Review of WataMote: No Matter How I Look At It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!
I get why this show doesnt get a higher rating. Maybe because most people cant relate to Tomoko As someone who went through social anxiety during primary school, I found a lot of the scene relatable, hence I laughed so hard thinking about how true was that and almost cried after remembering how hurtful those times were. Sharing some of it here (its not like anyone cared anyway), like how many times Tomoko try to be non-existent in the class, difficulties to speak a word to someone, dreaming about how awesome it would be if she could have fun with friends, afraid of the word "Group" or"Pair" at school, have these weird ideas about how to fit-in, I literally been through all that. I dont know if someone who experience 'normal' school experience could understand all this.
As how the season 1 ends, I guess there are small group of my classmates realised this and started to be friend with me during my final year at primary school. Despite being awkward and hot-headed most of the time, they never left me out to play with them.
Had a hard start at highschool since we all went to different schools. But somehow I managed to break out from the situation and able to experience school life like everyone else. I become the head of multiple clubs, joined the student council and managed to experience love stories as well which I couldnt imagine before
Perhaps my experience is the reason why I felt so close to this series. Not many comedy anime series managed to capture those moment hilariously and depressingly better than Watamote.
