Alas, that all fell apart during episode 3, 4, and 5. The story did not evolve with the pace we were introduced to in the first two episodes, and it became stale. It could've been a solid anime, and I honestly gave it a 6 from the first two episodes (which is really good)...
Himouto! Umaru-chan shows us the life of a perfect highschool girl in public and an otaku in private. Initially this is a fun idea. We see how she handles the changes but this gets tiresome quickly.
As for the story, there pretty much is none. The art and animation is just fine, and the sound isn't really interesting at all. There aren't any songs I can remember. As for the characters, the overly emotional reactions to mundane situations get annoying. "But you like Nichijou, you should love overly emotional reactions!". Well it's not the same. The reactions just aren't appropriate for this show and they quickly cause me to disassociate with the characters.
I guess the only thing good to come from this show are some smug anime girl memes, but that's about it.
