I haven't felt this heart-warmed by characters since the watching the original Fruits Basket anime years back and reading the manga.
Though set in unfair circumstances we get to see the purity between a human and fairy prevail against the harsh world they are fighting away from. I love the dynamic between all the characters and the work ethic and the care the main character has for those around her. The story strives to be one of kindness against the background of harsh events. It is one of the few anime I wish to watch many times over, as was Fruits Basket and FMAB. The ... music throughout is beautifully done and the delicate craft the main character undertakes is also a pure and noble pursuit leaving me really rooting for Anne Halford and the beauty she leaves behind. And because I don't come across anime of this sensibility of sensitivity very often I give this a 10 also due to the feeling it leaves me with. I really hope the characters face all the adversities they have been tasked with. I don't think I can bear waiting for the next instalment to air.

One Room becomes very funny if it follows just watching, 'Welcome to the N.H.K'.

There is one scene where Tatsuhiro Satou and Kaoru Yamazaki converse about what galge games are really about and the different relationships that exist in such games such as the-girl-next-door type, the childhood-friend type, the little-sister type, etc... and how its design appeals to a fantasy of the audience, gaining intimacy that is often lost on the typical NEET or hikikomori. One Room is very relevant to that world.

I believe for those genuinely craving female interaction without fuss, depth, human complexity; when one does not think too highly of the ... self- having sweet-intending, unintimidating and somewhat ditzy girls in your proximity (that remove the social concept of 'the male does the chasing' especially if one is of low confidence) can be a short series of great comfort to such men. (Or women if there are any out there into this kind of thing.)

Personally, as a girl who wishes for a story to sway every fibre of her being in emotion and thought, this anime is certainly not for me. However, as a practice to Japanese dialogue learning, the simplicity for the language is easy to follow and even if the story causes discomfort or distaste to the viewer, it helps to practice following along to the language.
