Himouto! Umaru-chan is a simple anime that involves a beautiful, intelligent, envy inducing (typical Mary Sue) high school girl, Umaru Doma. Himouto! is, essentially, the type of anime that will let you decompress and have a few laughs without sinking to levels. With Himouto! there is nothing to decipher. It’s basically the same feeling you got as a kid watching Saturday morning cartoons just great entertainment without too much thinking involved. Most of the anime I have the pleasure of watching has me searching for underlying meaning, symbolism, or unraveling some hidden mystery. Now, I know this sounds absolutely horrible at first glance, but it really isn’t. Most importantly, no life lessons or character growth will happen (though Umaru does comically shift in size quite a bit). No antagonist creating situations that will force everyone onto the edge of their seats. There’s absolute no beginning, middle, or conclusion to the series. Imagine an entire anime of basically filler content. I’ve seen people throw around the word “fun” when discussing it and, honestly, this series is nothing if not frivolous. Himouto! Umaru-chan is not an anime that can be easily described, despite how truly simple it is. Himouto! Umaru-chan is a cute story that follows the daily adventures of Umaru and Taihei, as they take care of-and put up with-each other the best they can, as well as the unbreakable bonds between friends and siblings. Whether she’s hanging out with her friends Nana Ebina and Kirie Motoba, or competing with her self-proclaimed “rival” Sylphinford Tachibana, Umaru knows how to kick back and have some fun! When she dons her hamster hoodie, she transforms from a refined, over-achieving student into a lazy, junk food-eating otaku, leaving all the housework to her responsible older brother Taihei. People are not always who they appear to be, as is the case with Umaru Doma, the perfect high school girl-that is, until she gets home! Once the front door closes, the real fun begins.
