That's right, this is not your typical shonen, shoujo, fantasy or even seinen (although it certainly qualifies in the latter); the genre of this work is in fact tragicomedy, something that as anime fans we are not used to seeing in a work and that may turn some people away.
Many may or may not like it, but we should at least applaud Akiba Wars for being a breath of originality and an example to follow in a medium that is being filled by the day with repetition of the same plots over and over; where we only see wish-fullfillment protagonists who are nothing but poorly written self projections, brimming with plot holes and deus-ex machina moments.
That achievement alone is enough to make Akiba Wars stand head and shoulders above the vast majority of current anime -and TV series-, but one must also recognize all the technical value and passion of the team behind this work. Every detail has been taken care of, from the character design, to the voice acting, to the perfectly set music, without overlooking that black humor that is able to make you laugh even in the middle of a totally sad scene.
So if you haven't seen it yet and want to see something original or feel tired of seeing the same Isekai repeated every season, you shouldn't hesitate to give it a chance.
