Review of WataMote: No Matter How I Look At It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!
Anti-social and awkward Tomoko Kuroki is starting highschool. And although she has role played a high-schooler online and in video games...she's not too good at it in real life. Tomoko is a deviant otaku. She's into ecchi games, dirty manga and naughty audio books. She has dirty fantasies. She stares at girls' panties... She's basically the perfect girl 🤔 Her brother is the "cool" one. Typically in anime its reversed. The boy is the "loser" and the sister is the normal and popular one. The problem with the show is that Tomoko is the only character. She's fine, she'd actually be a perfect main character for a slice oflife romance anime, but the show needs more characters for her to bounce off of. She has a brother and a long distance girlfriend but they are barely in the show.
A romance or something would have been nice.
And despite Tomoko's dirty mind the fanservice in this show is really lacking.
Not much happens in the show.
I get it, its the day to day life of a shy awkward girl. But i still want to be entertained. The show is tagged as a comedy afterall. And there are scenes that are genuinely laugh out loud funny. The show needs more awkward funny and less awkward cringe.
Maybe the goal of the show is more to raise awareness so people can be more thoughtful of the quiet kid in school and understand what they may be going through internally.
I genuinely dont dislike this anime.
I just think its missing something to catch the viewers interest. A hook.
