Yuube wa Otanoshimi Deshita ne Review

Drama: Yuube wa Otanoshimi Deshita ne
Romaji: Yuube wa Otanoshimi Deshita ne
Japanese: ゆうべはお楽しみでしたね
Actors: Tsubasa Honda, Amane Okayama, Mamoru Miyano, Miwako Kakei, Ano
Director: Kiyotaka Taguchi

For a drama that was made to advertise a video game (Dragon quest) this is well made, nicely paced, cute romantic comedy between two individuals who share the same interest, playing dragon quest.

Meet Takumi Satsuki, played by Amane Okayama, a typical loser type character, an introvert who doesn't have experience towards girls. He enjoys playing Dragon quest where he role-plays as a female character. One day he met a character named Goro-san in game, where he was saved by him from a boss monster.

He eventually became friends with Goro-san, whom he respects a lot because he is nice and very reliable, so when Goro told him he is looking for a place to live, he immediately offers to share his place to him.

Little did he know Goro-san is a woman, Miyako Okamoto, played by Honda Tsubasa. Miyako is not just beautiful but also stylish, the type of woman whom you would not think she is a gamer. They start to live together and they discover that their real life personas are not quite the same as their game personas.

This drama is short, only has 6 episodes, 20 minutes each, so in total this could be a 2 hour movie, but since this a drama format, the pacing didn't suffer, thanks to that. A fun and fast watch drama, full of clichés yet cute moments, good chemistry between the leads and hilarious side characters lead by a well known anime voice actor Miyano Mamoru (Death Note, Steins Gate, Soul Eater, Durara, seriously this dude is everywhere lol).
