(I really tried to explain how that "thing" feels like.)

I really don't like to see those overrated animes. I don't why but, animes getting better until the score 8. But after the score 8, it goes worse.
I don't usually give low scores to animes. But this one is not an anime. So there is no problem.

Story
Let be honest there is nothing special about the story.
I can't even find the sentences to describe how basic it is.
Also, there are many questions about how those things are happening. The mystery... But I don't really care about those things. Because I generally watch animes for the characters I ... don't really care about the story part but it was an average.

Story/Characters
This was the kind of story I really don't like. "The puppets of the writer". While watching the "anime", I really didn't understand why they are doing those things, why they are acting like that... I know, they love each-other but this is the worst part. Why they love each other... Because the writer wants it.

Characters
Most of the characters are the personalities I don't like. But it doesn't matter because they don't really have personalities. They are just puppets. It was like watching some characters that controlling by a child. None of them have feelings. I didn't feel anything while watching them. I couldn't make any connection with myself. They were empty.

Art/Sound
I don't give my art scores for how beautiful they are.

Art
As I said before this is not an anime. This is just a basic love story that has mysteries and drawn in anime(ish) style. The art is really nice to watch but that's all. If this was just an art competition, I would give it a 10. But the art of "anime" was absolutely bad. It doesn't even deserve a score.
The art in anime should make you feel the feelings of the characters. This is what makes it special. But It was just like watching people on the street. In real life, you can't know how people feel, but you should be able to see the feelings in an anime. You can see the feelings by using of many styles in an anime. Even with just using of the facial expressions. You may don't look like that in real life. But an anime doesn't care about how its look like in real life, it cares how it feels. But this was just like watching a movie with anime(ish) draw style. So It doesn't even deserve a score.

Sound
The sound was a little bit better but not enough. It was just like the Art.

Enjoyment
I didn't feel anything. I didn't even cry. I couldn't connect to any of characters. It was basic. I really don't understand why the people like this. But watching the ceiling is much better than watching this anime.

What is this?

Supernatural, mystery?
No, this is a love story.

Love story?
I didn't feel anything.

Feeling of the characters?
What characters? I didn't see anything alive.

I really should give this 1 but people worked really hard on it. So I'm going to give it 2.

Honestly, I couldn't even watch the "Anime". Because it keeps saying
"Watch me, give me 10. See that thing, it was beautiful right?!?! I am a masterpiece. You should give me 10. Give me 10. I'm a love story. I used everything to make me looks like a masterpiece. I'm not good but it doesn't matter because I'm the describe of a masterpiece."

I'm just gonna explain this with short sentences.

Story
...I always smile but my eyes are sad ... It hurts like hell
(I don't like obvious animes. It should tell me the story with little parts. I should find the meaning by myself. And This is one those animes. Others are feeling like.... fake)

Art
...rise ...
(Art was fine didn't see too much anime element but there was some when it's needed)

... Sound
...Shatter me
(There is nothing wrong with sounds. And screams and cracked voices are perfect. You can feel it in your own throat. You can feel the feelings of the character)

Enjoyment
...Start breathing.
(There were parts that I cried. And There were parts that I laughed)

This is a very valuable anime for me, made me smile every episode, and it was also more than just a comedy.

The Intro is awesome. I am holding myself to not get up and dance while watching the intro.

First, I don't only like it because it's a "slice of life" anime. I usually don't watch an anime because of the topic or type. I watch them because of the characters and their personalities. (if I like them or match with the people I know).
And Umaru is a wonderful character. Her cute angry moments, her smug grin and her little moments that she changes her ... mind or does something by thinking her friends, basically her whole personality is 10/10. And all of her personality fits with her childhood. That's awesome. She is the only character that makes that anime valuable.

BUT, she is not a character that everybody would like. I know exactly the people who would hate it. And I know exactly the people who would love it. She is a type of character that you would like or hate. So this is a type of anime you would like or hate.

The other characters are fine. I can match them with the people I know from real life. And they are just acting their personalities. So, didn't see anything wrong with them. Especially Ebina, all of her lines and acts are matching with her history and personality.

Overall, characters are very realistic I can match their lines and acts with real-life situations. And they are very lovely.

For me, art and drawings in anime are about feelings. Anime is about feelings for me. Others just a normal film or series that is drawing in an anime like style. Anime different because you can see the feelings in that art. You can match a feeling of a character with a memory of a feeling that you had before.
A very simple example is when a character lays down to bed after a very long day, you can match that character with yourself. In real-life maybe you didn't look like that but it was the exact feeling you felt before.
There was nothing wrong with that in the anime. The art perfect in its "own style".

Talking about the story is tricky because there is no an obvious story.
It's a slice of life and daily life anime. The thing makes it loveable is the characters. But the story part was very rich too in its own style. Umaru's childhood, Ebina's history, Taihei and Umaru's childhood memories. There are many little lovely moments in their life. Just like real-life. It was good for how it suppose to be. I really wanted to see Alex Sylphinford and Umaru together but It didn't happen ^^

Of course, there are many Master-Piece anime better than this little Daily life anime. But It was a Master-Piece in its own type.

It's my 2nd favorite slice of life anime. Simple(?), lovely and funny.

So overall it was perfect for me. Every little moment, every little reference, every little part that I found in my life. It was perfect to watch it. Also, she reminds me someone that I know.
