 "A book capable of analyzing all the absurdity of the 20th century only to disassemble it piece by piece, with dizzying content richness."

 "A language that transcended the words themselves, almost as if it were more a dialogue with a reader who, in the end, was not very different from the narrator himself."

The review praises Louis-Ferdinand Céline's novel as a revolutionary masterpiece that uses everyday speech to critique 20th-century society. It highlights the dark, humorous tone and the vivid journeys of the protagonist through war, colonial Africa, and urban decay. The novel's innovative language and deep insight into human suffering and death set it apart as a landmark in French literature.

 "WataMote doesn’t want to be an anime. It wants to be horrific and wonderful, boring and intriguing, sad and funny, all at the same time."

 "The tragedy seems to give way to comedy, but exactly, it 'seems': it’s nothing but an illusion."

WataMote begins as a lighthearted slice of life comedy but gradually reveals a deeper, darker exploration of loneliness and self-perception. The protagonist Tomoko’s misfit status invites viewers to reflect on the blurred lines between comedy and tragedy in real life. The anime’s subjective portrayal of reality and its unorthodox style elevate it beyond typical genre fare. Despite its lack of a traditional ending, it leaves a lasting impact as a psychological and emotional journey. Discover WataMote’s unique mix of humor and raw emotion—watch, reflect, and experience an anime unlike any other.
