I Failed At Anime 2022
Final ranking:
11 > 2 > 9 > 5 > 8 > 4 > 6 > 10 > 3 > 1 > 7

I didn't actually watch 12 because I thought 11 was the end and already took it out of my queue, whoops.

I have to perform more science before i can give an accurate ranking for everyone, but

I'd rather fall asleep next to a kid i'm babysitting, awkward as that might be, than so much as be in the same room at the boys from 10.

The leading two were obvious, and I thought IRL Danshi was weirdly sweet.

I haven't caught up with all the pillow boys yet, but my tentative ranking so far is:

11 > 4 > 2 > 5 > 6 >>>(ones I haven't seen yet)>>> 1 > 3

The first half is pretty solid, but the rest are subject to change.

I'd rank Char higher, but I don't think he'd share a pillow with someone who's nearing 30.

I finished watching the ones I hadn't seen before sleeping for a bit, and the results were... surprisingly good for the most part?

In terms of the character I'd like to pretend 7 didn't exist at all, but listening to it actually made me feel pretty tired and ready to sleep afterwards. Kinda like humoring my five-year-old cousins for a while. Could have really done without the ending, though.

IRL boy wasn't bad, but if we're comparing college guys then astronomy senpai was better. Library boy was also very relaxing. I'm glad that he wasn't too mad about people napping in the library, and his book about kittens was a very good recommendation. :)

Unfortunately, the twins were absolutely terrible and ruined the sleepy mood entirely. I don't want to be in the same room as them. Ever. I had to rewatch the Food Stall episode to wipe 10 out of my head...

I was actually debating on making a separate list directly correlating to sleepiness quality, since I suspect that my rankings would shift a lot. But I'd have to watch all of these again when I'm actually tired...

10 would be at the bottom of the list forever though. Absolutely the worst.

I honestly wouldn't mind 10 if I wasn't convinced they actually came from a Junji Ito story.

1/12: Merry - The Kind Soul Who Watches Over You As You Sleep
2: Tanaka Sousuke - Senpai Danshi - Your senpai at work that embraces you with the composure of an mature man
3: Hanamine Kanade - Music Danshi - A high school student that gives his all to music and the violin
4: Kijinami Eiji - Dialect Danshi - The transfer student who hates losing, but is more pure-hearted than others.
5: Emori T Ryuushi - Astronomy Danshi - A college student who loves to look at the stars
6: Maki Yuu - Delusions of Grandeur Danshi - A freshman that doesn't want to be accused of having delusions of grandeur
7: There was no episode seven. (Innocent Danshi)
8: Sasayama Nao - Happy IRL Danshi - Hip College Student Who Loves Cell Phones And Mixers
9: Mochizuki Shirusu - Librarian Danshi - The librarian that treasures books and book lovers like yourself.
10: Chigiri Yonaga/Yayoi - Flower Arrangement Danshi - Hobbyist Twins Who Are Full Of Wisdom
11: Iida Yuuichirou - Food Stall Danshi - An Old Guy Who Loves Oden And Freedom

After giving it several days of thought and analysis, I have results.

I know that many people liked food stall man. But, he just wasn't for me, you know? I guess I just wasn't particularly comfortable with him. Too gruff for me. Still, he... Was memorable. He was better than a few that just didn't really stand out. Those being, music boy and dialect boy. I have no real preference for them. They were just okay.

Those that were negative? For some reason, chuuni boy gave me very poor sleep quality. The kid wasn't great, but honestly, falling asleep next to a family member isn't really that out of the ordinary??? it doesn't have to be weird if you don't make it weird. He wasn't a top pick by any means but, while subpar, he was not outwardly horrid. And the sheep boy, Merry... Well! He was a bit creepy, too. Not AS creepy, buy still.

On the positive side, as I mentioned before, astronomy boy was very pleasant, and I consistently got good sleep with my good, caring senpai from work. He just cares so much...! And the librarian boy, he was also pretty good. He has good taste in books!!! But one I hadn't mentioned was Happy IRL boy. He reminded me a lot of some of my friends from college, so he was good to be around. It's certainly not like i've never fallen asleep in the presence of a boy i know from college in real life.

The flower arrangement boys don't even enter the picture.

So, that's
