One of the pillow boys will be voiced by Natsuki Hanae (Aldnoah.Zero, Tokyo Ghoul).

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.

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.

12 pillow boys, introducing one every week. This is likely a 12 episodes or maybe more!
I can't say no to boys sweet pillow talking to me, I just know this is meant for me ♥
I secretly enjoy listening to 添い寝CDs and I'd really like the boys age to range.

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

Pretty much, as the following definition defines what a "pillow boy" is.

So, get ready to see some dry humping. Lol.

Pillow boys, eh? A nice way to describe porn.

I'll just leave it at that cause any more would make me remember how many garbage shows are produced on a regular basis.

When they say "first person", is that from the girl's perspective?

Does that mean this series is about enjoying dreamy boys?

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.

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.

Well, this would be probably more entertaining to watch than what we'll get in the end.

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.

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.'"
