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.
