It was announced via the official Twitter account that the boys' love (BL) game Gakuen Handsome will be getting an OVA adaptation. The news was interpreted initially as an April Fools' joke, in part due to the game being considered an infamous parody of the BL genre; however, publisher Tohoku Penet confirmed today that the announcement was legitimate. Titled Gakuen Handsome the Animation, the anime will be released on DVD on August 28. Animation production will be done by the game's developer, Team YokkyuFuman, under the supervision of Tohoku Penet. SynopsisThe protagonist is an unnamed seventeen-year-old boy who transfers back to the city after a seven year absence and enrolls in a prestigious all-boys school which takes pride in being the best among its prefecture. Changes are going to be made in his life, surrounded by faces both new and old. (Source: VNDB) In 2010, the game was released for both Windows and Mac computers. It was then ported to iOS and Android systems in December 2013. Source: Official Tweet Gakuen Handsome The Animation on MAL |

| "Hey, assbutt!"—Castiel, Supernatural "Do you ever have a problem where you just don't know how to reply to an argument-- not because you don't know the answer, but you just don't where to begin? Like, the foundation of knowledge you'd need to impart to this person before you could even begin to drag them out of their sinkhole of ignorance would cost thousands of dollars, if it were coming from a University?" -MAL in a nutshell. |
| Quite clearly a parody. Would rather read that VN than Fate/Stay Night. |
 |
| Lol the artstyle.. this should be fun to watch, it's only an OVA. |

| This is gunna be hilarious. I can't wait! Also, the people commenting who honestly think that this is some legit, serious work that someone enjoys for anything other than humor just clearly don't get comedy. |
“Victor can’t be satisfied by anyone but me.”  |
| What happened to PrimeTime and those studios that would animate BL OVAs that actually had action in them? |
| There's more: ?!?! What is this? The art looks like some crappy amateur otome game... and the chin thing is... is so weird. O_O Might just watch to see wth this is. Since it's a parody I hope it's actually funny...? The picture with blood... is this really a BL game lol? I wonder what the animation will be like... |

| Well, I really hope this is for real. I always wished for an anime adaption of this ridiculous game :D I don't believe in a prank anymore. Though the day of the annoucement (1st April) and the date of the confirmation (2nd April) are indeed a bit suspicious. But one 'coincidence' made me think this was real from the start: a few weeks ago the holder of the rights of 'Gakuen Handsome' blocked a video of the intro on youtube after years(!) of showing no interest in it. So I already thought back then that they probably are up to something with the project. Maybe it's a mere coincidence, maybe a case of slow lawyers or something else. Who knows? I myself hope we will get the Ova in August! The Game deals with almost every Yaoi/BL stereotype: - set in a prestigous 'all boys' school - pointy (very, very pointy) chins of the characters - the characters themselves are nothing but stereotypes: 1. the nameless MC: naive, blushes all the time, easy prey for the seme 2. Student Council President: of course a megane, has this weird Midorima lucky charm of the day fetish 3. the 'long time no see' childhood friend: naturally in love with the MC 4. Gay Teacher: offers special education, dances Samba (in a matching outfit), poses nude for the 'Art Club' 5. The Soccer Club President: the one in the Key Art illustration 6. A myterious Exchange Student: I won't spoil you, but his got a 'mission', likes cats (the animals :D). |
| Dat chin tho! I can't stop laughing at it! Will watch! |
