| I'm guessing it'll be a short. So uh, what's a pillow boy anyway? |
 |
| You had me at boys. |
| can't wait |
 |
| The other 11 character designs will probably revealed eventually. |
|
| target audience are girls for this |
| Is this an anime to promote life-sized pillow boys? |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| So this is that Girlfriend anime, but for girls? |
| wtf is a pillow boy i might watch it though, we need more cute boys in animu :> |
 |
| Pillow boys, sounds cute actually lol. Boys + Hanae Natuski = instant PTW. Hopefully for my other favorite VAs to be casted. The character design looks alright though, maybe it'll look better when we get a key visual. |
j0x said: target audience are girls for this arguable since its a first person perspective show. So it might be like boys be But for now, I'd say it's probably for girls since the male character designs don't suck |
| Time to advertise... sleeping? Will wait for a key visual to make a final decision. Or more of a description. Assuming 5-10 minute episodes, unless it decides to go for serious elements, in which case the usual 20 minute. |
| A first person perspective of a pillow boy, great. |
 |
| Why That's.. A concept, might as well check the first episode out when it airs. |
 |
| Does pillows dream of pillow sheeps? |

on 
| 12 Pillow boys.... |
 |
| not really into episodic stuff |
| First person, eh? That seems interesting in itself. |
| Tutturu ~ |
| We'll call them the ploughboys for short. |
| they are taking this whole hugpillow thing to a whole new level. Mod Edit: Removed baiting. |

| What in the actual fuck? Are we running that dangerously low on story ideas? Or perhaps it's to sell more dakimakura? edit: *heavy breathing* |

| "Hey, assbutt!"—Castiel, Supernatural "Do you ever have a problem where you just don't know how to reply to an argument-- not because you don't know the answer, but you just don't where to begin? Like, the foundation of knowledge you'd need to impart to this person before you could even begin to drag them out of their sinkhole of ignorance would cost thousands of dollars, if it were coming from a University?" -MAL in a nutshell. |

It's porn Pretty much, as the following definition defines what a "pillow boy" is. Urban said: Pillow Boy: A boy who dry humps and makes out with his pillow, pretending it is a girl. Source: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Pillow+Boy So, get ready to see some dry humping. Lol. |
 |
| You had me at pillow. |
 |
entirely in the first-person perspective HOLY ASS DAT GON B HARD For science, it must be watched. |
| don't know if I want to watch....definitely a "unique" premise... |
 |
| When they say "first person", is that from the girl's perspective? Does that mean this series is about enjoying dreamy boys? |
| Nice another new studio. |
 |
| Definitely gonna watch cause cute boys. And Hannachhiiii (~‾⌣‾)~ |
| You had me at "pillow" :) |
 |
| what kind of Synopsis is that. I pass |
 |
| The title and character reminded me of some recent drama/situ CDs... Maybe that's not entirely off and I can anticipate a nice selection of seiyuu. I'm quite interested what this one will be like! "Healing" as a theme for an anime done by male characters and most definitely for girls/women is unusual, no, refreshing, I suppose. I'm glad it's an original anime, but I doubt it'll have the usual duration of a TV anime... Then again, when meganebu! was announced, I also didn't expect that they could fill a season's worth of proper episodes like that. |
| That summary confuses me so much. But I'll watch. Because cute animu boys |
 |
| Seems interesting. Probably targeted at the female audience but I guess it is going to be good. |
| Earth Star Entertainment has ran out of ideas, just give us a 3rd season of Yama no Susume ffs (or maybe an anime with a similar concept for women instead). Also, this is going to be a short as they tend to do short episode durations. |

| I can't wait!!! first person perspective? I smell otome game style <.< >.> |
 |
| I'd prolly give it a shot when it comes out. |
j0x said: target audience are girls for this Well if it is, It's not working. Not a fan of male fanservice. I may give it a chance if it's a 20 minutes thing. |
 |
| will check episode 1 i guess sound weird :X |
 |
| First person perspective? Hmm.... so what, we become the protagonist/see the world thru his eyes? Lol that synopsis though: "This 'new and novel animation entirely in the first-person perspective" is designed to "heal tired hearts.'" |
kagakiri said: This sounds really generic at first glance, but I'll give it time. Are you implying we've already had an anime like this before? |
| no interest |
| Inaho and Kaneki = Pillows. |

| What's a pillow boy? And is it a short? o-o Assez Finaud Fabric: Must be people who are put on pillows? |
