Series in one sentence:
Two kids who rarely hang out or speak to each other are supposedly in love.
Series in more sentences:
An introverted, socially inept anime fan suddenly gains the attention of the most beautiful girl in school and agrees to date her for the 6 months she's still in the neighbourhood.
While the two are very different and have little to bond over, they enjoy each others company, even though Tsutsui's social skills makes maintaining a relationship hard and misunderstandings are unavoidable.
What a great story on paper, but as I kept on watching, my tolerance for the direction and characters got tested.
3D Kanojo's major flaw is that the episodes are usually centered around conflict. It's always about characters fighting or getting disappointed with each other, seldom you saw them hang out in pleasant, leisurely settings. If they did, something negative had to transpire prior or afterwards.
Tsutsui was unbearable at times. He kept making the same mistakes and would always refrain from telling his girlfriend/friends what was on his mind, and instead, gave them curt demands not to associate with him anymore without any context.
There was this consistent emotional distance between him and his girlfriend, and the few times they kissed I don't consider a fix. Very often one of them would lament about how long ago it was they last visited each other, so where does this affection they supposedly have for each other come from? When and how did they bond if they hardly hang out?
Only in the girl's last month does Tsutsui put in the effort, which is beyond insulting. He wasted her time every other day by doing nothing, except chase her away because of whatever overdramatic reason was haunting him that week.
Tsutsui's passiveness wouldn't even be bad, if, for example, the story didn't take this "emo otaku" route, but just argued he was autistic. Him being an otaku was a pointless addition to his character and every scene where he talked about wanting to see an anime or buy a video game could've easily been left out or replaced by something else.
