| Lol at the Another reference.... LOL even the characters are there. Anyways.. good anime, had fun with it.. but those crazy moments >.< dam'. Let's see what the OVA brings. |
 |
| Mixed feelings about this show. I'm not sure if I found it funny or depressing. It was good and bad at the same time. I know the point of this show was to show Tomoko's struggle to be popular (or at least relevant) but halfway through, it kind of got old. I can't help but feel for Tomoko though. She tries really hard but she needs help ;__; 7/10. |

| Great ending for this anime, although it could have been a bit better. Tomoko has come to terms with not being popular and accepts it. I am glad for her, that's all I needed to see. This anime gets an 8/10 from me. Next up: The OVA! (When it airs) |
 |
| i would like to see a season 2 where Tomoko learns to become more comfortable with herself/other people. i actual can relate to her too much, lol. |
| what the fuck Is this for real That's it? The manga's still ongoing, so it BETTER have a sequel, though I don't see how it could get any better. Damn assholes ending it with probably the ONLY other person in the show who actually likes Tomoko. (someone please tell me Imae is important. That's the only reason I'd want to watch S2) The director did BakaTest too, so it's surprising this wasn't as funny. For shame. |
| The end of the solitary fall ~ .. More fun things !! Goals for the future !! .. It's quite funny when yuu-chan says something honestly weird words ~ Tomoki .. why getting the proud spotlight by saying that .. well .. you can If it has helped you . Hmm .. good idea . using a voice recorder to find out the opinion of others about you .. though , you can ask them face-to-face but .. not effective to those who're not confident enough . Ohh .. the nonexistent .. that reference .. lol !! She's the "nobody" of the class. Pay attention !! Focus to air-oki-san !! that cockroach POV .. !! cheers from the crowd !! Looks like the courageous squashing became the talk of the class in a bad way . freaky . Tomoko as the shadow of great self-assurance .. she .. ran away from the chance .. lmao . Pretty good episode !!! .. atleast she tried lol .. determination !! yep .. she is "cute" :D WataMote . was a hilarious , heart-touching and splendid anime that tells a story of an unpopular girl .. and still lonesome near the end of the season . It was a nice display of emotions .. in which , the main character is trying to achieve her goal to be "acknowledged" as having companions on her high-school life . though , there was no real .. character development on her social relationships (some are just temporary or still improving) , the motivational factor (or the moral lesson I guess) was the objective to have friends with the determination to boost the confidence needed . I hope for a second season or just a follow-up to change her "pitiful" lifestyle into a great one. Fill the lacks of the plot by doing some interesting continuations . |

| That was a nice watch, had fun. I kinda wish there would be more progress in the story though. The ending, well, is pretty non-existent actually and doesn't really change anything, she could have said that after any other episode, lul. I guess it's totally open for a sequel, and I hope we do get to see one in the future. The manga is still ongoing so it would be nice to watch some more. Oh, and the opening is totally awesome. One of the best I've heard so far. |
 |
| Attack on Titan salute when they were taking pictures, lol. That Another and Terra Formars reference. Anyone feel like the students were way overreacting to one cockroach? Dat pantsu! HNNG! Damn, look at Tomoko run! Yuu joins and it becomes very bouncy! Good series! Time for the OVA! |
| liked it a lot but felt sad for tomoko :'( |
 |
| Was okay for a finale episode. I enjoyed the anime but it wasn't the greatest thing in the world to me. I guess Slice of Lifes aren't my cup of tea. 6/10 |
 "Honestly... it kinda doesn't matter where I go... whether I'm alive or dead... I'm still pretty dandy." |
| Hopefully there will be a season 2 Manga still going strong with watamote |
 |
| So in the end... nothing's really changed? Kind of depressive, but I guess reality is like that. 6/10 |
| Nice ending - I guess... . Anyway really enjoyed this anime and I will miss it. I want a second season! Also, loved those references to Another. |
| There were a lot of funny moments and references but I never really felt good after watching an episode. No matter what Tomoko did, things never got any better for her. The way she spoke to classmates was painful to listen to, the stuttering and hoarse voice (Japanese). Her delusions were often extreme and interesting to watch. |
Mirai, zura~!  |
| That was a perfect ending. Not sure what everyone is talking about, that was the best way they could end it. She realized trying to be popular was ridiculous and in the end she accepted herself and her reality and that's all that she can do, so she accepts it. 10/10 |
| I think this anime is realistic. When i started to watch it, i thought that in the middle she would met some boy or girl that could change her life in a positive way (like some school anime where the shy girl, boy "casually" met a special friend etc..). But in this anime this didn't happen. And it's very realistic. If you are the quiet type in real life, and you don't try to approach other people, probably you will remain by yourself. You could meet a special boy or girl that can help you but if you don't speak with others, if you remain in your room, the probabilities aren't that much. I liked it but it was a bit sad. But that's reality. |
| That was pretty boring. This anime could've worked if it was 4 episodes long or 8 minute episodes but a full length anime with nothing really happening is just too boring. There's needs to be an OVA or something were she is at least slowly learning not to be an idiot and then it would've been a little bit worth it but that's not the case so I'm left disappointed. The cringe/jokes were okay but they started getting really old really fast. 5/10 |
 |
| I loved the ending. Really, really good. |
| I am important. I have a girlfriend. Check out my podcast |
| What kind of ending was that? Sigh... still no happy ending but at least she tried. That Another reference though... wow, couldn't stop laughing. |
 |
| The sequence where she was running with the music playing in the backround. Awesome. |

| Loved this series, definitely got attached to Tomoko as a character. Her progression was very little, but it was there nonetheless. 9/10! |
| The ending was a bit bitter sweet... |
| "I have blue eyes, blonde hair... uhhhh... gatling cannon..." My smile's fanbase... maybe... [remember to put image here so sig look cool]_______  |
| Overall, this show was pretty good, but it was so cringey (not necessarily in a bad way) that I'm not really sure if I'd be able to rewatch it, even though I liked it. 4/5 for the episode, 7/10 for the show, but I might change my rating later. |
 |
| Unique and painfully hilarious. A great show that balances both the good and bad of reality without trumping its characterization. WataMote is an 8/10 for me. Very good show. Will hope for a second season. |

| I think I took this anime way too seriously, because I mostly felt sorry for Tomoko instead of actually being humored. I mean, I get what they were trying to pull with this in many of the situations she's in, but it felt like they executed it unintentionally in the wrong ways. What they tried to make as funny made it aching or sad for me to watch her go through or witness how she felt in such situations. I know that she brought most of those things upon herself, but my goodness... It makes me want to give her a hug or something. The interactions with her brother were one of the examples I found as being funny most of the time. I can emphasize with someone like her despite that I have NEVER had such social anxiety and attention seeking like she very clearly has (for obvious and understandable reasons, in my opinion), and have never been in such embarrassing moments like she had been in (at least as far as I remember. lol). I gave it a 6/10 overall. |

| This is one of those shows that's hard to pin down exactly how it leaves you feeling. Tomoko was so lovably pathetic, and there was so much painful cringe humour as well. When not being cringy, this show made my wanna hug and pet Tomoko so much. When cringy there was stuff that just reminded me of the seemingly nonsensical gross crap some kids do sometimes that i wish i could forget (like the messed up faces and messing with vacuums and stuff). I had the view Imae had, she's always trying so hard but screws up so bad. I'm not a social awkward, but i often keep quiet because my mouth doesn't exactly obey me - end up patooey-ing my words trying to say what should be completely easy to say. Verbal communication uses many areas of the brain and uses a significant amount of juice to process, they don't always harmonize so well chemically for people. So i do have a vague sympathy for Tomoko's position, enough to extrapolate to the point where i empathize and almost see it as a cruelty to not notice these struggling people and help them out (even tiny acknowledgement can go a long way) - as most people automatically ignore someone who doesn't enter themselves into the social context much on their own. Not everyone's wired the same way, and people ought to be more natural around anomalous individuals. I personally found this show kinda cool philosophically, because it was made in a way (just like cuteness tends to tickle people's happiness centres) that just so well prods that pity centre of emotions. It automatically makes you feel bad and want to pat her or something. That said: it can often at times be the same in real life, you just need to hear these kinds of peoples' stories, or guess ones for them to tickle your desire to include them. If this is anything besides cringe humour, it's a shout out to all those awkward people around that could use some love too. |

| OMG that OP! I wont miss this one, ending was sad, but what can you expect from a slice of life. pm me if you want me to reply, i dont visit the forums after i post |

| I literally yelled "What the fuck?! Why?!" when that random wind came and blew up Imae's skirt. I SO wanted Tomoko and Imae to least exchange a few words that might give Tomoko some peace. I've never seen a show so simultaneously hilarious and depressing. Episodes 1 - 12: 5/5 Series: 7/10 |
| Great show, wouldn't mind a second season too ! |
| Overall nice concept, at times very relatable if you're anti social or just awkward. As a character she was all over the place, sympathetic, tragic, frustrating and then made you think how dumb or immature she was even for a fist year. I know some will say they could relate to her struggles and whatnot but at times it felt like a grind with little improvement. |
| Love the series. Didn't love the ending. No closure at all. I really wanted her to have a breakthrough at the end and they put her in a position where it looked like she might finally breakdown and overcome her fears and make a friend. But they just kind of ended it abruptly. That might mean they're holding out for a second season, but it also means the second season will be the same as the first. I've seen her be a horribly awkward and shy teen. I want to see her grow and come out of her shell now. |
 |
on 
| That is simply depressing. Also that Another reference... I mean come on... she depressed herself when she tried to make friends but failed miserably. And since the manga is ongoing, I don't think she's being popular anytime soon. |
 |
| Sooo, I'm giving this a 7.5/10 I did enjoy it however I think that ending could've been wrapped up a bit better. |
 |
| She killed a terra formar and her classmates aren't impressed, fuck them! She saw those panties and she flipped! |
 |
| That sweet girl who hugged Tomoko in the last episode, thinks that Tomoko is cute! Well she is little, so that makes her cute, anyway, Tomoko is just really hypershy and terrified of any social interaction relative strangers. |
| In the end, she didn't get to progress as much as I wanted her to in talking to other people, haha. Oh well. These things take time. This was a good comedy. 7/10 |
| This definitely was a funny anime, almost painfully relatable in some ways, hahaha |
 |
| At first I was like: Damn, why is this only slightly above 7. This is really good. Then I understood and I was happy to realize that I wasn't the only one. This thing is depressing as hell. You want her to win, but she never actually does. |
| Wow, that wasn't what i was expecting from this anime. Started watching as i thought it would be some light relief anime and it went so much deeper than that. I feel for the character Tomoko, i wanted her to have progressed further in her quest to be able to deal with people and situations outside of the virtual world she was so used to being adept at. Unfortunately she as we discover real life is nothing like the games and anime that she and we play. I thought it was a great commentary on how the virtual world can sometimes damage those that believe they have the same skills in life, as they do in being MVP or the best at a game etc automatically makes them 'that same person' in the real world. Don't get me wrong, there were comedic moments, heart warming and playful moments that made it a well rounded anime as well as the darkness. Think i made this to long. I am probably crashing from the choccy easter eggs we all ate yesterday. Time for some light relief methinks, Vampire Holmes here i come. |
| Wow this was a waste of time. They have this great and unique setting and do nothing with it. Even the comedy is boring. Most of this anime was just sad, not a touching kind of sad, just "I know people like this exist" sad. And since I lost a classmate to suicide after we graduated, none of the not extreme scenes where funny to me. I laughed like 3 times total while watching this series and smiled like 5 times. I would have loved to see her develope, overcome her anxiety. Something motivational to all the people who feel like her (hint - considering our community, I guess there are A LOT of people like her) In the end the anime covered like 1 year and she has not progressed at all. Arguably it got worse. She still cant talk to boys, not even her teachers. She is even to afraid to talk to girls. Her little cousine who adored her now pities her. The only friend is still Yuu-Chan and we saw a friendly senpai. But she was to afraid to speak to her. Great. Exactly how anime should be.. I guess only people who never experienced social anxiety or only to a very small degree can find this funny or good. If I had to pick something other then sad, funny would not be untrue. But its very weak and solely based on her problems with interacting with people. Now I want to read the manga because I hope she developes, has a small victory. But from what Ive heard nothing gets better. |
