Synopsis

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.

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
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.
Neveri This is more of a words of recommendation/warning than review but I want to write it for those who think they need something like this."Himouto! Umaruchan" is about a girl named Umaru and her brother Taihei. They live together and most of the series follows the character dynamics of those two. Umaru has 2 different personalities: perfect in school and lazy junk food eating gamer at home. Most of the series focuses in the silly situations Umaru is getting in when she's in her "child form" (also known "at home" form).What more I need to say?? if you seek something very light and happy with no sad or serious topics this is the one for you. It's all about funny situations and cute things. If you seek something where you can forget your worries this is the anime for you. Nothing super serious, lot's of super cuteness! If you want to watch something with serious topics and real life problems this isn't that kind of anime. it's the first of it's kind I have watched and because of that it's very interesting and I like it a lot.
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.
