Sentai Filmworks have recently announced that they have picked up the license to the anime series WATAMOTE ~ No Matter How I Look At It, It’s You Guys’ Fault I’m Unpopular!.
Also known as Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui! (私がモテないのはどう考えてもお前らが悪い!), this is a 12-episode anime series adapted from the manga series by the same name written and illustrated by Nico Tanigawa. The series is directed by Shin Oonuma (Kokoro Connect) and features character designs by Hideki Furukawa with series composition by Takao Yoshioka (Demon King Daimao) and sound direction by Saotshi Motoyama (From the New World).
Digital distribution of this series has already begun with plans for a home video release in 2014.
At the tender age of 15, Kuroki Tomoko has already dated dozens and dozens of boys and she’s easily the most popular girl around! The only problem is that absolutely none of that is real, and her perfect world exists only via dating games and romance shows. In fact, the sad truth is that she gets tongue tied just talking to people, and throughout middle school she’s only had one actual friend. All of which makes Kuroki’s entrance into the social pressure cooker of high school a new and special kind of hell. Because while Kuroki desperately wants to be popular, she’s actually worse off than she would be if she was completely clueless as to how to go about it. After all, the things that work in “otome” games rarely play out the same way in reality, especially when the self-appointed “leading lady” isn’t the paragon she thinks she is. There’s not much gain and plenty of pain ahead, but even if it happens again and again, there’s always someone else to blame in WATAMOTE ~ No Matter How I Look at It, It’s You Guys’ Fault I’m Not Popular!
