overall it’s a 5 -

plotline:  Otaku no Video (”Fan’s Video”) is an outrageous mockumentary that combines the superb animation that made GAINAX one of Japan’s best-loved animation studios with truly strange interviews with “real animation fans.” The result is a thinly fictionalized history of GAINAX that segues into a truly strange SF adventure.Sit back and enjoy as a small band of Otaku (fans) set out to “Otakunize” the human race!

I didn’t want to finish both episodes so I finished 1, the combination with animation and reality is done quite poorly and sometimes is confusing to say the least, there’s no real characters as far as I could see at least not introduced in the 1st episode and I felt I wasted a lot of time waiting for some kind of plot to develop..
