I started the manga and it was pretty cool. Hopefully the anime will be the same.

Synopsis from the Manga one-shot:

Akira Matsumoto doesn't dislike being chased by girls. In fact, he likes it.

But if he's going to be killed ... well, that's a different matter.

Straight to the "uninterested" bin.

Manga wasn't really interesting tbh... Maybe I should've read more than 6 chapters, but I won't expect much.

Will definitely watch it. Looks really good. I haven't read the manga yet, but maybe I will wait to see how the anime is first.

Was it really selling well, cause was reading it a long time ago and it was slow-paced and mediocre at best. And well, seems like index 3 won't be coming anytime soon :(

Same, it's been awhile.

I should catch up on the manga now. It's definitely a very slice of life story, so people who don't want mellow and relaxing (and some cuteness) then this probably won't be for them. Although this is just my opinion while not caught up on the manga. JC Staff seems good, although when was the last time they made something that didn't have fanservice.

What's up with these announcements

yesterday we had NHK X shaft for 3gatsu

today there's NTV X jcstaff.

Such odd choices

and what the heck is madhouse doing next season if they already let go of 2 high profile NTV shows like Ace attorney & this

anyway, this type of material suits jc staff & staff is decent, plus it's ntv who are generally good so I'll watch the first few eps.
Imagine a berserk anime by Yoshiaki kawajiri at Madhouse.

Now take a look at Berserk (2016).

That sounds like a synopsis from a completely different manga to me. I wonder if you got the name wrong? There's no guy and no one trying to kill anyone. Think of this show as a sort of magical SoL of a witch in training.

It's from the one-shot and is intentionally misleading and vague for some reason. Though it's a bit silly to judge a series based off a one line description, it is true that the synopsis for both the manga and one-shot are pretty poor and doesn't do the series any favors.

Can confirm no fan service, no male protagonist, just a very laid back SOL about a young women (who happens to be a witch in training) and her everyday life the type of show you watch just to relax if the manga is anything to go by good atmosphere , decent characters kind of off beat sense of humor and tone but not much of anything happens I enoyed my time with the manga.I'll watch it when it comes around

The one shot and the manga have totally different stories, the one shot manage to have a story within it's presented chapter (Kinda a interesting one too, and the synopsys pretty is pretty much legit). The manga with same name (Which seems is what he got to get published from the success of the one shot) is one of those calm stories where characters are just enjoying their time, but with witch stuffs.

The instant I saw the key visual I thought it was adult Chitanda on a broom.

My disappointment was real when I saw "JC Staff" and not Kyoto Animation.

Good, I was just thinking it was about time we got a PV for this when I opened the thread.
Thanks for the share.
So that's the voice of the rookie seiyuu then. Seems fitting so far.

Looks like an enjoyable little series.
