Liked Watamote: coming to terms with being socially awkward. The manga was funnier and revealed even more odd situations extolling the imaginary throes surviving puberty and adolescence. Welcome to the NHK was an instant hit for me although I felt the roomie nerd gamer developer lad recovered too quickly from otakudom to be believable as the story moved forward.

My fav re nerddom was The Tatami Galaxy. Nothing evokes frustration better than being an outcast, real or imaginary, trying to achieve what others seemingly inherited at birth "living that rose-colored" life during college. As far as I was concerned this show correctly dissected what it's like to endure nincompoopery instead of selective scholarly knowledge preparing oneself for the rewards and pitfalls encountered attaining that mantle of accomplishment thinly veiled as the prelude leading to that rose-colored life. Here you encountered a gypsy on the street who dispensed wish-fulfillment in the guise of a service for a fee; there, you dealt with a college student advisor who dispensed mentoring in the guise of a rudderless ship.

Just wanted to throw in a quick recommendation for Netoge aka And you thought there is never a girl online? in this thread. The “better” (imo) version of Gamers! and my personal favorite of the geek shows.

I was like "Genshiken BETTER be on here!!" Anime hyper

Other ones I really like (besides this list) are Nozaki-kun, Comic Party, Doujin Work, and Lucky Star. I relate way too much to Konata. :p I don't want to play adult games though; that's the only bit that's off-putting about her. Anime hyper

There needs to be more anime with a MC obsessed with shoujo.
