Cute, I'd buy that, if the price was more reasonable... Smile

On the other hand, all the door thresholds and small floor areas of this old wooden house might not make it very practical...

Best idea I've heard all year. Make one in English and I'd totally buy it.

Cute. As long as it doesn't start that "onii-san~♡" stuff. Not interested, in that case.

I can just picture this turning on in the middle of the night and saying "Oniiiiisan~<3."

If they'd make this in English, I'd even buy it for that price.

$1290, no thanks, that's more than importing a Collectors/Special Edition version of a 2 cour anime on BD, I'd buy it if the price was cut in half though.

The idea of this sounds like it could turn into a series but the vacuum can become a human that resembles a teen guy's cute little sister that died.

That's a great idea! Surprised Considering there's already an anime about anthropomorphized soda cans can't really see how this could be any worse...

Let the vacuum not only resemble the sister, but have her spirit/ghost attached. The main character having a major life crisis of some sort (accident, parents dead, love interest dead, something grave enough...), and the little sister's spirit supports him to overcome it. Until he gets together with the new girl transfer student at school/comes to grips with his past etc something. And in the end it's a happy occasion when having a party he confesses to his girlfriend. And then, with the sister being confident on him being able to smile again she can finally pass on, the two, tears in their eyes, slowly see her fade away. Aand throw in a hot springs episode there somewhere for good measure.
...Something like that.

I'm not sure if they'll market those outside of Japan.

Pack one of those holographic girls on top for full immersion. But even like this it's one of the coolest things I heard of all year. Would import if the price was more reasonable.

Pfft dub would be inferior. Just make a sub-version. Laughing
