Review of WataMote: No Matter How I Look At It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!

I must say, the only problem I had was the Title. Yeah, I know: "A Rose by any other name something something Darkside" But there is a borderline, and I think Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui! vaporized that wall while reaching 88 MPH Beyond that, I have nothing but good things. If you read my Gunnm Manga Review, you'd know I said that Galley was my Wiafu without challenge for a good fifteen years.Well, Tomoko Kuroki has shaken my faith. Tomoko, my maybe Waifu, little sister, daughter...it's a confusing relationship.

I am sure I'm not alone in saying that I would have been her friend, if this took place in 2003, with late 90s Nostalgia and aesthetics,
flip phones, Emo/Scene/Punk movement and Linkin Park, MySpace, Bush Era/Post 911, N64/Dreamcast, yada yada. Quite a time be a Teen in that Era.

Tomoko talking to strangers is the most relatable and cutest thing to hear. She is just too damned adorable.

In many ways she was like me back then, though not everything. She is a lot more determined to my feeling fine being in the corner, for one thing.
Funny enough, she might ware the pants in the relationship, until she has one of her internal feakout moments.

This show gets the "Life is both Tragic and Hilarious" down to a T. For instance, her losing her marbles over her missing umbrella was nothing
but gold, because I've been there.

I have a feeling I am repeating the samething other reviewers have said. Which is obvious. Tomoko is us, for all the good and bad that entails.

So yeah, on my favorites list, definatly going to rewatch it, get the BluRay/4k, and the Manga.

Season Two will be a long time coming. If it ever comes. But we have a Season and a Manga so thats good enough for me.

Hope you got something out of this half ass review.
Fare well.
