This is my first review, and there weren't any detailed negative reviews, so i felt i should atleast make one.

Story: 4
The story is basically just like a slice of life. Something happens, it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, reset. Some people like this kind of thing. I usually don't like them. This one grabbed my attention enough that i thought it would be good, but the story had little depth to it. Well, its a slice of life, so story isn't a big factor. I only gave it a 4 because the setup was good and a bit original.

Art: 8
Probably the best, and maybe only good thing, about the show. The scenes are pretty, and look nice. The Its detailed, very well done. I have to at least give credit to the animators for a job well done.

Sound: 6
I personally didn't like the OP. It wasn't my style, so i often skipped it. Overall, though, the music did set the tone well, and always matched the mood. It was pretty average, not much to say.

Character: 3
Now here is the thing that really makes me dislike this show. The characters don't develop at all. From beginning to end, they stay the same. No One character, Kirie, has very slight development, but its hard to notice as the whole change starts and finishes in one episode, like the first or second episode she is in. None of them have any motivations ether. Even the main character, Umaru, has no motivations whatsoever. Yes, she likes to watch anime and that is her thing. But why does she try to be so perfect at school? She has no reason. She is fine with being a slob in front of her brother, but at school? No. She doesn't even have that many friends, just one. Two by the end of the show (unless you count Sylphy, but she acts like more of a rival and only shows up in like, 1/3 of the episodes after she is introduced, which is the second episode). The show ends returning to the status quo. Umaru doesn't become nicer to her brother (even though several episodes make it seem like she wants to be). No one finds out about her secret (they basically use it as a joke that everyone is an idiot and doesn't notice), and she never ever gives us a reason to pretend she is a perfect girl at school.

Enjoyment: 4
It was somewhat enjoyable. Except for all the moments Umaru acts like and asshole and never has to answer for her actions, which happens about a million times an episode. Nothing more to say here.

Overall: 4
This show, really, is not a good show. If you are a shut in, and have no friends, you might like it because it lets you fantasize about what it would be like if you had friends who weren't also shut-ins like you. Maybe the reason i don't like it is because i'm not in that situation. But being unbiased, this show has nothing to go on. Compared to other slice of lifes i have watched, it is worse than some but not the worst, and nowhere near good. I would suggest staying away from this if you like story, closer, and characters that have to deal with the consequences of their actions. If you like shows for having tons of overly endowed women, a bunch of "plot", and all the fanservice you can imagine, possibly wrapped up with an unintelligent MC who gets into bad misunderstandings and gets slapped, i would also recommend staying away because it doesn't even have that. If you are unsatisfied with your life, watch a lot of anime, are possibly a weaboo, and like watching how anime otaku live their lives, then this is for you. If all three of those descriptions match you, i am sorry for being a terrible generalizer ;(
