Danna ga Nani is just fun. That's really all there is to it. This is a series of short (~4 minutes each) episodes about a young couple of newlyweds: an otaku husband and his "normie" wife. It probably bears mentioning that I don't think the purpose of this show is to shame or make fun at the expense of anime fans. Rather, I look at it as an optimistic and heartwarming portrayal of a couple who deals with each other's idiosyncrasies and finds love in it. Despite being a "normal" girl, Kaoru has her own quirks that Hajime has to deal with as well.

The characters in this show are great. They're all quite distinct and interact with each other in amusing ways. Which is good, considering that this show is completely about character interaction. There's not exactly a plot, in the same way you wouldn't say that a real life has a "plot" either, but things do happen and progress between episodes.

Honestly, you stand to lose nothing by trying it out. You can get through all of it in an evening easily. There's a lot of anime references, so the more shows you've seen, the more jokes you'll get. That said, as someone relatively new to the anime scene, even the jokes that referenced things I haven't seen (like Neon Genesis) were amusing, so odds are you won't feel too left out.
