Review of WataMote: No Matter How I Look At It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!
If you are awkward or shy, you will probably really like this anime. It’s really just an exaggerated, but simple story of an awkward girl. (spoiler free) Story - 8 The story is funny and engaging. It runs like a slice of life, so it’s not the most exciting, but it is still good. The main character is put in some interesting situations. Art - 6 Nothing wrong with it, and nothing outstanding either.Sound - 6
Same as art, there is nothing wrong with it but there are no tracks that stand out.
Characters - 8
The main character is a great character if you relate to her - I am definitely more shy, so I really enjoyed seeing that kind of character in an anime, presented more realistically than a stereotypical shy pretty girl. However, she can get a little annoying/cringe at times, but I think this almost adds to the realistic feeling, as we were all a little annoying at her age.
Enjoyment - 7
It was nice to watch in the background while I was doing something else. It was funny, but not funny enough to watch again.
Overall - 7
This is an okay anime. It’s enjoyable to watch and worth it if the premise seems interesting to you. There isn’t anything wrong with the anime, like plot holes or terrible characters, but there isn’t anything amazing either.
If you’ve been the shy awkward kid in school... give this anime a try!
