Wataten was an absolute pleasure to watch yet it’s something I’m not exactly proud of watching.
I really loved the whole anime and the context of it but this is not an anime I’d just openly discuss with any friend of mine because it is somehow just a very personal thing especially since I’m a guy.
Wataten in its essence is a yuri anime consisting lots of cute loli.. little girls and an older girl.
What made the anime so cute and adorable to watch was the characteristics, looks and voices of the characters as well as many other adorable scenes provided in the anime!
Miyako-san is the older sister of Hinata-chan and everyone calls Miyako by her alias ‘Mya’ which is extremely adorable!
Hinata calls Miyako, Mya-nee and that is pure blessing to my ears, Hinata is a cute little girl with a tom-boyish attitude but still has feminine traits which is just super cute! She’s the younger sister of Miyako and loves her sister a lot! Ironically, Hinata is quite different from Miyako. Hinata is easygoing, sociable and fun while Miyako is a NEET, a shut-in and is extremely anti-social. It’s extremely cute to see these two ‘opposite’ sisters love each other so much and get along so well helping each other overcome their flaws at times too!
When I think about Hinata and Miyako it’s just so adorable and lovely!
Hinata is a cute little girl with orange hair, similar to Miyako with a very cute face and an even cuter voice, good job Uede Reina for the absolutely amazing kawaii voice acting!
I have to say, all the Seiyuu in this anime were really cute and managed to build and maintain a certain aura around their characters to make their characters more relatable and loveable! It’s awesome to be able to relate to the characters coming from the universe of Wataten to be honest! The characters in Wataten are literally the cutest characteristics anyone can think of all added into one anime!
Hana, one of Hinata’s closest friends and the girl that might caused many misconceptions of Miyako’s true nature. Hana is an extremely adorable yet mature girl. Hana has this mature, self-composed, proud and straightforward characteristic all added into a young cute little girl. She’s like an innocent mature child and is so precious!
The relationship between Miyako and Hana is cute and all but somehow it feels wrong on so many levels, it brings in a lot of cringe moments but somehow for me I enjoyed it a lot!
I mean, a University female student getting ‘weird’ feelings and emotions towards an elementary schoolgirl is just not that right...
Same-gender love but with large age gaps isn’t very ‘right’
However, I still enjoyed Miyako getting flustered by the many years younger, Hana. It’s adorable yet weird but it doesn’t matter as long as it’s cute!
Miyako is an introvert and a complete shut-in. It’s hilarious to watch Miyako’s interactions with everyone especially her Mother whom disapproves of many of her actions and knows her daughter very well!
The entire anime is just super cute, it took a nice, well-paced episodic approach introducing new characters slowly and steadily! The ending (last episode) was just so heartwarming and satisfying as well! Each episode has at least one funny scene to get you to burst out laughing or smile as well which is great!
Overall I’d give an 8/10 Mya-Nees for this anime and a huge recommendation for those that want a light, comedic and satisfying anime to watch!
P.S the only male in the entire anime is Higero.
