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

Yeah, yeah, art is decent, nice effects, cool references, awesome voice acting... Let's get to the main part: This show made me want to kill myself - and that's a good thing. You see, any emotional impact is great, especially after all these junkfood romcoms and absolutely forgettable shounen garbage. I've finally felt something. WataMote tries to be a comedy, and there are a couple of occasional chuckles here and there but for me, personally, it's a haunting, gloomy and the most depressing drama, for it's a freaking rollercoaster of losing, failing, being completely devastated by awkwardness of circumstances. Man, it's so actually sad I can't wrap my head aroundit.
Ok, let'me put it like this:

If you've been at least once in a situation which Tomoko faces every day - then you would find your yourself on the same wavelength as this most brave and positive girl.

Why's that?

Well, what makes Tomoko an absolutely amazing and unique human being is that after all these mishappenings she doesn't burst out in tears or go postal (what would any sane and normal person do after what she's been through) - but she keeps on trying, giving life another chance. When I would just hang myself in a closet or put a bullet through my temple - she keeps on waking up, going to school, sitting in a class surrounded by people who don't give a flying f whether she's here or not.

And here brother is the meanest and most aggressive brat ever seen - but still she's willing to get along with him!

It's depressing, it really is - this show captures the feeling of loneliness and urge to be love so good I'm about to cry like a little girl.

But you know, now matter how lost or forgotten you may feel - just think of Tomoko. If she can do it (not right away, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed she'll find what she's looking for) - then you most certainly can too.

9/10 and Johnny's seal of approval.
