| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm, this feels like a pretty calm show with tea gimmicks and a cast of male characters. Rokuhoudou seems like a normal place tbh and doesn't feel too special. Still, I do feel the place has a degree of realism to the way it looks. The animation quality looks so-so imo, nothing really spectacular. I kinda like how they went slightly creative with tea though like the face-like figure in the reflection. The comedy is also fine so far. I think this anime is just going to be a very relaxing show for the season. |
 |
| This was a pretty relaxing and chill first episode. Those guys has a very nice cafe, it looks so retro. They have some good chemistry. The girl got to come up with an idea because of the atmosphere of the cafe. |
 |
| I'm fkin drowning in comfy. That was fantastic! |
| well a soothing show.... the calmness is felt while watching it it seems |
 |
| This is a nice relaxing show. I felt mentally refreshed after watching it. |
 |
| At first I thought it was another 4 min show, so I'm pleasantly surprised. This is perfect after a busy day <3 |
 |
| One part reverse-GochiUsa, one part Isekai Shokudou, two parts really relaxing and nice anime =w=. I can already tell I'm going to enjoy this. I adore soothing anime like what we're getting here, I love the calming atmosphere... and we have a character voiced by Ono Daisuke. That man's voice is a fking international treasure, lol. =w= |
| What a pleasant surprise. A chill iyashikei restaurant slice of life. There aren't many of these in this season. The visuals were pretty ok too; its clearly on a low budget but there's not much animation anyways. The food looks tasty too. |
 |
| This is definitly not what I would consider a "bishounen anime" and from what I can tell after one episode it's probably not going to be a reverse harem either. This might shape up to be a decent Iyashikei recommendation for people who don't need a cast of cute girls to enjoy a comfy athmosphere. |
| No romance, no drama. Just a chill story with four (good-looking) guys, their cat and a traditional japanese tea shop, 10/10. It's not a harem though, I see that people are misunderstandng. |
 |
| Wait, when did this episode give reverse harem vibes? It is an iyashikei slice of life right from the beginning. Very obvious at that, in fact I'd say a little too obvious at that. It was a good premiere, but it seemed so focused on appearing calming and soothing that it backfired. You don't need the characters talking in a soft and mellow voice 100% of the time to make the viewer understand that the purpose of the show is to relax and sooth. That nitpick aside, it has great elements, the soundtrack seems good, the art is clean and the animation fluid enough, the characters seem fine and the concept is so intrinsically iyashikei that it almost writes itself... it just needs to combine these elements better (like, for instance, a better use of the soundtrack! It felt oddly placed at times) and as soon as it does it will be an absolute delight to watch every week. Definitely into but I hope it solidifes its potential. |
| wtf why was this so relaxing! It’s I nice show! I enjoyed watching it Gure and the sweets dude are my favorites so far :) |

| Episode 1 are great, i really love the mood and vibe. It's really enjoyable and relaxing to watch after work, idk why i always seeking this kind of anime. ED are great, can't wait for the next ep! |
 |
| Looks episodic to me kind of like Isekai Shokoudo. ED songs visuals and music is so good to watch. |
 |
| I could feel my blood pressure drop in the first few minutes of this. I love cafes; the coffee, the tea, the chatter, the food. The cute guys don't hurt either. |
 |
| Wow, i am surprised with the popular VAs that are in this series! I wish Kamiya Hiroshi is also here. |
| The most relaxed peaceful ambience show of Spring Season! and good looking men to boot! lolz! All their servings are engrossed with such elegance! 5/5. |
 |
| Nice and calmly. As long as they keep the main clients of the episode always girls I think this will be pretty good! |
shiro_kai said: Nice and calmly. As long as they keep the main clients of the episode always girls I think this will be pretty good! Why should they have female clients only? It wouldn't hurt to see male clients and even kids (there even was a middle/high school girl at some point but she was too shy to enter). A tea shop isn't restricted to women after all. |

| Very relaxing show... I like the food and sweets in the show... Enjoying the vibe |

Of course not, anyone can enter it. I dint say they should allow female clients in the tea shop only, i said they should focus the interactions in the episode with girls because i liked how the casually interaction and pseudo-flerts developed. Of course I think it can work with kids too, would be cute. |
| You lucky boys and girls who have found your way to this cafe, There's a supreme menu and top-notch service, all just for you. Please, by all means, come and visit. I dont know much about anime, but from the little I noticed, slice of life iyashikei featuring grown men as main characters are very rare. Its the first thing that hooked me. Another one is the fact I like tea and coffee...a lot. There is some wonky animation where the eyes are not looking where they should sometimes but other than that its great. Loving the color-palette. Also, scores dont matter guys, Its just silly popularity contest that generates flame wars and therefore more traffic for the websites. |
| Wasn't sure about trying this one out, but it sure was a pleasant surprise! So glad I didn't dismiss this series, seems like it'll be the iyashikei of the season for me ^^ I'm liking all 4 MCs, and the first episode was overall a very nice watch. It was fun seeing the lady be distracted by the enticing food and then realized that she should spend time relaxing as well. Although she missed the cherry blossoms outside, she was the first to notice the sakura petal chopstick holder! That ED ❤️ |
| If it continues like this, this series will undoubtedly win the "Hidden Gem of the Season" award. The execution was absolutely stellar. The overuse of static backgrounds actually worked extraordinarily well, and each shot was beautiful. The voice acting of the four men was spot on. Ono Daisuke and Junichi Suwabe have the perfect voices for this sort of thing. Watching this really struck a chord with me. Everybody needs that one place where they can forget about the world around them and just live to enjoy the moment; a place where you can be comfortable and have some great food. Despite having something about 3/4 of the way there I still stopped and thought about what that place would be for me. That (self-reflection) is something that is extremely hard for any medium to do for me, and this episode was an exemplary example of why I love anime as a medium. I have no doubt these feelings will lessen as I see more episodes, but until then I will enjoy myself at Rokuhoudou. |
| For some reason I thought it would be specifically about tea but oh well, it's nice as it is too. I hope it'll have this comfy and relaxing atmosphere throughout all series. |
  |
| A little too relaxing. Took me a few days to complete the first episode — kept falling asleep while watching it. Always happy to see a cat in a show that isn't going to be killed as a plot device (like some other shows these past few seasons). I hope they will develop the MC guys more. Right now they are a bit nondescript. But a decent enough start. ^___^ |
| Yes. This is what i need. |
 |
| Shes right. The cafe sells by having hot guys, the good food and drinks are just a bonus. It was slow, but I'm fine with that, and the comedy won't bad... errr... what little of it there was anyway. Also can I ship the girl and glasses dude? CAN I SHIP THEM... Its too late, I already ship them. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| I was quite surprised how nice and relaxing this episode really is very good |
 |
| it was quite nice. however customers complaining about their lives to stuff = not okay. service workers are not paid to waste their energy listening to some boring ass bs. using your status as a client is a jerk move. go to a therapist if you want somebody to listen |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| I didn’t realise how stressed I was until I watched this episode & felt completely relaxed. I LOVE cafes so much & I just loved the whole atmosphere of this episode, so beautiful it brought me to tears. I started wishing there was a cafe like that around here.. Alright, it’s settled this is gonna be a fav this season! |
| The score for this series reflects perfectly my sentiment for it. On what god damn planet is this series seinen? it's a lie I say A LIE! and I ask who in the seinen demographic will say "hey guys you know what kind of anime I want to watch, definitely NOT a series like Akira, nope I want to watch a slice of life series aimed at me" whatever the hell that means. I could buy this as a slice of life/seinen series if the setting was different if instead of four guys running a cafe it's four guys running a bar or hell at least god damn hybrid of both. This is worst kind of series because it's a series that has masterfully disguised the fact that it's actually shoujo or even josei. |
 |
| So chill and relaxing! Very nice first episode and amazing seiyuu cast. |
| This anime was made for me. Soothing, relaxing, calming. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy. I really feel satisfied seeing these hot older guys aka ikemen wearing traditional clothes and serving Japanese food and sweets... not to mention the character designs + voice acting are absolutely perfect :') my eyes, ears and heart are blessed. Watching this made me feel (for lack of a better word) grateful. Like, feeling 'enough' and reminding me to be happy with simplicity. ♡♡ I may sound very biased but I love this so much! Totally for me! |
