This anime, in my opinion, was sheer perfection. I love the whole slice of life aspect to the anime, though it did have its bad moments. I will warn you though, this show is not for everyone. But I think the reason why I personally love this anime so much is because I can relate so much to the protagonist.
Watamote doesn't really have much of a storyline. A socially awkward girl starts her first year in high school, and all she wants is to become one of the popular girls. But because of her awkwardness, she never reaches this goal and becomes one of the
...
"unpopular" girls. The whole unpopular high school girl thing is a total cliche in TV nowadays, but this anime presents in a non-cliched way; another reason why I enjoyed this anime.
The one thing about Watamote that I liked the most was the characters. This show just simply does the characters... "right". Each character has their own unique personality, which leads me to the main character: Tomoko Kuroki. Tomoko Kuroki is the protagonist of this series. Though she wants to make friends, and to even have a boyfriend, she is extremely bad at talking to people. She usually finds herself in very awkward situations. Her appearance and shyness gets her nowhere in developing good social skills, and also the fact that she usually ends up procrastinating. The only world world where Tomoko is successful is the Otome game world, where she can have as many "boyfriends" as she wants. Her only friend is Yuu Naruse, a preppy girl from her middle school, and she also has a younger brother named Tomoki Kuroki.
I loved the opening theme to this anime, as well as the background music. Although the opening title sounds very misleading, the lyrics completely relate to the anime. I can't really say much about the voice acting, because to me the voice acting in anime all sounds the same, no matter if its Japanese dubbed or English dubbed.
In the end, Watamote is, in my opinion, simply amazing because of how relatable I am to it. There is so much to love about this anime. However, I warn you that this anime is not for everyone. So there is also a lot to hate.
