Chou Kadou Girl: Amazing Stranger
Unevaluated From Nona's perspective, she is 'Female Form Planetary Space Probe 9', an android space explorer who finds herself on a planet inhabited by giants, one of whom has advised her to pretend to be an inanimate doll in order to not freak them out. From the perspective of Bouida Haruto, a work-from-home computer programmer who claims to have no interest at all in women, Nona is an amazing 1/6 scale figure of an anime character, all the more amazing because she can think and talk for herself.

Comic Girls
Unevaluated Kaoruko 'Kaos' Moeta is a struggling teenage mangakka. So that she may learn from her peers, her editor suggests that she move to a special dormitory for female mangakka and Kaos reluctantly agrees. There she meets three fellow artists, Koyume (another newcomer), and Tsubasa and Ruki, two experts.

Comic Party
Watch One day, Sendo Kazuki and Takase Mizuki find themselves hijacked by their eccentric friend Kuhonbutsu Taishi (who calls them "My brother and sister") into going to a strange, crowded, noisy and smelly place--a doujinshi convention. (Think of this as a sort of Otaku no Video that deals with doujinshi rather than anime.)

Cosplay Complex
Watch Chako and her friends can't wait for the Cosplay World Series! Their East Oizuki Academy team has earned quite a reputation throughout Japan, and she knows they can also win the world championship. Only one thing stands in their way--a lack of interest. The team doesn't have an adult sponsor, and can't keep up enrollment. As a result, they must fight rivals, find new members who want more than to see the girls disrobe, and learn to change costumes in a flash.

Cue!
Unevaluated Haruna Mutsuishi is a minor voice actor who decides to try her luck at another VA studio, 'AiRBLUE'. She finds herself among 15 candidates in a newly formed outfit which has a strange business practice: it likes to start with completely inexperienced girls and train them entirely by itself.

Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai
Watch Kaoru is a serious office lady who's passionate about her job. Her husband Hajime, on the other hand, is a hard-core otaku who lives a nearly shut-in lifestyle. Kaoru worries about her husband, but they get along better than you'd think.

Denki-gai no Honya-san
Watch Umanohone (Horse Bone) is a comic book store in the electronics district. The story follows the lives of the workers at the store as well as their colorful customers, all of whom are hardcore fans of one genre or another.

Denpa Kyoushi - He Is an Ultimate Teacher
Watch Junichiro Kagami was once a brilliant student and, even before he graduated from high school, was a renowned theorist in the field of physics. Now he's little more than an otaku NEET. But his sister persuades him (using a baseball bat) to go accept a job back at his old high school as a teacher.

Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka?
Watch Bell Cranell is impressed by Aiz Wallenstein, a famous swordswoman who saves his life during a MMORPG-like dungeon adventure. The problems are that he's an absolute beginner, and also he already has a sort-of girlfriend, the Goddess Hestia.

Edomae Elf
Unevaluated Koito Koganei is a teenager who works as an attendant to the Takamimi Shrine. Rumors have it that a deity dwells within the shrine, but the actual resident is an immortal elf who found herself stuck on Earth some four hundred years ago. What's more, the elf is a total shut-in who won't go outside and has developed a taste for video games.

Eizouken ni wa Te o Dasu na!
Rent Midori, Tsubame, and Sayaka are an energetic trio of first-year high school girls who come together in the Eizouken (Video Research Club) to turn their anime dreams into a reality. Midori is nervous to create an anime alone. She meets Tsubame who appears to be a well-to-do girl but she really has artistic dreams of being an animator. Midori's best friend Sayaka has the financial sense to bring the project to fruition and joins the pair on their quest.

Eromanga Sensei
Avoid Masamune Izumi lives with his half-sister, Sagiri, who was traumatized by the deaths of their parents and lives alone in her room and seldom even shows herself to him. Masamune makes a decent living as an author of light novels, which he produces in cooperation with some talented artist known as 'Eromanga Sensei' who he has never met in person and contacts only via the internet. One day, Eromanga Sensei makes a brief appearance via video--and Masamune realizes that he may have met this person after all.

Evil or Live
Unevaluated Amid an epidemic of 'internet addiction', drastic steps have been taken to break the habits of young addicts. The 'Elite Re-education Academy' is a place which desperate parents may send their children to, in order to have their problems essentially beaten out of them via treatment that resembles Marine Corps basic training.
