Well that was cute.

We get a girl who lives a sort of double life. One is where everyone admires her and the other is where she behaves like a completely obsessed otaku in CHIBI. I think the show itself is fun though if not taken seriously. Obviously, it's comedy so there's a lot of humor about it.



That blue haired girl is kinda annoying.

I think it was really cute and at times funny.That's all I wanted from this anime ;)
The opening is the cutest thing I have ever seen in anime,I can die in peace now.

Everything about it was fun, though I didn't like the parts where Umaru was acting all angry and stuff.

i'll rekt u m8 dont talk shit about muh waifu


Now just being serious, Silphy gets a lot better later.

Also BASED DOGAKOBO, the adaptation is perfect, i was kind of worry because 24m anime with a short series like umaru wouldn't work on my mind, but fuck they made it work!

Well this was wonderful. Adorable can't even begin to describe Umaru. She's definitely one of the best characters this season! :D

Both personalities are...meeeeeeeh. They are so exaggerated that it annoyed me. There has to be much character development to change that, but i doubt, this anime is about that lol. I like the oni-chan though, he seems to be a good lad.

NICE BOAT!

Personally i enjoyed the manga but i think 24 minute episodes are a bit to long expected 5 minute ones to be honest.
Well at least it's no rushed which is a good thing.

I hate to be that guy, but she seems so different from the manga
In the manga she was more playful with her brother and in the anime she seems more bratty
Nonetheless, she was adorable and besides that little change in character, I expected this much from the anime, so hyped to see more

Her habits, the contrast were pretty fun. Those tantrums, I feel bad for his brother.

Those hamsters look funny. Well, this was really entertaining to say at least. Her Himouto phase was rather interesting. All the sudden changes and everything being "planned" out.

I was going to stop with the tantrum scene, even with all it's animation splendor.. In fact the animation kept me going & I'm glad I did.
Also that munchie scene.. it was too accurate. Loved it.

Umaru switched her personalities between at home and in the public was nice.

I don't really like the part where she was angry and cry over stuff.

I have been following the manga up to the latest translation chapter and boy am I glad it got turns into an anime.
I still curious on how can she change so much in physical appearance.
Both of her appearance are cute so it's okay, but man I feel sorry for her brother lol.
The manga just got to the good part ;) and can't wait for more to come in here.

Umaru is too cute, although she's one spoiled kid. I guess her Onii-chan just can't resist her puppy faces. :3

Really enjoyed the first episode, Umaru is still as cute as ever, can't wait to see more of her in animated form. I'm surprised this isn't a short anime though. I don't if they announced the episode duration ahead of time but I assumed it was only going to be like maybe 5 mins per episode or something like that considering the mangas chapters are only around 8 pages long, I not complaining though, I prefer the longer episode length.

Same here.
I love the original manga but it didn't seemed to have enough amount of episodes to make a full length anime. So I didn't have a plan to watch this. But just few hours before airing, I knew I was wrong. It was a happy surprise to me.

Wow, this was.....fun! xD Really funny how Umaru is always chibi at home. xDD And the way how the studio animated her glorious NEET moments at home. Wonderful. xDDD

And I also like that this is a full length anime series. I would never want this to be a 5-minute short, because I fear that the animation quality might even drop. :x

This is really great and fun. I'll keep on watching! :D

I was expecting tons of comedic situations and gags, references to anime/video games (we only got 1 reeeaaalllly obvious reference, which wasn't even a reference, it was advertising, and some in the opening), and a likeable heroine but all I got was Umaru acting like a bitch to her perfectly respectable brother, her being perfect and knowing how to do everything and CHIPS! SHOOTS! COLA! SQUID! CHIPS! SHOOTS! COLA!

Blah, pass.

Just so so. 24 minutes seems too long for this type of show. The characters are ..i dunno.. something seems not right about them. I see myself dropping this within a few.

AOTS for SoL comedy this season. Didn't expect this, quite a surprisingly good show. The animation itself is also pretty. 8/10 would definitely watch until its over.

Not a bad start but for some reason, she really annoys me in her otaku mode in the anime. I was fine with it in the manga.

It managed to get a lot of chuckles out of me, but nothing more. Umaru is more annoying and spoiled than cute to me. I'll keep watching just in case it gets better, but so far it's just ok.

She's so cute in her normal form. Haha. Wish I could see her normal form rolling around in the house instead of the chibi version but that would be ecchi already.
