I'm slowly letting myself get back into animu, and this is me dipping my toes into the water. This video doesn't make as much sense on its own as I'd like it to, but that's because it's part of a larger whole. I had a lot to say, but I wanted to break it into manageable chunks rather than spend a month doing one 40 minute video. However, I also didn't want a bunch of redundancy in the writing of the series as a whole.

The unfortunate side effect of those two conflicting desires is that no one part is able to stand on its own very well, so this probably seems a bit underwhelming. Hang in there with me though. The next video covers all the stuff I hinted at in this one, but didn't really go into.

Anyway, part 2 coming soon.

Part one of a three-part video essay on Watamote's Tomoko Kuroki. This part includes the introduction and summary, a discussion of the show's depiction of social anxiety, and an analysis of Tomoko's worst qualities.

What does that say about me if I find your analysis right on point every time? I’m not joking, I may be dumb, but you made perfect sense of the different personalities of MLP in TLR. And now again you make me understand Watamote with perfect clarity. You’re a genius.

I know I've said this before, but it's worth saying again - I'm not really into anime; it's just not for me. But listening to you talk about something you genuinely enjoy is such a calming thing. As silly as it sounds, your gravelly voice combined with your pacing is soothing to listen to when it's about something you clearly love. So despite the content itself not necessarily hitting the mark with me, I still look forward to your next video on this otaku-weeb-desu stuff.

It pleases me that this says part one, as it implies there will be a part two.
