Mixed Feelings
So you're an unpopular girl with no friends, social life, or desire to do anything that relates to people. Welcome to the same scenario as Watamote.

~PLOT~
Being that this is a slice of life show there is no real plot. Girl is unpopular, trys to do something to stand out, fails, repeat. I personally have no issues with this, It's just that you can see the problem or the fail before it even starts. I also like how the show makes parody scenes from diffrent anime such as death note, evalengelion, and others that I haven't seen yet because I'm lazy.

~Characters~
Theres actually only 3 characters that even play a part in this show
Tomoko - A very shy 1st year high school girl that is trying to make friends and be popular.
Tomoki - Her younger brother and the complete opposite of tomoko. He's actually more of the asshole character but I understand his view since I have siblings of my own.
Yuu - Tomokos only friend. she comes and goes like every character so theres not much to say about her.

~Sound and Animation~
Let me sum this up and say this " dat opening." This is both the best animation and the best track in the whole show. The animation only shines in the times they make parody refrences to diffrent shows, but thats it. The sound and animation any other time are basic. The dub isn't bad either but I have not watched the sub. The dub is satisfying enough to watch and leave it as is, but it's odd and Has it's moments.

~FINAL~
Watamote defiantly had potential in the first few episodes but slowly died down and got old later in the show. Everything just got old. I did enjoy the show however and it is a nice change to what I was watching. The show however Just didnt amuse me As I thought it would. I don't hate it, but I'm not a fan. The only other thing about this show I didn't like was the ending, do you know why? there wasn't one. The show just ends with no progress to her. It isnt like an elfen lied/ deadman wonderland end with plot holes the size of the fucking sun. But the show never wraps things up completely. Enough to keep you satisfyed, but they left it open enough that they look like they wanted to make a sequal.
