Ooh this episode felt somewhat unique.

I think it's the first time that we got a male character with glasses and working at a library. Hmm...

Why did I come here ?
I should go back.
There is nothing to discuss :o
I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons,
if you were you wouldn't be on MAL.

Extended families or lovers on MAL are a farce.

Finally someone decent

His voice kind of reminded me of Daisuke Ono's.

This guy was so genuinely boring and his character design was terrible. I'm also frankly insulted that it was an episode about a library and, whilst there was an infinite selection of books they could've chosen for me, some uberly girlish "ways to live an exciting life" bullshit is all they can come up with. It honestly felt pretty sexist that they thought all girls would read shit like that and then happily accept a book on generic kittens instead of actually indulging in anything quality. Worst episode confirmed.

This is one anime that everyone watching this is probably more interesting (in some ways) than the anime itself.

A library time, yay. The dude's okay, I guess. He's got a nice giraffe tie.
And excuse you, I'm more of a dog person, why are you giving me the kittens book, and not a puppies one?

And thank you Makura no Danshi, I've found my phobia. So they actually don't put any background noise, music nor any other sounds, except for the time when the dude speaks. I didn't notice it until the 8th episode. It never bothered me before, but I almost cried at the beginning, when there was no sound at all.

But still, for episode 1/5

I'm so glad it's only 4 minutes long.
I like pancakes.

I actually kind of liked this guy. I would never fall in love with a guy like him but he seems serious about his job and is looking out for other people. Huge change from that college guy.

Same, I feel you girl, haha. Bikini Warrior has a faster pace, has nice character designs, and a little humor. I guess we're just not the target audience for this show or something...

I'm watching it raw and there are sounds in the background. From what I know CR's version is the one without them.

It's been mentioned before but Crunchyroll's version is the one without sound. The original still has it. Anyway, this was a nice, relaxing episode. I don't know why people found it boring.

I just wanted to point out that the target audience for this show are bishie lovers, the kind who like otome games and Drama CDs and the like. That's a female otaku. A fujoshi is a type of female otaku who likes homosexual relationships between men. But, that doesn't mean a fujoshi can't enjoy a reverse harem or an anime like this either.

That's all I wanted to say.

To be honest I know this but I was using a mental shortcut. More for myself than anybody else, but I understand your need to correct me (and how could you know in the first place), no prob.

The thing is, there already WERE some guys up my alley, but even those were so dull and not kyaa-inducing. This show just doesn't do anything to me. And I'm still thorn between thinking that the art style is detailed and interesting or is it creepy and not appealing. Bikini Warriors sure has more spark than Pillow Boys.

Woa, really? I didn't realize there were two versions.
I think I would prefer it with background noise so maybe I'll look for that version next week....

Omg, this anime is so my cup of tea. They just GIVE you a guy and you can listen to those really nice voices without the lame plots, the harems, and the screaming those anime guys do when they see titties or a D+ on this test, lol.

This guy was really cute, and kind of poetic, like one of those deep thinker guys. I love it. They're all my type lol.

I agree, I really don't get why the sound would be cut. Could they not license the background noise for some reason? It's so quiet that it's distracting that it's quiet...

He was kind of sweet. I think he would be someone nice to talk to about life and relieve stress.

However, I do agree his fashion choice was really awful, haha.

I kind of liked this guy. Clothes wise he showed individuality a no need to follow the herd mentality, check. Looks - check. A librarian, check. Bookish guys have hidden talents.
I found him quite appealing until the fateful book recommendation. I was thinking "Ohhh Mr Librarian. What book would you excite me with, perhaps Rumi's The Book of Love: Poems of Ecstasy and Longing. No a sodding kids book on kittens, and then that somewhat weird addition of the scene with a little girl reading suddenly all makes sense. *Lolicon Alert*
