No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!
 Is this even funny?? I could not laugh while watching this! Tomoko Kurokis problem in this anime is not that she don't have friends, because she have friends, it is that she can't talk with people. I think her class is a very good class, since no one is teasing her |

| It wasn't sad or funny, just the biggest cringefest I've ever seen. And it felt even worse to watch because I basically am Tomoko. |
| I couldn't manage to watch more than 6 episode... is too damn depressing. |
 |
| To be honest I did find some of the moments of this show funny, But I did feel empathy towards the MC. And did enjoy the show a lot, and how tomoko develops through the this short series. At first she is delusional, with over the top Expectations. But at the end, she does realise how lonely she is, and her goals changes from wanting to be popular to just wanting some to hang out with. And at the end she does try something she wouldn't have considered at first.. Asking someone else for help. Looking at how the manga goes, I would personally love for this show to continue, as Tomoko now as people around her.. and the premise is slowly changing |
 Lina inverse is best girl prove me wrong |
| There were funny moments but most of the time I wanted to comfort Tomoko or watch anime with her. |
 |
| I gave it a 3, the same score I gave Glasslip, so I think that's enough to demonstrate my opinion on it. The only good thing about it is the OP. |
  |
| I absolutely loathed watching it. It's depressing, gross, and I honestly couldn't laugh at it. I know it's supposed to be a comedy and all, but Tomoko didn't develop whatsoever. The show failed for me in aspects like that. It doesn't work for me as a comedy, but it doesn't work as a character study either. |
| It's a true story of every girl weeb :3 |
Avilo said: I know it's supposed to be a comedy and all, but Tomoko didn't develop whatsoever.  WataMote is easily one of the funniest anime I've ever seen. Yes, it's really, really cringe-y. But that's the point. And that's what makes it so painfully hilarious. The episode with Tomoko's younger cousin made me want to implode with shame and horror, and it's fuckin' brilliant. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| I laughed way too hard, people say that the ones that says it wasnt funny is because they related too her, well, I related too her a lot, and I still laughed. |
 |
| I don't think it was really funny or sad, just cringy and relatable. VERY relatable. |
 |
| It was ok I guess. I gave it a 7. Was funny in places, but cringey in others. I wouldn't waste time on it though because it literally is just this one girl who does nothing to overcome her anti-socialness, which is the true sadness of this anime. Overall wasted oppotunity especially with the MC. |
 |
| I managed to watch 8 episodes, then I dropped it because it seemed to be repetitive and I felt literally "disgusted" and depressed :| |
| Absolutely hilarious, I even continued reading the manga after, it's great <3 |

| This is a tragic story for me :( Some episodes are quite fun to watch but still, over all was so sad :( A girl that is so desperately trying to fit it on her environment :( A girl without so much friends :( She keeps trying but everyone ignores her :( It's painful :( And it is somewhat related in real life :( Too much sadness I guess :( She's so alone :( |

| It's a dark comedy, yes you are invited to laugh at the problems of a character. I understand that can be uncomfortable for a lot of people but for me Watamote was a breath of fresh air. |
 |
| Basically I love dark humor, so I enjoyed Watamote a lot. An anime that can give you this amount of embarassment, can't be anything else but great ! |
| basically the people that hated it are the people that related to her alot, or people that dont like her suffering from being that awkward. I think its a great anime and wish it got another season |
 |
| The show was supposed to be relatable and funny. Relatable? Not every person that watches anime has no friends and cant make eye contact with another human being. Funny? hmmm... nope. It was rather depressing actually. Butttt those are just my thoughts on Watamote. |
 |
| Watamote is brilliant. The only other anime out that that made me feel so horribly awkward alongside the MC was Prison School. I feel like someone stalked me and wrote about me with this anime. The general disdain this show gets makes me question my reality and how people must see me. I hope to see Tomoko slowly let go of her humility and let her true nature and thought process show more to other people |
| It's funny if you like to laugh at the misfortune of others. Which I do. So yep, I found it pretty hilarious tbh. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Sometimes funny, sometimes I felt really bad for her. So basically it is both. |
| it's funny but painful you laugh while crying but i want season 2 it's unfair always let the awesome anime with 12 ep and the worst with more than 20-_- |
| anime liker |
| I seriously had a PTSD episode while watching this, I feel horrible. I hoped the show would develop but it just got worse and worse. Seriously, if you had a similar experience as she did at her age I would not recommend watching! |
 |
| It was very funny most of the time, but a little sad because Tomoko was such a loser. Yet her family, (except her brother), and friend seemed to care for her, and nobody was actually mean to her at all. She was just very shy and had crazy ideas all the time. |
| I kind of wish there was some improvement in her character through out the series, even if she didn't get friends or a love interest. I wanted so badly to see progression in her character, but instead she remained stagnant. Unrealistically I wanted her to get into a relationship with someone who understood her quirks by the end of the series, but it became obvious by episode 4 or 5 that nothing of the sort would happen. Does anybody know if her character becomes more social in the manga by the end of the series? |
| It was both hilarious and crushing, because for me, it was so relatable. That's why it's my favorite anime. |
| When I watch this, I either have 0 reaction or huge grin just like Sonic on my profile pic. It's "cringy" show, I don't find it sad but it's not that funny either but I guess it's subjective so some people find it sad, some find it funny. It depends on how you watch it. |

alexww180 said: I gave it a 6 and it's one of my favpurite anime. To all who liked it i recommend reading the manga. Comedically, it's lackluster and repetitive, since the comedy alway revolves around her either failing strongly at things or having unrealistic expectation and/or a twisted idea pf the reality of things around her. The anime certianly did not make me laugh but the manga had a couple of good moments. It'so far the only anime that made me cry (bear hug moment) but it does not put a lot of emphasis on Tomoko's sadness, because she is a Teen and she is well designed as one: she is moody, sometimes she feels sad for no real reason and sometimes she denies her condition to herself to feel better (when talking to herself she says she is funny and charismatic). tl;dr She's well designed as a teen and this prevents the anime from taking a single didection: it's both funny and sad. Well I have not read the manga. Do you think I should read the manga, if I only saw the anime? :) I am curious xD |
| It's boring and sometimes even slightly cringy. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Nah this is a cringefest. Everybody though this will be the next nhk and I remember this having like 8.26 score and now look at its score now. 7.25? Dang I wonder how many peeps got disappointed in this. |

Dang I wonder how many peeps got disappointed in this. Yes I dont understand it too.. My brother @eusuna hate, and I will say it again... HATE that Watamotes score is 7.25 and not higher |
| There were some funny episodes and also some sad episodes. Overall more sad than funny though. |
| I found it quirky and cringy. I remember laughing at how awkward it could get. I get why people think it's sad and not funny at all, but I think the main focus here was to be able to laugh at how ridicule some of us can be just to be loved. Any fans of the serie knows that Tomoko was liked by her classmates. She just emphasized the fact that she wasn't out going and interpreted it as her pairs not liking her. Really, that sounds like a lot of everyday teenagers. I honestly think it was well done. And for the people saying that 'it's sad because she didn't even got popular at the end', I disagree. She didn't got popular, because she's not that type of girl and she realized it. That was the main focus of the anime and I'm satisfied with this ending. Realizing who you are and accepting that fact. |
