Title: How to date an Otaku Girl (Fujoshi Kanojo)
Category: Japanese Movie
Web Summary: College student Mutou Ookawa catches a glimpse of Ametani Yuiko, his co-worker from a former part-time job and falls immediately in love. Summoning up his courage, he eventually confesses his feelings to her and she responds “…but I’m a fujoshi.” Mutou not having the slight clue what “fujoshi” means, immediately responds “That’s OK!”
JM's Review: I was intrigued because of the word "Otaku" since i am a bit of an otaku myself. I expected a lot of weird language only Otaku's know about. A fujoshi basically means someone who loves the relationship between both men or in other terms a "yaoi fangirl". Its funny to see someone without a clue on the nature of fujoshi's while having a relationship with one. This is more on the light romance side. It has a bit of comedy too and will make you smile. I dont think non-otaku fans will enjoy watching this. You may think that this is weird and that the main character is weird. Thats the point of the whole movie, regardless whether or not you enjoy the same things, as long as you love each other you will try to understand one another.
Final Verdict: A really sweet and unique movie to watch. Definitely fits the title perfectly.
Overall Rating: 7/10
Recommendable? Watch this when you feel like there are no people who can understand you. It will really make you feel good and will give you hope~ Also recommended to those guys whose girlfriends are into these kind of stuff.
