Summary and What I think



Umaru Doma and her transformation
              Have you ever have anybody that you know having two different character when they are in two different environment? Well, this anime is about a perfect girl named Umaru. She is a perfect girl that has a perfect look, capable of playing piano so perfectly until her teacher cries and she kinda athletics when she is capable to swim faster than her schools swimmer. Sounds like your perfect girl? Haha think again, when she reached home, her character would turn chibi and her personalities are the complete opposite from her at the outside world. She loves to play games, lazing out while watching anime or go through wiki sites and when Monday arrives, she'll get a latest edition of Junpiece. The characters are fun to watch as it will tell the story of Umaru that live with her older brother, Doma at small rental apartment. Well, it is fun to embark on the journey into Umaru's world as it full of fun and the Umaru are too cute and her energetic character doesn't make you feel bored through out the episodes.
Versions of Umaru XD



Character development

Enjoying your moment eh, Umaru?
             Well, in term of character development, we can't say much about it since it is a light anime. However, we were hinted that Umaru and her brother are from a rich family. It was shown when Doma flashed back the memory when they were little, they lived at a penthouse (maybe) and also mentioned by Doma's coworker, Bomber that they are actually comes from a loaded family. Well, it still remained mystery for now. However, for this season we get to see how Umaru's changes from being an introvert or should I say a laid back type of person to a person who appreciated her moments with her friends. 

              
Umaru's Brother, Taihei Doma
               Besides, the brother love toward her little sister is shown by her brother when he afraid that Umaru would become like a NEET and urge her to socialize more and he would love her neighbour/Umaru's classmate, Ebina to join them on dinner and hang out with them. Well, Umaru have to act as her other self in front of Ebina to maintain her good reputation among others.

        Umaru also have good friends that she usaully hang out with. Her neighbour/classmate, Ebina-chan which has a feeling towards Taihei (sounds typical right, anyway I'm not into girl next door type of guy). However, Ebina is kinda of underdeveloped character to me (maybe not yet). A long life rival Slyphynford Tachibana (damn, so hard to spell it right), is also among Umaru's circle. And also the most hilarious character (and weird) is Kirie Motoba. Kirie Motoba is a very shy girl, but because of it, she appears kinda of a stalker (which make the character turns out hilarious due to the circumstance). But, she actually turns out to be a nice person and want to make friend with Umaru. Oh yeah, forget to tell you that Kirie doesn't shy to be with kids and that's why she doesn't shy to be with the chibi Umaru (which she called her Shishou/master) and of course, like anybody else, she doesn't know the chibi Umaru is actually Umaru.
Ganbare Kirie-chan!
Well, this anime is fun to watch and helps you to ease your tense with your busy schedule or after a heavy theme anime like Arslan Senki or others. What do you guys think of this anime? Leave us a comment down below.
