In case that wasn't clear, the story is about your typical high-school otaku named Tomoya who has a dream of creating 'the ultimate galge' that can touch the hearts and souls of everyone playing it. In reality, Saekano is much more similar to shows like Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai, OreImo and Outbreak Company as it has a character cast mainly consisting of otakus, and it consistently parodies and makes fun of today's anime industry as well as the eroge market as a whole. That was still just the very first route!Īnd that, ladies and gentlemen, is Saekano quite possibly the most positively surprising show of the season.įirst of all I would like to say that despite the ecchi tag the fanservice in this show is very light (other than episode 00). It also is very ironic how the protagonists condemn typical anime cliches while being typical anime cliches.There was one more thing that they would needĪll the girls thought of him as their fatedīut there's more where that came from to boot The last 4 episodes feel super, super rushed, and there is no meaningful conclusion. It feels annoying and the humor of season 1 is gone. Season 2: Character development comes to a hold, Kato's screen time is much too short and meaningless, every single conversation is about the McGuffin (the video game they are working on), and there just is too much forced conflict. I think they overdid it with female characters.

And then there is Michiru, Aki's cousin, whose only purpose is to be another girl in Aki's life. Aki's other friends, Eriri and Utaha, are much more central to the actual plot, but both of them are unlikable and moody.

But other than that, she lacks any real purpose other than to grow closer to Aki, and it feels somewhat forced. Kato has no real reason to put up with them, but she does anyway, and her stoic remarks are priceless.

Season 1: The plot, of course, doesn't make a lot of sense, but Aki's eccentrism and antics are fun to watch.
