Preliminary (8/26 eps)
I feel like people underrate this show just because they watch the first episode and drop it immediately by just focusing too much on its budget quality art. Honestly, the quality of the visuals feel like they were made on budget, but if you can look past it, you will see that its a very chill, easygoing, and satisfying anime.

The story is about Inaba Yuushi, who is starting high school and needs an apartment to stay in. He wounds up living in an apartment filled with supernatural creatures, and learns to get along with them. There doesnt seem like there is much to the story at first, but it starts to develop as the anime progresses, exploring the characters and really making the protagonist grow as a person.

Art is pretty average, its not like its terrible, but there is nothing outstanding about it. Its just sort of weak in comparison to alot of modern anime today (which is why i say its a budget quality anime), but hey, at least it isnt generic like animes that kinda slap in a moe style to their anime...

There isnt anything that is really noticeable in the sound, which is good in my book, because it means that there are no weird interrupting sounds that ruin the experience. What is great though is the Opening, which literally gives you a good sense of what type of style the anime presents itself. Its just real chill and wholesome music, that puts you in a relaxing mood.

The most notable thing about this show are the characters. They are all really welcoming characters, with a pure kindness at heart. The inhabitants of the apartment treat the main character like he is family, and that simple bond really brings the anime together. Also the main character is an important component to all of this, not like main characters in other animes that feel almost forgotten. Yuushi is our connection into the world, as his reactions to his experiences are ideally what the viewer would imagine if they were put into the situations. Yuushi has realistic concerns, but also an understanding personality to bring open-minded humane thinking into the show.

I am currently on episode 8, and I feel as the anime is continuing in a positive direction. At first I wasnt sure if I liked the anime or not, but soon it definitely grew on me, and I am fully enjoying each episode, waiting on it each week. It really makes me want to read the manga, just so I can have my fill of it.

Overall, I may be giving this anime too much credit, but I simply cant help but be a little biased in my review. I definitely think it deserves a higher rating than a lot of other animes on MAL, because 6.7 is too low for the content this anime provides. If I were to give an unbiased score, 7.5/10, but personally I think this anime deserves at least an 8/10.
