Japanese Title: ひもてはうす
The series focuses on five girls and a cat who live together at the Himote House, a share house in Tokyo’s Nakano district. The girls living there are the three sisters Tokiyo, Kinami and Kokoro Himote and Kokoro’s classmates Tae Hyogo and Minami Arai. The cat is called Enishi. Together they contemplate about how one can become popular.
I’m not a fan of CGI and HIMOTE HOUSE is packed of it. It combines moving CGI with some cute pastel still drawings to tell a story of 5 girls with psychic powers who live together with a talking cat. They spend their first day together talking about pants and bras and testing their powers which include shooting laser from their hands and stopping time.
HIMOTE HOUSE is an original anime that relies on everyday jokes and one-time gags. It is your usual slice-of-life anime that is full of Japanese-only jokes that will probably pass unnoticed by the western audience. Every gag gave the feeling that it is somehow funny but the language barrier made it difficult to understand the jokes. Yet, it was evident that the voice actresses were having a blast of a time.
I’m not going to follow the series, but if you want some CGI slice-of-life cuteness, I recommend you watch the first episode.
