One Room, Hiatari Futsuu, Tenshi-tsuki.

"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But when life gives you an angel , what would you make? You make a lovely and funny romance story out of it.

'Studio Apartment, Good Lighting, Angel Included' is by no means a new or unique take on a harem. It's not the most original, nor does it have the most unique set of heroines. But sometimes, you don't have to be different or unique; you just need to be good, and this show succeeds at being so.

Story-wise, this anime has a very basic plot. The MC meets the heroines, the heroines like the MC, they become friends, ... then the heroines meet other heroines, and they become friends too. Again, it's not the most original story, but the selling point of this anime is the characters and how they act and interact. Everyone is sweet and adorable, even the MC.

The animation is decent, the character design is aesthetically pleasing to the eyes, especially every time they get SHINY and blush; it's adorable to say the least.

This is also the type of anime where all heroines are likable, but deep down, you know who's the MAIN one.

And that main girl is also the main point of interest of this show. Sure, the others are good, but nothing can top an angel sent down to Earth with a personality that only a brooding psychopath could hate. She's nice, she can cook, she will wash your used clothes, she stitches your holey panties, she makes you a bento, she wishes you luck every time you leave your abode, she greets you every time you come home, and she even prepares dinner. Nothing about her can be hated. Besides, who can hate a beautiful and cute celestial being from heaven that genuinely wants to make you happy every day?

So, if you want a show that warms your heart and pleases your eyes while simultaneously filling you with vivid jealousy that makes you want to have a kickboxing match with your wall and cry yourself to sleep realizing how lonely you are, give this anime a try."

This anime is cute, yea. I mean it’s impossible for it not to be. There isn’t any way for an adorable white-haired girl in a white dress who speaks like a child and apologizes for everything not to be. But I cannot fathom HOW the Japanese constantly succeed at making such neat concepts as discovering an angel in your apartment… turn out SO DULL.
This is exactly like every live-in-maid anime you’ve ever seen before, if you’ve seen one. The last one I recall was Helpful Fox Senko-san… all the ingredients are exactly the same: magical female spirit shows up, starts cooking and doing laundry ... for MC-kun. Is naturally a great cook (wasn’t kidding about those ingredients!) and great at laundry and wants to make MC-kun feel better. He is exactly as bland as is required- grape flavored this time (purple hair and wears a matching tie)
At least in Senko-san the guy was a grown man who worked at a stressful job. Here, the kid looks to be about 15, so naturally he’s in high school (GROAN). And he acts like a terrified helpless baby around girls. The 2nd episode is about how Angel-chan bursts into the bathroom on him constantly, and he screams and panics and turns beat red and slams the door… In the third he walks in on a pretty co-worker changing and “Arghhh!! A GIRL! And she’s changing!” and he spends the next several minutes freaking the fuck OUT. Sighhhhhhhhhhhh

Look I’m not an expert on girls but… if you are one, do you find it attractive for a guy to panic and freak out at the sight of women? Would you throw yourself at him like the chicks do in this anime? (Don’t say yes)

The biggest letdown is the angel doesn’t even look or act like an angel apart from having white hair. She only has wings in a few scenes. She doesn’t have any religious wisdom or pray or tell the MC to worship God or anything- and I’m not asking for a religious anime here but if you have a creature strongly associated with certain religious beliefs it would be a lot more relatable and interesting if she acted like an angel from heaven- even if just for cute effect.
This leads me to probably the biggest issue, which is how many ideas you can come up with for “Angel shows up in apartment”. Some of the situations could be funny, embarrassing, shocking, there’s a whole treasure trove of things you could do with such a concept. And this anime does exactly what you don’t want and nobody needs: it plays it so safe that it’s just dull. A white-haired girl moves in with MC-kun and cooks his dinner for him. Then he meets other pretty girls who are magical (or not) and they like him.

It just doesn’t pay the bills, I’m sorry.
(but it would be funny if SHE did!)

This looks okay the visuals are nicely colored and the characters are decently animated but that’s not much of an accomplishment, in an era where everything is just done on a computer using character-templates. There is no individual style in this at all, no mistakes, no experiments, nothing unique.
Will I actually watch it every week I dunno… if the new episodes keep showing up for me on Sunday morning, probably. Sunday morning is quiet and I’m usually not doing anything in particular.
Sunday morning reminds me of church…
Church reminds me of, angels…? Well the angels in heaven, if there is one and they exist, must be far more interesting than this house-servant girl who cooks food for grape-flavored-protag-kun. That’s a shame really.

If you're in the market for an anime that feels like a mishmash of its predecessors and lacks originality, look no further than One Room, Hiatari Futsuu, or Tenshi-tsuki.

Picture this: a run-of-the-mill protagonist, bland and unremarkable in every sense, stumbles upon an angel taking a snooze on his balcony. And just like that, she becomes a permanent fixture in his life, joining a growing harem of girls who inexplicably fall head over heels for our oh-so-average Joe. It's like a recipe for mediocrity, with a dash of forced romance thrown in for good measure.

An anime needs logic and a path forward that makes it unique ... and fun. For example, if you are going to have an MC who has 100 girlfriends, then there has to be a reason other than he is nice. In that example he got blessed/cursed with falling in love with each girl. It is a slapstick comedy that really makes sense.

This one is just quite unnatural, and it's not quite fun for me :)

As for whether I'll continue watching, let's say I'm not holding my breath. And if you're short on time and looking for something worthwhile to watch, my advice would be to give this one a hard pass. There are far better uses of your precious minutes than wasting them on a show that feels like a recycled version of everything that's come before.
