Do you recommend it? Yes

yes the title is weird. but this is quite the drama.

essentially we have this. akihabara, as you all know, is a center for commerce and a famous gathering of teh otaku. this story, as explained in the kinda opening, is about 6 such otakus, who band together under the instruction of a common online mentor named YUI, to form a troubleshooting company that seeks to solve the problems in akuhabara upon request.

Story: well, there is one, it has necessary character links, as the characters are all connected in some way, and there are also past links that are revealed as the story goes on. it's not a bad one, albeit not exactly the strongest or best story, it's a decent nice one nonetheless

Acting: interesting, as i hadn't personally seen any of these actors/actresses before. but they did a pretty good job. the character for page was definately entertaining, as he has to pretend to have a speech impedimenet that causes him to endlessly stutter, which he manages to do to comical effect. actually i take that back, i recognize one person, but she was a minor role here, and was one of the 2ch members in densha otoko. that's the only one i recognized. but i'll be watching these actors/actresses cuz the were pretty good.

Music: there was some, it didn't really impact me that much, so not much to say here.

Satusfaction: ok, i really liked this drama. it was supposedly to be told akiba style, and it has it's weird moments, but it's quite good. it's not a high class drama with big name actors, it's kinda a b-drama, under the radar, but that doesn't take that much away from the fact it's still a pretty good drama that i enjoyed :).
