I don't tend to write reviews but I feel like I need to "rage" somewhere.
Umaru-chan is the biggest disappointment I experienced while watching anime in years! Umaru-chan is quite famous online, lots of clips and memes are out there, quite few people online praised it as well, so I thought ok this might be a cute anime with an otaku / gamer girl - I should be able to relate to this.
I lasted 2 episodes. Barely.
I will not question the quality of jokes, the actual representation of otaku culture etc., but 1 thing I absolutely cannot stand is... Umaru-chan herself.
I cannot think on top
...
of my head the more annoying character in anime that is a main one!
Her relationship with her brother is so toxic and abusive. I am a 25 years old woman, so when I see a brat waking up her hard-working brother at 5am on Sunday while he is clearly stressed out and exhausted because... she's bored... I am fuming. Teenager throwing a fit because she wants a brand new game - how is this entertaining in any way? Sorry, but the only way I can see others enjoying this show is when they're acting like Umaru-chan themselves, to which I'd highly suggest therapy.
Jokes aside, everyone is entitled to their opinion and preferences but honestly, don't. Thousands shows out there, don't waste your time on this.
