Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Tweekums Tomoya Aki is an otaku, one obsessed with anime, manga, visual novels and such like, and he plans to create a dating sim of his own. He is inspired to do this by a chance meeting with a beautiful girl as he walked down the street. He has no idea who she is but that doesn't stop starting to create his game. He knows he can't make it on his own so sets about recruiting those with the talents he needs; Eriri, to do the illustrations and Utaha, who will right the game scenarios. At around this time he bumps into the mystery girl again; she is Megumi Kato, a girl who actually goes to his school but who is ignored by just about everybody else. Over the course of the series they will struggle to come up with a good story line, rush to meet deadlines and set about recruiting somebody to provide the game's music.This is a fun little series with fairly likable characters… it is also a harem show with all that entails; so expect misunderstandings between Tomoya and the girls and a few suggestive moments. The story is decent but definitely played for laughs… this does not do for dating sim creators what Shirobako does for anime creators and the fact that both series aired at the same time will lead to some inevitable comparisons. There is some fan service, especially in 'episode zero' which is almost a spoof of the series that follows, it isn't excessive though. The characters are distinctive from each other but are otherwise fairly standard in appearance and the animation is pretty good although some scenes which should be full of movement are reduced to a series of stills; a common way to save money but a little disappointing when it happens in what should be a memorable scene in the final episode. Overall I'd say this was a fun series that passes the time nicely without being too demanding.These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
