This is absolutely undeniably inexorably the greatest bestest most fantabulous anime ever made

For some reason I feel like I'm watching Dora the Explorer

A series of 4 min shorts of semi attractive guys (and a child for some reason). It is essentially the female version of the Sleeping with Hinako OVA. Without the sleeping. Instead the characters talk you, as the audience and tell you how pretty or amazing you are which is so weird for me. I understand that there's an audience for this type of thing but it wasn't really worth putting on Crunchyroll .

Outside the guys talking there is no sounds, so it comes off as an audition demo instead of a short anime. Animation is okay, character are normal reverse harem tropes, and outside the main theme there's no music.

All in all, unless you are curious about this type of OVA/anime I say this is an easy pass. You really won't gain or lose no matter your choice.

Compared to Sleeping With Hinako, this anime is pretty good. Of course since it's supposed to help fall asleep, there is no basic plot or anything. Just a relaxing voice to help you sleep. The animation is pretty as well. (The intro is pretty loud for a sleeping anime for some reason.)  It has a certain charm that Sleeping with Hinako didn't have, probably it being 30 minutes of no plot. Because of this being 4 minutes, it's not much of a waste of time and won't bore people to death instead of sleep. I did watch the first episode around 2 in the morning and it did make me tired so I'll give them that.
This does also remind me of apps similar to this that are easy to find in the App Store but in Japanese. I guess that's a thing there I dunno. So I guess just check this out yourself to listen to a guy's relaxing voice for four minutes each week.

The second episode got really weird for me, especially when you're either watching young men going to bed or falling asleep and being watched by said men.

Definitely one you will either love or hate. You'll know what you're in for with this anime if you've used the sleepy boy apps or anything similar.
Seen. Episode 1
Story. There seems to be little to no storyline here. The character tells you a little about what he's done during the day while waiting for you to get home, but that's about as far as any sort of storyline goes.
Animation. The art is well done and is only let down by that fact that the majority of the episode is compiled of still frames. However, since the anime is meant to help you fall asleep it's excusable that the focus of the anime is on the voice acting rather than the movement in the animation.
Sound. The voice actor for the first episode is Natsuki Hanae, the main character in anime such as Aldnoah.Zero, Tokyo Ghoul, Nagi no Asukara and Gangsta. The dialogue is incredibly sweet and there's no doubt that I'd have an easy time falling asleep to his voice.
Character. You don't see much of his personality or any character development, which is understandable in only four minutes. What you do see is his shyness, the fact that he blushes and looks away whenever he says something that he thinks you might consider perverted. Which is something that never failed to make me smile.
Enjoyment. This is definitely an anime that would be better experienced if you're fluent in Japanese. That way you can close your eyes and listen to his voice while you drift off to sleep. Even though I had to read the subs it was still nice to watch and, as I said above, I could see myself very easily falling asleep to his sweet voice.
Overall. If you're feeling a little down then this could be a nice little pick me up for you at the end of the day, and as the episode is only four minutes long you can give it a try without feeling like you've wasted too much time if you end up not liking it. Personally I find this anime incredibly cute. It's short and sweet and I look forward to being able to watch and listen to each character as the weeks go by.

The animation and sound are pretty good... but that's where my list ends.  I'll admit I've only seen the first episode, so read this review with that in mind.  The (I assume) main character literally sits on a bed, with a pillow, and asks you in a creepy way if you want a "massage" and "how your day went".  He then talks about cats and asks the viewer to lie down, stretch out and relax with him in bed.  Maybe I'm just biased, but it came off as almost sexual innuendo rather that feels to me.  I guess if you just want to watch something weird, or you're a girl, or your gay, then you might enjoy this?  I'm honestly not sure what the target audience is, but I'm not in it, although I don't want to offend anyone and if your into this that's fine, but it isn't what I was expecting and I just want to give other viewers a heads up.  I also found him whispering stuff quite creepy.  According to the description different episodes should feature different guys with different personalities, but I guess this show just wasn't for me.  If someone else likes it, could you honestly tell me if it gets better or why you like it?  I'm not trying to judge here, but I'm honestly having a bit of trouble comprehending why I should like this show?

I don't want to spoil the "plot" but Boku no Pico has got some competition now as I have a hard time evaluating which was the creepiest and how it was possible to creep me out this much in less than 5 minutes. The animation is alright the sound is great but this script and this character jesus fucking christ no. why
