The perfect NEET fantasy anime, having a cute girl act as a doting mother feeding and cleaning up your disgusting living space.
But in this case the Male MC actually is in fact, not a NEET. And still is a fantasy.

Everything moved at glacial pace. From the dialogue to any kind of new interaction on behalf of the two main protags.

Not a fan of these "cool" guys that always have the right answer for every single jab any other will throw at them, it makes me feel like they are prepped actors just waiting for their cue. Yeah I know it's not the typical male protag that makes a huge ruckus for the most minimal interaction with a girl, but I just wished there were more levels in between rather than being one or the other.

Guess I'll give this one the 3 episode rule, and just hope the pacing gets better.
I get what you're saying on their interaction but personally I think that's what made this series made me needing an insulin while reading the LN. I think because it's just a single episode, the atmosphere isn't there yet but I can guarantee that in the next few episodes it'll be sweet-kind of good on it's own interaction level. And yeah the pacing, overall it's heavily in the directors hands.

Hahaha, went in blind and thought the show would be about a literal angel, lol.

In the end it turns out to be one of those "losers" show where the hottest chick in school does cooking and cleaning for mr.nobody after he shows the smallest interest towards her. The cliché loner eats poorly and his apartment is filled with trash.

How I met your mother? I just gave her an umbrella on a rainy day.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not actually hating on the show. I simply can't hide disappointment after seeing similar crap over and over again. It's just pathetic how these type of shows are mostly targeting lonely Japanese weebs who can only dream of such scenarios. But then again we have whole Isekai genre so who am I kidding...

Certainly not my cup of tea. May watch few more episodes to see if something remotely interesting happens, before dropping.
Actually when compared to your generic RomCom MC he at the very least talks normally. And has some friends that aren't a "loner" nor a "loser"
Being a high school kid, living on his own and somehow maintains a somewhat grade. So except the fact that he doesn't clean his room, which let's be real, that only can fit the term "loser" as in hygeine for living alone. Which isn't that much of a general definition, not that I think of at least. But there's no way the guy is a "loner" LMFAO

"It's just pathetic how these type of shows are mostly targeting lonely Japanese weebs"
I barely know any Japanese Anime's that actually TARGETED lonely Japanese WEEBS as you might say. It's very rare for any Japanese Anime to actually target foreign, let alone WEEBS lol

And if you really just think that the Female MC really interact with the Male MC because he showed a small interest towards her then you should probably drop this series. It'd be up to you tho:)

Waifu anime of the season?

I liked their relationship, also the atmosphere with the rain and the colors for the settings is really interesting.

I mean anime is primarily made for domestic consumption, but it's consumed world-wide. Lonely Japanese teenagers are the prime target, but so are weebs everywhere (even if inadvertently). The show is baiting/targeting people who wish they had a perfect "waifu" who's the cutest, smartest, athletic and does all chores for you and stuff. This is what I find pathetic - by no means am I saying this to offend people who enjoy the show. I just don't (maybe yet) understand what's the selling point of this show, or similar shows? Why would anyone, especially the cutest/smartest etc girl, give such special attention to the likes of male MC? In this 1 episode SOLE thing I found interesting is the backstory of the female MC (why was she crying in the rain and what kind of family she has). The relationship between the two is something I found the least interesting; uninteresting relationship in a romance show? - that's why I don't really like the show as of now. We've seen just a single episode and yet I feel like I was forcefully spoon-fed this idea that female MC is the cutest, best waifu material in existence. I don't like such shameless try-hard approach. Let the viewers know her better before advertising her so hard!

Why am I wrong though? The two go to same school and aren't total strangers, but still don't know each other, right? She was alone in the rain, he showed some basic affection by offering umbrella and then she began clinging to him and giving him near-obsessive special treatment! (like helping him clean the apartment, make different food every day -_-, bruh...) 
The two are neighbors but the anime show that this was irrelevant and she didn't pay attention to him till the event in the rain. Haven't read the novel so I don't know if she knew him when they were younger perhaps but her interest in him (FOR NOW) seems unnatural/forced and that's why I claim "weeb/loner bait" - since these people couldn't care less about BS storytelling as long as there's a cute waifu you wish was taking care of you.

Of course, she'd live next door! (Kinda lost opportunity to walk home together under an umbrella, because it would be reasonable to do so, but I understand that it could have been taken the wrong way if suggested. And no cold plot afterwards.)

It doesn't seem like a cliché romance with a popular girl though. I'm digging their personalities. The guy is so down-to-earth, this is really nice how he was encouraged to take better care of himself. Expecting more domestic interactions with those two.

The animation was nice. I’m honestly surprised something like that actually didn’t bore me out.
The only thing is I kinda wish there was comedy. There were barely any comedy moments, despite the genre. But I’ll take it. Hope it’s just as good tomorrow (new episode I think)

Animation was rather lacking from other scenes or say, lack of frames but it was still enjoyable.

Another cute, budding romance story...
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Not the best or worst episode. Although, I don't have a strong opinion yet because I'm not sure what to expect. Having a next-door neighbor who makes food for you every day must be nice. I wonder if we'll get the OP during the next episode

I like this Amane and Mahiru are cute together !! Their first meeting was like fate, it had to happen !! 

He is Kind of cool, shy, antisocial (a little) and depressed and she's sociable, cute, outgoing, pretty  and smart !! They are perfect for each other !! 

I'm loving the start to this, the story is good and cute !! I'm happy !!

Disappointing ngl :\

I mean I knew what to expect based on the title, but there was nothing special about this type of series that has been done many times before. The art isn't bad, just plain and unoriginal. Well guess I'll have to be dropping this one :(

COnfused.

Man what is the water works.   Shiina reminds me of my late wife.   She loved cooking for others, for any excuse she could find.  Man I miss her.

This wasn't anything bad per say, it just... lacked personality. I feel like the setup for this pilot episode did what it meant to do to satisfy an audience simply looking for a comfy slow building fantasy romance.
However, I cannot imagine this getting a score greater than a 5 if it continues like this. I simply want something more out of it but I may be surprised, who knows? As of right know, it's just bland.
