| Apparently, WataMote is a huge hit. As of June 2013, total sales of the manga have exceeded 1.5 million copies, making it a bestseller. The original Japanese wording is: 2013年6月時点で単行本は累計150万部を突破するベストセラーとなる。 The original source for this information (in Japanese): http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%A7%81%E3%81%8C%E3%83%A2%E3%83%86%E3%81%AA%E3%81%84%E3%81%AE%E3%81%AF%E3%81%A9%E3%81%86%E8%80%83%E3%81%88%E3%81%A6%E3%82%82%E3%81%8A%E5%89%8D%E3%82%89%E3%81%8C%E6%82%AA%E3%81%84! |
 jaja ^o^ |
| She is definitely not moe and I don't like her character design or voice acting, but it all makes sense because it's pretty much fitting to her character. Haha, Nakamura, who VA Kousaka Kyousuke, is stuck with another annoying sister xD but I'm glad to hear his voice again. I don't really like this series that much, and it sure is a painful length of 20 minutes, I'd fair better with 10, and best with 4. That's just me, though. lol, this overview.  |
 |
She thought in that. |
| The polar opposite of Oreimo. XD; I'd never thought watching this would be this painful though, it's really bitter... |

It seemed to me more like Tomoko would call any girl that was better with guys than her a "slut". She just needs to feel superior. And I don't think she was joking about taking a quick ending. They were both played as jokes to the audience. Jokes where we're supposed to laugh at slut shaming and then laugh at a girl threatening suicide. Which both make me really uncomfortable, because you shouldn't be joking about shit like that and slut shaming's fucking ridiculous. ihateeveryone said: straggy said: This was like watching an anime rendition of a screamo cover of a Taylor Swift song.

Don't you even try to tell me that you haven't ever seen a bunch of girls walking off with guys and thought in your head 'ugh what sltus i bet theyre gonna be banging all night long those fucking whores.' It's a JOKE. Jeez. Yeah, when I was younger, but then I educated myself and learnt about slut shaming and how fucking shitty it is. Just because something's played as a joke doesn't mean it's not a bad thing to do. No-one calls the guys sluts or whores - it's literally just judging women for wanting to be free with their sexuality. In fact, what you just listed was my exact point. That's just what Taylor Swift does in her music, which is pretty much nothing but slut shaming and playing the innocent virgin ideology off. |
| Wow, damn the OP was awesome. The episode is just as good. I can relate to MC but unlike her, I ca actually talk to people normally. |
 |
| Lmfaooo that death note parody in this ep was fucking hilarious!! when she surfs the computer |
| Definitely one of the most enjoyable animes of the season. |
| I was a lot like her in middle school so I can understand how she feels. Well, I'm still a bit like that but I can deal with things much better in comparison to back then. Anyway, I think I'm going to like this anime very much. More like, I'm already liking it. Also, that opening was amazing. |
| freakin hilarious, THOSE FACES OMG |
| very happy with the first episode, i think im going to enjoy this show |
 |
| Never thought this would be really enjoyable being animated. Manga was a bit boring for me. |

Why is it not okay to joke about suicide? Okay stop, keep your sob stories to yourself. I don't want to know about your past, or those of your friends. Why do feminazis always feel the need to ruin things for others? Mind you, I do whatever the hell I want. You are definitely NOT going to restrict my freedom. Also, if you show me your weakness I'll definitely use it to destroy you as soon as I feel like you're forcing your beliefs on me. You have been warned. |

| Loved this. I defiantly can relate to some of the social anxieties/awkwardness, not to this extreme though. Defiantly going to be eagerly anticipating more episodes. |

| Long time since an OP like this, which is awesome. And the series is extremely promising, hope it turns out great |
| Great start. The scene where Tomoko was searching on Google reminded of Light writing in his Death Note. xD The OP is very misleading. lol The ED is cute. |

Oh my goodness, someone on the internet has a different opinion than you. You'd better start acting foolish! People not agreeing with your stupid crap is clearly a threat to your ability to spout stupid crap! You go ahead and "destroy" people. You'll land in prison and no longer be able to be oh so edgy on the internet. Oh wait, you mean you're going to use your oh so edgy internet debating skills to "destroy" people figuratively. Like by resorting to Godwin's Law and calling people you don't agree with nazis? Pardon me while I laugh. |
| That was amazingly hilarious. |
 |
| Wow, that's a lot of prejudices you got there Tomoko, haha. Seriously. Such is the life of your average high school girl; shitting on other people's lives, yet she's lonely herself and can't understand why guys don't pay attention to her. I'm quite interested in this; it's the 4th anime I've seen that deals with girl otakus, and usually those animes are pretty good. I'm looking forward to where this goes |

| I have high hopes for this anime, hopefully it will fulfill what Oreimo could not. The concept is solid, the execution is what matters now. Animes like Ben-To and The Wallflower have dealt with girl otakus pretty well, and with some hilarious results. I agree with people who say that Tomoko's character is dramatically over exaggerated. On the surface she does look like a bad person who just lies to herself, belittles others yet has no confidence, which is true to an extent, but it's done for a purpose; it's meant to emulate several sides of socially awkward girls. Girls like that range from the timid ones that don't speak, the unpopular ones who hate popular girls, and just normal girl otakus. She's a walking satire really, and you can hardly take her seriously when she says 'girls are so stupid for talking to guys like that' and the next minute she says 'I wish i could talk to guys'. It's ironic hypocrisy, and i think it's funny cause it doesn't take itself too seriously. If this were a more serious anime and this girl wasn't the comedic relief, trust me I'd hate her too. Still, i'm interested to see where her misadventures lead her. |

| What a great first episode, I loved this. :D The MC is hilarious and cute, and the humour was just amazing. "I’m coming soon--!" hahaha, oh god. :D |
nayt said: Death note parody was awsome xD  god it was so epic... 5/5 FOUND IT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xQmEoBjC0Q |
| The opening theme is so unnecessarily intense, lol. Good first episode. |
| Loved the main character. Had me Laughing and felt hurt along with her. Really enjoyed the first episode |
 |
| Oh crap. That was surprisingly good. I actually know a girl like Tomoko in real life, and I used to be similar to her too. I died in the DS Back washing scene. Too funny. I actually laughed more than four times for just this episode. |
| Interesting series, I just love her social awkwardness. And that Death Note parody scene was pure gold. |
 |
| OP is horrible .. Ep is good for starting .. |
| Finally started watching this... I really~ liked this episode & her faces were hilarious. I think I am going to love this show. |
| this is so awkward to watch but damnit i love it,. As a fan of heavy metal , as well as my roomates, when this song plays, they cant help but to think im listing to a new band. i personally think the OP fits well. comparing to Tomos frustration of not being popular. ahha |
BloodyNightsky said: CEMPUNK said: IZEROII said: She's cute shes ugly  lol yup |
| I think the OP is what Tomoko thinks her situation is like. Lol. Besides that I haven't laughed this much in awhile, died at when her brother saw her in her get-up at McDonalds. 4.5/5 |
| She's annoying me. But I like her brother. |
| Hmm....pretty good actually, I think I'll keep watching. |
| After that other shitty series, hearing brother talk with this voice makes me really uncomfortable... Well, one or two more episodes before deciding if it stays in dropped. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Brilliant first episode. I laughed a lot, and I barely laugh. Tomoko is incredibly cute. Kind of like Rie when she plays a stuttering part. I find myself attracted to Tomoko. I'd be her boyfriend. |
| Lolis > Everything |
| Surprisingly touching first episode. Nicely laid out quest, to become popular. I look forward to following her. |
| Pretty interesting start of this series, some interesting and funny concept, I wonder what the whole story has to offer us! Plus that lovel OP and ED sure made it quite awesome! |
 |
| Fucking loved it. OP was awesome and ED was very clever and made me laugh just a bit :p. Can't wait to see the rest. |
