Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui! (also known as WataMote) is a show about a freshman girl in high school named Tomoko who is the most extreme of the extreme when it comes to shut-in Otakus. Almost every aspect about her life is cringe worthy. She spends a lot of her time listening to Voice Acting clips that are supposed to be virtual boyfriends, reading manga, watching anime, and playing dating sims. Because of this, however, she's extremely socially awkward. Even her little brother sometimes doesn't know what to do with her because of how strange she is.
The humor for the most part is spot on, but at the same time a lot of the humor for me made me squirm and want to groan.
Tomoko is so socially awkward she can barely even talk to her "best friend" from middle school that she's known for a long time. However, when she's thinking to herself, she's often running her mental mouth, saying awful things about those around her who are so much better in general than her. She mentally badmouths people about having friends, and calls a lot of girls in her class names I don't want to repeat for worry about violating guidelines. She even has downright nasty thoughts about her own best friend because she sees her as someone who is better off than she is.
Throughout the show, though, she does have character development, however small. It sets you up for the big life-changing moment, only to throw a few pieces of confetti at you and dump you after squirming through the whole show.
This one isn't for everyone, but if you like cringe humor poking fun at otakus, this one is for you.
