This looks interesting, sorta reminds me of Noragami with a female main rather than a male.
and looks less serious and funnier,

Looks generic. I guess I'll watch this for fun and given by the amount of chapters, I'm expecting more of a 1 cour.

Doesn't look like something I'd watch so I'll probably wait for some reviews before I try it out. If its anything like(in terms of quality) No Game, No Life though, sign me up.

It's SO SLOW that I fell asleep :O I'd rather stare at the wall all day while being electrocuted then watch this again and the people in it are ret@rded too, "I'm so depressed so I"mma go kill myself, life is unfair, hard and I'm no good with people and a loner, boo hoo hoo (sniff)

Isuca-
Real tsundere's have been on the decline recently so this is good :)
Hope the fights and ecchi are good too ;)

Surprising so to say, I really think this manga will never have an adaptation although I really hope it will got one.. The manga is generic which is my favourite.. It have an overused premise, but it's better and a lot more interesting than many ecchi manga/anime that I have read and watched before with the exception of few.. So, I will be looking forward to it..
I cannot bring myself to rate anime that I have completed below 5. Well, it just because I have use up my precious time to watch it. so, the worse you will get from me is 5 (changes may apply)

Instead of this garbage, they should spend their time rebooting classics from 80s and 90s, or animating masterpiece manga like Great Teacher Onizuka and Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou.

I'm just going to ignore your comment about garbage and talk about classics from the 80s or 90s. Ping Pong, which is currently airing this season, is actually not doing as bad as I expected it to do. It might actually sell something like 3k. That is A LOT considering the anime's art style I feel.

Anyway, why I mentioned this was, maybe, if Ping Pong is not a complete failure, maybe, just maybe studios and publishers will be more inclined to animating older manga?

I don't like Mushishi. It's really boring and all the episodic characters look the same. However, this sounds really bad. I say this is worse than Mushishi.

There's the new upcoming Legend of the Galactic Heroes anime to look forward to at least! And not all modern anime are garbage, watch Aku no Hana or something, that's the antithesis of modern anime.

Just because there's an Ecchi tag for the manga doesn't mean the same will apply to the anime. Look at Soul Eater. That only applies sometimes though.

Also, I'm not a big fan of Ecchi myself, but I find some shows (esp. ones from this season like Mangaka-san to Assistant-san and No Game No Life) to be watchable. I'd still give it a chance, maybe the first 1-2 episodes before judging it.

YESSS!

I have been reading this manga for a couple years now. I was hoping that one day it would get animated but it's popularity is so low I didn't think it would. It hardly ever gets fan subbed it's 3-5 months between chapters, sometimes more.

I'm calling it now, Sakuya is going to voiced by Rie Kugimiya. The art style is so close to the other characters that she plays.... also dat flat chest tsundere

Kugimiya Rie is a good seiyuu, but after Astarotte, Shana, Louise, Nagi, Aria and Taiga, her voicing yet another pettanko-loli-tsundere character seems a bit too much.

Back on topic, I like the manga's art, especially those of the mystical creatures and of the battles. The comedic parts made me smile a few times as well. Until further news are released, I'll keep it on a "Maybe" status

Have you not seen "Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to" that currently airing? The character Sena Kuroi is a flat chet tsundere loli voiced by Rie Kugimiya. She will never break out of that typecast.

Count me out for this one. Just skimmed several chapters of manga and thought it was very lame. It's basically Noragami with standard LN conventions, and typical LN characters. Bland MC who's nice and just really nice to girls no matter what, a painfully obnoxious tsundere chick, and a big breasted girl who happens to be her rival. Both are very possessive towards the MC and secretly having the urge to sleep with him. But unlike Noragami that actually cares about world building and character development, this one spends literally dozens of chapters doing silly nonsensical things that you've seen over and again on LN adaptations; fanservice galore, harem antics, and obnoxious one-sided abuses from the main chick to the MC (which at this point should be outlawed in entire Japan). The plot only kicks in when the writer realizes that he/she needs something meaningful to happen before the epilogue rolls.

Laaaaammmeeeee......!

I'm surprised myself. Didn't think it was popular enough to merit an anime but I guess Japan proved me wrong. Objectively speaking the source material isn't the best but I'll watch to see how it's executed.

And stuff do actually happen in Mushishi, just in more serene and atmospheric manner. Sure it's not for everyone, but the way you casually dismiss it for being "slow" and "boring" without even trying to elaborate much on it totally shows your lack of understanding of Iyashikei type show.

If it helps you, i have a girlfriend IRL (and she happens to be my elder cousin). Being jealous towards cartoon characters have nothing to do with my points on previous posts. I just felt a pity that a series with well-constructed premise and concept like this (hence my comparison to Noragami), ended up being a complete crap for focusing more on stupidity and banalities than on the story itself.

but eh~ not like i should expect logical replies from someone like you.

Mushishi is slow and I find it boring, if you like it it's cool but it's overrated and people act like it's a god like anime, has no flaws and if you don't like it you're simple minded and an action junky.

:O Incest? whatever, I'm not even gonna go into that topic.

Maybe the characters are strong enough to beat the creatures and have their lives in order (except 1 or 2 things) and are enjoying their lives while they fight.

Chapter 5 - did you miss what it lead up to?
Chapter 8 - oh, maybe you missed him manning up a bit and what it lead up to again huh?
