History YMMV / HimoutoUmaruChan

* HilariousInHindsight: One of this series' many {{Shout Out}}s is the "Gapcom" game center employee who looks like Ryu from ''VideoGame/StreetFighter''. Then ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV Arcade Edition'' brought back fan favorite Sakura Kasugano, and her official story is that she now works part-time...at a Capcom game center. Like mentor, like student.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Many fans who followed the manga for its unique take on a sibling relationship were not pleased when it began to focus more and more on Umaru's social life rather than Umaru and Taihei at home (in particular, there was a span of about ''thirty'' chapters where the Doma house was not shown at all). With several detractors even claiming the GenreShift into a FourGirlEnsemble is to the series' detriment. Thankfully, the author seems to have noticed the criticism and has worked more Umaru and Taihei chapters in between the social ones.

** WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another meme from Website/FourChan. The phrase was originally used by [[FanHater Fan Haters]] to denounce the anime, specifically Umaru-chan's SuperDeformed chibi self, by posting it along with [[http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/005/034/c05.jpg this image]]. [[InsultBackfire The fandom took it and ran with it.]] [[/labelnote]]

** Umaru herself is this. Either she's adorable, relatable, hilarious, and the best portrayal of a female {{Otaku}} since [[Manga/LuckyStar Konata Izumi]], or she's HeroicComedicSociopath.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The fans went ''nuclear'' when Umaru decided [[spoiler:to stop being a Himouto for her new friends' sake]]. Thankfully the author noticed and wrote it so that [[spoiler:[[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments she decided not to give that aspect of her personality up when her friends told her that no matter what happened, they'd still be her friends]]]]. [[EpilepticTrees If that's what he hadn't already planned all along...]]

** Umaru herself is this. Either she's adorable, relatable, hilarious, and the best portrayal of a female {{Otaku}} since [[Manga/LuckyStar Konata Izumi]], or she's an annoying spoiled brat who always gets what she wants, while being too perfect with little effort.

* EarWorm: The [[https://youtu.be/b6-2P8RgT0A opening]] for the anime, especially the first few seconds! Aimi Tanaka, Umaru's voice actress, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS5FQpFdLlw is seen here]] doing a [[GenkiGirl VERY enthusiastic]] "full version" of the opening theme in front of adoring fans!

* AuthorAppeal: Unconfirmed, but while the series doesn't go as far as BrotherSisterIncest (especially like [[LightNovel/{{Oreimo}} a similar series]]), there seems to be an abundance of LittleSisterHeroine-like characters since nearly every character either has or is one.

* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound: "Umaruuun"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The sound effect whenever Umaru reverts from chibi form back to her normal form[[/labelnote]]

[[EpilepticTrees If that's what he hadn't already planned all along...]]

* CounterpartComparison: Umaru is basically the successor to [[Manga/LuckyStar Konata Izumi]], being TheNewTens version of the BrilliantButLazy {{otaku}} GamerChick.

* MemeticMutation: The country owes me a big brother.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A Chinese meme poking fun on their one-child policy. It comes from Chinese viewers' envy for Taihei's provision towards Umaru--and considering they ''don't'' have any siblings at all... Before you ask, this meme is not BannedInChina, as demographic pressures already caused very public debate over population policies in China in TheNewTens.[[/labelnote]] %%Source: http://zh.moegirl.org/%E5%9B%BD%E5%AE%B6%E6%AC%A0%E6%88%91%E4%B8%80%E4%B8%AAOO
