To me this was definitely a hidden and underrated gem of the 2017 winter season because this was one fun and hilarious ride.
The story focuses on Tamotsu and his sister Niwaka who go to Akiba to enjoy all it's Otaku brilliance, but they get attacked by creatures called Bugged ones, they run into Matome who is defending Akiba from this threat and also with the help of Arisa they create a team to defend this Otaku paradise from this new monstrous threat.
You gotta love a story when it doesn't take itself seriously which is what this show does even though it's about a group of teens defending a section of town from weird monsters I was surprised to see how well this show worked because I can definitely say it was one funny ride because no matter how dangerous the threat got these group of characters never really got serious about it and seeing shows take the usual cliche that you see in a lot of other anime's and use them as jokes was a delight to see, not only that seeing this group of characters defeat the threat was also really funny like a video game battle, a eating competition and even a card game too. It was also full of references to many other anime's which was great to see the show make fun of because it worked really well with what was happening in many of the situations that happened in this show.
The characters were very likeable and funny Tamotsu is pretty much a big Otaku, but he isn't stupid he actually knows quite a lot of things like at some point his knowledge of electronics actually saved the day plus his none serious and lazy attitude was also really funny and different for once since you don't really see that many male MC's with this personality, but when the time called he can be a kind and protective person depending on what the reason is. Matome is a Tsundere that finally is really likeable true she does hit Tamotsu and makes him do patrols for the Bugged ones, but she actually has a fun personality once you get to know her and even at times she wasn't being serious which shows she can be pretty lose and damn can she eat a lot of food. Arisa is another one of those characters that has the sweet and energetic personality which is always a win for me, but she has a lot of surprises in store like she has a very complex life and is actually very smart plus the funniest aspect of her character is that she always end's up in a different costume well of course she's a cosplayer, but the outfit's she wore sometimes were just hilarious because they seemed so out of place. Niwaka is difficult to decipher mainly because she isn't in some episodes and can't fight against the enemies because she doesn't have powers, but she felt likeable anyway because she didn't do anything to annoy and there were some scenes that she did something that was actually funny.
The other supporting characters like the Professor who always travelled on her Segway and couldn't even fit in her lab Coat and the many villains were actually pretty good and it was hilarious seeing how over the top the villains were and how easy they were to defeat was also a funny site too.
The artstyle felt similar to Kill la Kill not the way the characters were made, but how it was used because a lot of the scenes where someone was being sarcastic or being over the top just reminded me of that show plus for some reason characters like Kage-san just reminded me of lego because their face's were so expressionless just like the lego faces.
The comedy was just fantastic there were cliches like the Deus ex Machina cliche that were used as jokes plus there was were a few 4th wall breaks which were pretty funny too, but the characters are what made the show really funny because of their none serious attitude my smile hardly disappeared because it was that funny to watch and the fact that ripping people's clothes off just to defeat also reminded me of High School DxD and to me that's always a good thing. The action though short was pretty fun I liked Tamotsu and Matome's power's and how Tamotsu gained these powers was actually quite surprising although I think I've seen it somewhere before.
Overall this was a friggin hilarious show if you want something that sorta works like Kill la Kill with it's comedy then you're definitely in for something epically amazing.
