If your search refers to the 2021 anime involving a group of artists living together (a "hostel" or sharehouse setting), the show is almost certainly "Remake Our Life!"
In this series, the protagonist Kyouya Hashiba travels back in time 10 years to his college days. He ends up living in a sharehouse with three other students who would eventually become famous creators in the future. The term "Juice" in your search query may refer to a nickname, a specific scene involving drinks, or a misremembered title.

While Episode 1 establishes the time travel and Episode 2 introduces the housemates, Episode 3 is a pivotal moment for the "Hostel" aspect of the show.
Key Themes: The episode emphasizes the contrast between Kyouya’s past corporate life and his new creative, communal life in the sharehouse. It showcases the struggles of game development and the bonding moments that happen in the common areas (kitchen/living room) of their "hostel."
In this episode, the relationship between the main character, Yoshida, and the high school girl he took in, Sayu, begins to evolve.
Before diving into the specifics of Episode 03, it is crucial to understand the source material. Juice Anime Hostel (often stylized as Juice! Anime Hostel) is neither a studio-backed Shonen Jump property nor a Netflix original. Instead, it emerged from the "New Wave" of independent Korean and Japanese web animators during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Premise: The series is set in a bizarre, liminal-space hostel located at the crossroads of a dying metropolis and a haunted forest. The "Juice" in the title refers to a magical, color-shifting beverage that the hostel serves to travelers. Depending on the color of the juice, the drinker experiences a different emotional reality—Joy (Orange), Sorrow (Blue), Anger (Red), or Void (Black).

The show ran for a total of 6 episodes between 2020 and 2022. However, Episode 03, released in 2021, is widely regarded as the "Empire Strikes Back" of the series—darker, more complex, and narratively risky.
