>implying this show makes me feel good

I laughed a bit in the first episode but every episode from then on I just haven't been able to watch. It doesn't make you feel good, it makes you cringe and feel depressed.

Surprise surprise!
Real life is not a fucking comedy, there's a lot of shit people have to go through too, this manga shows it

Think how different the show would be if there were no music at all. And no sound effects. It could end up being really depressing.

This show is not a feel good show for socially inept people.
It gives me flashbacks to traumatic experience from my time in school and makes me feel horribly depressed.

Son, being a virgin is the least of your problems at that point.

Tomoko is just stupid as fuck. It isn't even her anxiety or how awkward she is. Everything she thinks of, everything she tries, every little scheme she concocts is so fucking stupid and naive. Her own stupidity is the reason why her life is such shit.

Getting yelled at by the teacher for forgetting her textbook and not being able to speak up about it, and then being perceived as rude because she can do nothing but laugh at her own misfortune is her fault?

It's like they think that when you're quiet, you're just not talking because you think you're so smug or something.

>>90025319
http://tokyotosho.info/ has the torrent

>>90024909
It has anything a commedy show needs though.

Some punchlines in the manga were great and since it's episodic you see less suffering then you should.

I had a lot of emotions towards the MC. She has a brilliantly good side to her but she has so many problems with herself you rarely see that.

But in the Anime she is wimpering far too much I assume. She is supposed to talk to others in a silent and stuttering manner but the way she does this in the Anime really seems far to extreme. Maybe it's just right but the contrast feels much bigger in comparison. I believed that she almost normal when she was talking to the middle school girls in the manga though. At least the rageface was fitting.

>>90024909
it's comedy that you relate to it is different.

You're supposed to laugh at what a dysfunctional bitch she is and relate because you were the same way. She's just some dumb kid who blames her problems on everyone else instead of accepting how horrible she is and having the willpower to improve. The title of the manga is just one big in joke.

I love how it adds onto the manga in a good way like adaptations are supposed to.

it also gives me more feels too

>>90025404
It's like a shark smelling blood in the water. The teacher knows those other kids won't listen to them and it will only make them look stupid to confront them. But when the quiet kid defies them... they think "finally here's a fucker I can bring the hammer down on."

>>90025601
Meh. Not really. She talks a lot of trash inside her thoughts. If anyone actually confronted her, she would be a weepy mess.

>>90025601
Sure thing that it's meant to be ironic. However as long as noone is willing to help her doing the first step, it's kinda a never ending circle.

It also depends on the situation shes in. She often takes too much of a shit over herself. Expecially when she is showing her true self and begins to cry.

It's just shown as so extreme so more people can relate to her in some way or feel pity to her in some way. She needs someone to actually relate to in order to somewhat find conclusion on her problems.

In fact, some M/a/d scientists also concluded that the only cure of her suffering might be the D.

>>90024812

I agree with this sentiment.

>>90024458 (OP)
So there is no way that it might be a show for normal people to feel sorry for her instead of a "I know that feel"-show for socially inept people? Why not?

Honestly tomoko is about how 90% of us were/are. All the people trying to hard to deny it/turn on full defense mode just prove it even more.

How long until facebook/leddit/etc normalfags start to post "I'm such a nerd! Like tomoko xD xD xD!"

Probably until a faggot like you starts pretending to be them.

>>90026223

Too bad Japan hates this show because it really hits home on how pathetic otakus are.

Yes, japaneses are whiny faggots.

>>90026223
>I'm such a nerd!

>>90026223
Hopefully never. It's not selling that well, is it?

Sure is fun watching people get into this series and react in the same way others did with the manga.

>I LIKE TOMOKO CAUSE SHE'S JUST LIKE ME

>>90026346
In Japan, but what about the west?
Just see what happened with SnK.

>>90026362
People don't like Tomoko because she hits too close to home. She is literally exactly the same as most /a/nons, which means it's painful for them to watch.

>the only reason why watamote popular enough to become because it got enough sales from the manga
>majority of the sales come from overseas

>>90026362
What about the guys who realized that they are bitches like tomoko and sticked with the manga anyway?
We're the choosen ones?

>>90026362
Like someone said in other thread, Japan's reaction is: "Wait, I'm not trash like this!! How dare you!?"

>>90026346
Majority of its sales are going to be coming from the west and im pretty sure its going to be quite big. Hopefully.

Once she started quietly crying after the teacher berated her, I realized this is not really a funny show.

>>90026555
Why, sure, but that's not how Japan works.

>>90026364
SNK's popularity is entirely due to how well the first episode set up the story. It completely flopped after that. At this point it's just riding the popularity of what it could have been.

I don't see anybody talking about watamote outside of here very much, so it will probably lose whatever attention it had once it's over. And to begin with, SoL shows aren't very popular in the west (unless they're made by kyoani)

What the show really nails is how she is -constantly- aspiring to be like other people then rationalizing her failure telling herself how awful they are. Its one of the few times I've seen that done so well. Protagonist loners are usually beautiful people who are slackers or whatever, but shes not attractive or popular and has no real positive attributes. She spends her day doing mental gymnastics because she only has herself to keep her company, and when she does hang out with people she judges them by this impossible standard that ends up with her being lonely again.

tl;dr NHK all over again.

>>90024964
Yeah by the time i was a senior i had done all of the 'basic' sexual actions at least once.
I really don't understand how you can get out of high school without at least getting your dick sucked.

>>90026555
>>90026602
I half agree. The sort of self conscious/self-loathing attitude and how she blames other people for her problems, and escapes using anime/manga/whatever seems pretty realistic.

The awkwardness is played up x1000 though.

I know this stealth mode in class way too well.

>>90026724
Let's face it she's alot more attractive than actual loners would be.

>>90026774
>The awkwardness is played up x1000 though.
I don't know about that. I'm not anywhere near as socially retarded as she is, but I've seen a few rejects in class who come pretty fucking close.
There was one guy who dropped out in my second year of college. By the time he dropped out, I'm pretty sure I'd never heard him say a full sentence. And I was paired with him more often than not.

I... relate too well to this show. Everything from not having friends in high school to trying to call in sick every day. Repressed memories a-ho!

>>90026894

When I literally see myself in the mirror I see her.

I still laugh my ass off when she fucks up because it reminds me of my own mistakes and many situations where I was in the same feet as her. However the reasons for my own suffering were entirely different which makes it not seem like I am watching a TV series about myself most of the time.

The series acutally made me want to shout
>Hey girl, cheer the fuck up. Noone is mad at you. Just enjoy your life without longing for shit that you will probably dismiss as something that is probably uninteresting when you actually have it.

The opening even reflects that. Metalcore about trying to become happy and getting friends? You can see where the story is heading too after watching the opening.

Happyness attained through stress, this series really redefines irony.

And as long as it stays ironic I am totally fine with watching it.

>>90026044
>In fact, some M/a/d scientists also concluded that the only cure of her suffering might be the D.
But since her brother is the only guy MC can talk to there would be a nasty set of side effects with that medicine.

>>90027016

I know school life with friends and without friends. It's annoying with friends but without friends school is unbearable.

>>90026774
The awkwardness play up is what helps make it a little less miserable and adds the comedy a bit more..if it was full on "realistic" which it could easily be it would be pretty bad.

>>90027016
True, but for me it was because of social anxiety, and not because I didn't just not want to go to school.

Because Watamote is popular here on /a/.

>>90027886

god, would you stop shitting up threads?
Nobody cares, you're not smart or witty, or above the possible-samefag in any way.

Fuck off back to le reddit or whatever dung heap you came from, you absolute faggot, and let the rest of us shitpost each other in peace.

The one when she watch one guy's anime?

>>90028088
I meant the cringing.

>>90028133
No, the one with the honey.

>>90027927
I could never get over that..like if I'm watching some show on tv and I know that character is going to do something stupid/cringeworthy to ruin everything most of the time I have to change the channel even when I've watched it 1000 times.

i guess something really is wrong with me ;_;

>>90028017
Tomoko is right about all those fucking normalfags, though. Being in highschool fucking, instead of goddamn studying like they should be.

God, i hate normalfgas.

>>90028135
Because it feels too close to home if you don't cringe in the episode where kii-chan and Tomoko go to the library then you don't belong here.

>>90028164
Studying in high school makes you a normalfag too.

>>90028164
It must be tough having the maturity of a 12 year old.

>>90028191
No, it doesn't.

It doesn't, anon.

>>90028180
>it feels too close to home if you don't cringe in the episode where kii-chan and Tomoko go to the library then you don't belong here
what if you never did anything in school ever?

>>90028191
But that's wrong

>>90028280
Yes it does. If you think otherwise, it proves you're a normalfag already.

>>90028070
Yeah, it is. Just because you're too busy feeling embarassed about yourself doesn't mean the rest of us can't feel embarassed for other people.

>>90028295
Still.
I didn't have any trouble "real" trouble in school but still.

>>90028280
>study
>people see you studying
>people come to you for help
>become popular tool

This was one of Tomoko's delusions.

>>90025136
I liked 8man better, so bitter and smug.

I love what this thread turned into

>people do things that I don't do?!
>GOD WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE SO STUPID!?!?

>>90028403
If anyone is normal, then noone is.

>thread falling apart

>>90028444
Sorry you cringe while watching cartoons.

>>90028408
Still feels to close to home.

>>90028486
That last episode had a lot of places where I had to fuckin' pause because I couldn't take it. Especially when she was sitting there with those boys at the bus stop or whatever.
