Review of WataMote: No Matter How I Look At It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!
Watamote is very a very enjoyable show. It is basically about the trials a girl with social anxiety have to go through trying to be the most popular girl in school. And of course she utterly fails at everything she does. As someone that does have social anxiety, i relate to this so much. They however do exaggerate things a little but that is what makes this show so fun to watch. Also, the occasional crude humor helps too. I personally believe this how is suppose to be targeted at people who have some form of social anxiety as they are the ones who canrelate to the show the most.
STORY:
There isnt much i can say in terms of story as this show is every episodic. But i can say that each trial she goes through, to me at least, is written pretty well.
ANIMATION:
This is the part where i believe most people think was done marvelously. The animation and the way the character is drawn fits perfectly to the tone of the situation and how the character feels. Even in scenes where nothing spectacular is going on, lets say walking, the way it is depicted is extremely visually pleasing. I have to mention the opening as it was done really well too. You just have to see it to fully understand how well it was done.
SOUND:
The voice actor for Tomoko ( the main character ) was SOOOO GOOD. The voice she gives for each different emotion sounds so distinct. I remember a scene where Tomoko is acting all cold and mighty, and the change from the scared little girl, to the mature and 'i dont care about you' girl so just sooooo (Y)(Y)(Y). The background music for different scenes also fits the atmosphere really well.
I REALLLY enjoyed this show as i was watching it. Seeing Tomoko fail at everything and getting embarrass at small little things is just so funny. Though sometimes i really pity her too. I've seen in wiki that when it was airing, people debated whether it was 'a comedy or a study of neurosis'. Im like its just a freaking comedy anime. Chill~~ Anyways, overall i give this show a 8/10, and think that you should definitely check this show out just to give yourself a good laugh.
