Himouto! Umaru-chan R

A spectacular season finale with a Christmas theme, gifts, and lots of love among our friends. Best of all, everyone is being warmly appreciated by everyone else, charming way to close the season. 9 out of 10.

This episode is one of my favorites. A lot happens that helps us better understand several characters. I love Ebina’s personality, she’s so sweet. 9.5 out of 10, to be honest.

The episode jumped from one thing to another too quickly, it felt like the transition between the two storylines wasn’t done very well. I hadn’t noticed that before in this series. It’s always fun to see the girls together and how each of them thinks individually. 6 out of 10.

This episode brings a lot of nostalgia about how quickly things can change, while also beautifully conveying the meaning of things, friendship, and the passage of time. I thought it was a great episode. 9 out of 10 for sure.

In this episode, the viewer’s attention is drawn with a very interesting comparison between stories in manga and real life. It’s a lovely episode, and the full group of girls together is always very fun—solid 9 out of 10.

Another adventure of Umaru and her friends that turns out to be very fun. It’s charming how they all try to become better just to please each other, even though they already like one another. I like each of their personalities. This episode is a solid 8 out of 10.

This finale is PERFECT. It doesn't tie everything up in a neat bow.It doesn't force Umaru to confess her secret or change who she is. It just.lets her be. She's still a gremlin. She's still selfish.But she's also grown. She's made real friends. She's learned to care about people.

As christmas approached again, I wish they showed that in school like changing classes to make the plot more immersive and easier to follow but that's just me. A sweet ending and they were able to show all the casts without making it seem forced.

This episode is a STRONG entry. The Bomba and Kirie sibling dynamic is hilarious you can tell they've been fighting their whole lives. Umaru mediating their argument with video games and cola is peak character growth.

This episode is a masterclass in showing, not telling. Umaru doesn't have a big speech about how much she loves her brother. She just... nurses him back to health. Eats her vegetables. Comes home early from the manga cafe.

Taihei as the perfect kind husband is the main topic of this episode perfectly highlighting his kindnness and influence to people around him. it is good that they gave him weaknesses to prevent him from being too perfect and make him mor relatable for added realism.

Bomba giving Taihei a camera because life is short. The department store closing forever. The hamsters needing love, not just protection. Endings and beginnings all mixed together. This episode hits different .

Kirie choosing to help instead of compete. Umaru feeling genuinely hurt instead of throwing a tantrum. Quiet sadness instead of loud anger. Everyone is growing and it's beautiful to watch.

Another heartwarming episode and I love that they showed more in-depth character development through character flashbacks that helped us understand and immerse to their emotions. The four schoolmates interactions really brings smiles because of the grat lines and music.

This episode is a BEAUTIFUL turning point. Kirie's ferris wheel scene is genuinely emotional the moment Umaru transforms to comfort her is the sweetest thing this show has ever done. Sylphyn's candy store nostalgia is warm and heartfelt.

This episode is STRONG. Kirie's backstory wanting to be a children's book author is a great addition to her character. She's not just the scary-faced girl with a crush on Umaru. She has dreams. Ambitions. Vulnerability.

This episode brought a mixed bag themes and greatly delivered, like how they created the nostalgia vibes during the amusement park scene before revealing it being taken down. I like Ebina's progress while maintaining character and the cute relationship of umaru and her hamsters.

Hikari's growling moments are so cute. The innocent interactions of our cast always makes you smile and their happiness is always relatable and infectious like Umaru being happy when Tahei gets praised. Hikari's entrance was well timed and needed to give spice to the anime.

I have to be real this episode is mostly filler. The first half with Umaru and Taihei is great, but the second half drags. Taihei's coworkers aren't developed enough to carry scenes on their own. Alex is there. Bomba is there. Kanau is there. They don't do much.

The characters ongoing development is really well paced and this episode follows that. The sibling duo theme has been very predictable but I applaud their consistency to the trend as we see Hikari be introduced. A heartwarming episode with great vibes and plot progress.
