Well, with this, a whole cour’s worth of Watamote has just been completed. It’s sad to see it go for now, but I hope there will be more seasons adapting the manga in the future. That being said, I’ve enjoyed this series immensely and it’s definitely on my top favorites this year. Unlike others, I […]

There’s just much to say about this episode… I don’t even know where to begin. Since I’m busy preparing for my next college quarter, I’ll keep this short and simple. This is episode of Watamote left me with a very happy feeling. Not ha ha happy with its usual cringe comedy. But more of a… […]

Kii-chan! Tomoko and Tomoki have such a cute little niece. Looks like she didn’t inherit the “exhausted eye bag” gene. In contrast to the last episode, this episode picks up the awkwardness again… hard. I was actually twitching — no, cringing — at Tomoko’s attempts at keeping up her “cool, popular, not-single onee-chan” facade.

You guys don’t know how much I’m able to relate to Tomoko whenever summer break starts. “I’m going to have soooo much fun!” And then I end up doing nothing productive the whole break. Welp. Get a job you bum! Oh yeah, Jimmy Kudo and Doraemon receive guest appearances in this episode. Sort of.

Also known as “Spaghetti Spilling: The Anime.” ;_; I’ve read the manga for this series a long time ago, and as painful as it was to watch Tomoko fail countless times to become popular (in the same vein as watching the main character from the Boys on the Run manga fail time and time again […]
