Story 1/10
Don't let the summaries fool you, there is absolutely no story. Just random characters fumbling around with and/or stumbling upon a head which, as all characters apparently know, supposedly has binaural recording devices inside where the ears are supposed to be. They do things to it like talking into it's ears, smear stuff on it, place it on their laps, all that while, in typical ASMR video recording fashion, they have headphones on to hear the playback and of course react to it's relaxing, or at least it should be, effect.
Art 2/10
Run of the mill, uninteresting and generic anime waifu art where an adult mother looks like the high schoolers. Animation is really nothing to write home about. Only reason I'm giving it a pity point is cause it's in focus I guess?
Sound 1/10
Ah the sound, the bread and butter of ASMR. Even if the video isn't good, or whatever the person is saying doesn't interest you, sometimes you can still come back and listen to it and appreciate it for it's relaxing effect. Too bad this anime is a complete incompetent disgrace when it comes to what makes ASMR pleasant.
You'd think the whole schtick of the ASMR theme would be to use and abuse the binaural properties of the mic, but you'd be wrong. Not only is the sound not binaural, feels like just basically two different flat tracks on each side, but the times they decide to do this are picked depending on whatever they feel like. You hear whatever triggers they decide for the episode close to your ears, but as soon as they want to focus on something else, like dialogue, they'll ditch the ASMR without a moment's notice.
For example, you have two characters doing triggers all up in your ears, but when they stop to have a conversation, even if they're not even a meter away from the mic and still on the dummy's each ear's sides, they'll just be recorded like normal. A complete waste of a chance to give us that 360° audio effect with two people in the room.
You could argue that it's because the characters turned the mic off so they could listen to each other, even though just making them taking out the headsets would solve that, but I don't think that's a good enough excuse, we're there as the dummy head, listening to them talk in the same room, why wouldn't you record it in binaural? Oh wait, cause nothing has been binaural.
Not that it would do us any favours cause the voice acting is the good ol' overly high pitched anime waifu banshee trash that no one should ever want to hear, complete with cringe as all hell moans.
One last note on the disgrace that is the audio: not even triggers and whatever else they do in the ears are done right, all throughout the episodes I've watched, the left ear is completely overstimulated while you hear very little on the right. That doesn't make up for a relaxing experience, just an annoying one. But relaxing was never their intention, and I'll talk about it around the end.
Characters 1/10
Characters? Where? All I saw was waifu cardboard cut-outs. With speakers I guess.
To compliment the shallow cash grab "story" with the niche theme, the characters are just as barebones. You have the shy girl, the more serious girl, the mother girl, the big sister girl, the twins girls... Seriously they're nothing but cardboard, just there to moan and blush and ask "is this okay?" for the viewer type they're catering for: mindless pervs.
Enjoyment -1/10
And my last point is exactly why this isn't and could never be enjoyable to me. ASMR isn't sexual, but of course since this is yet another show that feels the necessity of pushing forward that anime related infamy that gives non-weeb viewers a good reason to frown whenever someone says they watch anime, ASMR here is treated as nothing but a fetish.
Overall 1/10
I've seen somewhere before a viewer begging others not to sexualize this anime because ASMR isn't sexual, but who's at fault here really? This show is sexualizing it. I didn't come in with my head in the gutter thinking I was gonna get aroused by this. Of course as soon as I saw there was an anime made around it I knew they wouldn't be able to help themselves, but it wasn't because it was gonna be ASMR, it was because it's an ASMR anime, and they always have to make niches a fetish for a quick cash grab by being the first anime doing it. This is why the "stereo" audio is only used in specific moments, the equivalent of when in art you can tell the artist's intended fetish by what's more detailed, and funnily enough that visual aspect applies to the show too. When you have the sensitive mic is when you also have the close up shots of the cream in their hands, their mouths opening as they moan, close ups of their legs rubbing against each other as they react to the audio. You don't sexually tense up and gasp when you're relaxed, you.. relax, but that's not how you see the girls react to it.
This is but an embarrassing attempt to fetishize something for a crowd whose only contact with ASMR was on an e-girl's twitch stream.
