Yeah, but I re-iterate, you're a western fan, your fiancee is a western fan. You live in the west. You are not them, they are different. They don't have fangirls in the same way, and they surely don't act the same even if there were. Yeah I've run into tons of socialable attractive fangirls, but it doesn't work the same way in Japan. Were I an otaku, I'd most likely be a disagreeable and pungent nuisance that you'd want to avoid, and I would be incapable of hiding my love for anime, and have a terrible fashion sense.

How well do ecchi or fanservice shows usually do here? |

er, I think your hate is influencing your perception Just like you can't say all introverts are hikkimori, you can't extrapolate the the extreme case of "want to marry 2d girls" to all who consider themselves otaku (yes, in Japan). No, being "otaku" is not mainstream and will probably never be outside of anime, but as I mentioned here

Statistically, I don't know. I do know they're considered niche and all, but I recall Shuffle! and Kanon being fairly successful. IMO, this is like a moe (yet still slightly self-depricating in that respect) and obviously less dramatic version of Welcome to the NHK, and that too, as far as I know, has done well. |

The first season was hardly the greatest anime ever, but it had a certain sweetness and sincerity to it that could make it endearing, as well as a lot of funny moments and parodies of/references to other anime titles. It stood at least a bit above typical sappy romantic comedies in that it heavily emphasized accepting someone for who they really are, rather than who they're perceived to be, as a key factor in the relationship and built a reasonable foundation for why the hot girl would want to be with the guy.
I'm not going to deny that it specifically panders to otaku, because nearly every aspect of the show does do that. However, it also aims at least a bit higher than that, giving it an appeal and value above and beyond being just a purely fan-pandering work. That's why I will be watching its second season, too.

Well, this is based off of a light novel series. Presumably there's a lot more material that they could animate (but I don't really know much about the source material, so it's just a supposition). I'm very happy to hear this, since I really ended up liking the first series a lot and was wanting more of these characters. I didn't think we would be getting it, so this is welcome news to me. |

I've met several fangirls/fanboys (both Western and Japanese) and there's really nothing different about them. Some are well rounded, cool people and others are socially awkward with bad hygiene. It's the same all over the world. Japan has moderate fanboys and fangirls, not just super otaku hikikkomori. |

No details have been announced yet. It isn't on the spring schedule, though, so it certainly won't be earlier than July. |

I'm banking it will take from the novels where the first season left off. Although it strayed from the novels as most anime do. I'm guessing it will be about Haruka becoming an idol. Also Yuto should have his hands full with Shiina as she starts her pursuit of him. I guess they can throw in more with the battle maids if my memory is correct. All depends on the producers and how they want to take it.
It be nice to keep it simple as in season one, a very light hearted innocent romance. Hence the manga title "Innocent Smile", and that's the way the novels stay throughout. |

Sounds interesting. But, when ever it does come out I hope it will be good like season 1 was. |
