Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Tomoya Aki, an otaku, has been obsessed with collecting anime and light novels for years, attaching himself to various series with captivating stories and characters. Now, he wants to have a chance of providing the same experience for others by creating his own game, but unfortunately, Tomoya cannot do this task by himself. He successfully recruits childhood friend Eriri Spencer Sawamura to illustrate and literary elitist Utaha Kasumigaoka to write the script for his visual novel, while he directs. Super-group now in hand, Tomoya only needs an inspiration to base his project on, and luckily meets the beautiful, docile Megumi Katou, who he then models his main character after. Using what knowledge he has, Tomoya creates a new doujin circle with hopes to touch the hearts of those who play their game. What he does not realize, is that to invoke these emotions, the creators have had to experience the same feelings in their own lives.

Great Finale episode!! Tomoya always pulls through. We finally get to see a glimpse of the game: the writing, the characters designs, and everything is too romantic. I’m hyped to see what’s next!
This episode is a little on the slower side. Katou really shines through this episode — I LOVE her soft voice and deadpan humor. She is just too sweet.
A new girl arrives at Tomoya’s house, and it’s bounded to get crazy again. As always, this episode is very witty. I love the banter between Utaha and Eriri — it’s giving a lot of dynamic. With his dating sim slowly taking shape, will Tomoya find the final missing piece?
And so, the plan to make up with Eriri begins. A sweet and intense episode. Emotions are high and it leaves you with lingering feelings, wondering how both of them will work it out. Overall, the visual and the storytelling in this episode is very interesting.
This is an important episode for Tomoya and Eriri. We see how special and also fragile their connection is — from childhood to now. Overall a very enjoyable episode.
A dynamic and overall great episode. The comedic timing, the deadpan humor, and the drama. It’s the kind of episode that makes you rush to watch the next one.
It’s getting complicated. We finally see how Tomoya’s determination is never flustering. He has his vision and he will stop at nothing to bring it to life. I love that for him!
We’re getting to know the characters a little deeper. Things are stirring up. Tomoya’s dating sim project finally gets its plot, but there’s something that Tomoya still has to do as a director.
This episode is a bit slow, but lots of good laughs. Tomoya’s determination is just unmatched. I just can’t help but cheer him on. I love the dynamic of the girls, especially between Utaha and Sawamura.
The pacing is little on the slower side. But we’re definitely moving somewhere with the “raising your girlfriend” agenda.
Nice pacing. This episode gives you a closer look at Katou. With her unintentional deadpan humor and Tomoya being a big nerd, their dynamic creates lots of funny scenes.
A light, attention-grabbing introduction to the series. The characters’ introductions are also done very neatly. Tomoya is me. I am him — an otaku who has absolutely no interest in any 3D. He’s a funny dude, I can’t stop giggling.
Nice wholesome ending hinting at another season. 😊 Tomoya officially becomes the music creator for his game. 🎶 Eriri and Megumi Kato get stronger. A funny moment when Utaha talks weird while Tomoya and Michiru Hyodo argue over her costume. 😂 Overall - funny, warm, 10/10!🌟👏
Nice wholesome episode! 😊 Michiru Hyodo offers Tomoya a new job. Megumi Kato saves Tomoya from his downtime. And the best part is when Megumi Kato, a genius, reveals Tomoya's secret using his game. Overall — warm and slice-of-life vibe, 9/10! ⭐️✨
Best episode so far! 😊A new character has been introduced. Includes fanservice, some of which feels unnecessary. 😅 It's funny how Utaha overkills Eriri. 😂 Overall - the comedy is at its peak! 🔥 9/10
Tomoya plays a rescue scene from one of the games to cheer up Eriri. 🎮 The episode was a bit boring, but if you want to learn about Tomoya and Eriri's past, you can watch it. Overall - wholesome, friend fight, 6/10. ⭐🤝
The episode feels like a sideline from the main story, but I didn't get bored. 😊 Tomoya helps Izumi Hashima at Comiket, and Eriri shows her feelings to him. Overall, it's wholesome — 7/10! ✨
New characters are introduced, and the episode shifts from funny to tense. The timing was perfect when Tomoya was sharing his thoughts about the junior girl, and then the girl appeared.🤭 Foreshadowing the upcoming rivalry in the dating game.🔥 Overall – comedy, tension, 8/10.
This episode focuses on Tomoya and Utaha, exploring how they meet and their backstory. It includes some fanservice and offers a nice mix of comedy and wholesomeness. Overall, a solid watch! 🌟😂 7/10
