And through that, the show can make us feel attached to the characters. We learn more about Umaru from both sides of her lifestyle. Furthermore, each episode provides a better insight about Umaru as well. Their interactions with Umaru usually brings out the honesty of their characters. Each of them has a different personality that makes them stand out on their own.

The series also consists of other characters ranging from Umaru’s shy childhood friend Ebina, self-proclaimed rival Sylphynford, and the bizarre and frightening girl, Kirie Motoba. In retrospect, the show delivers what I would call a cultural comedy. Yet, the show satires that with her lifestyle at home. Umaru’s character is someone that people would least expect to be an otaku from the outside. The show makes fun of the otaku culture by saturating it with an immense amount of parody. What the series does well on this perspective is to demonstrate genuine comedy. This makes the show a bit odd at first seeing how each episode reflects on her double life style. At home, she is almost the complete opposite with a lazy lifestyle, obsessive otaku personality, and acts like a NEET. At school, she acts mature, friendly, and in general someone that people idolizes. The first episode easily establishes Umaru’s ulterior character. Essentially, that’s how this show is like. In recent years, they are better known for their work with slice of life stories. And I’m talking about the type of otaku storm where you have toīased on the 4-koma of the same name, the series is adapted by studio Doga Kobo. Really though, this series took me by surprise like an unexpected storm. Her brother, Taihei Doma, is kind of like the sidekick providing her shelter, food, and a sense of comfort for her when she’s living at home. Titular character Umaru Doma is the class superstar as well as the model that almost everyone looks up to. Each week, each episode is like an indoor and outdoor adventure of its own. Watching Himouto! Umaru-chan (My Two-Faced Little Sister) makes me feel like a kid all over again. but this does it so terribly that it's not even funny, literally. I can get behind anime with the pure intention of comedy like Gintama, Baka Test etc. She stays an annoying brat throughout the whole series. This isn't even a "this annoying character starts off as someone you hate but gradually becomes someone you love" type deal. I mean sure, let's bring in another character in different episodes, but it's the same exact thing that happens every time. The main character puts on an angelic front when she's out in public and everyone loves her, then she comes home and turns into an orange potato and does whatever the hell she wants and whines when she doesn't get her way. It's the same shit throughout the whole series. The characters are just not likable and the comedy doesn't vary. Do you even understand how much I wanted to stick my hand into the screen and bitch slap the ever-living shit out of this cheeto lookin' ass? You know when you go out, there's always that one kid who just screams and throws a tantrum because they're spoiled to hell and their parents don't do shit so you're stuck with this terrible annoyance that you can't do anything about? This anime is basically that. First off, the main character is a bratty teenager who basically gets whatever she wants and if she doesn't,
However this particular anime has a few breaking flaws. I loved Nichijou, Barakamon and the list goes on. I get it, the chibi form of the main character is cute and marketable, it's being used on banners and logos and whatnot, but it's all just a ruse. Things included in this show are unlikable characters, terrible comedy, and essentially everything you've already seen before.
