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

Watamote goes about a lonely girl who wants to become popular or, more specifically, close to others. There's mostly one character here who wanders around thinking about what happens to her. Motoko Kuroki is one of the strangest characters I've ever seen. This makes the show very special. It does not revolt around a proper story but a series of tries and crazy gags. The good thing is that most of this absurd situations have never be seen. Pace gets slower at summer break but keeps being interesting. The main character is very good made. Motoko happens to be a lovely character who can get happy about saying aword to someone. (What I don't really get is why his brother is a bit of a dork). With her being so shy, you understand some of her twisted ways of thinking, as she can be a little evil. There is potential for further development here (there could be an struggle).

Music goes pretty well along with the show, with weird melodies or sounds becoming deformed depending on the moment, and the art finds many oportunities in order to make a visual impact.

Sometimes humor can be a bit black or mean. But you have keep in mind that Motoko has one of the most interesting and eventful student lives in the world.

Also, it is evident that it is not her fault for not being popular. People in Motoko's class must all be shallow and ignorant: to have such a treasure in your class and not knowing it!

There's also plenty of references to another shows which can entertain you.

Good:
A great main character.
It is original.

Bad:
It doesn't really have an ending, it's more of a continue. Last scenes are a bit more crazy than usual.
