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

Oh, Watamote, how this show played with my feelings without a mercilessly. The ups and downs I went through, all over just twelve episodes. The story, basically goes nowhere. No huge plot development, no big grand scheme. But it's very relatable. This is one of the few shows where people can actually be like "gosh, that's so much like me." And they cringe at the thought of it. You feel sorry for her while laughing at her at the same time. It's a tragic story, covered up by light humor. The sad part is there are so many girls out there just like Tomoko, suffering.It draws you in even with the lack of story. Everyday things in Tomoko's life are made interesting.
The art is average. What can I say? Nothing remarkable. Nothing horrible. I did like Tomoko's different faces though, very entertaining.
The opening was okay. The ending was cute. Again, nothing extraordinary here. Hatsune Miku sung one ending which made me happy. Tomoko's voice actor did a good job.
The highlight of the show is Tomoko herself. Sure, there are a few side characters but this show is all about Tomoko. You hear her thoughts, see her world. She is really quite the character, definitely not boring, I will say that. She is hilarious, perverted, depressing, and it's wonderful yet horrible. So many mixed feelings, but you can't help but love her.
If enjoying means cringing every time Tomoko did something stupid (so all the time) and laughing my ass off while she does it, then yes I did. It was a good 12 episodes and kept me entertained. There isn't a very amazing ending, but really, what did we expect to happen? This is supposed to be like real life.
So I give it an 8, it is a very memorable anime but it is not perfect, not many animes are.
