Anyone going into this film should probably know that a lot of the footage of the films live action portions are fake, with most people interviewed being employees of the studio, (one of the people who acts in this film as an interviewee is none other than notorious Otaku hater Hidaeki Anno, who pretends to be a fan who has little self control over specific viewing behavior, watch the film and you will see what I am talking about), so it shouldn't be taken seriously. As a mockumentary though, it is very funny. The anime portion is very enjoyable, starting out very relatable but going into bizarre territory. It does show some of the aspects of social stigma that are very present among anime fans, but in a very funny parody style. Not a perfect film by any means, but if you are looking for a film that spoofs its own audience, than look no further.
