Review of WataMote: No Matter How I Look At It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!
I always enjoy a good anime that is about otakus and loners but If you were expecting anime like NHK, Jellyfish princess, Boku wa tomodachi or My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU you will be disappointed. The Bad Story The story here is none existent. The anime is episodic like the western cartoons where you can probably start watching at any point without having to worry if you have missed anything. Character The main character is a loner who wants to be popular. She does not develop throughout the entire series and stays the same she was in the first episode. That right there is a big redflag for any anime series that has a main character like the one in this series. There is an error in the description of the series. The main character is not a shut in since she has no problems going outside or going into crowded places if she wants to. Also i don't think this should be classified as a shounen anime since i don't think boys will be able to relate to this character as easily as girls.
The girls and boys that are her age have personalities that are not believable and to make it worst, they all have the same personalities, have the same likes, dislikes and the only difference is their appearance.
Enjoyment and Conclusion
I found myself bored while watching this series but I kept on watching since i was killing time. This series had allot of potential and if they were not so focused on making this into a humorous story, they could have tried putting this character into a believable world and allowing her to develop into a proper member of society.
