Hmm...so this is like Room Mate but male version.

There's some fan service (glasses guy) but other main guys are also introduced. Unlike the previous series, this one has a lot more dialogues between the characters.

Is it okay to laugh? I think it's okay to laugh. Why? Because it's like Makura no Danshi, with less characters and worse animation. And Makura no Danshi is funny to me. Doesn't mean I don't like it though lmao

Well, the glasses guy is the most interesting so far...

Or so I thought unti I watched the ED. And the preview for the next episode. Was that a preview, anyway? HOLY MOTHER OF OTOME

This is basically the male version of One Room. Also, that ending was really weird.

Isn't it ironic that the fujoshi version ended up more sexualized than the otaku one?

Ladies and gents, I think we were taken at the end. Cool. On the other side, they missed the "towel falling off by accident" trope. Not so cool.

I don't know how to react to this. IMO overall quality is average but...I don't know what to do with this whole concept in general. Yeah, I guess I'll give a few more episodes a chance to change my mind. I like hot 2D guys, not sure how to react to hot 2D guys talking to me?

Well I'm weirded out. I find it awkward when they talk to you as viewer. Makura no danshi vibes definitely...

Also, no clue as to why they get half naked in the ending, haha.
Also that very last scene, no words.

Guess I'll beter prepare for more fanservice.

Didn't watched the other Room Mate alternative setting which is One Room so I'm not really sure what to expect from this anime as there's not much summary about it. Just came for the seiyuus (lol). So is this a new type(?) of anime whereby it goes like an otome game where only the guys character talk while the female MC just has to accept whatever is being done to her?? I hope this won't turn into those reverse harem type or otome type of story plot line. But seeing how it is I guess it's impossible not to have those sort of story line. Oh well~

Meh..I never cared for series like this that put you as the one being confronted by the cast. Having the characters talk to the screen with no one really there is just awkward as hell. Reminds me of the Kuroshitsuji special that did the same thing.

Now, I do not know anything about the Room Mate series. But, I say this show has potential to be decent. It's clearly just a show aimed at teenage horny girls like myself.

Now, just because I am a teenage girl doesn't mean I can't appreciate story. I don't want this show to become the next Free!! where all I go to it for is the characters and the fanservice, and I yell at it, "I wish you were good, and not just a guilty pleasure!"

So, I'll see where this goes. My personal favorite so far is the blond guy, 'cause blonds usually end up being my favorite characters.

I didn't know what OneRoom was, so I was expecting a bromancey anime with episodes 5 minutes or less.
Imagine my surprise to find out it's like Makura no Danshi and otomege-style.
If I had known, I would have watched it privately on my phone. It was so embarrassing.
I was laughing from shock and embarrassment and then their shirts vanished and I lost it. Well, I thought I couldn't lose it anymore until that sweaty panting scene at the end. Oh god, I couldn't stop laughing. Jeezus. Wtf did I just watch?

Apparently drawing nipples is challenging to censorship laws? I dunno the exact rules. I just know in Yuri on Ice, they said they really pushed the censorship boundary by drawing nipples and it was risky.

I'm gonna be a little late to the party on these eps since i refuse to pay for crunchy roll, for a myriad of reasons.

I've watched both Makura no Danshi and One Room before this so here're my thoughts judging from the first episode:

Quite disappointed by the art, in fact, VERY disappointed by the art.
The front image is nothing like the art in the episode. Very flatly animated and almost blank slate looking characters, so here's hoping their personalities shine through.

I have a feeling that this may be quite different from Makura no Danshi and One Room in that, both of those were 'you' the viewer interacting with one character at a time. I have a feeling that in Room Mate we may see more of the 3 boys interacting with one another.
I find this and One Room far less cringy than Makura no Danshi. Some of the pauses in that were just far too long, and you learned next to nothing about the characters. In fact, Makura no Danshi seemed to contain more caricatures than actual characters.

As for the episode, the main characters all seem to be a few shades of crazy, which i'm ok with. The overall tone seemed more like a comedy than anything else, and that ending leads me to believe that we're going to be getting a lot of double entendres.

Can't wait for the next one :D

Wow... I don't know what to make of this episode. I stumbled upon the series by accident; it was lasted on the side when I watched another anime, and I got curious.

It seemed a little useless for Takumi to climb over the gate. And I guess he was being cool when he carried his suitcase on his shoulder...? :P
I was surprised by Natsuki Hanae's voice acting!! He really did a great job with that deep voice! And when he spoke with Aoi's 'normal' voice, he truly sounded like Kaneki! ><
I don't know what to make of Shinya walking in almost naked with a towel...

I'm a little curious to see how it would be like to be these three boys' roommate. So far, I'm most intrigued by Aoi and his passion for acting.

I was confused when the three boys went shirtless in the ending credits/theme song! :P Aoi's bottom sleeves were still there... And that ending after the song confused me even more. ._______. Was Takumi working out?? It would be too fast to do anything Rated R with the viewer/building manager...
