Reviews

Two years ago, I had watched the very first episode of the slice of life comedy anime Watamote, and since then I couldn't get enough of it. I know some people don't like Watamote because of its treatment of social anxiety but, as someone who has social anxiety, I think it handles social anxiety pretty well in, some ways. I get panicky and nervous when I am around crowds, and I unable to speak to people other than family members, so I'm just like Tomoko when I was 15 years old and in high school.

Let's talk about the story of this controversial anime, shall we?

Story: It is about a popular girl named Tomoko Kuroki who has a lot of boyfriends and friends in the world of otome games. In reality, Tomoko is a unsociable loner who doesn't have any friends in her first year in high school. The series follows Tomoko as she attempts to improve her social status in high school.

The story is very interesting and easy to follow. I give it 10/10

Art: The art isn't magnificent like the manga art cover but it's beautiful nonetheless. 8/10

Sound- Whimsical, sorrow, joyful, and pleasant to hear. I love the background music whenever Tomoko is happy. It makes me smile all the time. 10/10

Character: I don't like all of the episodes in Watamote, to be honest. Yes, they are likable ones like Tomoko, Yuu-chan, Tomoko's cousins, Tomoko's parents, and Megumi, but there also mean-spirited ones like one of Tomoki's friends who called her ugly in the first episode. 7/10

Enjoyment: I enjoy it! 10/10

Overall: It's a good anime with its ups and downs.
