Oh this is a light novel? >_>
I always thought it was a manga...

Anyways, the manga started as action... and slowly turned into comedy/harem.... = =|
I don't know what to expect anymore...

Kinda seems like your average fighting anime that'll contain supernatural hijinks. Meh, why not, unless there's nothing else worth watching I'll give this a try.

Manga isn't half bad. With some plot holes but still pretty enjoyable. Of course it still all comes down to a studio, director and scrip.

There are like two girls... how is it a harem? And it's obvious who he'd end up with too.

Anyways, I'm excited. I like the manga.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Doesn't strike me as super interesting and looks kind of generic, but it still seems entertaining enough! I'll watch it and see how it turns out. It has Shounen and Supernatural, so I'm in for at least the start, anyway.

Only thing that strikes interesting is the character designs. I don't know what exactly to make of the synopsis. Guy born into prestigious family -> Guy can't feel spiritual energy -> Guy enjoying peaceful life -> Wham! A girl appears -> He's pulled into all sorts of shit. Other than not feeling spiritual energy, this seems almost like Bleach. Well, will give it a try, at the very least.

It looks kind of interesting. I've planned to read the manga for a while but I never got around to it.

What intrigues me most is the that the person who directed Korezom is directing this. That show is a lot of fun.

Wait what o.o? From the pictures posted before, I thought it would be more of a normal harem(if it does have harem) rather than a reverse one?
It only lists 2 main chars and from reading the synopsis, it looks like the guy will be the main main char and the one who cant do anything, not the girl.

But then again, I hvnt read the manga nor the novel, so everything I know is only from the synopsis.
So, you might be right I guess, since from your comment, you have clearly read the novel or manga right?

Quite epic BGM in the C84 PV. On the PV itself, not bad indeed. I'm really looking forward to this anime now.
