I watched for the lewds stayed for the story... seriously. I make it a point in watching that after watching something dark I need to watch something light after and so on. So, I went for this one.
I never thought that this anime would be great. It got me hook on until the second season and now I'm having butterflies, wanting to wait for October 26 of 2019 for the movie to come out. And it seems after watching the final episode, it left me wanting more. So, here I am going to read for the manga.
The anime starts with the male protagonist, Aki Tomoya, for the first time of his life finding the girl of his dream, the female protagnist, Kato Megumi. Of course it was a chance encounter and he have little recollection of what happened but what sparked in him, instead of love, it's dreams. A dream to make a dating simulator game with the girl of his dream as the 'main heroine.' Stating that his 'main heroine' will be the one to woo the hearts of many, make them all fall in love, and so and so or something like that. Since, he's an otaku, if I recall he says.
Days followed and school began with him still on his dream of making game, he went and asked for help from his personal friends, which are also otaku but hiding it since these two friends of his are big celebrity of their school. Eriri, a mangaka/illustrator famous for making adult mangas and such, and Utaha, a writer of a very famous light novel, Metronome in Love. Both of them, Tomoya wanted to be part of his game creator club.
On his way to AV room for meeting the two secret famous creators, Tomoya met with Megumi in the hallway. At first he was rude to her but after realizing Megumi was the girl of his dream, he quickly made her part of the team. All the while forgetting his appointment with his two friends.
The series continues on with Megumi becoming more and more the 'main heroine' of Tomoya's game, and the game itself becoming a reality.
...
On the side note, which is really an important aspect of the series, is the 'main heroine' of Aki Tomoya as well as the title implies have few instances of showing attachment to what is going on. Aki Tomoya scrutinized this thing about Kato Megumi, or her being bland, dull, boring and most of the time detached of what is happening around her.
Well, it's a given, since first and foremost she isn't an otaku, just some random encounter the main protagnist met during his delivery quest. But, there is I think something deeper. To be honest, even though the fan service for the three female heroine are great and all, it is the dullness and seeming detachment of Kato Megumi that got me 'fall in love to her.'
It is as Aki Tomoya said though, it's like a surpise quality about Kato Megumi, when the players/readers least expects it, its too late to realize that they've fallen in love with her. She may be dull and 'boring' but the charm is that she is cute as well as she's trying her hard for everyone. A certain reflection on Aki Tomoya, I guess.
The entirety of the season 1 and most of season 2, showed the compassion and determination of Aki Tomoya only too late was it clearly show that Kato Megumi was also there for him. She wasn't an otaku but she tried her hard to understand everyone as well as help in anything she could. For the most part of the game development group, Blessing Software, she was the only one not getting much attention but either way, she was there to help everyone, just like Aki Tomoya.
Only in the second season that was shown that somehow Kato Megumi have grown attached to the project that when she was left out hanging, she couldn't help herself but get mad at Aki Tomoya.
It was quite interesting that yes, she isn't an otaku and what the heck does she even have to do with all that's going on but still manages to support the team.
I guess, I have the type for this kind of waifus... the trying hard type, or something like that. Even though they are left to whatever and aren't that much needed they're trying their best for everyone.
Also another thing, or I might be wrong, it's only Kato Megumi that we as the viewers have that the least air time among the characters. But it was she who stayed...

"Why don't you hold his hands? Give him a hug? Tell him what you wanted to tell him. You're mad at him, right? I'm pretty sure you haven't completely forgiven him yet... but why hold it all?" a voice whispered in Kato's head.
"If I do, I can't become his main heroine anymore," Kato thought.
"Are you happy, Kato Megumi?" the voice asked.
"I don't know. But what I do know, Aki Tomoya has a dream. And I want to make sure he realize it."
"So why don't you comfort him? Right now, this is his weakness moment. Don't you think, a certain touch would be enough to lift his soul?"
"I know, but if I do... he can't continue on with his dream. He might even get mad at me. People in our school starts noticing me and then he gets flustered all about it. I can't be committed in anything else unless his dreams are realized."
"Even to your heart? Kato Megumi, you are kind... Is this why you wanted to stay with Aki Tomoya?"
"No, it's a random chance that he found me. But, it was he who showed me his dreams. It was he who told me to be the better me, even though I do not know how to be better at being myself. To be his main heroine, he would say. And in some way, it gave me a dream. My own dreams."
"Have you not thought you're just a tool to him? Something he'd easily throw away once you've done your part.."
"No. He may be rude at times but that's just being himself. He is honest. He cares for each of us, Eriri, Utaha, Michiru. He has a grand dream but not too imposing. He values us more. Even though I feel like a nobody for the past few month, he still managed to get me back. That's just how amazing he is. So, I don't think he'd ever leave me."
"You, understand him, right, Kato Megumi?"
"Yes."
"Do you love him?"
"His dreams are more important right now."
