The Swerve: Every guy in this show is actually just a reinterpretation of a fast food mascot.

Red haired train guy was actually the Wendy's girl. The business guy in the limo was actually Jack in the Box.

Librarian guy has the goofiest tie.

I binge-watched this whole thing over the weekend (by which I mean, over the course of like half an hour) and I think my top three are salaryman, dialect boy, and librarian. Chuuni boy is a close fourth.
I couldn't stand college classmate because of the way he talks, but I have to admit he came off as a little more thoughtful than he sounded by the end. Librarian seems like he likes kids and he completely earnestly recommended a book about kittens, so he gets a lot of points with me (on top of the whole glasses thing). I'm just hoping the giraffe print tie was a bad attempt at matching his elephant name tag.

I was prepared to like Librarian guy, but he changed his mind about sleeping disturbing the other users of the library in the space of a two minute conversation, and I question how a book about kittens fits into someone who wants to live an exciting life. I just don't think the guy is any good at his job.

Are you saying you don't think kittens are exciting? :colbert:

Librarian boy is very good to relax before a short nap. My only real complaint is that my cat woke me up before i could nap for as long as I wanted to, but perhaps that is fitting, given that he recommended me a book on kittens.

Nothing about in this show makes any loving sense unless you're about to fall sleep and then it makes perfect sense.

Considering "23 Ways To Live an Exciting Life" is basically a listicle, it kind of makes sense that the librarian guy would offer you another book that is also basically a BuzzFeed article.

Watched this week's ep, my thoughts: They are totes creeps.

Needless to say, I didn't feel relaxed at all, but this ep would make a decent light horror story with the right tweaks.

Caught up with the librarian and flower arranger twins last night. That last episode was dirty lol.

2>9>5>8>4>6>10>3>1>7

Senpai is still my favorite but the librarian was cute (that tie was so bad though). Both college boys were nice, then all the rest after that are kinda eh. Looking forward to the old guy in the last ep, he may finally take the top spot away from creepy coworker.

This garbage has already spawned a series (that I don't think have started coming out just yet) of binaural situation CDs and a mobile game that's due out sometime in the winter.
I don't know if the mobile game will get translated or not, but I'm looking forward to playing it.

Honestly binaural situation cds is the most obvious place for this to go. Put in ear buds and relax to sleep with the calming voice of anime boys.

Just, not the flower arrangement boys. My sleep quality after them = n/a. How could anyone fall asleep to that? I don't want them anywhere near me. Zero stars, they're the worst

I think the idea was to get you ready for a quick, relaxing, pre-bed time jerk off, and that puts you to sleep

Binaural CDs is what this should have been to begin with. As anime it's terribly executed. It's like someone literally put some CD audio to badly storyboarded animu. As dummy-head-mic stuff it's... pretty much normal?

Honestly, I think making it an anime first was a very smart move, even if it's mostly only interesting to laugh at a little.
If it was just a series of CDs, it probably wouldn't have been on my radar at all (as someone who does buy the occasional binaural CD), but because of the anime, it's made more of an impact on me. I might consider some of the CDs (salaryman sempai and librarian are on the same one, apparently, so that'd be on the top of my list) and I'll definitely be checking out the game.
Plus it's fun to watch each episode and poke fun at it with everyone!

Okay, so the last one is just the first one over again. It's over!

You know what this means: time to run an inappropriately detailed ranking for this show. There's 10 boys total, rank them from your favorite to least, and I'll give the one at the top 10 points, the next 9, etc. You don't have to pick all of them, I'll just leave off the ones you don't rank. No making two boys equal, you have to choose!

Please get me your votes by Friday at 12:00 PM CST

Your options:

1/12: Merry - The Kind Soul Who Watches Over You As You Sleep
2: Tanaka Sousuke - Senpai Danshi - Your senpai at work that embraces you with the composure of an mature man
3: Hanamine Kanade - Music Danshi - A high school student that gives his all to music and the violin
4: Kijinami Eiji - Dialect Danshi - The transfer student who hates losing, but is more pure-hearted than others.
5: Emori T Ryuushi - Astronomy Danshi - A college student who loves to look at the stars
6: Maki Yuu - Delusions of Grandeur Danshi - A freshman that doesn't want to be accused of having delusions of grandeur
7: There was no episode seven.
8: Sasayama Nao - Happy IRL Danshi - Hip College Student Who Loves Cell Phones And Mixers
9: Mochizuki Shirusu - Librarian Danshi - The librarian that treasures books and book lovers like yourself.
10: Chigiri Yonaga/Yayoi - Flower Arrangement Danshi - Hobbyist Twins Who Are Full Of Wisdom
11: Iida Yuuichirou - Food Stall Danshi - An Old Guy Who Loves Oden And Freedom
