If you like the underdog that punches above its weight, this might be the show for you.

I watched this series completely on a whim, expecting a lot of lonely otaku wish-fulfillment / pandering. I'll be quite honest, the start of the first season threw a lot of objectively unbelievable premises at the viewer exactly along these lines. Still, despite the predictably unbelievable start, it had some merits. Once getting past the initial unbelievable developments, the drama and romance aspects that followed were enough to keep me interested and just enough to make me curious about what would happen in the sequel.

And I'm glad I kept watching. I have to admit that where the first season of this show modestly exceeded my (very low) expectations, the second blew them out of the water. Now keep in mind, blowing very low expectations out of the water doesn't put this on the same level of some of the great romance / drama series that anime has to offer, but there's something satisfying about a show that could have been lazy, but chose to rise above its niche and offer something better.

If you enjoyed the first season, you'll almost certainly like the second. If for some reason you're reading this and haven't watched the first, if the initial lonely otaku pandering aspects of the show don't turn you off it, it actually ends up being worth the watch. Solid character development, interesting romance and drama. There's a sense that the author, for whatever flaws there are in the series, had a good concept of the show's beginning middle and end from the start. Far more than you'd expect from a lot of shows like this that might just drone on in slice of life mediocrity until they peter out on their own.
