I love this series - it's got everything you can want from an anime like this, it's funny, it's cute and a little bit crazy! I would highly recommend it to fans of comedy anime such as myself, you won't regret watching it!
i have not seen that much anime in my life, so when i went into himouto umaru chan i knew nothing about the plot or the characters. this anime is so heart warming ,cute and with a non linear story telling that i was stuck with it from the first episode, the character building in this anime is awesome, each episode we are introduced to new characters and after a while they all grow on you and you feel related to them. the main character is "umaru" who has kind of a dual personality, she is a brilliant , smart , hot, high school student when she is at school and in public, while at home she is lazy careless, gamer that is obsessed with cold drink and junk food. The brother of umaru is "taihe" who is a corporate worker, he is a guy who is serious with his life and work. and has to keeps up with all the silly things that umaru does.This whole situation makes quite a funny story of brother sister relationship. the voice acting is so authentic and great that the charters just feel so alive,umaru in particular,after a while i fell in love with all these characters and just wanted to be a part of umaru's universe. the animation is beautiful, music is beautiful, its a feel good anime, which focuses on little things in life that actually make life special. i loved every second of this anime, its my favorite anime.and now i am going to japan to buy all the plushy toys related to this anime.
This anime is just so awesome! When I first watched it, I felt like I was in a whole different world. I never got bored of it. Never skipped any second!! Its sooo cute!! I hope other otakus get to see this anime. So it really deserves 10/10. No less, well that's my opinion. But I really recommend this to people who love comedy, slice of life animes.
Sooo great. Its on my favorite anime s list. I Realy love it. Everybody should watch. Its not a shoujo.
Himouto tells a simple story and completely easy to follow, his first season is fine but the second season is when you introduce (more) secondary characters and their stories are developed in relation to Umaru, leaving characters as endearing as Kirie (personally my favorite). Hopefully a third part comes out because I want to see more.

A mangaka!"
