode.

The first half of the anime was pretty generic but still good enough. With additional otaku related insights it proves to provide a good sense of what an otaku really is and how they differ from the normal people.

But as the story progresses things get weird just like in an anime, additional characters, plot twists and over the top circumstances that make you rethink why it got there or why you're still watching.

The fact that there's an anime that talks about anime is interesting enough as it is. How they incorporate the real life events of typical otakus and hardcore ones is just tempting enough for you to get interested. It's like breaking the fourth wall which is a good theme for an anime at this day and age. The comical twists may be lacking but it's still good for those otakus who'd like to see themselves or relate to anime.
