REVIEW: 

I found this anime very cute. There's not much about the story because it's just the events on the life of Taihei and Umaru but I like that there is character development for them. It was absurd to see how normal, fabulous, and popular Umaru is outside herhouse and lazy she is inside. You can see why there are others who doesn't like her especially since she kind of abuses her brother a lot but she's a fun character. She likes to tease her brother a lot but when a situation is serious or if he needs her - she gets serious. I also like the other characters. They're fun to watch. I like seeing Umaru develop a life outside her home and gain more friends.

• I love Taihei. He was a very amazing brother and I admire him for staying strong even though Umaru abuses him a lot but he sure does spoil her a lot. I wonder what happened to their parents though?
• I love that even though there are points where Umaru's tantrum got annoying, she's still very adorable. She likes teasing her brother but when he needs her (like when he got sick) she becomes someone reliable. She's also beginning to appreciate the things and people around her more because of her friends.
• I love Taihei and Umaru's relationship. Umaru annoys her brother a lot and Taihei gets mad at her a lot but you can still feel how much they love one another. 
• I like Ebina. Her character is cute and she's very kind. I wonder why Taihei hasn't told her yet about the guy who could be her brother?
• Kirie is a fun character. I like seeing how much she cares for Umaru. It's just sad that she keeps on beating up Bomba.
• I love Bomba. He's very fun and warm towards Kirie even if she does beat him a lot.
• I wonder when Umaru will tell everyone the truth about her? I hope she does because it sure looks like everyone will accept her for who she is. 
• I love Umaru and Sylphin. At first, I got annoyed at Sylphin but the more we find out about her, the more you realize why she acts the way she does. She's lovable once everyone got to know her.
• It's fun seeing everyone not realize that Kumaru/Chibi Umaru is the same as Umaru. Especially Bomba.
• I was shocked that Sylphin and Alex are siblings. I thought they were lovers at first *shudders* and they're rich???
• Umaru is so admirable outside her house. How the hell does she do that? How does she maintain very high grades even though she plays around at home? 
• I wonder what's up with Hikari? How come she and Taihei also has a bond? I like how Umaru didn't like her at first but when she realized that Hikari's just lonely, she allowed Hikari to spend time with them.
