Characters
Characters
• Miyako Hoshino • Reina Ueda • A college student who is very shy around strangers and spends most of her time indoors. She becomes smitten by Hana and starts making her snacks in exchange for getting her to dress up in the cosplay outfits she makes. She pursues a career as a fashion designer. • Hinata Hoshino • Rika Nagae • Miyako's younger sister and Hana's classmate. She is particularly fond of her sister, who she nicknames "Mya-nee", and has a considerable sister complex. • Hana Shirosaki • Maria Sashide • An elementary school student who is classmates with Hinata. She is often disturbed by Miyako's behavior but puts up with it to eat her sweets. • Noa Himesaka • Akari Kitō • Hana and Hinata's classmate who moves next door to Miyako and Hinata. She constantly sees herself as cute and has quite a superiority/inferiority complex, often becoming downhearted when someone else (usually Hana) is said to be cuter, and has a crush on Hinata. • Koyori Tanemura • Hitomi Ōwada • A class representative in Hana's class. She aspires to be someone that everyone can rely on, but is often unreliable herself. • Kanon Konomori • Naomi Ōzora • Another class representative in Hana's class and Koyori's best friend. She is kind and often seen as very reliable, much to Koyori's chagrin. • Koko Matsumoto • Lynn • A girl who was in a club with Miyako during high school. While Miyako hardly remembers her, she has been obsessively fixated on her, acting like a stalker. • Chizuru Hoshino • Ami Koshimizu • Miyako and Hinata's mother, who often reprimands Miyako for her shut-in behavior. She is often shown with a cigarette with nicotine filter in her mouth. • Haruka Shirosaki • Ayumi Fujimura • Hana's mother. • Emily Himesaka • Aki Toyosaki • Noa's mother. The one who rubs the complex on her daughter. • Matsumoto Yuuna • Hina Kino • Koko's younger sister. She has a pet dog named Miyako.

Reception
The anime series' first episode garnered poor reviews from Anime News Network's staff during the Winter 2019 season previews. Paul Jensen commended the production for having strong animation and delivering on some decent humor but felt wary of the script's unsavory content being given those highlights. Theron Martin saw the technical aspects as "run-of-the-mill" by Doga Kobo's standards and felt some trepidation in the premise toeing the line between innocent and creepy in its presentation, concluding that there's mild entertainment to be found but will not be for everyone. Despite finding a few laughs, Rebecca Silverman was immediately disgusted over Miyako's infatuation with Hana and the uncomfortable vibe it gives off, concluding that it will only cater to "a very specific niche audience" beyond the typical all-girl slice-of-life fanbase. Nick Creamer criticized the first half for framing Miyako's attraction like a "shoujo romance" with a predatory-like gaze but gave credit to the second half for showing Hana's viewpoint of the situation and coupling it with fluid animation, expressive character designs and snappy comedic delivery, concluding that "WATATEN! is a reasonably executed premiere, but I'll be happier if Doga Kobo gets through this "profoundly predatory romance" phase." Gadget Tsūshin listed the first episode's title in their 2019 anime buzzwords list.
