Scenario
This anime is about a certain unpopular girl, totally trivial story!
This is how it startsJ. This anime is a awesome story
for a unpopular girl and is struggling to be noticed and escape lowliness and
despair!
Last Spoiler Warning!
Analysis
If I had to talk or describe a perfect opening, I had to describe
Watamote. It was all the parameters that I think an opening should have.
Reflects perfectly the anime, giving a perfect trailer without spoiler,
has a great song and instrumental (I immediately was thinking in the Death Note
awesome music opening), it transmit the spirit of Watamote, anger, struggle
(the chains element), the fight back of the character (Break the chains) and
the dialog present in the song giving an aspect of she, against the world!
(Watamote ~ opening)
For me, this anime had everything, from literally Laughing Out Loud, to
cry deeply and feel sorry and empathy for Tomoko Kuroki. Even an amazing
ending sequence, that is very rare for me to like of an ending. (Two endings I liked in 2013,
see Danganropa Review).
Now returning to the content of Watamote, I enjoy a lot this anime beside
the fact that the history development is practically null, with exception to
the last 2 or 3 episodes. The mechanics of Watamote is despair, make Awesome
Plans to be popular, fight, hope, fail very badly, cry deep, rise up and repeat
from the start!
I think this is one of, that Love or Hate anime! Who feel some empathy
to the character, probably growing with the same miss-fit feeling! To who never
had popularity problems or a total different tastes from his “friends”,
probably will ignore Watamote.
I need to also refer, the strong symbolism that this anime had, with
other anime, with several gags, especially with Death Note! The high
quality animation principally when Tomoko starts with his total awesome fantasies!
?Future Seasons?
Well I really don’t know if I want to see more of Tomoko miss fit
adventures, if the studio decides to let Tomoko grow and to start to break her
bad luck, I will say yes I want to see it, but if it was to show more misfit gags
well maybe an OVA but not a full season!
