Aru Asa Dummy Head Mic ni Natteita Ore-kun no Jinsei

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn asserted that it is an artist's responsibility to create authentic art in an effort to combat the decay of our increasingly inauthentic world. This slice of life/moe/yuri/sports/isekai is the greatest anime that I have ever seen and it is truly an example of authentic art created by authentic artists. The creators of Dummy Head Mic took the charge of an intellectual leader and fulfilled their obligations to mankind. From the bottom of my heart and the depths of my soul, thank you.

Forget whatever YOU THINK your favorite anime is, you're wrong and you've always been wrong. THIS is the greatest anime of all ... time. THIS is the anime that will make it into the library of congress for time and all eternity. THIS is masterwork. True authentic art.

And if you're not yet convinced.. I have one more thing to say to you:

I stumbled upon this anime by accident, attracted by a funny figure looking like Moyai statue on its poster. Later I saw that the main character of this show is voiced by Tomokazu Sugita, whom I like a lot. That was another positive point that eventually made me try out this series. The fact that it was not a typical isekai anime was also a positive thing to me, since I'm not really fond of isekai animes.

Upon finishing it, I didn't know what to think, to be honest. It is a short series, so don't expect complex characters. Rather than that, I'd suggest treating this ... anime as 12 short and lighthearted episodes presenting various funny situations with Ore-kun and other characters starring in this anime.

If you want to see an anime heavily centered around ASMR, then I'm afraid you won't find it in most of its episodes. While it is an important element, I felt like ASMR (which I'm not a fan of myself, by the way) was substantial rather than dominative aspect of this show. Aru Asa Dummy Head Mic ni Natteita Ore-kun no Jinsei is more like a set of short gag episodes loosely based on the topic of ASMR or isekai (technically this anime belongs to isekai genre, that's why I mention it here).

Even if I have mixed feelings about this show as a whole, I can't say I didn't smirk once or twice. However, I wouldn't watch it if it was longer series; but hey, it is short, so you might give it a try. Given how simplistic it is, I couldn't give it any higher score as well.

Yes, I know what you're thinking: Is ASMR short-form anime going to be more prevalent from here on out? My answer to you: NO. Please do not expect much.

Hot on the heels of the last ASMR anime produced that lead the pack i.e. 180-byou de Kimi no Mimi wo Shiawase ni Dekiru ka? a.k.a "Can I Make Your Ears Happy in 180 Seconds?" that aired last Fall, the same staff team is back to bring us yet another ASMR anime...that I don't know what they were thinking, but for such a standard as this, this was ANYTHING BUT ASMR.

If anything, just like 180-byou, the Yuri ... aspect is the most obvious in the case, because somehow, they knew from the former show that having ASMR alone will not suffice, so they must think of something "spicy" than what is supposed to be the main crux of the entire show. As a result, you'll still get Tomokazu "Gintoki" Sugita as Ore-kun a.k.a Dummy Head and a fair few other things, but with the premise of the show hopelessly lost because the producers and scriptwriters just decided to go ham and put in the Yuri, because everyone loves Yuri...right?

Easily skippable, just watch any ASMR YouTuber instead. Not worth your time, even as short and clocked under 180 seconds.
Please, just no more ASMR anime.
