I loved the ED to KanColle (in fact it may be my favourite song from any anime of the year so far). Here's hoping the OP to this anime will be as good as that was.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

I thought it was either Ono Kensho or Saitou Soma for Ayato when I listened to the voice samples a few days ago. I also thought it would be Takahashi Minami for Kirin. I did get Julis right though.
I believe there's also an announcement for a game but details for that will be until it premieres. Though there's claim of 2-cour, I don't see any source from it. It solves some issues with the pacing if that's true.

This and Rakudai airing at the same time just spells trouble.

I'm curious why you say this? Is it because of people comparing them to each other since they seem so similar? Both of them are totally not going to get compared to every other harem show, especially those that take place in a battle school, within the last couple years by people who dislike that type of anime.

I'll probably ending up watching both anyway though.

You just cannot handle awesomeness of Cavalry if it is two cour.

Anyway I'm not digging the character design. Too chubby. LN have it thinner than this.

There are only two thing worth noting for similarity. One is tournament setting and the other is MC who have limit break. But even then it's still very different in application.

I'm not sure this will be 2 cour anymore...

Character designs looks underwhelming imo. Mixed thoughts on this.

Cast hardly matters for crap like this. No voice actor in the world can save these magical school light novel adaptations.

Yeah, the designs are way too childish I saw them and was like: "Wait why don't they look like there LN designs?" They're really nothing like them.

Not attempting to flame, I simply didn't know. My caring for voice actors only goes so far as "I like her voice" or "oh cool, ___ has the same voice actor as ___", so I'm a little out of the loop.

For me, it's like following a celebrity so it's much more than just "oh they have the same voice" but like, I actually read facts and watch their real life events :P

I know Kirin is supposed to be the youngest of the cast, but looking at this they might have overdone it too much,. Hopefully it will look better once the anime airs.

As long as it is not Yuki Kaji, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, or Natsuki Hanae voicing the male lead, I am very fine with this. Their voice are too common now.
