In some sense, there exists a stigma that anything animated is for children, and therefore anime as a whole must be targeted toward children. Countless generic shows are reproduced and repackaged to keep the scene fresh for an ever-revolving door of youth; for example, the marvelous trash of Green Green which I was unfortunately exposed to during my teenage years could parallel any number of modern stock shows. Yet, behind the tidal wave of triviality, there has always been a market for something more. Picking the sparkling shells off the shore of mundane sand is what has kept me coming back to anime time and time again, and I’m always amazed at the creativity and ingenuity talented Japanese authors can conjur with a modest budget and a open mind. Wotakoi is definitively one such diamond among the rough, aimed precisely at persons like myself who have stepped beyond our childhood anime fancy and now live in a very different world. On a superficial level, Wotakoi is a slice of life comedy with a sweet dose of romance tucked away pleasantly behind its veneer. Peel back the onion a bit, however, and the series blossoms into a charming commentary on the evolution from child to young adult to working adult. The story plays with terribly complicated and nuanced themes, yet does so with a deft and humorous hand. Take, for example, the ebb and flow of people that sift in an out of your life as you pass along through the years, which the show foils through the Narumi/Hirotaka pair and the Hanako/Tarou pair in many ways. In one regard, I often laughed audibly because the presentations of such a theme were legitimately funny, and in another I laughed poignantly because the show just gets it. Indeed, despite the intellectual heaviness way in the background, there’s no great philosophical drama overarching the story. Wotakoi simply aims to have fun with many things adults come to understand and deal with through life experience, and does so with classy humor and a great deal of parody that older fans of anime will no doubt appreciate in spades. All that said, many younger viewers may not appreciate the delicate and slow pacing on which the series moves its romance along. Hirotaka and Narumi are not a typical love-shy couple who can’t express their feelings for one another – quite the opposite, they are a very real couple who handles their romance in a strikingly believable fashion. Both have battle wounds from past relationships that shape how they approach new ones, both cannot let their personal life impact their performance at their job, and both understand that real romances are not a joinder of two perfect unicorns together. Not to mention, they have a busy job which keeps them occupied for a significant portion of their time. The couple recognize and understand that their relationship actually takes work, and that means dealing with fluctuating insecurities, the difficulty communicating between the sexes, and the balancing acts of work life and personal interests in a mature and non-dramatic fashion. And yet, amidst all fundamental backstory, Wotakoi is not at all a heavy drama or a sappy shoujo. The core of the show is a slice-of-life, lightly-touched romantic comedy that aims at the development of a relationship working adults can relate to. The story and themes are delivered concisely, intelligently, and hilariously, often rife with feel-good and nostalgic moments that also ping you with the softest bit of melancholy come the time the iconic ending theme begins to roll. Animation The animation is stock and standard for this day and age, spinning off with a bit of its own style in the character designs that generally works well. Character designs are thematic, and the visuals match the comedic intent quite well along the voice actors. Generally, these types of shows tend to have limited animation budgets, and it certainly can be noticed; yet, Wotakoi has a certain unique visual charm that works well for its delivery, so there’s not really too much to criticize here. The show worked with the resources it had quite well. Sound The musical score is decidedly average and unmemorable, but it functions aptly for a slice-of-life setting. There’s no need for deep dramatic overtures, high-strung orchestral battles, or gripping tear-jerking elegies. Instead, the series has a fitting light-hearted, silly set of tracks that fulfill their functional role precisely as intended. More than anything else, though, the voice acting is what makes the show successful. The banter between Hanako and Tarou is fantastically done by their respective seiyuu, and complements wonderfully the stoicism of Hirotaka and Narumi’s upbeat charm. Each character’s seiyuu appeared to be simply having fun doing their job, and this brings the fun and upbeat nature of the characters to a higher level than might have otherwise been done. Characters Wotakoi’s four primary characters are absolutely stellar. As, hands down, one of the most well-written character ensembles I’ve seen in the past 20 years, it’s amazing to see just how much character development can be fleshed out in such a short period of time with clever dialogue and skilled writing. Hirotaki and Narumi despite her being a vile fujoshi are incredible leads, each painted with interesting backstories and strong motivations for acting the way they do. Sure, the “otaku” meme is played out strongly in both, but the series splashes several serious undertones into their relationship which are handled flawlessly without disrupting the greater comedic flows of the episodes. Hirotaka, for example, is an unsocial nerd, but he’s neither antisocial nor an emotionless automaton. Deeper beneath his mask is a man wrestling with a greater existential struggle – his games are satisfying to a degree, and yet he wants some more in his life. This flickering dissatisfaction drives him to pursue Narumi in a paced and respectful manner consistent with his personality, and while he’s clearly content with his life as it is, he’s open to having Narumi play a role in it as well. On the other hand, Narumi is a mildly social nerd who struggles to find common interest with others. With a history of failed relationships and friendships, she is cautious about wanting to jump headfirst into another relationship mistake. At the same time, she also does not completely understand her own feelings, and it’s endearing to watch her grow actual slow and real attraction toward Hirotaka despite him not being her “top pick.” These facets between the two are presented simply to be just parts of who they are, and come with no exterior drama baggage and belabored exposition – the show simply takes for granted it knows it is telling its story well, and as such the viewer will simply understand. In the greater context, the problems they face are ones all functional adults feel, internalize, and learn to deal with from day to day. Foiling the new couple, Hanako and Tarou have a long-standing, established relationship that’s presented as highly stable and mature. They are long past the “lovey-dovey” phase that many romance dramas try to target, and are presented with problems that they resolve appropriately on a regular basis. Both are developed in such a fashion that their relationship is believably deep and tested, which sets the tone for their hilarious banter which paces many of the core events each episode. Their love is genuine, and while each screws up constantly, they understand it’s a mutual failing and through that they grow stronger together. The interplay between the four is simply excellent. Overall While it’s true the anime simply “ends”, the show caught up to the manga and left off with what content it had to fill. Given how the series progresses it feels properly-paced for a standard 26-episode run, though, and therefore it’s a bit of a letdown to see it conclude prematurely. That said, it concludes quite nicely for the point at which the manga had been written, and there exists potential for a sequel to be made once more content is available. Long story short, if you’re an adult and you like romance, this anime is hands down the cream of the crop. A very different taste from say Spice and Wolf or Clannad, certainly, but nevertheless easily fits in my top five for the genre. Check it out!
