Dec 24, 2017 Tiemuuu Recommended Himouto! Umaru-chan's second season could be one of the more underappreciated comedies out there. It's safe to assume anyone who's considering picking up this anime has already seen the first season. My biggest gripe with the first season of Umaru was that the character herself was, for lack of a better word, a complete cunt. Even though her brashness gave the anime its spirit, the second season does a much better balancing act with the many faces of Umaru. The rest of the characters are as entertaining as ever. I certainly wouldn't have made it through the first season if it wasn't for Ebina and Kirie, ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 25, 2017 RogueChilli Recommended Umaru is one of those series whose main problem lies in having a premise that appeals to a target demographic (that of older teenagers and young adults) but is actually most enjoyed by another (young parents and siblings with bigger age gaps). I am actually impressed at how much I ended up liking this series despite having low expectations and reading some of the reviews of the original series. While not always having laugh out loud moments, each episode delivered and I always ended up with a heartfelt smile. *Semi-spoilers and Personal Analysis* Many people describe Umaru as bratty and annoying, but upon closer inspection I believe she ...

Jan 5, 2018 monokerus Recommended This is my first ever review on an anime show. Here we go! `(^.^)´ When I read that there would be a sequel to Umaru-chan I felt very happy and excited. Now I could look forward to meeting the characters again and hopefully get to know more about Umaru-chan and all the others in the upcoming sequel. Though I was a bit worried about how this show would be different to the first one, my worries was blown away after finishing Himouto! Umaru-chan R. If you are looking for something easy and ...

Dec 24, 2017 nanakox21 Recommended PLOT: Season 2 continues off with the momentum! This time, Umaru decides to take a leap of faith & be more outgoing with her friends. Her adventures gets more interesting with the encounters they deal with in every episode. Not a lot has changed to be honest... CHARACTERS: Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 31, 2017 myrnite Recommended Preliminary (4/12 eps) This looks more like a reboot to me, except with one upside—more goofier than the first season. Umaru-chan herself is starting to realize her laziness, and the other characters—they feel more characterized than before. Don't expect new characters—it's the same thing, except twice as better. We get more screentime for the side characters (like Sylphynford's brother) and more relaxing scenes. We get to see more of UMR, and we get to see Taihei and Ebina-chan together. The art style is the same thing as it was before, and the sound is also the same thing as it was before. I liked the opening and ending songs more ... Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 17, 2018 Eoussama Recommended Preliminary (11/12 eps) How the days go fast indeed, not only in the show, where 12 episodes cover a whole year,s but only in real world, where 12 episodes felt like a lightning flash, something about this show that really distinguished is from any other, even the first season feels like a stranger in comparison, your favorite references are still present, the wholesome jokes is as lively as ever too, but what's the real new thing is “actual plot”, not going to lie, the first season, was so vague, pointless stuff occurring in a typical slice of life comedy anime, but this one has a strange addition, you ...

Dec 30, 2017 thetsundereguy Recommended So Himouto! Umaru-chan got a second season which was pretty surprising for me, but I have to say that the series is pretty decent and kind of enjoyable to watch. This series is kind of enjoyable, it makes you laugh sometimes but its also kind of boring and annoying, like its predecessor. The art and story are pretty decent and nothing out of ordinary for a slice of life. The best thing about this anime is the characters, which they are pretty cute and really enjoyable to watch. For a slice of life anime is pretty good and enjoyable but somites it gets lazy and ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 6, 2022 otaku86 Recommended The second season is a lot better than the first. We're finally past the focus on the paradisiacal and gimmicky otaku life of Umaru and her dual personality. The focus now is the development of the characters' friendship and their daily life together. A lot more time is dedicated to the other girls and their problems and concerns, which actually makes Umaru more relevant and interesting as a character since this time around she can be more than something for her older brother to bear and clean up after it. We get a chance to see her more of her behavior as a friend and ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 15, 2020 RealWulfrin Recommended I love how season 2 was not that much different to season 1, it basically continued where season 1 stopped. Now, me saying that might make me look like a dumbass, but I've had the feeling that I was watching a 24-episode anime, instead of a 2-season with 12-episodes each-type-anime. Apart from that, it was still as enjoyable as the first season, still as funny and I'd recommend it if you want to watch something to relax your mind off of some stressful events in life. Umaru's back at it again, and it seems that she won't let go of her habit in a long ... Read more Open Gift Report

Dec 24, 2017 tigermaskshinobi Recommended Himouto! Umaru Chan, one of my favorite guilty pleasure anime. When I came across the first season, I don't know why but I was so hooked that I binged the entire thing so fast, since then I was really hoping for a sequel and I am GLAD we got this cause it is so enjoyable and just what I needed after watching some serious dark anime like Made in Abyss. I usually say for anime like this, there is really nothing much to break down, They are just made for you sit back and have a good time, but in modern anime, shows like this ...

Aug 17, 2018 DvaWinkyFace Recommended Himouto! Umaru-chan, an anime about a Mary Sue and how she abuses her brother to get what she wants. This may not seem like a good story for an anime but hear me out, this anime is hilarious! Umaru Doma is a girl that's popular in school, she has good grades and friends, however, when she comes home, she turns into a lazy monster, a spoiled brat who gets everything from her brother. This is the second season of Umaru causing chaos and while I enjoy both I think the second season does a better job with the characters, especially Umaru. The second season doesn't do ...

Jan 26, 2018 FaithXIII Recommended Preliminary (11/12 eps) When I watched the first episode of first season this anime turned out to be my number one anime. I watched the first season again-again every weekend after the hard work. I was so happy when they announced the second season. So let see my short review about this. I am happy because they didn't change the settings (same place, same soundtrack, same design), just new Himouto-s. Or at least I hoped for it. In the first season we already got to know how Himouto is our Umaru, and I thought there will be new ways to show this kind of lifestyle. This season concentrated about ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 25, 2017 LegendAqua Recommended Himouto! Umaru-chan R is showing more dimensions to itself than the first season did...in a good way. Ok, so as a person who was highly skeptical about the first season and the major problem/dilemma of the main protagonist Umaru Doma voiced by Aimi Tanaka and her "himouto-ness" and oddly by the end of the first season LA warmed up to it, LA wondered if this second season that appeared ut of nowhere will stick the same old scthick or try some different. It tried something different. For sure, the Himouto-ness of this second season is still there with Umaru being her usual self and all with one ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 5, 2018 nuestren22 Recommended I found the sequel to Himouto! Umaru-chan much better than the 1st season. I found the first one just ok, however because I need anime to just binge and binge and binge while I do my hobbies like knitting, I still watched season 2. Much better. Each episode was refreshing and a nice change of location and scene. We got to see Umaru in several other outfits and states, with more character interactions and also a better juicier plot. It sounds contradicting for a slice-of-life to have a juicy plot, but I feel like a slice-of-life should at least be a bit more exciting and ... Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 4, 2018 restlesssheep Recommended This is an anime that is best watched to calm down. The anime is calm , the characters are whimsical and it never takes itself too seriously neither does it suddenly forces something serious on us. The story is calm and just tells the story about a perfect girl who is a lazy brat in the background and how people meet and talk with her. Slowly we see her making friends and honestly through her own personality bring changes on the lives of people she meets through her kindness or innocence. It's a light hearted cartoon. The most "serious" theme it gets close to is how ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 28, 2019 hexashadow13 Recommended tl;dr: A solid continuation of the lighthearted series that's similarly amusing but now has just enough plot to make you want to know how things progress. This is a continuation of the story of Umaru that pretty much picks up exactly where the first season leaves off and continues in the exact same way. As before, there isn't really any overarching plot, but rather its the story of Umaru and her friends as well as their brothers plus a couple other characters simply living their lives, and just as before it's similarly quite amusing and enjoyable to watch. Things to note this season though that make ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 31, 2018 0hht0 Recommended The first ever girl who can change her height! (Not using magic of course) Himouto, as I heard, is a combination of hikikomori and imouto. From only the title, I knew that what I would see is a comedy, slice of life anime about a little sister who nail herself at home, also cause endless troubles to her brother. But so far, Umaru-chan has shown me the kindness I’ve never thought about. Receptive and Unique; those two adjectives is the best way to describe ss1. But at some last episodes, UMR-R makes me feel like I am watching a harem rom-com series disguises as a ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jul 21, 2019 JUBBB Recommended As a critic, I'm interested in what a story communicates, what it says directly or indirectly, by inclusion or by omission. Rather than, say, my personal preference for genre or art style. I think this series as a whole is somewhat of an unacknowledged gem. Why? Most who discuss it acknowledge its popularity, often with some degree of annoyance. The show is known for Umaru's obnoxious character and for being generally standard fare moeblob SoL packaged in such a manner to make it ripe for seasonal success but ultimately forgettable. I understand this take, I just kind of disagree with it. A good part of the show is ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 18, 2021 Upset_Nimbus Recommended I don't know what that R stands for but it has done wonders to Umaru Chan compared to the first season! Himouto! Umaru-chan R goes more into the relations of the rest of the cast compared to exceedingly showing Umaru and Taihei which is where you see too much of the bad side of Umaru (ex - Guilt-tripping and awful treatment) Even those interactions have been improved as she actually seems to show regret and even admits to faults at times which in the previous season was a rarity. What could have caused this? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that ... Read more Open Gift Report |
