It's a freaking anime! Based off of a manga series where the MC's sister is a perfect highschool girl in her social life with high grades and lots of friends, but as soon as she gets home, she turns into a super-deformed fujo NEET who acts like an annoying little kid! The first episode aired today.



Characters'

Umaru Doma (土間 埋 Doma Umaru?)
Voiced by: Aimi Tanaka[2]
The title character, Umaru is a high school girl who on the surface appears to be perfect with beautiful looks, top grades, and excellence in everything she does. However, at home, she reverts to a secret lifestyle[3][4] where she wears an animal hoodie, acts lazy, eats junk food,[5] and is obsessed with playing video games, reading manga and watching anime.[1] While she is in this "indoor" mode, she is drawn in a Super deformed manner.[6] later calling herself Komaru (Umaru's little sister) when Kirie Motoba catches her in that persona.[7] She lives with her older brother Taihei. She wears a cap when she goes to the video arcade where she is a well-known gamer who goes by the initials UMR.[8] She later dons a mask to hide her identity from Sylphinford.[9][10]

Taihei Doma (土間 タイヘイ Doma Taihei?)
Voiced by: Kenji Nojima[11]
Taihei is Umaru's older brother who works at a company in systems support.[12][13] He lives in an apartment. His younger sister Umaru moved in with him about a year before the start of the series.[6] He is described as having a kind and methodical personality. He scolds Umaru when she acts lazy.[1][6]



Go watch it, and just go, just check it out!

He has a job so he's probably footing the bill for some of it.

He supports her entirely, including cooking and cleaning. It is not a good manga and I doubt the anime is any better.

The sister seems extremely annoying and unsympathetic. I hope blue hair beats her one day.

Real Japanese English textbooks have mistakes like this, so it's unsurprising seeing it on a 100% paper from a student.

Blue hair is the best, and she will feature prominently in the future.

They need to play up the Jekyll and Hyde stuff more by making chibi Umaru a serial killer. It wouldn't make her any less likable.

The brother needs to have some characters connected to him since I feel so bad for him having to deal with Umaru's poo poo while she also gets a supporting cast that doesn't have to put up with her poo poo (or at least learns about it and starts exposing it to everyone else)

ACTUALLY IT IS VERY GOOD THAT THE SHOW IS BAD AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T REALIZE WHY THAT'S GOOD IS AN IDIOT. JUST ENJOY THE BAD SHOW INSTEAD OF THINKING.

the brother's co-workers get recurring roles in the manga so he has more to do than "be exasperated by little sister"
