While the anime is touted as being a part of the slice-of-life category, it certainly never felt that way. There are times where she will overwhelm Taihei’s patience and he may snap at her, but for the most part, the two always seek out each other’s company. While she’s a bit nutty in how she whines and complains to her brother, throughout each episode, there is never a feeling of mean-spiritedness. The feeling of shedding the day’s stresses away to settle down and play a few video games and binge watch anime is an AWESOME day in my book. One of the reasons I ended up loving Umaru so much is because she’s easily relatable. Umaru will throw tantrums, whine, and cry until she gets what she wants from her poor older brother Taihei that has to put up with her crazy antics on a daily basis, but somehow the two always seem to find a compromise. The pretty clothes come off, her hamster blanket comes on, and from there everything is fair game! Umaru overindulges in video games and junk food, refusing to budge an inch as she watches her latest anime episodes. Once she gets home though, Umaru undergoes a drastic change in personality and appearance. She’s a good girl who earns good grades, is kind to her peers, and can complete any task set down in front of her with relative ease. Umaru Doma is the perfect high school girl everyone admires and wishes to be someday. I’m glad to say a second season for the series was announced for the fall of 2017 since I couldn’t get enough of Himouto! Umaru-chan: Complete Collection from beginning to end. There was even a video game version of the series that came out on the PlayStation Vita that released on December 3, 2015. The series started out originally as a manga by Sankaku Head before it was serialized in Shueisha’s seinen manga magazine called Weekly Young Jump.
Himouto! Umaru-Chan is hand’s down probably one my favorite anime to date and for good reason.
