ayaalbalushi This anime is just so awesome! When I first watched it, I felt like I was in a whole different world. I never got bored of it. Never skipped any second!! Its sooo cute!! I hope other otakus get to see this anime. So it really deserves 10/10. No less, well that's my opinion. But I really recommend this to people who love comedy, slice of life animes.
phoenix 2 An anime that is entertaining enough without a solid plot. Actually, the story is so simple that doesn't appeal much. And yet, you probably have seen Umaru's picture somewhere, so that must justify enough for it's popularity. The sort adventure's of Umaru and her brother are simple but entertaining, as Umaru is a tyrant of a sister, always getting what she wants and a complete Otaku that has to have every manga or figurine or video game that is out. Her brother is quite the likable guy, putting up with his sister's outbursts and yet loving her dearly. Fortunately, the anime doesn't get into any brother-sister romance and just keeps it simple and funny. So, 7 out of 10.
Neveri This is more of a words of recommendation/warning than review but I want to write it for those who think they need something like this."Himouto! Umaruchan" is about a girl named Umaru and her brother Taihei. They live together and most of the series follows the character dynamics of those two. Umaru has 2 different personalities: perfect in school and lazy junk food eating gamer at home. Most of the series focuses in the silly situations Umaru is getting in when she's in her "child form" (also known "at home" form).What more I need to say?? if you seek something very light and happy with no sad or serious topics this is the one for you. It's all about funny situations and cute things. If you seek something where you can forget your worries this is the anime for you. Nothing super serious, lot's of super cuteness! If you want to watch something with serious topics and real life problems this isn't that kind of anime. it's the first of it's kind I have watched and because of that it's very interesting and I like it a lot.
Tweekums Protagonist Umaru appears to be the perfect high school student; she is beautiful, popular and top of her class… then she gets back to the home she shares with older brother Taihei she puts on her animal eared hoodie and becomes a total slob. She lies around playing video games while eating crisps and drinking cola; she expects Taihei to provide everything she demands; much to his frustration. She is so different at home that some people believe that she must be her younger sister. Over the course of the series we see her getting into various amusing situations.Whether you enjoy this series almost entirely whether you find Umara to be an entertaining character or whether you believe that she is just a selfish brat… both opinions are quite understandable. Personally I thought she was pretty funny… and at times genuinely hilarious. Her character design was great; when she is outside she is tall and beautiful but once she gets home and dons her hoodie she is drawn like a young child so it is believable when people who know her believe she must be her younger sister. While Umaru is slobbish and self-centred she is still a nice person at heart. The other characters are fairly entertaining too; one can't help but feel sorry for Taihei as he has to cope with his lazy sister. Overall I found this to be a really entertaining series although I can see how some viewers might be put off by the protagonist.These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
