Umaru is a little poo poo but she's not the problem with the show. It's the unrealistic older brother who bends over backwards to cater to her every demand and enable her. But it's anime norm at this point for female characterization to get blamed for things that are really the fault of the shoddy male self-insert.


Try watching a Danchigai episode. Now THAT is an awful brother.

So when Umaru goes into hamster-mode, does she hunch over and make herself look smaller, or something like that? Kirie couldn't tell the difference between her and her "younger sister".

I guess. It's anime logic so thinking too hard about it might not be worth the effort.

Also, Yandere Kirie Doujin when?

I think it's just the fact that she wears the hamster suit makes people assume she's a younger girl if they don't recognize her.

My parents split up after they had me, presumably to make siblings more efficiently.

We see her in non-hamster mode wearing the hood and she looks a lot younger and childish in general.

The series is better when not focused on Umaru being a spoiled brat to her brother. It's even better when Sylphy is involved.

I think both 'views' of her are meant to be exaggerated, obviously tiny hamster girl is clear but the whole super perfect idol is also supposed to be not real. The glimpses we see of her in the hood 'normal' seem to be the real her, just kinda a normal young girl who, when she gets all dressed up in nerdlord mode looks way younger than she is.
