Review of WataMote: No Matter How I Look At It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!
This anime hits way too close to home and makes me cringe for all the right reasons. It reminds me (and hopefully others like me) that we can/are/used to be self-absorbed and still be weirdoes. That cringe behavior isn't only a statistical eventuality but an unfortunate commonality. Especially in our formative years. We all want to be characters like in our favorite shows, movies, or video games. But in reality, we are all a lot more like Tomoko. And thats the brilliance of this series. It revels in being honest and human, especially the parts of that that we would rather not be (not ina genocidal maniac kind of way, just in a 'jesus the s*** I did in High School...' sort of way).
TL;DR: This one aint for those who are afraid to look too hard at themselves. Otherwise, revel in the cringe with tomoko and I! REVELLLL
