Anime-Gataris, a 12-episode comedy series centered on a group of high school otaku, has arrived on Crunchyroll with both English dub and subtitled options. The show follows Minoa Asagaya, who becomes obsessed with finding a forgotten anime from her childhood, leading her to join her school's anime club.
Produced by WAO World, the series delves into the meta-humor and surreal comedy often found in shows about anime fandom. It parodies various anime tropes and the otaku lifestyle itself, featuring characters who embody different facets of the fandom. While not part of a major franchise, it spawned a New Year's special, Animegataris: Yuku Toshi, Kuru Toshi.
With its finished status and relatively short run, Anime-Gataris offers a lighthearted and self-referential viewing experience for fans of school club comedies and meta-commentary on anime culture. The series provides a humorous look at the passion and sometimes eccentricities of anime enthusiasts.
