Ahh! That's one thing I like about MAL - they always tell you if there's an OVA! Though for Watamote the OVA is only linked via Tomoko's character page lol For some reason it's not listed on the main Watamote page! I definitely recommend it though - at the same time though it made me even more mad about the original because it could have been so much better! It talks about a season 2 but I'm guessing it never got the green light lol

I usually watch OVAs when I can find them though - typically on YouTube although when you Google it some other websites sometimes show up - I forget what it is at the moment though but it's not the scam ad ones :3

Have you watched the Watamote OVA?
I just watched it on YouTube and it was fantastic! Had THAT been the pilot for the show, and had THAT been more of what it was about, it would have been amazing. Similar to content of the end of the series :3

Absolutely! You always want to develop your own opinion without the influence of others guiding what your opinion ends up being.
I'm pretty honest if I like or dislike something, but I always explain why and if that's something they're actually into or enjoy, then my dislike of it shouldn't effect them enjoying it :3
I always find it interesting if their opinion ends up falling in line with mine or if it's the opposite of how I viewed the anime!

Should have listened lol 8,10, 11, and 12 were tolerable and for the most part I enjoyed them - the humor for a lot of it is just not my style - had it been more along the lines of content for the episodes above it would have been so much better - but mainly it was just awkward and weird lol

Well, I enjoyed episode 8 for the most part! So far it's the only episode I've liked for more than 5 minutes lol!!
10 was pretty decent as well - why can't more episodes be like these! :/

Completely agree! Like, the constant trying to get her brother to say he's interested in her and those weird "gag jokes" about going to the bathroom and such. I'm just like... what. is. happening... why?? It just so doesn't fit the description lol I feel like the description needs to be updated to reflect the actual content. Had I been exposed to those jokes and the opening song I honestly think I would probably have said no way XD; Now I'm stuck!!

Let's hope lol!
I'm going to barrel through this season and the OVA to check off a couple Scavenger Hunt tasks I've had trouble with, but I'm so not impressed. We'll see if my rating goes higher by the end of the show XD;

I don't know what I'd be considered as for a rater - if I really enjoy a series, get hooked on it, and binge it really quickly, I'm likely going to give it a 9 or a 10. If I love it but have issues with some of the plot or characters etc. it'll probably be a 7 or an 8. But if an anime drops to a 6 or less, it ranges on how much I dislike it. I rarely rate below a 6, and when I do, it's when I come across shows like this that are very different than my typical shows XD;
That's how I ended up rating Death Note with a low rating and dropping it - although in that case it was an ex-boyfriend who insisted I'd love it, versus me looking at MAL and thinking "Oo, this looks interesting!" So I guess you could say I rate based on personal enjoyment, because I know how huge Death Note is xD;

Yup! I'm officially lost at the point xD;
The humor is so not my style, and I'm just like what the heck every episode.
But, at 5 episodes in I'm going to just finish it because it actually fits a task for the Scavenger Hunt challenges I'm doing in a group here on MAL. If it wasn't for completing a task, I'd probably drop it... and I don't drop many lol

So... yeah. Opening credits, sketchy and remind me of Death Note. Had I seen the opening credits and just that I would have passed completely on this anime LOL Tomoko is... not what I expected. Descriptions are very deceiving it appears... O_O;
I've only watched Episode 1 so far, but I'm going to give it a fair shot. It's definitely not what you'd expect!!

I think I'm going to give Watamote a try first! :3

That's the perception I got - strange but with a purpose - kind of like Charlotte in terms of different abilities and it bring the focal point of the show :3 I'm curious to give it a try!

See Watamote kinda seemed similar to The World God Only Knows in terms of the main character being obsessed with dating Sims, except she's actually attempting to be a part of reality lol That's what kinda drew me to it when I read the description! Definitely will still give it a shot though - I'll let you know how I end up liking it!

Absolutely! <3

It's funny because going through your Completed list, I've either watched it or I have it on my Plan to Watch List for like, 90% of your list lol!

A couple that did look interesting that I hadn't heard of before were Kotoura-san and Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui! - how did you like those?

I know what you mean - I have a Plan to Watch List that will never end I swear lol!

Okay! So here are some that I think you might enjoy - I tried to give a little variety! <3
A lot of the ones I planned on recommending you've actually already seen!

Orange - https://myanimelist.net/anime/32729/Orange - It has an amazing story and the emotion is truly raw. I read the manga and was blown away. I haven't fully watched the anime yet, but I know it'll be amazing. Very dark at times, but the story us just wonderful.

11 Eyes - https://myanimelist.net/anime/6682/11eyes - Similar in vibe as Another - it's dark but has a really great story to it!

Tsubasa Chronicle - https://myanimelist.net/anime/177/Tsubasa_Chronicle - This anime takes characters from all sorts of anime and puts them into a totally new universe! You'll see homages to their original stories throughout the series as well, which I felt was an awesome touch.

(I could probably give a LOT of emotional anime recommendations lol)

Comical Psychosomatic Medicine - https://myanimelist.net/anime/27911/Anime_de_Wakaru_Shinryounaika - Super short, only like 5 minutes per episode - I found it absolutely hilarious! It doesn't have the best ratings on MAL, but I really enjoyed it. Only 20 episodes so you get through it pretty quickly :3

I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying - https://myanimelist.net/anime/26349/Danna_ga_Nani_wo_Itteiru_ka_Wakaranai_Ken - Another great short series - only about 3 min per episode. It has a second season that really ends the story nicely, but I'd totally watch more. It's more of a slice of life but it's a fun watch :3

Squid Girl - https://myanimelist.net/anime/8557/Shinryaku_Ika_Musume - This is more of a normal series length! Another slice of life type - the way she talks and views the world, and the way they all interact, is just hilarious to watch. I binged through it very quickly! It's addicting once you start watching it lol!

(I could probably recommend a lot of Comedy as well lol!!)

Outside of these genres I'd probably recommend Kuromukuro on Netflix - https://myanimelist.net/anime/32245/Kuromukuro - I'm not one for mecha anime, like at all, but I really enjoyed this series! It's not what you'd expect it to be, or at least not for me. I thought it had a lot of depth and character development, and the fight scenes were pointed and went with the plot really well - there's a lot of back and forth and internal talking, not just clang bash boom lol

If you ever want more recommendations definitely let me know!
Also if you end up watching any of these, let me know what you think. :)

Hi there! Totally fine you checked out my list ^_^

I'd be happy to give some recommendations! <3

What kind of anime are you looking to watch right now? Any specific type or are you looking to try something new or?
