Sakura Sou is a hostel for problematic students, and our male protagonist, Kanda Sorata, with nowhere else to turn, was accepted as one of its residents. When Shiina Mashiro, a world-renowned, talented artist, moves in, Sorata is determined to protect her from the other troublesome residents (or so he thinks).
Even though Mashiro is an extremely talented artist, she is unable to take care of herself with regards to one's daily activites. An owner-and-pet relationship develops between Sorata and Mashiro. How will things turn out, especially with the wide array of quirky residents at Sakura Sou?
Based on what I have seen at the official anime website, http://sakurasou.tv/, "Sakura Sou no Pet na Kanojo" appears to fall under the slice-of-slice and comedy genre, perhaps with some ecchi fanservice thrown in.
Perhaps the following preview video will entice my fellow Fakku users to catch Sakura Sou no Pet na Kanojo in the Autumn season of 2012. In my opinion, the background music is quite catchy; it does remind me of "Tora Dora".
Anyone else intending to catch "Sakura Sou no Pet na Kanojo"?
I'm about to go watch episode 1 in a little bit. Also, there's already a topic on this anime.
EDIT - Finished watching it
Spoiler:
It wasn't bad and I did manage to laugh at a few parts... but damn, I don't know if this anime is for me. Shiina is cute as fuck but I just hate how the MC is always so... afraid of sex? I mean, if the MC was like us, it would turn into a hentai but still... I just hate it when the MC is so bent on being normal. I don't know why the theme of "I just want to be normal" is always so prevalent in some animes. It was a good episode but I don't know if I'm gonna be able to continue it. Maybe I will just for Shiina because she's fucking adorable. I'll give it a few more episodes to see how it progresses.

[spoil]for the gags. face it, japs aren't as forward as we are. if they were, their population wouldn't be small right now. an MC bent on being normal is rather funny because of the term tsukkomi(did i get that right?) i can't really describe the full detail on it but it seems effective in making me laugh.
Naturally, he got volunteered for "Shiina Duty". Saw that one coming a mile away. I swear, the girl is like a malfunctioning robot or something...and it's almost annoyingly cute. Also, I like the token Tsundere. And that's a rare thing from me. And lastly, Shiina is apparently a big time artist already...who knew?
