"Beautiful NEET", Ahahahahaha, okay Japan.

If the romance is good, I'll stick with it. It won an award so I'll at least try it out.

Sounds interesting. I'm always looking forward to a good romance comedy anime.

Alright, aside from all the banter and speculation regarding "it sounds like it might be interesting" or "it will definitely suck because (insert company name) is handling the project," has anyone actually read this that could give us a clue as to whether or not it is a decent story? It doesn't seem to be very well received as a light novel thus far on MAL... so I'm guessing it wasn't appealing to general audiences and, instead, was aimed at the judges (i.e. a plethora of plot devices that are quite unnecessary yet appealed to more critical views)?

Sometimes competitions have really weak submissions as a whole, so you can't be certain that an award winning story is actually good. Also, you can only get so much of an idea as to how well a show will turn out from previews and summaries (especially since summaries rarely indicate how good a show will be.)

From what I've seen, there shouldn't be any reason for anyone to immediately scratch this show off their list or even add it... just seems like "meh" material to me. No matter what people say, A-1 isn't horrid and is in fact hit or miss. The people who scratch this show off their list because of the misses should pay more attention to the presence of hits and vice versa. It really is to early to make any decisions on this show, I'm going to wait till later to make a decision.

Sounds pretty meh light novel based on the description.

A-1 I think has simply made a long sequence of poor staff choices of late for their adaptations that has given them a poor reputation.

I guess it's interesting and yeah, it does seem a bit similar (at least in premise) to Tasogare Otome x Amnesia...but the genres seem a bit different. We don't know how the girl died (though perhaps she died young/tragically since she is a young ghost?). And Tasogare (though I haven't finished it yet) has elements of horror/mystery. If I was to guess, this seems more comedic/lighthearted. But I don't know, as I haven't read the LN...

Officials wouldn't change the direction if there wasn't a bigger demand for the new series. These are business decisions which were made after looking at supply & demand, trends, costumer groups, etc. And apparently the decision was: Anime that tries to attract new groups/be different is not as desired as the same stuff people keep airing and demanding on the other slots over and over again. I assume that BRS had other priorities than selling BDs/DVDs (merch, for example); maybe this was also the case for R;N.


noitaminA was forced to change because they could no longer monetize the previous style of content. When they did Honey & Clover, there was a lot of ad sponsorship, and TV ratings had actual impact on profitability. For whatever reason though, that sponsorship vanished over time, leaving them at the mercy of DVD/merchandise sales.

Fuji TV would've killed the block outright had the producers not begun marketing to otaku.

Oh man look at that picture, that sexy pose? If this show isn't funny I think I am outta here, or if this isn't that great then I am outta here too, it sounds generic and just meh. I am not into these stuff lately, it feels very repetitive of what Japan is making now, with a few exception which is great.

@Complaining at recent noitamina
Stop bringing the worst examples. Yes, maybe it lacks masterpieces, but I think some were good enough (Gin no Saji for example). To be fair most of their failure examples also comes from execution failure, not from not trying.

Anyway, this doesn't looks good or bad right now, still could become anything. Premise is questionable, but at least it has decent art and won an award.

That said, let me return back to the corner, remembering that Hakomari most likely will not receive anime adaptation till the end of universe.

Same director as Usagi Drop. Noteworthy story. Could be 'ril good.
