LOL... rafflesia for Tomoko.


And I was literally out of breath from laughing at this part:




My only complaint is they cut-out the wiener part in the manga.

I cannot even with this episode. It really showcased the potential of Tomoko's appearance, a tiny bit of the good and a lot of the bad. Earlier in the episode I thought "Holy shit, she could actually look good... with a lot of changes!" +_+ But then it we came back to reality and dear god... that ant hill for a face was the nastiest thing I've seen all season.

Well, she did in fact watch something with someone...and it seems she enjoyed herself...so, all is well that ends well?

I was surprised to hear Hatsune Miku too, I don't think I have heard her in anime apart from Black Rock Shooter. 4/5, nice episode, not to mention we saw that Tomoko can be pretty.

From what I could see in the closing credits, that was not Hatsune Miku (初音ミク)
who was singing the ED. But she did her own cover version a while back which is
not quite as good. Miku has quite a lot of trouble singing the faster parts.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df4i8hUxQ8M
There are many, many cover versions on YouTube. Just search for the title of the
song, which is 夏祭り. I think the best one is by Whiteberry in 2000. It was a big hit.
The original version was by Jitterin' Jinn in 1990 and it was a huge hit. Nowadays
that song is like an anthem in Japan, and they play it at every high school baseball
game.

For more explanation, see Post #51 by Mizokami.

The Japanese lyrics together with the English translation is in Post #43 by Abecyo.

The Panty and Stocking reference was hilarious, I loved this episode. Also, can't forget that character development, I was so happy when she actually talked to those kids. This anime deserves a lot more hype, but people took episode 4 too seriously -_- well they're missing out.

If you read ahead in the manga, there is a lot of stuff which is really, really
cringeworthy and creepy. They already omitted some interesting stuff from the
manga chapters which were in the anime episodes we have seen. The best example
is in the manga in chapter...

For overseas distribution, I suggest that the entire crowded train scene be replaced
by five minutes of "Nice Boat".

I think that we have to respect the fact that societal values vary from country to
country.

In the closing credits, the arrangment of the ED is attributed to 鬱P (Utsu-P).
It says: 作詞・作曲 - 破矢ジンタ / 編曲 - 鬱P & ミナツキトーカ(パンドリストP)
"Utsu-P (鬱P, lit. Depression-P) is a recognized producer known for his Metal
Vocaloid songs. Although at the beginning his songs exclusively featured Miku,
he has recently begun using Rin and Gumi as well."
Source: http://vocaloid.wikia.com/wiki/Utsu-P
Miku Hatsune [初音ミク]
Rin Kagamine [鏡音リン]
Hagane Miku [鋼音ミク] is a Heavy Metal version. 鋼音 = "steel sound"
Gumi

Here is the Watamote ED where they show Tomoko dressed up as if she were
cosplaying Hatsune Miku (初音ミク):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF5ICLT29z0 **

Here is an older version of Hatsune Miku singing the same song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df4i8hUxQ8M

In the older version you can easily notice that Miku has quite a lot of trouble
singing the faster parts. I believe that the vocaloid they used for Watamote is
much more advanced. It is not hard to notice that Miku's enunciation is poor,
and quite often it is hard to understand what she is saying, even while staring
at the Japanese lyrics.

You may also enjoy the 2000 cover by Whiteberry (ホワイトベリー):

Oh my God, she does not have those eye spots and I was pretty damn sure that she will get rid of those near the end or once she will make some friends and become more popular and confident. She is so cute, even before she was cute. That reference... Didn't expect it xD That imagination deserves a salute.

Clannad reference, those dango!

A bunch of good looking guys did end up noticing her. This girl needs to have a whole harem, she belongs to shoujo genre. Or else, she needs to become Keima of this show. She needs to change her fate... What's with her slut definition? XD That awesome plan of hers but she got ignored as usual. God, I want to go with her at the festival... Her outfit in the flashback xD This is the first proper conversation she had with guys. God, the ending xD

I think, Tomoko sang the ending sung in Miku's style and later it was editted.

Those cats were hilarious! Tomoko actually looks more cute without the baggy eyes, but I don't understand how they could just disappear like that, and those ants that were all around her, man I feel so bad for her. At least she got to see the fireworks with someone, but she also got a bonus as well xD

That ending song was awesome, and now summer vacation starts! I wonder what Tomoko plans to do now :)

It is first time they don't use original ending song.

By the way
In Episode 2 and 5, they made songs only for that episode, so the lyrics are related to the story and it's funny.
I wonder non-japanese speaker can enjoy these songs because they don't translate lyrics in English sub.
I think original songs made only for the episode is a part of story, so they should translate lyrics as well.

Great episode and nice with Utsu-P (鬱P) song in the end. He is a great metal/rock vocaloid composer and released a new album last week. http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00D409F0Y

Two songs from his new album if anyone is interested.



I ordered it the other day. Utsu-P is one of my favorite artists. I'm getting a tattoo of the cover of MOKSHA September 3rd.

I was not ready for the
and the hotel parts. I was looking behind my back every 20 or so seconds just to see if someone was coming into my room... -_-
This is definitely one of the more cringe inducing episodes for me.
(Un)fortunately, I read that particular chapter of the manga dealing with the ants first, so I was kinda expecting what was going to happen. Feminine hormones though, I never expected it.... well, I guess I did kinda expect the
word to come up sooner or later in Watamote, but still.... >////>

And the brown cat was practically bragging to Tomoko right there with the huge "Meow~~". The white one looked.... uncomfortable...?


The ED sounded Vocaloidish to me, and song sounded familiar, but I couldn't really place it.

Also, cringe-inducing-lol@the boy with the spiky hair who was on the rooftop to watch the hotel escapades with his pal. He was like, "Onee-san look at that!", "The guys at the top left the window open!", "Onee-san, be sure to keep your head low so that they don't see us!", "Things are steaming up!" and so on and so forth. I was like" Uh, hello you're basically watching live y'know-what with an older girl? Embarrassment much?" >_>

I was so thankful they didn't animate the hotel scenes..... ._.

An awkward, yet strangely amusing episode.

Even if we don't understand them we still enjoy them, there is a sense of something great behind. I totally love the ending transitions in Watamote, they fit really well.
