God.. that review was BRUTAL. Hate it when people review series waaaaayy too early.
After the first ep I wasnt really high on this, but this week's episode actually made me feel better towards this series.
His review got deleted xD

So far, it seems he haven't watched the episode 3 yet. But anyone can have a right to decide what to watch or not. And anyone can have a right to agree or disagree with his way of watching an anime, too. That is all right.

God damn it onii-chan, stop being such a fucking pushover.

Just abandon Umaru and make this romcom with Ebina.

I can relate to Ebina-chan being heavy-chested and all and getting teased for it. I don't have her accent though.

I still like Umaru-chan better. I tend to lean towards female characters with smaller chests. Most of my girlfriends had smaller chests too, I had a few that breasts which were the same size or bigger than mine. Enough talk about chests.

I fucking love her Akita accent.

Saw this GIF and started watching the anime because of it ^^ but so far it's they only hilarious thing about it :S

all the kinda funny and cute things get ruined by umaru's tantrums for me...I can't stand that kind of thing, it makes me furious, but that's probably a personal thing :/

Still it's only ep02 for me, if I can't get into it by the time I caught up to 04 it's a drop for me :/

Narratively proved sympathetic episode, even if the plot was not very interesting, but as it is a slice of life, managed to be substantial. Funny dialect of Ebina, pleasing designs. If history holds that direction, at the end of the series there will be fruit.

I wonder when will get to see more of her?

Also~ I really wuv the way Umaru-chan says "Cola" tee hee! (.^ ^.) so precious~

Shame, I'm still not a big fan of the show and I'm finding Umaru extremely obnoxious and unlikeable, and Ebina overly timid. I guess I'll keep watching it for a few more episodes to see if I grow to like it.

Ebina-chan is so adorable~ I just wanna hold her and hug her! She seems very shy like me, and that accent! I love it. I have a feeling she's also a bit of a closet otaku. And, her boobs ARE big...
She's perfect!!

Umaru has moments when she isn't that bad, but most of the time she acts completely selfishly and ungrateful. Really off-putting.


What's REALLY off-putting is that in the necolumbus segment, (as aforementioned) Umaru dragged her brother into the contest and abandons him so she could win 2 if both of them won, then she loses and calls him a "four-eyed corporate slave" for giving the one he won away, then, with her brother's money, she gets one in an online auction. Something is DEFINITELY wrong with her.

Nana Lvl 100
Umaru Lvl -100

There is a huge difference between Nana and Umaru though.

Nana boobs are insanely big but Nana is love. She is better than Onodera. Thus better than Umaru.

Do not worry, it get's much better.
After the first episode I wondered how am I supposed to endure that for 12 episodes, but even though she sticks to again and again being annoying, you also get a lot more / other things.

The restaurant is literally named Moe. I know subtlety isn't a priority, but goodness, now the show is just rubbing it in.

That aside, I'm always curious as to how shows that revolve around singular characters function. It relies on the said character to be charismatic enough to carry the anime almost single-handedly. Or, at the very least, have a strong cast of peripheral characters maintain strong chemistry with the main character. It makes for an interesting challenge from a writer's perspective, where in order to avoid having a show become stale or repetitive, new antics, scenarios, or characters are introduced to keep things fresh. In more ambitious shows, we'd have the passing of time serve as a way to make things feel new, though that risks making the series limited in its life span. This is another thing I'm looking out for while watching Umaru-chan, aside from the intermittent references that puts a hard date on when the anime was made. A FFXV reference? This is most certainly an anime that exists for the present time.

-I actually felt pretty bad for Taihei in this episode.

-Ebine is excessively shy.

-Umaru was particularly devious this episode, and her antics were less amusing than the previous episode.

-More seriousness and romantic elements were added this episode. I'm really curious now as to what kind of direction the show will take.

Ebina is a good character, I like how the secondary characters fit together to get to know them better.
I liked the concept of why Ebina appreciates Taihei, and how she came to Tokyo.
Sometimes otakus are rejected by society, so I discovered that it is much better to be an
otaku in secret.
