if you were thinking of watching
himouto umaru-chan

In anime, anything can happen. Absolutely anything, you name it. In this case we're not talking about the intense "this is messed up" kind of stuff. No, no, we're talking about a split personality or two-faced. Welcome to Himotou! Umaru-chan (My two-faced little sister). Now, heres what I know. You usually get the 'geek/nerd' (otaku) and the popular "perfect" people. However, in this case we see a popular, beautiful, perfect girl who is also an otaku. Welcome to Umaru-chan's life, a perfect girl who eats chips and does nothing but watch anime, play games and read manga all day, while having her handy older brother ... to do everything for her. The thing is, outside, nobody knows that she's a hardcore otaku, in fact, she keeps it a secret from everyone apart from her brother of course

Characters:

Doma, Umaru (Umaru-chan) - The most perfect girl in every single way. In looks and personality. Whilst Umaru is outside of her home, we see her as the perfect girl she pretends to be. Everyone will stop and admire her stunning appearance as she walks by keeping her otaku self inside. On the outside, we only see Umaru hang out one friend. Well, for the first 4 episodes or so. Her friend is called Ebina, nana, and not even she knows what her friend really is. You might ask yourself, why? why does she want to hide the fact that she's an otaku?. Well, that's because being an otaku is not a good thing to be, I know a few people who thought it was but it really isn't, especially in Japan. You see it a lot of times in an anime where some of the characters deny being an otaku. When we see Umaru in her home, she changes into a chibi looking character with an extremely cute character type. She has huge tantrums at her older brother for simple things like, not buying her potato chips, cola, and in one episode, over manga.

Ebina, Nana - Ah yes, another beloved character which you just can not hate one single bit. Ebina is of course Umaru-chans best friend. She's friendly, shy, cute as hell and self-conscious but just a delight to be around. She came from a different part of Japan therefore has a different dialect, she gets very scared of letting it out, and that's another thing that makes her adorable. Surprisingly enough, even though she lives in the same apartment block as Umaru and her brother she has no idea about her secret.

Doma, Taihei - Now, I don't know about you but...I was just begging for Taihei to notice how much Ebina-chan likes him. Even though she didn't say anything. Taihei is Umaru-chans older brother. He had already graduated school and is now working and taking care of his little sister. We get to see a little bit of his school life and friends in some parts of the episodes which I think was an amazing touch. He's a pretty simple guy and laid-back, but I wish he could find some kind of hobby just to make his character a little more interesting.

.:May contain spoilers:.
Kirie, Motoba - Last, but not least, we have Kirei. The first person to see Umaru-chan in her otaku chibi form. This character, in most scenes looks like a scary stalker, which she is a little. She is always caught staring at the outside Umaru-chan. But one day she happens to see her inner self when she goes over to her house. Of course Umaru falls into a panic and decides to call herself Umaru-chans little sister. So then, without knowing that this is the real Umaru-chan, Kirie falls in love with this small adorable otaku person. She happens to disliked Ebina-chan a lot as she sees her as a rival because Kirie admires the perfect side of Umaru-chan. She will never know that she has such a strong relationship with her, its a pity.

Overall:
Enjoyment - I think that this is a very enjoyable slice of life anime. They had taken a what could have been relatable character and turned it into something else which was more fun. The comedy is pretty good too, it throws in a few laughs. Although I have to admit, throughout the show, I was becoming rather jealous of Umaru-chan xD I think a lot of people can relate to that x)

Thanks for ready. Sorry about the long review C:

U M R Hai U M R Hai. UMA Janai yo UMARU! Hai!

That was the intro of the opening Kakushin Teki Metamaruphose. Oh I have just shrunk in size. Wait a second let me transform back into the original me.

Okay here we go. Let's not beat around the bush. Summer 2015 has been a rough season lately. Normally, Winter seasons and Summer seasons are always rough seasons for anime.

STORY (6):

The story follows Umaru with her brother Taihei who attend high school. Normally when Umaru goes home, she transformers to become a tiny person. Umaru is basically like Ant-man who transforms into a tiny ... person. However, this is not an action anime. This is a romantic comedy anime.

I would say that I did enjoy some parts while others not so much. I did like the way how Taihei tried to be a good brother to Umaru and take good care of her. I also find the final episode when they get a car, it made me chuckle.

There were parts I thought that they could explore more on like why Umaru whenever she is indoors, she becomes tiny.

ART (7):

The animation was good. Some subtle lip movements between the characters.

SOUND (7):

I did love the opening and ending song. The ending song is relaxing and I hope that I can listen to it day by day.

CHARACTER (6):

Every seiyuu did their best in their roles given. Especially Kirie Motoba who has frightening eyes just like Okapa from Plastic Nee-san. She is by far one of the most entertaining person in this anime.

Umaru when she is tiny, she is adorable and her voice had some charm in her. She also did her role well. Although at times, I find her quite annoying.

The brother Taihei was the most bland character, he was not charming or funny in anyway. He is just stoic. Although I did appreciate how Taihei was understanding towards Umaru.

Nana & Tachibana both didn't stood out to me in my opinion. But I did appreciate their character development with Umaru. However, to me they are bland as individuals.

I also did like Sylphyn the character who opens up with Umaru in the future episodes even though they were rivals. However, her character was close to being an interesting character desu wa.

CONCLUSION (6):

If you want a light-hearted comedy and just an anime to relax and have fun with, I would say give this anime a watch.

Although this anime didn't surprise me on how good this anime is and that there are more boring moments, I did appreciate a few moments and friendship moments. And for that I give this anime a 6 out of 10.

Let's put it this way, Umaru Chan was such a great show. Truly, it may be one of my top 5 contenders for the Anime of the year for me. All that aside know one thing, even if you DESPISE "Slice of Life" esc Anime, you need to give this one a shot. Outwardly, Umaru Chan looks like another slice of life Anime, with a younger sister and an older brother going through their everyday life (running through the brothers point of view). Though in many ways this can be true, it is buffered by the fact that Umaru herself, is a Otaku/Gamer/Food Junkie and ... childish in personality, in stark contrast to her school life, where she is know as one of the most beautiful girls around her high school, always gets great grades, and is just a genuinely nice person. Kind of like a lot of us, and the show (in a lot of ways other than what was just mentioned) is highly relate able, as a Gamer/Anime fan, though this leads me to my one gripe with the show as a whole...

To put it out there, Umaru LOVES her home lifestyle. So much so, that she would rather lounge around play video games, and drink a lot, (and I mean a lot) of Cola, and not even bother to look outside or to go to the Beach, or really anything. And yet, she puts on a facade, this veil of "Hey I am totally perfect and flawless, but that's all I am". For example, one episode, Umaru decides to go to the arcade, but to do so, she disguises herself in a entirely new outfit, and takes on a much more quiet and quaint personality. WHY? Why does she feel that this NEEDS to be her persona? Is it because she wants to feel better about herself? It couldn't be, she doesn't need to. Maybe to hold a social image? But even that seems pointless, because she enjoys her lifestyle so much, that it really shouldn't bother her. As someone who used to have this problem, I used to think that I would be frowned upon for my interests, and looked at weird by my friends. But, even then, I just brought it up, and sure enough my friends were pleased to hear that I was enjoying myself, and many later started to enjoy the same things I did. To me, that doesn't seem too far fetched for Umaru and her friends, as her friends, really aren't exactly "popular" or perhaps better worded, Overfilling on the friends beverage. I can't imagine a even remote possibility were her friends would up and abandon her, especially for loving and appreciating her and her brother as much as they do. And on top of that, as an even bigger plot hole, why does she literally change the way her body looks? As of current, (and no, I haven't read the manga) there is no logical explanation as to why or how she morphs to her chibi form. And it is not just a viewer exclusive thing, the actual characters in the show can clearly tell that she is a small, and hyper girl, but cant ever tell that it is anything more than Umaru's little sister (A Cover Plan). Though I understand that the Manga may contain more detail as to why this occurs and who can see her like this, it is still no excuse to not include it in is's Anime adaption.

All of that said, all of the problems with the shows story, are quite frankly, irrelevant. Shocking as it is, Umaru Chan is by far one of the best slice of life Anime to come out in a long, long time. Episode to episode, the show remains hilariously relate able and entertaining, while also taking us through the big times of the year, and various experiences, as slice of life Anime should. And for that, I can push aside MASSIVE gaping plot holes until the next season of Umaru comes (if or ever, which I REALLY hope it does). If you are looking for an Anime that can give you a intriguing and amazing story, you won't find it here for sure. However, if it is entertainment and overall charm in a easily digestible episodic style you seek, Umaru Chan is by far the best place to go. And my favorite part of the show, aside from the hilarity and shocking moments of reliability, is that AMAZING opening. For once, the studio knew they had a good opening, they stuck with it, and REALLY nailed it. The tones and lyrics express the Anime very well, and the hyper overall song, with a subtle drop in the middle really reflects Umarus personality. To be totally honest, Umaru Chan's opening has to be one of my absolute favorites, of all the Anime I have seen.

Final thoughts/TLDR: Umaru Chan is a great Anime and succeeds at what a "Slice of Life" Anime should, and more. Though it has massive plot holes, it is still worth the watch, and will be a delight for any Gamer/Anime fan.

I gave this anime 6.9/10, to be exact, which is approximately a D. This anime is a pretty standard comedy, not unlike Lucky Star, but all the same, I found it to be an enjoyable watch. This series, however, feels as if it needs to shove in "character development" and "drama", which feels out of place in this kind of show and is executed terribely. In these kinds of episodes, it feels like they are trying to be Welcome To The NHK, but it ends up feeling more like the "dramatic" episodes in Hetalia, which are also out of place. The only reason to watch ... this show is to see the himouto version of Umaru be lazy, push her brother around, and make Kirie her servant. It just feels annoying when they try to push the whole "she's living a double life, what will she do" thing because it just never feels compelling and perfect Umaru's character is bland and unexciting. Nonetheless, I really liked the side characters in the show and there was ony one that I wasn't too fond of. I thought Kirie's relationship with Umaru was interesting and funny, bringing an interesting dynamic to Umaru's "himouto" situation. Sylphyn, too, was enjoyable and felt like the only character to get any real development. Ebina, though, was a classic moe blob; she was forgetable, bothersome, and didn't add much to the show. The only thing I liked about her was her backstory about how she moved to Tokyo from Akita and she had to learn to talk like the people in Tokyo do and how she felt embarrassed about where she was from. Her accent sometimes came through when she was excited or eating familiar food, which was pretty cute. I would say that if you liked Lucky Star and are curious about the idea of a girl who acts perfect and public, but is a lazy, selfish shut-in when she comes home, then you might enjoy this anime.

This is the worst show I have ever watched (also the worst manga I have ever read): it's shallow, annoying, repetitive and contains nothing good from either characters or plot. I will explain my statement in next paragraphs.
The show is about an excellent and popular schoolgirl who behaves completely different when she returns home. She turns into a spoiled brat who does nothing but playing games, reading manga or watching anime. Her brother lives with her, despite being older and more responsible, he lets her do whatever she wants and fulfills her demands.
I don't feel there is any story in the show, all ... episodes follow this pattern: Umaru wants something (a game, magazine, etc) and annoys her brother to buy it for her, her brother refuses and she starts a mess, brother gives up after a while and says "it cannot be helped", so he buys her what she desires and that's the end. The show is centered on Umaru, all the characters and events develop around her and go in her favour, there is no feel of progress or story moving on, just Umaru using others to get what she wants and things go where they were at start of the episode.
Art and sound are the only elements which weren't horrible, but they aren't much good either. Art is basic and nothing special, also sounds and music aren't memorable but not bad.
The show lacks in character customization terribly. The protagonist is displayed as cute, while having nothing but bad traits: arrogance, manipulation, disrespect, childish behaviour, sloth, etc. Other characters are far more likable than her, some of them have quirky characteristics or seem nice people, but in the end no matter what they stand for, they just adapt to protagonist's desires like it doesn't contradict their morals. No matter how many times it seems there may be some progress when characters socialize, in the end Umaru jumps in and ruins the atmosphere, she is the main reason why this show is terrible. Question is why would anyone make a character like that and set it as a protagonist, also put in a show with no story at all...
The only enjoyment I had was when some characters faced each other and there were few funny moments, until Umaru came and turned everything about herself. What is the purpose of the show? The protagonist was nothing but a nuisance which removed every element of comedy. The show would have a point if Umaru changed in the end, to realize her behaviour, but no, her brother and other characters let her use them to get what she wants. It is annoying to see someone making a fuss over a toy, especially when the other person is trying to get some sleep or returned after stressful day at work. It wasn't funny at all, I felt bad for her brother having to deal with her... I hoped he would teach her lessons how to become a responsible person, but no, he is a weak character who talks about responsibilities but lets her get away with anything she does to him.

In the first episode, this anime makes you laugh until the end.

10/10 for the story

The animation is good and go to flow of the main story of the manga even it was randomly mixed up.

10/10 art and sound

The story is unique and you will get turn your attention in the series truthfully.

... 10/10 for uniqueness and the characters individuality and its enjoyment

This is a new version of comedy series of the 21st century. More moral lesson yet comedy always show up.

Good job to the creator of this story. Hope it will have another season because of its awesomeness and good quality and educated lessons.

This anime is actually related to many people. It taught us about the laziness of average teen in the world but then they would just laugh and said "She's really like me lol". Well, I'm not judging, since I came here to review.


Story (6/100)
It's really sad when the story is about double faced high school girl that very contradictory at school and home. But then I find it interesting when she must be willing to act different when her friend is nearby even worse is actually her neighbor. It's so funny though.

Character (8/10)
The personality of the character can be change drastically. I actually should give ... the credit to the seiyuu. Even if the main character is smart and has many talent, she's not arrogant and keep humble. I like it when she only think about what should she does at home rather than think negatively about others. I only find it annoys me when her brother spoiled her like a baby geez...

Overall,I recommend this anime both for fun and introspect yourself haha~

Pretty much the Naruto of Slice of Life.
The fans adore it like it is Jizzus Christ's Seventh Cumming, the people who don't like it see it as Chernobyl or Fukushima.


I mean, I liked it.
It had a few jokes which made me audibly exhale oxygen particles via my sinuses. But it's not really a good sign if you keep persistently checking your social medias while watching the show, which is what I did.

Anyway, if you like semi-bland jokes every 10 minutes and semi-likeable characters with semi-personalities you've come to the semi-right place. Isn't that semi-right, voices in my head?

Haha, yeah.

This one was definetly one of the best comedies from this season, no wonder why it was the most popular anime in Japan. While it has pretty childish humor it makes it work really well with lots of references and hidden jokes. The characters were really cool and lively and even tho It didn't have plot AT ALL it was fucking hilarious sometimes. It's a pretty cool slice of life and it really gets you into a good mood. Totally recommended.

PD: Guys, let's be honest here, lots of people hate Chibi-Umaru, even I do! but we gotta realize that we are JUST. LIKE. HER.

I'm gonna be more on the critical side here and say, there is no way this garners above a 7.5 average.

Plot:
There really isn't one. The really odd thing is there really could have been one but it seems that it was sacrificed in favor of repeatedly representing the otaku-ish antics of the main character, Umaru. Sure, you could give it the benefit of the doubt and say "well it's a slice of life" BUT at least other SOLs are more diverse. Each episode is almost literally the same thing with very little variation as time progresses (the only real variation being an increase of ... a few characters in the show). But you'd think there'd be at least some explanation as to why Umaru had to be the one to develop a persona in public vs private.

Art:
Can't complain much about this besides the fact that every character except Taihei, Umaru's brother, seems to have one specific expression on their face most of the time. I guess it's like, that specific expression exemplifies their personality or something. It's not terribly annoying but it's noticeable.

Sound/OST:
Catchy OP, never bothered to watch up to the ED at all honestly. I can't remember anything except the op though, it matches umaru's "true" identity quite well, energetic and upbeat.

Character:
If you're looking for character development, don't look for it in this show. You'll know everyone's personality the first couple of times they show up. You'll know who is about to do what when they make a decision. Only Umaru hides her real one from the public but almost blows her cover a few times like a true himouto.

Enjoyment:
Meh. I have a terrible sense of humour so yeah, I giggled a few times. But this is a show you can skip ahead a few minutes of and know exactly what's going on. I wish I hadn't watched the whole thing though but I'm a sucker for cute bs.

Overall:
Don't be like me and watch the whole thing. watch half of it and you'll get the gist of the show, then drop it.

Himouto! Umaru-Chan

Story 6: This is an anime of this girl(Umaru) who is beautiful when she is in public, but when she is at home.. oh god. A perfect girl when she is in public, but when she is inside her home she is a potato chip.

Art 6: I think it's good, especially when it comes to drawing their face reactions. Other than that nothing really stood out for me.

Sound 5: Intro song is so cute and funny, the rest of the tracks are very boring, no tracks really got my attention.

Character 4: Development is very basic, most of ... the character stay the same throughout the whole anime. The brother.. boy if you want to talk about patience this man has it. For a second I thought Umaru was going to come out at the end of the season, but I guess not.

Enjoyment 4: I think it was fun, but it started to get really boring. It was just the same thing over and over. Really no point sometimes.

Overall 5: Honestly don't know why it got a 2nd season. I wonder if the 2nd season is just going to be the same thing as this one. I think it was a cute idea, just thought they could of done more. Maybe like Umaru telling someone her real identity might of changed the story.

Thanks for reading :)

This anime made me have mixed emotions, and here's why:

Umaru Doma, is a popular, smart and cute girl in public, but when she returns home she is a spoiled and lazy neet.
The first few episodes entertained me and I thought it was quite funny too, but as the anime continued it was just the same thing repeated.
However, there was some funny and relatable jokes put in there too, and I have to say the anime was quite pleasant to look at and the art style was nice.
I do like this anime but at the same time it's boring, however I did really like the character ... Umaru, it's hard to explain.
I would like to have seen more of the plot itself than Umaru being lazy all day.
That's all I really have, hope this helped.

I shamefully tried to rate it better than it is. I mean, I want to appreciate its practical nature that the main character does not turn out how I wanted it to be. In fact, I don't really know how to not write any spoilers because if I say why I disliked it, I will spoil the adventure of watching the anime. It is a happy, undeveloping anime. Very cute characters, but almost as if they all have the same face, but different hair, outfits and voices. It actually increasingly annoyed me as I kept watching and was very upset at the end because, well, ... I can't spoil it. If there was a better second season, I would appreciate having watched these 12.

I normally don't like SOL anime with strong characters and I'd rather watch more human, normal characters such as in Nichijou and Non Non Biyori. However, I really started to like this show from the first two episodes.

Alas, that all fell apart during episode 3, 4, and 5. The story did not evolve with the pace we were introduced to in the first two episodes, and it became stale. It could've been a solid anime, and I honestly gave it a 6 from the first two episodes (which is really good)...

Himouto! Umaru-chan shows us the life of a perfect highschool girl in public and an ... otaku in private. Initially this is a fun idea. We see how she handles the changes but this gets tiresome quickly.

As for the story, there pretty much is none. The art and animation is just fine, and the sound isn't really interesting at all. There aren't any songs I can remember. As for the characters, the overly emotional reactions to mundane situations get annoying. "But you like Nichijou, you should love overly emotional reactions!". Well it's not the same. The reactions just aren't appropriate for this show and they quickly cause me to disassociate with the characters.

I guess the only thing good to come from this show are some smug anime girl memes, but that's about it.

Current Anime;
(Himoto! Umaru-chan.)

(My first Review) THERE ARE A FEW SPOILERS IN THE TEXT! Read the Summary in the end for no spoilers!

Hello, I would like to make a little summary of my thoughts about this anime (Himoto! Umaru-Chan).

Pros.
Personally, I really enjoyed it, this is very comfortable, but what exactly do I mean by the statement "comfortable".
Let me describe, The animations were nicely drawn. There wasn't a lot of story, which makes it easier to watch for new people watching anime.
... The characters are all easy made, you understood what all of them was like the first time you saw them, (kirie is an exception).
The characters personalities are very nice, Bomber is fun and really just an awesome character. Umaru... are there even words to describe the cuteness of her Chibi form. Ebina most "fan service" but also cute.
Some few moments which had me laugh.

Cons.
Can get extremely boring.
It feels like there is love between "Ebina x Taihei" Would really improve to an overall better story. Might come in season two!
Basically, the story is the worst thing in the anime!
Some of the characters are just way to predictable.

Summary:
Bad story and somewhat predictable characters(not all of them)
Cute feel towards every episode which makes you happy and enjoy it, also just love the chibi form of Umaru!
It's weird because I enjoyed the characters but also felt like they were too simple.

Ok. Here we go with one of my very first slice of life anime( This review will contain spoilers)-

Himouto! Umaru-chan is a show that resolves around a highschool girl named Umaru,her brother and her friends. It's a slice of life comedy anime that tries it's best to be fun and pretty much succeeds in that matter.

If you’re here,it means you already know about the characters and a little bit about the show itself. But I'm still gonna go over those things. Because,why not?
Let's start with our female protagonist Umaru. Around her friends and other people,our MC is perfect in every sense. She's the class topper,great ... at sports,interacts with people a lot,nice towards everyone and she's also good looking. In other words,she's a very likable person in the outside world.
However,when she's inside her house with her brother,things get a little different. Outside,She looks like any normal highschooler. But inside the house,she turns into this little girl with a hamster hoodie that looks like a kindergartner. Why? Well,I guess,BECAUSE ANIME!
Upon entering her house,Umaru becomes a Slackster gamer and an otaku who spends the entire day watching anime, reading manga,playing games and eating snacks. Her hard working nerd brother,Taihei looks after her and does all the chores after coming back from work. He also listens to all her demands and tries his best to keep her happy. Even when Umaru is throwing a tantrum over the weekly jump or anime merch,Taihei just can't seem to say 'NO' to his sister.

One of the reasons why I enjoyed this anime so much is beacuse it's like an escape route from reality and it reminds me of how much of a cheeky little brat I was as a kid. The show is fun it's own way. After watching a certain episode(I don't remeber which one it was), I just realised,"Hey,I just watched a kid eat snacks for 10 minutes and I still enjoyed it." Well, I guess that's just how it is with slice of life anime.

Now,let's talk about some of the throwbacks in these types of stories. The show kind of loses It's pace when it steps out of It's primary concept. Plus,it can also get a bit repetive when it runs out of freash ideas. But the industries pretty much don’t care about these things. As they'll just brand the fan-favourite character and make money out of the merch.

So,in conclusion,I'd say Himouto!Umaru-chan was a fun and entertaining show. Was it something groundbreaking? No. Does it need to be groundbreaking? No. It's fun and enjoyable in it's own way and that's good enough.

This anime is honestly one of my favourite anime ever. It may be because shes just this adorable little thing that is just so relatable. I've never been so obsessed with a character or a concept in my entire life, but I love the idea of "switch". Its not a very good anime if you want depth and meaningfulness, but it is hilarious and adorable and just something to keep your mood up, yaknow?

I think its a very light-hearted anime which is very simple and easy to watch. The characters are very relatable and quite adorable too. I would say to watch this if ... you're feeling down, or if you have some time on your hands.

I honestly thought when watching this, the anime would be complete trash and I wouldn't be able to stand Umaru; but in the end, I actually really like it.

Yes I agree, there are a lot of times where Umaru was a complete brat and was utterly selfish, but its different than when watching someone like Kirino from Ore no or The Familiar of Zero where the main girls are physically abusive and very mean while Umaru acts like a child.

I really like the secondary characters as well; especially Taihei and Ebina; despite some annoying attributes, I grew to love them. But what I love most ... is that Umaru truly cares about her friends and is not as a facade, which is a major plus cause I can't stand it when one treats her friends like trash but fakes kindness.

I do recommend this anime to those who want a similar experience to Ore no but with more likable characters

Yes, this is not a real world, but yet it is, ute things doing cute stuff, but then again, bad things happen, this is a story of people affecting their environment, indirectly, changing the people around them to the better. I really was expecting some fan service but we were clean after all, I'm actually glad they didn't include such emphasis, and hey, let's move to the bigger picture now.

- Art (8/10):
While not exceptional, it really holds up to this kind of shows, the animation is not bad by any means. the character designs were on point, no excessive use of still imagery, so that's ... a plus.

- Characters (7.5/10):
There aren't so many characters, to be honest, but for this short show, it does have some excuses, but, the characters that we have do differ a great deal, their personalities and even design is enough to distinguish them apart, but weirdly enough, there was a lack of character development for the main cast, in the other hand, side characters did change throughout the story, the likes of Ebina and Kirie.

- Story (6/10):
Absolutely nothing remarkable, vague even for a slice of life anime, the story doesn't progress, but then again it shouldn't, the score would have been much lower if it weren't for some serious moments every now and then, like the past between Taihei and that girl from his work...etc.

- Sound (8.5/10):
Yes, if there is something I absolutely adore in this show, is the adorable itself soundtracks, those little symphonies that play in the background ahhhh, man, it really adds in a big difference.
The opening is very, very good, I can also say that it was one of the reasons I even stuck to this show in the first place, The ending while not very bad, does get familiar.

- Enjoyment (8/10):
I've had this on my to-watch-list for a very long tile now, and as any of the shows that are still collecting dust there to this very day, I was afraid that it would turn into a complete disappointment, but NO!!
Literally, a very cheerful comedy slice of life, I mainly enjoyed the huge among of references, especially the “One Piece” ones.

- Overall (7.6/10):
Would I recommend this? Not for everyone, It's for those people who had watched enough anime, read enough manga to be able to get that cheer among of references because honestly, the good part of the comedy in this show comes from the crazy references to other works.
