Synopsis:

Yoshihito’s quiet life as a rooming house landlord takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of Lily, who quickly reveals a hidden, primal nature. Their shared residence becomes a nexus for the unusual when Yoshihito is approached by a clandestine organization dedicated to regulating interdimensional incursions. Suddenly, his tenants are not ordinary; they represent beings from across realities – creatures and entities requiring careful management within the confines of his home. The series explores themes of responsibility, connection forged through circumstance, and navigating the extraordinary within the mundane. It follows Yoshihito as he balances everyday life with the increasingly bizarre demands of his unconventional clientele, all while grappling with the implications of a world teeming with unseen forces.

    At first it is to say, this is a Chinese Anime, so it is a bit different, from most of the common Japanese Anime you already know. But don't get me wrong, there isn't anything bad about that, the Anime doesn't look different (at least not that much) and the speaking/subtitles are at normal speed. That is good, because on some other Chinese Anime, the speaking and subtitles were way too fast. Good, that the producers of this one though about audience, from different countries (the series also has a Japanese subtitles). I felt really refreshed, about the difference, from 100% normal Anime, instead it reminded me ofsome good cartoons, I watched in my childhood (but it doesn't have a cartoon or Shounen style) and this was a nice feeling.nnThe Anime might look like the fantasy genre, but it also contains science-fiction elements as well.The intro song is nice, the graphic quality and art is okay, the sound is good, the characters were interesting and only a bit stereotypical (not as much as in other Anime).nnI have to say, this Anime is worth watching and I encourage you to do that too.nI hope for a 2nd season.

    I honestly had a hard time watching the entire season of this, mainly because the subtitles were absolutely horrible quality. The spelling and grammar were atrocious. The story itself, while not top-tier, was interesting enough that I didn't drop it immediately. I watched this on Amazon Prime, I never bothered to look for it elsewhere, so it's possible that on other streaming platforms or websites that there may be better subtitles, but at least on Prime there was no English dub and no other source for subtitles. Either way the quality of the subtitles was bad enough that I rated it 4/10 when I otherwisemight have rated it a 5 or 6.

    I found that's a very different anime, very interesting and has a unique story, although it has some errors of lack of information, I really liked the plot that shows throughout the episodes. Although the graphic is a bit sinful, it becomes so much fun that it's even understandable. At the beginning, I confess that I found the plot very slow and long-lasting, but as I was persistent, I managed to watch the other episodes and I liked what was shown; I believe that an investment in the graphic and good marketing to make it more visible to the public can make it a success. I'm waiting fora new season to find out which pariah has inside the boiled egg.
