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

You know, I was a bit apprehensive going into this series after being told it inspired a lot of filth. Thankfully, it wasn't anywhere as bad as I thought it would be. Watamote is actually an alright comedy that is well directed, and that has a level of quality that was unexpected. It has a good amount of continuity, call backs, and most of its jokes land. With that said... The plot goes nowhere, nothing comes out of the few relationships the MC has, there's no resolution, and despite showing some character development, The MC doesn't grow. By the end, she's still the same perverted-anti social-chuunithat she was at the beginning. Also, despite most of the jokes landing, the humour is fairly formulaic, and for the most part, banks on the same set up for a lot of its jokes and gags, making it fairly repetitive. Had this gotten a second season, it would've needed to do more with its comedy and branch out, otherwise, it would have gotten old. Think Konosuba.

With all that said, I enjoyed my brief foray with this series. For what it is, it's alright.
