Why did Watamote sell so poorly despite being such a good anime?
It's your fault it's not popular
>>134664025
Moeshit sells
Reverse moeshit doesnt
Its not hard to understand
「私がモテないのはどう考えてもお前らが悪い」っていう理由かも
It wasn't popular because ______
Plebs have shit taste and big wallets.
>>134666395
Nips don't like real life events in anime
>>134664025
otaku hate looking in the mirror for obvious reasons
Too close to home. At least NHK had some wish fulfillment stuff going on.
>>134664025
Because this is what happens when your average otaku watches/reads it.
>Sees Tomoko
>"OMG, look at that loser!"
>Takes a look around his own desk
>suddenrealization.jpg
>"That's... that's me isn't it?"
>blink.jpg
>"Nah, I'm not that pathetic, and this thing is trash anyway"
>Convinces himself of that
>Tells all his friends not to buy it

Was a NEET, got an education and a job.
My life is still shit and I hate myself.
>>134664025
It's the same shit happening over and over again, it got boring after 1 episode and a pain to watch after three. All of it can be summed up by a sentence: a socially retarded girl doing socially retarded things. You might as well go to the psychiatry ward and laugh at the retards.

>>134666494
>>134666699
Some argue that it is the self irony that makes otakus watch this shit.
>>134668455
>a socially retarded girl doing socially retarded things
>boring
then why is k-on so popular?
4chan was the reason that saved Watamote in the first place. Why did they think the anime was going to sell at all?
>>134664025
Because otakus couldn't face someone who resembled themselves.
>>134668964
How does k-on even compare?
Here we have a full social retard who can't say 2 words to anyone not her family, and constantly making the worst decisions and deductions in every situation, which becomes predictable really fast.
K-on has one slightly autistic girl who sometimes does something out of place. There is also the music.
>>134669349
/this
>>134670035
>slightly autistic
now that's an understatement
>>134666699
Then there's the others
>oh I would talk to Tomoko!
>I want to hug Tomoko
>Tomoko would be my friend
>I want to fuck Tomoko
No she's not your friend. If they went outside for a second they'd realize Tomoko is like a 3DPD girl, and ignore her
>>134664025
>good anime
>>134664025
Its boring
>>134670998
You should look up what autism is, rather than relying on 4chan users to tell you...
>>134664025
>No S2
>Now has no scanlation group either
>Yen Press hasn't released Vol 8 in the West
Series is DED
>>134664025
It hit too close to home for the wapanese. Also, how do you expect it to sell merchandise etc.
>>134672834
Time to learn moonspeak then nigga.
>>134664025
It was repetitive and set in highschool.
meaning her pointless angst over dumb shit could've gone on for a long fucking time.
Whereas Welcome To The NHK was far more poignant, relateable on an adult level, not about silly peer pressure either.
>>134664025
Dude, it said explicitly said"It's your fault I'm not popular"
>>134664025
Because it hit too close to home.
That said nips have poor taste because she is cuter than any of the moeshit they churn out every season.
>>134673567
NHK's Japanese discs didn't do better than Watamote's
>>134673567
NHK was also a lot of FUCKING NOTHING
>>134664025
>such a good anime
>>134674178
It's reputation will last a lot longer that's for sure.
>>134674276
Whut?
Did you miss the part on the rumination of adult existence a and how barely being able to function to being able to just function was the grand happy ending?
Getting there from being self indulgent and immature to finally realizing shit had to change?
Nigga, please.
Why are Watamote threads so shit?
