Do not, I repeat, do not waste your time watching Moteki.

While Mirai Moriyama does a good job acting, the protagonist is ultimately an unlikable manchild who throws away every open opportunity for romance, but then spends the rest of his time lamenting how horny he is. After a promising first two episodes, the plot dovetails into one girl's route and pretty much stays there for the duration of the show. What would have worked nicely, either as a formulaic 'girl of the week' or a full on romantic comedy drama, instead finds a halfway house - the plot is convoluted, the protagonist can't decide between sex and love, and ultimately ends up with neither. Maybe the movie has a decent resolution but I probably won't see it. I would say don't waste your time with this one.
