I'm not sure if I can make a tier list! I can't choose between: legit great (2), so awful it's kind of mesmerizing (1), trying to be funny and succeeding (6), trying to be funny and failing (3), competently playing to type (5), and incompetently playing to type (4). Every week I don't know what I'm going to get and I don't know which I want more. Each is special in their own way and I don't want my pillow boys 2 fight.

I do know that I would rank 4 higher than all of yall because short, stupid, and delinquent with a heart of gold are my three favorite things and it was cute that you were falling asleep on the bus.

Sorry, 4 was my number two, but he's been bumped down to third by chuuni boy. That was such a charming episode that I didn't expect to enjoy that much.

I've been behind on the last couple of episodes, so I can't fully rank them yet. HOWEVER, #4 is definitely my favorite so far. Both his voice and personality are very relaxing, and I would definitely feel comfortable sleeping on a bus if he were next to me! Wouldn't have to worry about missing the stop. also he doesn't want to copy your homework because he doesn't want you to get in trouble, that's the cutest thing ever  Nice, caring delinquent is better than boss-co-worker imo, although only by a little bit.

He was real good, an good choice. But yea I understand the people who put him just above 1 at the bottom of the list. He could have been a clear winner if the VA was better or he talked about anything with a spark in it, but he really only skates by on design and type strength. He kind of deserves second to last place, which when you think about it is a bigger dishonor than last place because at least people remember the worst.

We were already willing to hang out with him no matter what, so dealing with a teacher wouldn't be that much more of a problem. If only he had more faith...! I'd argue 3 was worse than 4 though. The lack of music was a travesty, and the panic at the end was definitely not soothing or relaxing at all.

My pillow boys ranking: It's actually kinda hard to clearly rank the ones I really liked (2, 4, 6). 6 was really funny, 4 is great because I like that archetype a lot  , and 2 was just good in general. I guess for me it'd be 4 > 2 = 6 > 5 > 1 > 3. Astronomy guy was cute but average, and I didn't like neither 1 nor 3. 3 was instantly the worst because of the lack of music, though.

Adelheid posted:You're not wrong in saying astronomy boy is very high-tier, although I am not quite willing to say he's top. He might be. Get back to me in a few days when I've fallen asleep to him and coworker boy a few more times each and I'll be able to give a comparative review. Two nights ago, I feel asleep with astronomy boy. In contrast with how utterly poorly i slept with chuuni boy, astronomy boy allowed me a comfortable sleep for a pleasant 7 and a half hours. I wasn't sure how coworker boy was going to beat that, but when I fell asleep to him last night, I had some of the most refreshing sleep I've had in ages. It also lasted for 7 and a half hours, but also included waking up feeling great and vaguely recalling having really good dreams. So, I have to say that coworker boy is better than astronomy boy. 2 > 5. They're both better than all the others, though, especially 6 which was the worst thus far.

Products like this show are kind of depressing in a way. Like, the fact that they exist in the first place is sort of depressing because it means there are a bunch of really lonely people out there who are so desperate for human companionship that they'll resort to things like this.

Hey everybody handles loneliness differently, and it's not anyone's place to judge how they do. Social interaction is, it turns out, very hard for a lot of people, and even more so when you compound that with things like work schedules. Not saying that's the case for anyone in this thread, but I ain't gonna look down on someone whose only escape from a lonely life is something like this show. chumbler fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Aug 23, 2015 |

Really I see everyone in this thread enjoying the show and discussing the episodes and no one here strikes me as particularly lonely. It's a fun piece of entertainment that's really kind of different.

anime catering to women and non-straight men feels rare enough that this show is nice, regardless of intended purpose/cynical marketing.

I will now catch up on the Pillow Boys I have neglected to watch, will come back with thoughts. edit; Astronomy Boy is a dork, but earnest and sincere, points in my book. I liked Chuuni Boy a lot more than I thought, would fall asleep too. That and he has fab nails. 4>2>6>5>3>1 are my rankings so far.

I choose to pretend there was nothing weird about that episode, despite the context. They just decided to be a completely different show for a week.

The idea of having a five year old watch me as I sleep is the most nightmarish thing I can imagine. At this time anyway.

to make up for how unrelaxing this episode was, I'm going to go hang out with delinquent/co-worker/astronomy boy some more. After thinking about it, astronomy boy's episode is really well done! I'm sorry for calling you average. Changing my ranking to 4 > 2 = 5 > 6.

That said straight up insulting you is way different from being indifferent. The guy is skipping his mixer for you! I mean, meta wise the whole thing is an insult to the women watching these but the guy himself is decent.
