Review of WataMote: No Matter How I Look At It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!
Watamote overall has been proven to be a very worthy watch. Many people including myself have been able to connect themselves to the main character Tomoko in the sense of the frustrations that they have with feeling unknown to the rest of the world. Watching this series, with the relationship between Tomoko and her younger brother Tomoki it had me thinking about how I see my relationship with my own sibling and I, how even though they didn't get along they still share memories together and take the extra step to tolerate each other. Above that, the interactions between the background characters that Tomoko had observed showsperspective on how unaware some people may be of the others around them, if they are lonely and need company or even need somebody to talk to.
I particularly enjoyed the ending of episode 11 where the class representative in charge of the culture festival, Imae, noticed Tomko was lonely after her friend Yuu had left, then got in the mascot costume and offered her a balloon. When Tomoko went to take the balloon she pulled her in for a hug. That was one of the sweetest moments I've seen.
This anime also introduces very interesting music and makes several humorous references to other popular animes. If anyone is looking to watch something a little different this is definitely the series to watch.
