Is watamote a good to watch manga? I don't mean about yuri but in general.
One of the very greatest slice of life series of all time.
Otherwise, not so much.
At least the manga lets you pace yourself. I watched the series without reading anything else, just coming off of watching welcome to the nhk and reading the light novel, and I literally had to watch about 15 minutes at a time and then go do something else. I would compare it to the first ten minutes of Kotarou-san.
You're right; the manga series lets you choose your own time. The anime series is like one of those roller coasters that snap your neck around and send you to the hospital. You have to cope when riding them by saying "It's fun! It's fun!"
The fact is that if Watamote had stopped where the series stopped, it would never have been a masterpiece, just a brutal story of a doomed person.
Incredible voice actress playing Tomoko, though. That and the opening song made it all worthwhile.
