I have noticed that my anime reviews get more views, so I shall do another anime review. This time on the Summer season anime Himouto! Umaru-chan. Let me start off by saying that this anime describes a lot of people, including me. This anime is about a high school girl named, you guessed it, Umaru. Umaru lives with her older brother. Umaru is also very very lazy when she gets home from school. She loves games, manga, anime, and junk food and cola. If it's junk food she'll eat it and if it's not junk food she won't. Umaru is a popular girl in school, she's good at sports and she gets good grades. You wouldn't even guess that she was lazy bum when she got home. Here's the catch though, no one but Umaru's brother knows about what she's really like. She can't show her true-self outside of her house.It is kind of sad that I can relate to this show on many levels. I am basically Umaru minus the gamer part and being popular. I've never been one for games, I get bored of them fast. This show is pretty relate able on many levels. It's a short show too, only 12 episodes.
This show doesn't really have a lot of character growth to it, it is just a short, stupid comedy show. I wish that they focused a little more on her brother. They tried to show more of his life and his past towards the end, just wish they added more to it. Her brother does so much for Umaru, he buys her so much stuff. There were times throughout the show that I had to ask myself, "where does he get all this money?" You learn in the show that Umaru and her brother are from a rich family, but I can't help but question why her brother lives in a small apartment when he is rich.I wish that this show had a few more episodes, because they never said why Umaru moved in with older brother. I was wondering that question throughout the entire show. Alas there is only so much that you can explain in 12 episodes. Maybe this show will get a second season. I know that a lot of shows lately have been getting a second season, so maybe this one will too.
