Popularity isn't a choice, it's a lifestyle. Tomoko Kuroki's lack of social life is all due to others incompetence. After all, having clocked up hundreds of hours in dating sim games, Tomoko is well prepared for any situation that life happens to throw her way. So when it's three months into Tomoko's high school life and she hasn't made a single friend, least of all spoken to anyone, something has to change. Does the blame however lie in others or does Tomoko need to properly look at herself in the mirror? (MVM Entertainment)

English I was very curious about Kuroki Tomoko because she's just not a heroine you encounter every day in the anime world. Or at least, that’s what I thought. I admit that the parody was pretty fitting and the author did a great job (for example, the famous Death Note scene), but I just wasn't interested in Tomoko: on the contrary, I found her terribly unlikable. And this was compounded when we realized that she had no development. What you find in the first episode is there in the last. The constant repetition of the same pattern here didn't thrill me; in fact, it rather put me off. I'm definitely saying no to the next season. ()

English Because I’m not popular, I decided to rewatch WataMote — the story of a high school girl obsessed with popularity. Once again, I found myself rolling with laughter and cringing at the same time. Tomoko's inner world and her biting remarks about ordinary people are so relatable, it's almost embarrassing. This anime is incredibly original. Tomoko is an amazing character, wonderfully voiced, just like her brother. The series is full of interesting storylines and creative visuals, so there’s never a dull moment, even though it’s quite episodic and focuses on the same themes. When I first watched WataMote in 2013, it really resonated with me, and I loved it. I’m happy to say that even after more than ten years, it still holds up (and I’m still not popular). 9/10 ()
