ASMR has been around for quite sometime, but an anime version of it? Hell nah...that is until this short came along. But hold your horses, because this "tingling" feeling has some quirks to it that some will love, and some will hate. ASMR as defined on Wikipedia: Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR), sometimes auto sensory meridian response, is a tingling sensation that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. A pleasant form of paresthesia, it has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia and may overlap with frisson. ASMR signifies the subjective experience of "low-grade euphoria" characterized by "a combination ofpositive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin". It is most commonly triggered by specific auditory or visual stimuli, and less commonly by intentional attention control. No wonder that to get the best experience, this short ALWAYS tells you that "It's recommended to watch this show using headphones." But for all the excitement and enjoyment for experiencing what I believe is the very first dedicated ASMR anime (even for a short), it mostly just came up being literally short. The existentialism of experiencing ASMR is to literally get the "tingling" feeling from the ones whom are bringing the experience to us, and yet it couldn't even do the job properly which results in an unsatisfying attempt to salvage and excruciate other sensory details just to get the attention for all the wrong reasons. For context, think of the dummy head as us, the audience confined within a vapor chamber (or an eargasm chamber in this case), and the girls whom are directing this experience should give us that sensory feeling of skin hairs standing up and feeling all relaxing inside. But then again, if the production side of things ain't the best, then the eargasm feeling will not be so too. For some reason, they only choose to focus on one ear (which is the left ear) as the core of the whole ASMR feel, and while it worked fine the first few times, the focus slowly shifted away from an ASMR to something that is more of a fetish that's almost close to blurring the lines of being a straight-up Hentai of sorts with more girls and questionable weeb "men of culture" shots. I mean, ASMR is all about the eargasm experience, why does it have to have a female-centric sexual fetish sequence on top of what's already serviceable enough? You watch ASMR to get the relaxation, not to pull out your dick and fap to the cardboard cut-out girls while they deliver just that. Such a missed opportunity, but I kinda know why, because this work was supposed to be for the degenerates, and sold to the degenerates who can find more case use for this show being a dream-like fantasy of being served as fap material and less use for actual ASMR. To round this fap-fetish-ing-ly short off, why not better than to put it in the form of the Drakeposting meme: Can I Make Your Ears Happy in 180 Seconds? UGHH Rejected. Can I Make You Sexually Enticed in 180 Seconds? YEPP PePe Approved.
I like ASMR. And this is an ASMR. but is this a GOOD, ASMR? well. it's... the bare minimum Story: 1.5/10 there is none. the stories are things like this: oh, an ASMR mike, let's talk to it. oh an ASMR mike, let's talk to it like my baby. although there was one episode in the bar that was kind of interesting. If all the episodes were like that, It would have been much nicer.since it was the only episode with a male talking to you, they also couldn't do boob and panty shots all the episode, so it also had much more interesting directing. basically one of the episodes was decent, the rest were... as low as you can go without just not being an asmr anymore. Art: 1/10 the art and colors are boring and the show is barely animated. so no the art isn't good. sound: 3.5/10 I will be honest, the sound quality is below an average asmr you can find on youtube. but... it's not terrible. what is terrible is the ending song. but not the song itself, the song is basic and boring, but the problem is not that. the problem is with the song's tone. it's way too energetic for an ASMR ending. it's like oh that was relaxing.... "INSERT BOBASTIC MUSIC RIGHT AFTERWARDS" idk who's idea was to make the ed like that, but they should be fired asap. characters: 2/10 1 dimensional pieces of fanservice. their design is not that bad though. it's even half decent for some of them. enjoyment: 6.5/10 despite all that, I still enjoyed it for some reason. maybe it was the horny camera angels. maybe it was the actual asmr not being that bad, or maybe it was the fact that the episodes were so short that I didn't have enough time to get bored. idk, but what ever the reason, I did enjoy it. overall it's a low 2/10. since there aren't any other asmr anime out there, it's kind of your only pick for this kind of show. and it's pretty damn short so.... eh... I guess it's kind of worth it? it's hard to say.
This is a short animated series of a few minutes, which contains ASMR scenes, ie this is more based on this anime, the sound is excellent, but you have to wear some headphones for a full experience, I don't know why people didn't like it, this anime is only if you enjoy ASMR and at the same time you want to see an anime version. There is no big imprint on characters or story, it is strictly for ASMR, it is relaxing, you can experience more kinds of ASMR and at the same time more tuppets of personalities that make ASMR. You watch this anime for relaxation,not to see a good story.
I really wanted to like this. But I can't score it over a 4. I could debate giving it a 5 cus the girls are cute. But for an anime being about ASMR, I would at least want the ASMR to be more decent. It has its good triggers but I get pulled out instantly from the talking and then of course the ending theme. If it was more soft spoken I would've given this a 7 for sure. It really feels like it was made by someone who only had a basic understanding of ASMR and has never felt the sensation in their life.Also it did feel like I was watching some softcore porn because of some of the sounds mixed with the higher anime girl voices. If that's your thing that's cool, but again got me out of the ASMR feeling a lot. This was all in all just a missed opportunity as it could've been amazing. I'm a bug ASMR and anime fan so it's sad it didn't deliver.
I'm not into ASMR myself, so I don't have much experience in listening to ASMR videos, but I can tell that there was something off about this anime. It was said to be about ASMR, although almost every episode felt as if the autonomous sensory meridian response was only a fancy addition to something... well, something that didn't have much in common with the whole ASMR thing, but rather with seeing girls getting aroused while trying to practice their ASMR skills. Even putting this element aside and focusing only on ASMR sensation, this anime has completely failed in this aspect. Viewers are advised to watch thisanime while wearing headphones, but to be frank, the difference between using your speakers and headphones is minimal. Why? Because the sound quality is way below your average ASMR clip. What's more, while a dummy head microphone plays an important role in this show, you just can't hear it being used to its full extent. Why bother using binaural stereo microphone when you don't want, or don't know how to use it properly? While I don't recommend this show, I can commend an attempt - even if it was a failed one - to create a unique type of anime. It was short, so I could manage to complete it without dropping it out of boredom. Oh, and I learned something from this show. Life of a Moyai doll microphone is quite comfy.
This series belongs in the category of anime that shouldn't exist. I got almost nothing from the 12, 3 1/2 minutes episodes this has. ASMR is already a questionable piece of entertainment as it has been oversexualized and also gathered a huge following of degenerates. This anime highlights this and takes it to another level. Besides the seductive whispering and implications of incest in the "plot," only the bar episode felt like it had something going for it, where the man, Aizen's voice actor of all people, made his performance. He says, "you should close your ears to sounds you don't want to hear." I'ddo that, but I wouldn't have watched this sad excuse of a series if I did that. The selection of voice actors chosen for this is hilarious considering their previous roles that I've heard them in. Among the voice actors moaning, whispering, and speaking seductively against their mics, Shiori Mikami (Krista from Attack on Titan), Waki Azumi (Tsukimi from The Aquatope on White Sand), Mimori Suzuko (Sawa from Jouran: The Princess of Snow and Blood), Kanae Itou (Yui from Sword Art Online), Serizawa Yuu (Kikka from Build Divide: Code Black), Show Hayami (a veteran also known as Max from Super Dimension Fortress Macross) and Koga Aoi (Komi from Komi Can't communicate) are in this. Those are only their roles I recognize that I feel like pointing out, I'm sure many people were surprised when they looked at the voice cast. In most episodes, ASMR gear somehow appears in the girls' rooms. There's no explanation to it. They act as if it came out of nowhere and begin performing ASMR on the viewer in order to please them and to make them happy. The characters have no personality obviously, as it wasn't in the interest in the staff to build characters but to just have them do ASMR. They try to connect the characters through the episodes, but the pathetic attempt in trying to make a story felt almost nonexistent. Watching this, I felt uncomfortable and constantly checking for that 3 minute mark on the video where the ending comes in. At the end, the episodes awkwardly cut out into the ending theme as I sit wondering why I wasted my time doing this as that crash dummy head looking ASMR device spins around and laughs at me. The art is terrible and without soul. The animation is choppy and lacks effort. Of course, the characters are constantly off model and shapeshifting. The ASMR crowd of course loves this, though there are elements that say this failed as an ASMR on a technical level. I disliked it, but that's fine if they don't. I can't comprehend it. It sounded interesting for an ASMR anime to emerge, but I had no idea I was going to be in store for something as awkward feeling, oversexualized, and terrible as this.
"W: Wish" also known as "Double Wish" Was your typical Harem virtual Novel developed by "Princess Soft" and published to the Playstation 2 in September of 2004 this series went on to pioneer the worst genre in anime, that being the overly fetishized roleplay shorts. "W: Wish" came bundled with an anime adaptation of the same name, Directed by Osamu Sekita and animated by the now defunct "Trinet Entertainment" and "Picture Magic" it began airing on KIDS less than a week after the games release. "W: Wish" Went on to have a unique Spin-Off/OVA called W:Wish Omake W:Wish Omake removes its protagonist entirely and instead asksthe question, what if the viewer became the protagonist? it attempts to break the boundaries of escapism in its 4 episode long runtime, and is quite possibly the worst thing to ever been invented alongside paper straws. As a stand-alone OVA the characters are not given any recognizable characteristics other than fetish tropes yet was compelling enough to spark something far worse. 5 Years ago in the winter of 2017, a more well know iteration of the genre was released. Studio `Typhoon Graphics` released their latest anime short "One Room" "One Room" is a short series comprised of 4 minute long episodes designed to have the viewer become the protagonist. The viewer is forced to self insert themselves into a world where you are constantly being flirted with by three horny heroines. and apparently the idea alone was enough to warrant "One Room" Three seasons, and a spin-off called "Room Mate" where you interact with horny boy's rather than horny girls. The series is given far more runtime but feels identical to the far shorter ""W: Wish" One room carries no weight and is strictly marketed towards lonely otaku willing to jerk of to anything 2D that moves. "One Room" has been so successful that im starting to notice a shift in my beloved shorts format. Finally I get to talk about "180 Byou de Kimi no Mimi wo Shiawase ni Dekiru ka?" otherwise known as "Can I Make Your Ears Happy in 180 Seconds" The show is just about as bad as it's title, So I will refer to this show as "this thing" You see this thing is an abomination, it tarnishes the reputation of multiple art forms such as, Short animation/Anime, ASMR, and erotica as a whole. This thing markets itself to be about ASMR and the beauty behind it, except it fully sexualizes and fetishes the medium. The characters talk about the healing process in the ear via ASMR, in reality the girls and the creators want you jerking off to the sound design and still frames of cute 2D girls. While ASMR has sexual traits i feel as if this depiction is totally unsat, and is utterly vulgar. it also objectively fails at being relaxing, as the sound design is poorly mixed and they play a terrible ending that contradicts the damn show it surely will abrupt any form of enjoyment from the series. As erotica it fails even worse, half the shots are still frames of terribly positioned close-ups the girls are purely just pin-up's and are marketed at the most cliché fetishes. its offensive to anything that has come before it, to give this thing any remote compliments. I beg anyone reading this, do not watch any of these shows, these companies are not here to provide you a show, or a product, they are here to make money off of you and weak vulgar incel otaku, who are capable of busting nuts in under 3 minutes. I'd hate to see one of my favorite formats of animation in general be overrun by these terrible roleplay fetish anime. Go watch "Space Patrol Luluco" Instead.
This show is less like a “real anime” and more like a small group’s experimental toe-dipping into the anime industry. While it doesn’t quite succeed at being an ASMR or an anime, it’s an enjoyable experience and worth looking at for the novelty if nothing else. Story: 6/10 The show consists of a series of vignettes following a few friends as they experiment with different ASMR techniques. Nothing groundbreaking, but it’s not immersion-breaking, either, which an important aspect often overlooked for excuse-plot anime. Art: 8/10 The visuals of this anime are weirdly good. Most bite-sized anime are not so lovingly rendered as this one. I feel obligated to notethe use of ecchi angles, which is expected but nevertheless important to disclose. Sound: 6/10 Unfortunately, this anime suffers from a constant issue: normal dialogue overpowers the ASMR. Electric Earpick runs afoul of this the hardest, but it’s not unwatchable, merely disappointing when thinking of what could have been. Character: 6/10 We don’t really get to know them, but it doesn’t matter so much. Enjoyment: 9/10 The fact that this even exists puts a smile on my face. Despite the lack of ASMR quality, it nevertheless feels like a charming love letter to the ASMR community. I’d be interested in a second season of this. Who should watch this anime? If you like experimental shorts, it’s worth a viewing. If you like ecchi anime and ASMR, temper your expectations, but consider giving it a go. It’s so short that at worst, you’ll be mildly disappointed at what could have been. And while real ASMRtists do it better, it just may put a smile on your face, too. Overall, 6/10.
All I wanted was some good ASMR alongside some nice anime visuals. Instead, I got what was, essentially, softcore hentai (bar one episode). In short, if you want ASMR, don't waste your time. It's half an hour of my life I'll never get back, and if anything, it woke me up because I was so uncomfortable at some points. Episode 1 should've been enough of a red flag but I wanted to see if it would get better. The sweat drops, anime girl moans and thigh/booba shots. It just wasn't ASMR. None of the episodes were relaxing, and even when they were for like, 30seconds, it was ruined by either a moaning sound, weird dialogue or the outro (which, yes, is regular music, not ASMR either, shocker.) All of the episodes felt like weirdly sexual fanservice, especially the episodes with the mum in it, it felt like somebody writing the show and a weird fetish for being treated like a baby, and just forced it into like 2/3 of the episodes, so uncomfortable to watch. Even then, I would've happily tolerated it if the ASMR was good, but it straight up wasn't. If you insist on watching any of the episodes, episode 8 is my recommendation. It uses a guy and isn't sexualised, there's no weird anime girl moaning, just nice, relaxing talking and ear picking (though the sounds are a little too quiet to get the full effect). Episode 7 is both the worst and best. It has little to no value as actual ASMR, but I will admit, the brother complex trope did make me chuckle a little. The art was pretty nice though, I will give them props on that. TL;DR - The girls are cute, but it's closer to softcore hentai; way too much moaning and thigh/booba shots, some uncomfortable tropes/fetishes are present and it's way too overdramatic. Little to no ASMR value, but if you want to burn 30 minutes, go for it. Fyi if you've never listened to regular ASMR, and this is your only experience, I promise you actual ASMR is super relaxing (I sleep to it most nights). You do have to watch out though, even on YouTube as so much of it is over-sexualised when that's just not what ASMR is supposed to be. Some actually relaxing, normal ASMRtists i recommend instead of this show are Ephmeral Rift, GibiASMR, Taiyo ASMR, ASMR Tiny, Dong ASMR and Kurii ASMR. (Kurii does mainly anime ASMR, and ER and Gibi do some anime ASMR)
I do enjoy listening to ASMR on YouTube, so the concept of an ASMR anime sounded interesting to me. However I was not sure what to expect going into this anime. Was this going to include actual ASMR? Or is it just about girls who like ASMR? Turns out it's a bit of both. The short episodes were slightly concerning to me, since I'm used to listening to hour long ASMR videos. But it became quickly apparent, that this anime serves a different purpose than the ASMR videos on YouTube. While each episode does contain its fair share of ASMR, it also has its characters constantly givingcommentary on it. As they don't whisper when commentating and just talk as they normally would, it can drown out the ASMR part at times. (Personally, I did find it slightly annoying at first and thought to myself, can they please shut up during the ASMR parts??) But then I realized that if I wanted to listen to ASMR uninterrupted, I could just go to YouTube. So what exactly is the purpose of this anime, if not to relax while listening to ASMR? To tell an entertaining story perhaps? Well, some episodes follow an ongoing narrative with reappearing characters, but others are completely detached from the rest. However, it is fun to imagine that ASMR artists might have gone through similar experiences irl as the characters in the anime (like your mom wondering why there is a head in your room or explaining to your friends what ASMR is). But I wouldn't say the story is the main focus either. In my opinion, the anime serves as an introduction to those who have heard of ASMR, but don't really know what it is or are curious to try it out. Just like the characters in the anime, which are doing ASMR for the first time themselves :D It felt like a showcase of different ASMR sounds, similar to the previews at the beginning of long ASMR videos on YouTube (especially episode 9). The difference being, this preview is 12 episodes long, has cute girls talking over the ASMR parts and it's all animated! To sum things up: pros: - anime contains some good quality ASMR - anime has some funny moments with its characters - nice animation cons: - characters interrupt / talk over ASMR parts - some sounds could be closer to the mic (but that's just my personal preference) - not many sounds on the right ear Overall I would say, if you like ASMR or if you are interested in finding out what its about, give this a watch :)
I've had the question for a few years now, what even is ASMR? Like I understand the mechanics of it, and after sitting through this whole anime I'm acutely aware that some people are really into it. But why? Is it like a sexual thing? If you were trying to convince me otherwise this anime is doing a poor job of it. If it's just another weird sexual fetish I get it. Some people like sweat or feet, this is honestly less weird than that. But real youtube channels exist with underage girls doing ASMR for a likely all male audience, so the people whoare into it will swear up and down that it's nothing sexual or weird going on. It's just "healing." Riiiight, and Epstein killed himself. Then there's the weird intersect between this fetish and infantilism, which ranges anywhere from wanting a woman to treat you like a baby to actually wearing diapers and trying to un-pottytrain yourself. The fact that they dedicated 3 episodes of this show to weird baby play is pretty telling. I guess if you're into ASMR for some reason you might like this. I get it, there's an audience for this sort of thing. It's just not for me, thanks. 4/10
This is an anime about ASMR, usually having main girls make weird sounds with their mouth or hands around the doll that`s designed for ASMR. That`s it. That`s the whole anime. Honestly, the art and animations are pretty decent (above average) and sounds were naturally really good. Character designs are pretty mid and there is little to no actual story in the anime. I liked the dad character because he was the only male character in the series and his episode was quite interesting. Overall it`s just a desert of an anime, short and sweet. If you just wanna watch something quick while feeling chills fromASMR sounds this is for you, but otherwise this is very under average anime and is not for everyone, might make you uncomfortable.
