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

Too often do we see slice-of-life animes go the "forever alone" route by starring protagonists who moan about having no friends and yet at the same time being physically attractive and only lacking social grace when a "so clumsy and kawaii~" opportunity arises (cough cough Haganai). Watamote is different- it puts the spotlight on the harsh reality that social misfits and friendless high-school out-casts are that way for a reason through the main protagonist, Tomako. Watamote is hilariously charming, and at times frighteningly relatable. The only reason I can see someone would not enjoy this show is if they were a hard-core Otaku who likesto think of themselves more of a calm and cool Hyouka, Kodaka or Kyon than a socially-awkward Tomako.
