This review might be this good fully because I happened to watch this show in a very spesific time where it fit perfectly.
Still,
If you enjoy a laid back, feel good kinda show, this is it. I was impressed how they managed to sneak in also just right amount of drama in the form of the restaurant keepers backstory. I thought it was done tastefully and the balance between the episodic feel goodness and the dramatic sun plot was bang on.
What I also enjoyed was the self-deprecating handsome guy cliche, I thought it was funny enough to pass the vibe check.
All and all, I was pleasently surprised.

If you need a low brain power anime, this may be the perfect one. I can understand why some people would find this boring. It is very slow, and light. Nothing too heavy at all. But I really liked it, it had some really funny moments. And I wish there were more seasons. It hit just right, and was just what I needed right now.
Like I said, I wish there were more seasons. I would have loved to know more about the characters. I really loved the 4 main characters but I want to know more about them. You don't really get that in this 1 season. That's the main reason why it doesn't have a higher score from me.

This anime is heart-warming, calming, it's sweet, it's charming, it's pretty, the music is relaxing and energizing, and I am so incredibly glad to have seen it. It immediately became one of my favourite slice-of-life genre shows.
Each episode deals with a different story and with new characters coming to their cute cafe, and only 2 episodes in I was emotionally invested in the lives of these 4 gentlemen handling the cafe and I felt incredibly protective of their craft and of their lives.
It briefly shows how small shop owners who take their craft seriously are so far apart from the other 'chain' restaurants that people tend to prefer nowadays, and how damaging it can be to the originality of cooking, and as someone who dreams of going to Japan someday, whenever I do go there, I will plan…

The first episode sucks, BUT KEEP WATCHING. If you're looking for a relatively chill anime, this one might be for you.
While the first episode is certainly boring, the rest of the series does not feel that way at all. More episodic in nature, the four central characters bring us along with their good-natured vibes and natural chemistry together. There are definitely some humorous moments and gags that are very enjoyable.
Know what you're signing up for. This is an iyashikei (peaceful lives in calming environments) slice-of-life. If that's what you're looking for, then give this a go.
-------------Random Notes---------------
Weak first episode. Fails to answer the question, "Why are we joining the story here? What is its significance?" Definitely aims to be an iyashikei (sub-genre of…

Each episode gives us a new story.
We even get to know about the main characters as the anime progresses.
Overall i really liked the story.
The theme wasn't that unique as there already have been many shows like this in past.
Overall the story was good and decent.
Character design was also good and the story had various flavors like comedy, romance, friendship and more and all were mixed well and were served beautifully on a single platter.
I definitely would recommend watching this show.
The show isn't that much fun but the story has a positive vibe that is needed once in a while.

This show is what I really needed after a long day of work! I cried several times because of its wholesomeness, it really touches the heart. Every episode leaves me smiling and wanting for more. All we need in the middle of a pandemic are these kinds of shows. The art is beautiful, all the characters are so likable! The sounds make you feel at home. You'll never get enough of the fluffiness! You'll be surely uplifted after watching this show. It sure is wonderful to have something to look forward to everyday such as a good food that will wash away the weariness of your soul after a long day of work/study. This show really touched my heart, I recommend everyone to watch it. :)

Reason for watching: Was looking for a light-hearted show as an interim for more intense shows that I usually watch.
TL;DR: The story itself is rather lacking overall, though each episode does provide a good level of "feel-good" vibe and humour. The food art and food scenes are very therapeutic. Is a very easy to digest (no pun intended) show that brings about laughter and soothe the heart of the viewers.
Story
There is not much story to go on about here. Is a largely slice of life vibe with episodic events happening to the main protagonists. I put it as a Slice of life "vibe" since the story from one episode to the next doesn't have the typical Slice of Life transition/connection; the stories (episodes) doesn't connect on a casual, natural level (They hardly ever connects). Within the…

I started watching this anime on a whim, and was completely drawn in from the start. This series has moments that are smart, hilarious, stupid, and even cringe worthy; in short, there is something for every taste (especially if you like a quartet of bishie boys). There is a slight overarching story that hints at something unpleasant in each of the characters’ past, but this isn’t really fleshed out too much. It is probably shown more on the manga, and if there ever is a season 2 I hope it expands more on the past. This series has nothing that digs deep into a profound question, but that’s ok. This anime is fun and charming, and will surely make you smile.

I didn't find this series boring at all, I really enjoyed watching Rokuhoudou Yotsuiro Biyori. It was an easy watch, with different stories included in each episode. I was on the look out for an anime like this, that included cute tropes and was only a short series.
What I enjoyed the most is the shots of all the different type of foods and that being the main theme throughout the whole series, showing the relationship between people and food I personally liked. It made me hungry while watching! Another thing was, the series was wholesome and heart warming, as well as being a bit silly and funny at times.
I'd recommend giving it a watch as it's only 12 eps so can be watched over a day or two. A Sunday watch maybe? Anyway, I much preferred this over the likes of Shokugeki no Souma.

There is a very fine line between “Relaxing” and “Boring.” Rokuhoudou constantly switches between the two. Some episodes give off the perfect feeling of peace and relaxation with a quiet atmosphere and characters taking time off from their hard lives to have dessert or drink some tea. Other episodes can get borderline sleep inducing. Not because of the peaceful premise, but out of sheer boredom. It’s not particularly enjoyable whenever the anime tries to be anything besides calming. The humor never lands and the character development isn’t interesting. Most episodes tend to focus on new customers visiting the tea shop with their own personal issues. Almost all of these personal issues end up being solved by good food or a good drink. It’s not exactly the most dynamic or engaging, but some…

This was one of my favorites for the Spring 2018 season. I was pulled in from episode 1 by the very nice animation, and the pretty and clean art style of it. Add the subtle and sweet music and I realized this is going to be a fantastic show to watch whenever I feel like winding down. That happens to be what it's meant for. It even aired every Wednesday, making me even more mentally prepared to take things slooow.
Unfortunately, it can be too slow, making it awfully boring. I mean, really, really boring. But I still liked watching the characters interact with each other in the funniest ways, and also meeting customers with pretty interesting backstories. Oh, and we cannot forget the delicious looking food in every episode.
In all, it only really lacks in plot. Everything else is great. My…

Season after season I end up following some serie for unknown reasons and I finally regret.
It's by no means a bad anime...
Not specially good, tho.
Plot (as most of Slice of Life animes) almost intangible, characters kindly unidimensional displaying super-nice but irrelevant dialogues and BSO so charming as forgetable.
Art and animation are regularly fine; comfortable to see but sorta plain.
Kudos to its realistic respect for body-head and face-eyes proportions... they look natural enough to be a relief over so many big-headed, body-stretched and gigantic-eyed figures we're bearing in other series ("Kawaii!", they say... "Physically discombobulated mutants!", I say).
It managed to hook me and I watched it, so something good must be there.
Maybe the relaxing ambient they get.
You don…

Rokuhoudou Yotsuiro Biyori is this season’s Yuru Camp, though the overall presentation can’t quite be compared to how the latter did back last season. At first, this series is kind of a mixed bag, because of how it was presented, from the characters to the setting, everything felt bland and uninteresting, but luckily as the series progresses, it took the negative vibes off and thus, weaved its own centralized story that became better as time passes.
This series can best be described as Fukigen na Mononokean if it ever happened in the human world/society with the exact same issues as both series had laid out (staff that helps with people’s issues in everyday life), in an episodic or omnibus format. In a nutshell, it displays the lives of 4 men who run the small tea shop called Rokuhoudou,…
