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

I waited for a whole year and finally we have the OVA. The episode can seen from two perspectives: Aomatsu's and Tomoki's. These play out with the exact same scenario. A big thing to note about this is that we are finally able to see how Tomoki actually looks and sounds like to other people. Generic MC-kun's version of Tomoki is tall, mysterious, and has a voice you can totally have the hots for. This isn't groundbreaking, but I definitely like this interesting take on our usual chibi-fied and raspy-sounding MC we've kept track of for 12 episodes. Even if it wasn't noticeable, a new character is alsointroduced, which is Kotomi Komiyama, a friend both to Yuu and Tomoki back in middle school. She eventually becomes a character who'd constantly "hang out" with Tomoki in the current manga, so seeing her in this OVA made me happy.

There aren't a lot of cringe moments in this one, but this will definitely make you laugh and facepalm one way or another. The artwork is still the same, but there are some quirks in the animations that reminded me of Shaft (which isn't a bad thing). The OP and ED were amazing as always.

Overall, I think it's a good OVA and it just makes me crave for another season of this show.
