Info

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. 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. 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! 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.

Himouto! Umaru-chan Audience Reviews

Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Irishchatter This anime was quite good and even funny, when Umaru always tortures her older brother Taihei for making him her slave whenever she's in "lazy" mode at home. I honestly wish I could have a bro like Taihei since he is so good to her and the fact he really is quite a likeable character! Although I know Umaru likes hamsters (so do I), but why does she become small and not her average height when she goes into the house? I have nothing against tall (like me) or small peeps but I just find it rather consfusing she keeps switching from one thing to the other. I meant confusing by are we concentrating on Umaru as a lazy bum or a beauty? I suppose we all have our own alter egos lol. Anyways this isn't really a big of deal but I was very curious while watching this anime lol!Definitely this anime would cheer you up if you're having a bad day or just want to get away from anime that would annoy your head. Although I personally wish they would concentrate on the other characters a little deeper but, it's still ok to watch!I'll give this anime a 7/10 for its humour and its need for deeper storyline
ayaalbalushi This anime is just so awesome! When I first watched it, I felt like I was in a whole different world. I never got bored of it. Never skipped any second!! Its sooo cute!! I hope other otakus get to see this anime. So it really deserves 10/10. No less, well that's my opinion. But I really recommend this to people who love comedy, slice of life animes.
phoenix 2 An anime that is entertaining enough without a solid plot. Actually, the story is so simple that doesn't appeal much. And yet, you probably have seen Umaru's picture somewhere, so that must justify enough for it's popularity. The sort adventure's of Umaru and her brother are simple but entertaining, as Umaru is a tyrant of a sister, always getting what she wants and a complete Otaku that has to have every manga or figurine or video game that is out. Her brother is quite the likable guy, putting up with his sister's outbursts and yet loving her dearly. Fortunately, the anime doesn't get into any brother-sister romance and just keeps it simple and funny. So, 7 out of 10.
anvesh-kanojia-27 i have not seen that much anime in my life, so when i went into himouto umaru chan i knew nothing about the plot or the characters. this anime is so heart warming ,cute and with a non linear story telling that i was stuck with it from the first episode, the character building in this anime is awesome, each episode we are introduced to new characters and after a while they all grow on you and you feel related to them. the main character is "umaru" who has kind of a dual personality, she is a brilliant , smart , hot, high school student when she is at school and in public, while at home she is lazy careless, gamer that is obsessed with cold drink and junk food. The brother of umaru is "taihe" who is a corporate worker, he is a guy who is serious with his life and work. and has to keeps up with all the silly things that umaru does.This whole situation makes quite a funny story of brother sister relationship. the voice acting is so authentic and great that the charters just feel so alive,umaru in particular,after a while i fell in love with all these characters and just wanted to be a part of umaru's universe. the animation is beautiful, music is beautiful, its a feel good anime, which focuses on little things in life that actually make life special. i loved every second of this anime, its my favorite anime.and now i am going to japan to buy all the plushy toys related to this anime.
