Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

I...I'm crying. For more than half a year I've been hoping and hoping for a male idol anime and finally...finally, I have it!

It's not by KyoAni like I originally wanted it to be but I won't look at a gift horse in the mouth!

But if this airs in Summer(when Free! could probably air) it could compete with Free! for BD/DVD buyers. I hope they support both of these. I need MORE MALE IDOL ANIME!

It lists Japanese word for novel "小説" instead of the word for light novel "ノベル", so it's novel.
