Spoiler for ep1:

I think it was an okay first episode. As far as Pink goes, definitely more watchable than Shikimori. Even the "ED with unique artstyle" is done better here.
The setting is forced, but its just something to set the story and probably won't get much focus, so we can only accept it is an excuse to get the characters to live with each other. I mean, in other anime, the protagonist's parents are always not at home or traveling and the kid is living by himself, right? Same thing.

I guess the only thing problematic right now is, that holy crap, the hair colors are so... radiant. From what I can see, her hair was already pinky enough in the original art, but the coloring in the anime attracts the eyes' attention really strongly.
Also, the protagonist's friend's hair is literally seaweed

Also, nice NTR bait

The other one is just a gyaru too
