Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita!

In a span of 6 months, Doga Kobo has bestowed upon us with two miracles. Uzamaid and Wataten, both remarkably similar in concept, and yet are both miracles nonetheless. Join me in prayer, my brethren, as we thank the Gods for this bounty, delivered upon us by Angels. Bless us, O Doga Kobo, and these, Thy anime, which we are about to receive from Thy weekly televised screenings. Through Yurihime, our Lord. Amen. Wataten is at its core a healing yuri comedy. What truly makes it stand out are its characters. Characters are likable and have actual development without coming across as one-dimensional. They have depth and chemistry with one another. You could bundle any two characters together and have a good time watching them work on each other's characteristics and relationships. It's good stuff. Everyone is just so cute and adorable. The innocence of childhood is portrayed exceptionally well in this, and at times it makes you long for the days of your own childhood. Indeed, it is a band-aid for the hole inside one's heart. (Though tragically a band-aid is not a permanent remedy for the hole in your heart). Like with Uzamaid, the series really kicks into high gear with the introduction of the psycho-lesbian-stalker-pervert-yandere around the halfway point of the series. This new character shakeup is exactly what keeps both series so engaging and fresh even after the halfway point. The recontextualization of some prior scenes as well as the addition of another chaotic element into the mix of character interactions is very much welcomed in this show. What I appreciate about Doga Kobo's adaptations is how they sometimes take liberties with the source material they are adapting. This in turn allows for better pacing and allows the show to progress more naturally than if it had adapted the manga more strictly. (The original was a pretty short 4koma series after all.). To put things into perspective, the finale of the series essentially turns what was originally a single-panel page into an incredible 15-minute long musical masterpiece. The musical alone had moved me emotionally moreso than the entirety of Manaria Friends. That's a testament to the excellent direction and composition of the adaptation. The show is just very easy on the eyes. The manga's slightly pointy character designs got chubbier and rounder designs, with the soft color palette compounding the relaxing atmosphere of the whole show. While the background OST isn't too great or memorable (it's the standard Doga Kobo comedy track you've grown accustomed to all these years ever since Yuru Yuri), it works and doesn't get in the way too often. Consistently funny, yet poignant at times, Wataten truly is a blessing upon us by the Angels above. We give Thee thanks, Almighty Goda Kobo, for all thy anime, Who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen. 8/10 The Yuru Yuri San Hai to Uzamaid's Yuru Yuri.

How this anime started made me want to clear my browser history and wish I used a VPN. Most shows have some form of underlying message to them, whether it be to better yourself, there's more to life than work, power comes at a price, follow your dreams, etc. Whatever it may be you can find some form of message, and if I'm being overly kind to this anime I would say it's 'you can still make friends', however this is portrayed in the weirdest/creepiest way imaginable. Miyako is a shy university student that rarely leaves the house and doesn't have any friends. Her younger sister Hinata invites her friends to their house to play and meet her older sister who she adores. Miyako has Hinata and her friends dress up in cosplay outfits that she made, takes photos of them modeling in the creepiest way while obsessing over 1 girl in particular, she then buys them off by baking pastries. If the message is 'you can still make friends' why is it gone about in this way, this is legitimately the behavior of pedophiles! The humor is overshadowed by these pedo undertones and the jokes are typically at the expense of Miyako with the punchline being the police will be called on her for acting the way she does. There is little to no character arc, how the characters are written at the start is essentially how they are in the end. I think most viewers are tricked into believing there is some character development between the ones who are a stalker/obsessive and those who are being stalked/obsessed over. The more I reflect on what was shown the more it comes across as mild Stockholm syndrome and not genuine character development/growth. So many questions are raised throughout the anime and essentially no message should be taken away by the viewer. Why is Miyako so obsessed Hana? Why is it portrayed it's ok to buy off Hinata and her friends with sweets? What is Miyako doing with all these photos of Hana? She never mentioned it was for submitting them for her university studies. And why is there an unmarked van outside my house now?! Here's my takeaway. Don't accept sweets from strangers. Don't do anything a stranger asks that makes you feel uncomfortable. If someone is stalking you get a restraining order. If you have a child look into getting a nanny cam.

A comedy about a young adult woman who is attracted to a loli. This should not work yet it does. So before the FBI nabs me, let me explain why this show is worth the risk. This is the type of story that is a taboo no matter where you go. It’s a challenge to get people to invest their time in a show where the main selling point is adult women being attracted to lolis. Yet the story never makes it overly creepy. Instead it’s actually pretty funny. The good kind of comedy to where you don’t feel bad about it. The story itself can be summed up as cute girls doing cute things but the way it’s handled works out. The characters especially the older one has some cringe moments but the funny moments come in fast enough that we ignore it. The rest of the cast is just that cute girls doing cute things. The art and animation is what needs to be mentioned. Usually moe blob doesn’t do it for me but the art is the perfect way to offset the subject material. Sound is alright. Has that cutesy vibe to it. So overall don’t feel bad about watching this. Yes the premise sounds creepy, but in reality it’s pretty funny and worth a watch.

Look. I know that this scoring might look weird. But like, this honestly has the makings of a good slice of life show.... HOWEVER. This show makes pedophiles and stalkers seem like nice people. It's a very interesting show. I enjoyed analyzing the motives behind the adult characters while fearing for the safety of the children. But that's just it, this show is an ironic like. Not an actual like. I hate that people genuinely like this show. Story: I don't appreciate a story about someone who is old enough to go to college finding elementary school girls attractive. She gets her just desserts when she's stalked by another girl that goes to her college, but this is still really creepy. Art: This show honestly has really good art. It's not enough to make up for the fact that the show is about a pedo, the children they like, and a stalker. Sound: I never noticed anything off about the sound, which is a generally good sign that they did things right. Character: The kids were cool, the adults were creepy. This is not comforting, and I believe the person who designed these characters should be put on a watch list. Enjoyment: I enjoyed hating this show. Overall: 1/10. The only people who can't accept my score as a valid opinion are pedophiles.

I can describe this anime in one word: cute. It doesn't have much else, but damn does it nail one thing down. I started watching this because I thought it would be funny. It seemed like a lesbian pedophile lol. The first few episodes had it. It was a college student creeping out a grade schooler. As it went on things smoothed out, less creepy, more cute. While my friends think I'm a pedophile, this anime had some great art to add to its characters. Most loli characters fall under too slim or too chibi. While this was more on the chibi side, it really fit in with the anime. This anime was fun to watch. It is a good destressor and warms your heart. The last episode has me in tears for no reason

Not really spoilers so not marking it as a spoiler, but this review does mention that certain episode numbers are "X type of" episodes. (Beach type / Camping type / School Carnival type etc). So if you consider that to be a spoiler, consider yourself warned. If you, like me, do not, than proceed. On the surface this is a cute sweet slice of life about a mostly shut-in shy college student, her sister, and her sisters friend she thinks is cute and wants to dress up on cosplay outfits. ON THE SURFACE. If you're a child watching it that's probably all you get. If you scratch JUST beneath that surface you pick up STRONG pedo vibes from the girl as she gets warm fuzzies and heart poundies looking at the ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENT. She makes her a large focus of her life and will basically do anything for her approval. Think of her a pedo with power-reversal tendencies. IF YOU TAKE THE MAIN CHARACHTER OUT OF THE SHOW, it's sweet and fun and a nice slice of life. (Lets not get into how everyone just brushes off the hyper-stalker-obsessive-to-dangerous-levels "best friend (she didn't know she had)" who is obsessed with the main character in return. The art is decent for the genre and style, not exactly dynamic but works perfectly for what it's trying to do. The music is great and I would heartily recommend the musical (children stage production style of musical) episode 11. The voice acting is on point, at times scarily so. It's a "little" weird though that not a SINGLE person in the show, any of the young kids, the 2 older ones, or anyone, seems to have a father. Males just do not exist in the show. Not even as other people sitting in the desks at school. Fellow students, fathers, whatever, they just don't exist. I take that back, 4 were cosplaying as ninjas for a theatre troop for about 15 seconds. I'm ASSUMING they were male from build. But hey, given the rest of the show I could be mis-gendering them. If that's the case those characters have my apologies. (There weren't even any male teachers or people hosting booths at the school carnival.) It was just, weird. The sad thing is I actually enjoyed the show. But I had to seriously keep mind-wiping myself of how just down-right CREEPY the mind-set of the Main Character was. It wasn't "oh this sweet thing, how cute and precious, I must protect and nurture". It was "ooh she's cute, I'm getting heart poundies and want to hug and squeeze and do things with her" vibes. Just .. Wrong. But like I said, if you can mind-wipe that aside when it comes up, the rest of the show is quite good. Disturbing still in places, but good. Your mileage may vary.

Here we go again, no different than Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru(Uzamaid) but at a er..safer level? - Not really much to say besides.. .. .. Miyako i couldn't see her as a pedo,pedo, but her level of "Too cute" has gone over it's limit to where she gets touchy when watching the anime you see she isn't as going too far like that..er..buff maid in uzamaid, but instead she wants to dress and force cosplaying on the little angels(jokes on me) which kinda does make her look like a creep but the thing is when the directors are smart enough to use a female as the main character people may think it's a get-away ticket, because it's a female declaring the fact, that if it was a male it would of been a straight F.B.A OPEN UP. raiding dungeon no holding back. but I'll give it.. A 10. because of how beautiful the story it's self was. No not the touchy touchy, just the story. . . . PS. Be good..Miyako we're always watching...~

In literature, there is a saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” There is another similar one in anime, “Don’t judge an anime by its first episode.” Some would argue more than that, but you get the idea. More often than not, the first episode in any anime does not always represent what you will be getting for the rest of the show. In recent years, anime studios would have the idea of making the first episode the most eye-catching or batshit crazy one of the rest. Then the rest of the episodes come off tepid or dull compared to the first one. Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita, shortened as WATATEN, fits as an example of this, although from a different result. It gets more fun and enjoyable from beginning to end. One word to describe WATATEN is adorable. Seriously, if you don’t like moe or cuteness in anime and are one of those that think it is a blight to anime as an art form, this would be their antichrist. This is one of the most cutesy, moe anime shows I have seen in a long, long time. Not just from the character design perspective, but the voice acting in the episodic stories. There were moments when I would go crazy from the cuteness displayed by all the cute little girls. So this is just a fair warning for those who may not be prepared for something like this. Then again, look at the poster, and you can probably already guess what is in store here. In the first episode, we are introduced to the main heroine, Miyako, or Mya-nee. She is introduced as someone infatuated with one of her little sister’s friends, Hana-chan. Many have interpreted Mya-nee to be a pedophile based on how she shows her affection from the first episode. That episode is probably the most “creepy” interaction Mya-nee shows in the entire series. Again, this is sort of a thing with many writers these days to make the first episode absurd and crazy to entice people to keep watching. However, as WATATEN goes on, Mya-nee’s antics do not go far into pedo territory as it comes off more as that adult that can’t help but love how cute a child is and would want to protect it. Wanting to dress Hana-chan in cute cosplay clothes makes Mya-nee have a hilarious charm to her that never struck me as creepy. Maybe it’s the fact that the show has a shoujo-ai tag to it that might throw some people off, but it never comes across as too lovey-dovey like other anime of that genre. Mya-nee herself gets better as a character that is adorable and hilarious to see in what she does and says to the girls. We learn more about her as a character, making her less two-dimensional than what you would expect of a protagonist in these types of anime. The interactions with her little sister, Hinata-chan, are hysterical, and a few of them almost feel real to how I know some friends with little sisters interact. What gives Mya-nee her adorable charm is Reina Ueda's performance as her. She sells this character from her frantic embarrassed voice and how wacky she inflects her voice whenever Mya-nee goes crazy. The rest of the girls that make up the quintessential cuties (Hinata, Hana, Noa, Kanon, Koyori) all have their unique personalities that brighten up the show. Hinata is the energetic little sister that you both love and hate if you were her sibling, just like every other little sister. Hana is Hinata's best friend that Miya-nee loves unconditionally of how cute she is. Her calm/stoic demeanor does change ever so slightly when she sees something sweet or eats pudding; that way, she won’t seem like a one-note character. Nao is the funny, energetic blonde child who always gets perturbed whenever Miya-nee doesn’t think she is the cutest, resulting in hilarious moments. Kanon and Koyori do have their moments, but they barely get enough screentime for me to remember much about them. That is not to say they are bad; they just could’ve added more scenes with them, including garnering any memorable ones, unlike the previous three. Many people compare this to UzaMaid because another little girl character is in a platonic onee-chan relationship with the female protagonist. However, unlike that anime, WATATEN does not feel as tedious with its jokes about Mya-nee being all lovey-dovey with Hana-chan. They don’t just involve one girl to another but preferably multiple ones. On top of that, they aren’t just the same joke pulled repeatedly from every episode. Each episode goes into different scenarios where all the girls go through a different situation and don’t feel tact on. The cuteness factor only goes up all the way through, which made me feel giddy with anticipation every time I start an episode. With a studio like Doga Koba, you know you will be into a visual treat of cute goodness with titles like Himouto-chan, New Game, and Gabriel DropOut under their belt. While WATATEN does not stand too far off from its comfort zone, its art style has a pastel color scheme to the backgrounds and the character designs that give it its distinctive look. Unlike the previous anime I’ve mentioned, WATATEN‘s designs look more fluid and less conservative in the line drawings. It makes everything look a little elegant. The OPs and EDs fit the anime perfectly with its lively singing in your usual cutesy tone. However, they’re nothing too substantial for me to download on my PC, unfortunately This anime was the season’s palate cleanser. In other words, something that you can watch without thinking too hard about it. If I were to make a comparison, it would be Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka. Something to make your heart warm and fuzzy, nothing else. We all need at least one or two in every anime season and hope they are good at their craft. Maybe not another one where there might be contention to debate whether the protagonist might be a pedo. Whatever gets people talking. Grade: A-

Must say I started to watch this thanks to the memes and I don't be sorry. A slice of life anime is always good when you're tired of all the classic shounen/seinen stuff of the season and this isn't an exception. A good story like all the animes of the genre. Nice art of the characters, background and of course the music with an enjoyable opening. An ok character development, you can't demand too much of an anime like this. With a wonderful final, this anime could be great to see occasionally. Overall 8 You must see this if you're looking for something to makes you happy for at least 20min in every chapter.

This show... How do I even start with it? I skipped on it originally as the "creepy lolicon onee-san crushing on a little girl" sounded pretty uncomfortable, especially for a show labeled as yuri. In reality, it has some pretty weird vibes, but it's also a damn solid comedy and nowhere near as bad and the summary and promo art made me expect. So, to get the most problematic part out of the way, the main character definitely falls in love with a 10-year old and there's enough subtext on her part to creep the viewer out from time to time. On the flipside though, the show itself is not in any way lolicon fodder, keeping everything related to the girls cute and innocent, and always comedically pointing out the creepiness of the protagonist's obsession. There's also very subtle romantic subtext between some of the girls, but once more, extremely mild and age-appropriate. Beyond the weirdness, the show surprised me positively in a few ways. It's a 4-koma adaptation, so the humour is full of quick, situational gags and witty dialogue and while the jokes threatened to become stale mid-season, the episodes stayed varied and creative enough to never become boring. The character quirks of the main girls stayed consistently fun and the protagonist's social anxiety and awkward otaku fascinations were always balanced out with her positive qualities. The end result is a surprisingly well-balanced show – and combined with catchy songs and good visuals, maybe the best one in this formula I've seen since Yuru Yuri. If you approach it with an open mind, you might find a surprisingly lot to enjoy.

This show is definitely a little creepy, but I don't really have a problem like that like everyone else does. I mean, it's fiction right? No one is actually being this creepy, and I don't really think anyone is going to become a pedophile after watching a show like this, so it's ok in my book. If it was real life, I would have a problem with it, but it's not. I've also watched uzamaid, but that show was worse in the pedophile department and I did have a few problems with how the characters acted. That said, I liked that show too, but not as much as this one. This show starts out pretty creepy (as in lesbian pedophile creepy), but then the more you watch the less creepy and the more wholesome it becomes. It's really cute, one of the more cute moe shows that I've watched, it's decently funny, the animation is surprisingly good, and I really enjoyed it. It's by no means a masterpiece but honestly, for what it's about, this show is actually pretty good.

This show has yet again relit my flame for cute shows with cute anime girls, and I absolutely loved this anime from start to finish. The voice acting was cute (hinata's VA did a great job) , the animation was fluid and matched comedic cues, soundtrack was fitting with each scene, and the art style is way too damn cute. The show does exactly what it's meant to do, showing cute anime girls doing cute things I have no complaints about the story, I was never expecting something grand or complex and the show professionally delivered a great slice of life with a simple yet profound message, "Give it your all towards the things you love". It was also nice seeing how the characters had small areas of growth throughout the series and I think despite the magnitude of change, it was better than some shows where they just have characters staying the same way even after the show has finished. overall 9/10 Can't go wrong with cute girls doing cute things.

This show has cute characters, cute moments, and I laughed at their jokes a few time. Love Noa alot! And the art is pretty appealing! So its not really a bad show, but there was one thing that made me question this anime. Its miyako. I see reviews saying that she's not a pedophile and I see reviews trying to justify her actions but its so blatantly obvious!! Who in their right mind think its okay to lure kids in with sweets to manipulate them to wear cosplays? PLUS SHE FALLS IN LOVE WITH A KID!! She got turned on by being in a small space with a kid, she took pictures of a kid under her dress, and she gets excited when she wears her outfit. Normal??? I think not! When shes not being a lesbo pedo, i kind of like her. But most of the time I feel sorry for the kids :/

This is one of my favorite slice of life anime. Every character is so well designed so that you can tell there personality by looking at them. The story was about someone coming out of their shell and becoming a better person. Overall, great show. I honestly could recommend this anime to anyone. I love the setting of every episode. The way everyone acts around each other gave me a laugh multiple times. I enjoyed every second i watched this. Overall this was a great anime with amazing art and adorable characters. (Seriously I wouldn't be able to say no to Hana)

There really isn't much to say about this anime except for 2 things If your looking for an anime with a good plot, this anime is not for you because there really isn't any plot. If your looking for anime that has cute and funny moments then this one is just for you. Second thing is the art. That is what made me watch it. I really do like this art style. I don't find a flaw with the art. The art style made all the characters look adorable and made the scenery look beautiful. I would give this anime a 7/10

This is a weird series, not due to its "Uzamaid" style concept, but in its execution of its concept. To put it bluntly, very early on there's some heavy lolicon bait and huge implications that the main protagonist is into kids. This direction is dropped later on and the show gets reworked into a cute girls doing cute things show where one of the girls happens to just be a kind of NEET older sister. Story 4/10: So little sister brings friend home one day and cosplay outfit making NEET older sister gets infatuated with her cuteness and wants to make her wear the outfits she makes. She lures her in with sweets and gets a squirmy feeling in her chest whenever the child is too close or too nice to her. A shift in theme later happens that kind of confuses me as to who the target audience for this series was, as the relationship between the MC and child takes a back seat and it turns into a series about kids helping the protagonist deal with her social anxiety and mature a little bit. Art 7/10: Always consistent art from this studio. Character designs generally uninspired but there are a lot of great animation sequences mostly around the little sister character. Sound 6/10: Literally the only reason sound is getting a 6/10 for me is because of the "Mya-nee" sound byte that it will drill into your head throughout the series. The only adjective these girls know is "cute". The music is nothing memorable. Character 6/10: The MC is kind of not all there. She's into this kid, she's manipulative, she's lazy, and she tries her best not to leave the house because she can't handle having a normal conversation without fumbling over her words. She's only redeemed in the eyes of the child protagonists because she is really talented at making sweets. Top tier waifu /s The child protagonist kind of plays the straight man to all the other characters, is generally either stoic or creeped out, but has moments where she's really perceptive and can read the situation well. The little sister is the best character in the series. She loves her family to the ends of the earth and in her eyes her older sister is the brightest, coolest, most special person in the world and can not be swayed otherwise. Lastly, the character that rounds out the main cast just happens to be their neighbor that has the goal of being the cutest she can be. She's the social butterfly, the big dreamer, and she has every intention to let you know that. Enjoyment 5/10: Overall 6/10: This series is just okay. It takes the cute girls doing cute things concept and tosses in a taboo almost as bait (which I assume was used mainly to get people talking about it when it aired), this taboo and the themes it presents never go anywhere and towards the end of the series is just left as a loose thread for a cast of otherwise interesting characters.

This review will have some insignificant spoilers of the first episode. There will be another warning before it. Pros: + Very beautiful animation + Adorable characters + Pretty nice humor + The last episode <3 Cons: - A 19 y.o. girl trying to get under a 10 y.o child's skirt In-depth: Why, anime? Why do you have to be like... this... Wataten is an anime about a 19 year old antisocial girl, Miyako, falling in love with her sister's friend, Hana. She begins, like any hikki, to awkwardly hit on her. Become friends, occasionally touch her etc. It's mostly very innocent, gentle, made in cute pastel colors - everything for a viewer to feel good. And it would be a nice story, except for one fact. Hana is 10 years old. Suddenly, it's not cute, it's "WTF? Somebody call the police!" But of course, since Miyako is a cute awkward girl, nobody thinks it's wrong. Can you even imagine the same story, if she was a guy? It all started with some innocent "ah, my heart beats so fast when I see Hana" - and ok, I can live with it. Love is blind, but keep it to yourself. But no, then it escalates into "I want to touch her", "I want to dress her up", "I want to take a picture of her underskirt"... wait... what? The only thing I can say in defense of this anime is - the author knows how creepy it is. There are constantly situations when the viewer is reminded of it. And so, Hana... (spoilers, you can skip to the next paragraph if you don't want any at all) Hana is a smart girl. She actually fights Miyako's attempts, slaps Miyako when she tries to touch her, even wanted to call the police at one point. And after the first interaction, she even didn't want to come back to the house with this "creepy lady" (her words). But that is of course until Miyako promised to give her sweets, after which Hana decided to allow her to do anything with her... like... seriously... how is this cute? This is creepy as f... Fine. Enough about this. Let's actually talk about something good. And don't get me wrong, there's a lot this anime does right. It's not nearly as bad as, say Boku no Pico which, to be fair, had a VERY similar premise. I really loved the way Wataten looks. It's stylized to look like it was hand drawn. The pastel colors are beautiful. The character design is really-really cute. And the animation itself is pleasingly smooth. It is probably one of the prettiest anime I've seen this year. The music... was there. I'll admit, I didn't pay attention to it, it was just a background. I only remembered that it existed when it stopped playing for comedic effect. So at the very least it wasn't annoying or distracting. Just not something to stand out. The ending was really fun though. Not my type of music, but I loved the video. A cute dance by cute characters? Yes, please! Always. I'm also pleasantly surprised by the voices (original). The actresses were, for the most part, fairly unknown. Hana was even the first role for the girl that voiced her. And she was great. None of them were bad. They were all charismatic and sounded good both when they talked and when they had to sing. Great job. Now, all the pedophilia, and thus, Miyako, aside, every other character is insanely cute. Although, I also can relate to Miyako a bit. I also hate when consultants in the stores talk to me -_- And again, to Miyako's defense - Hana is indeed amazing. Her deadpan face, calculating mind and realistic view of the world always made me happy. Hinata is charmingly obsessed with her sister. She's energetic, brave, generous. And she is a very big liar, but even this is cute, because she believes her lies herself. Plus, girls with fangs are always cute. In anime that is. In real life it's just gross. Still, Hinata is awesome. If there is a reincarnation, in the next life I want to be born as Noa. Aside from the moments when Hana and Miyako give her existential crisis, she is the most happy, positive, resilient and of course, cute person. You could mistake her for being self-centered and narcissistic, but surprisingly, she's probably the most reliable and selfless character in this show. She saved Miyako countless times. I love her. Yori and Kanon - OTP. Now THAT'S an adorable relationship. I love that Kanon never lies when she says that she relies on Yori. She doesn't just say it to humor her, she really thinks that. This is the relationship I actually want to see evolve. Matsumoto is a fantastic karma, since she makes Miyako feel as uncomfortable, as Hana feels about Miyako. But other than that, she's also terrifying. The story is... kinda non-existent. It's a slice of life comedy, what do you expect? The comedy part is pretty good though. There were quite a few times when I was laughing out loud. And ignoring Miyako's creepiness, everything in this anime is very cute and relaxing. Every other relationship is adorable. And when Miyako dials down her creepiness, even her relationship with Hana doesn't look THAT bad. But you really have to try hard to ignore how disturbing it is. In conclusion: This is a very light, positive and beautiful anime. So overall, it's a decent recommendation if you want to relax and watch something cute. Of course, if you can ignore the pedophilia part. The last episode had a fantastic first half of it. Even if you don't want to watch everything else, I can at least recommend you watch that part - you don't need context and it is a great, albeit a little cliche, story.

This anime was quite decent but I feel it does have it's issues. Sound is quite good, Story is kinda iffy but for the most part it's OK , the character's are where it becomes a issue and that influences the story, most characters are OK but I feel the story make's quite a serious topic a thing of no consistence and even have some characters comment on it and say it's kinda bad or fishy at best but shrug it off as an attempt at comedy, what I am revering to is the case about stalking and pedophilia. The main adult figure "Mya-nee" had a stalker that knows everything about her down to her specific measurements and personal info and the they brush it off and simple say oh and move on and the pedophilia also involves "Mya-nee" who has a deep attraction to an elementary student (witch google says is 10 to 11 for japan) and even goes as far as to basically proposes to her in the 10th ep by saying if Hana stays with her she will keep providing sweets and candy no mater the Hana's age and the story basically says stuff along the lines that would be very fishy and Hana herself says she doesn't like it but really likes the sweets and candy and it's OK even tho Mya-nee is kinda creepy even going as far as to pretend to call the police. If you can overlook this and watch it as a simply cutesy story then it's an ok story and very linear narrative despite Mya-nee being very creepy especially to Hana and it's not even trying to be subtle about it, plenty of scenes have it front and center.

Where I come from down in Texas (YEE HAW for my boys out there) anime is seen as a classic family pass time and when watched watashi ni tenshi ga maiorita! I thought "japan has really crossed the line" however I would soon realize that an anime angel had flown down to me. The presentation is nothing special but the colorful art style really made the light hearted comedy hit harder. The soundtrack is nice but forgettable. I really appreciate the cute little details that remain from episode to episode. Sometimes this anime is very as the kids say "sus" (especially in the OVA) but that never becomes so prevalent that it prevents the show from being enjoyable. this review is bad forget about it. can i delete a review?

If you like odd duck characters like Tsukimi in Kuragehime and Tomoko in WataMote, then you'll definitely enjoy Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita!. This show is centered around Miyako, a social phobia ridden, cosplayer obsessed, deviant university student. She skips class as much as she can (I assume so, we only see her going to school once), hates going out, can't go to stores because she can't handle eye contact with the cashier and to make matters worse, she becomes very infatuated with Hana, an 11 years old student, a friend of her young sister, Hinata. Don't worry though, this is one of those pure and wholesome Shoujo Ai shows. We get to follow Miyako, Hinata and friends as they go around the house playing games, cooking and dressing cosplays made by Miyako. There are very funny moments in there but this is one of those feel-good shows more than it is a comedy. The feeling of progression and story is presented through Miyako trying to (more like being pushed to) become an adult while getting incredibly insightful help ans support from a bunch of kids. Hana in particular is very much an adult despite being in a kid's body. Well, at least when it comes to anything else that is not sweets. Give her a cookie and her brain shuts down. The balance between Miyako weirdness and the moe characters is a great combo. It keeps everything interesting and going forward. This is the perfect anime for people who kinda like moe but can't take too much sweetness without a break. Miyako offers perfectly embarrassing moments to keep you interested. She goes from bribing kids with cookies to almost getting arrested by acting like a complete creep during the summer festival. It's all good though, the kids vouch for her and she's let go. I'm sure it's a memory that will come back to torment her from time to time for all eternity. It's nice to see how Miyako slowly improves thanks to her sister and friends. She even starts to get popular... not in university of course, but the elementary school students from Hinata's class are convinced she must be the best person ever! I'm not sure about the best ever but you can see she has the potential to become a very sensible, dependable adult. Sometime soon. For now she's pretty much a wreck though, which is fun and cringy to watch. And that's why you would sit through this in the first place. All the characters are very colorful and bubbly, which is perfect for the tone of the show. Music is nice and equally bubbly. I hope they make a second season soon.
