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

Watamote is actually quite entertaing and can be funny at times. Its similar to anime such as Blend S or K-on because Watamote is meant to be a light hearted slice of life. Sometimes it hits the goal of being a light heated slice of life and other times its just painful to watch. The protagonist of this show is a 15 year old girl called Tomoko, a total introvert who can't even speak to people in the real world. And she wants to become hot and popular. This is the general plot/driving force of this show. And just as expected, she fails everytime. Thiscan sometimes be quite funny or really fucking painful and annoying. I did say earlier in this review that this is a light hearted comedy similar to anime such as Blend S or K-on and they succeed in there goals and so they don't have much charecter devoplment if none at all becuse its not needed. However with an anime like Watamote I did expect some character development because the plot. There is no charecter devoplement what so ever in Watamote, infact I would go so far to say the only that changes in the time. The Most charecter development tomoko has is in episode 2 after she makes a kinda says a word at the teacher before going home. which caused a magic rainbow of happiness moment. Watamote also tries to show some deep themes at times. They often work, other times they don't. The Show tries be to a light hearted comedy and a deep wholesome overcomming show at the same time and it just doesn't work at all.

Dispite all this Tomoko is one of the most relatable protagonists out there for the average anime fan and this often makes the show funnier. The opening is also pretty cool. In summary if you want a realtable show about an intovert failing at life, then you will enjoy it. If not then there isn't that much in it for you
