Synopsis
Succubus, Dullahan and Vampire. They are known as Ajin, or "demi"s and are slightly different than the average human. They have lived alongside humans for ages under persecution. However, in recent years, they have become accepted as members of society. This manga follows a high school biology teacher who has a great interest in demis and his interaction with the various demis in his school, each with their own cute problems. (Source: MU)

I haven't read the source material, but since I'm a person that loves comedy, well, I will give it a shot. Comedy is always welcome for me.

This has more comedy than what people may expect.

Kinda curious to see how they plan to adapt it as I heard there's not many volumes.

Kind of a surprise. The art (and everything, really) was on the shoddy end.
Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you.

Winter 2016 feels too early, and the director is an unknown. And the character designer is the one who did asterisk. I hope the studio will not butcher the show.

TBH, i have a long list dissapointment from A-1, but A-1 also give me plenty list of satisfiction... a-1 is kinda mixed bag, but judging as series solely by studio is kinda stupid IMHO...

Seeing A-1 as the studio is simultaneously relieving because it could have been left with a worse studio, but at the same time it's a studio that overworks their staff and doesn't know how to divide their resources. I don't like A-1 at all, or trust them. Frankly I liken them to anime sweatshops due also in part to the frequency in which they adapt and push out anime every season, and I can't wait for them to go bankrupt (if you'll allow me to get edgy for a second), but I acknowledge they're a big studio nonetheless and that takes some of my worries away about the quality of what's produced, but that's about it.

Edit: Actually I'm not mostly shitposting. Took me a quick scan of my post to remind myself of that. I don't like A-1 at all.

from same article:
Article said:
Anime director Daiki Nishimura (School Rumble, Valvrave the Liberator) also commented on the decision on Twitter, saying that "A-1 Pictures is not at fault... the current state of the entire business world that includes A-1 Pictures is at fault. To denounce A-1 Pictures alone is a mistake." He further describes the poor working conditions in the anime industry, confessing he himself had a period of depression due to overwork.

funny things that overworked is not even the worst people on this industries can recive (lets not forget underpaid and extream harsh working environtment (not only overworking, but no insurance, harsh work ethic, and shitty treatement) which ironicaly this guy have less). this is not A-1 problem, but the industry as the whole...

if you talking about industries working ethics, it's endless talking and every studio diserve to die, even the industries it self diserve to die (except maybe only toei and polygon pictures, which both if them ironicaly hated by comunity)

i am getting tired of saying this, but it's already like that (original source art even more derpy and more incosistant). only cover image that bearable.

did anybody just literaly trying to pull their ass solely to blame the studio?

your argument loses some validity when you realize that two of the characters (the vampire and human girl) are twin sisters lol. also besides that if you pay attention to the eye shape of the yuki onna and the succubus teacher theyre a lot different from hikari and himaris. the only instance where your critique holds any water is between the twins and the dullahan... maybe. also it was one guy doing the character designs and he also designed for sao so maybe thats what you mean by generic? but thats just how he draws lol.

Happy that they took the edge off the character designs, that was my first issue with the manga.

They say don't judge a book by its cover but it's really hard when it's that tween-edgy
