Watashi ga motenai no wa dô kangaetemo omaera ga warui!

This anime is about a girl who has no friends at school, and does her best to try to make friends. The only problem is, she can't talk to people without getting extremely nervous. She has just started high school, and wishes to be popular. This anime includes some hilarious plots and subplots. It is often relatable, and most people will be able to empathize with her. She looks on the internet for ways to become popular, but all of them hilariously backfire and she is left back where she left off. It's a hilarious anime (yet sometimes inappropriate) that I definitely recommend for those who want to feel better about their own lives.

I watched Watamote in one day. I really like the concept I just find it strange how this girl is in MIDDLE SCHOOL and has a thing for her brother and has very sexual thoughts. This show doesn't do it like Big Mouth does. It's not satirical it's just flat out fan service most of the time. I understand middle schoolers especially have an influx of hormones increasing sexual thoughts but the way they again, execute it is beyond uncomfortable. If the protagonist was a guy no one would watch this show or they'd make fun of him. Since the protagonist is a girl she's "cute" and "quirky". I do appreciate some aspects of this show though, it's relatable in a way. If you can ignore the uncomfortable scenes then I'd give it a watch. I just wish it wasn't such a big aspect of it though.

I saw an article on Kotaku from a "writer" claiming this anime to be incredibly mean about people with social disorders. He went on and on about how these things shouldn't be made fun of, and that the creators are generally mean people. What he also mentioned, was that this show is a comedy. In true false humility, someone has taken it upon themselves to get uppity about jokes. Again. The problem isn't that these things could be considered offensive, it's that this isn't the type of comedy that appeals to some people. Now about the actual anime, and not why I enjoy the creators. I didn't find it very funny, the jokes were okay but never really stood out to me. The only reason I'd remember this is because of the kotaku article. The faces were funny, I've often taken screen shots and photoshoped them into inside jokes which I would distribute among my friends. Other than that, the show was surprisingly boring. In the end, I appreciate the idea more than the product.

This show is somewhat difficult to rate and recommend, mostly because it has very specific and mature qualities, rather than being straight up exciting like some expect out of anime. It's about a bitter, socially awkward 15 year old girl that tries her hardest to fit in and become more sociable, but her fear and misunderstanding of people cause her to fail at it over and over again.

If you are the person that gets a lot of second hand embarrassment from witnessing awkward situations you are in for quite a ride. Feeling strongly related to the heroine, personally, this is what attracted me to the show so much. If it can make you feel things, than you know it is real, relevant, and it is refreshing to experience it from a third point of view. The people who made the show understand deeply what it means to be a shut-in.

If that sounded scary, don't worry! The whole show is done in a light comedy tone. If it wasn't, watching it would be downright unbearable. There are a ton of hilarious references to other popular anime.

I would strongly recommend it to people who experienced some degree of social anxiety while growing up, or people who want to understand it better.

Watamote is full of comedy and has a unique introverted funny protagonist who is a girl and she wants to be popular, to be loved by everybody,she also wants a boyfriend .This slice of life and comedy based anime has a wonderful plot and a perfect storyline. You will not detest it. I guarantee it.
