I always thought this series sounded interesting, but never really looked into it further after adding it to my long list. Will watch the anime.

More and more project on BT getting anime nowday. On topic the series isn't really that great from what I read so far. I give it 7 at most.

Anyway I think Gakusen Toshi Asterisk will be next to get adaptation.

What about Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry? That sounds like a lovely 2/10 and I am suprised it hasn't been adapted yet considering its "qualty".

Ah i've read the first volume, and already dropped it. Can't see any reason of why i would watch this

God if they could only adapt school romcom LNs, can't they just bring one like Psycome ? At least that one is interesting

Would you believe if I say it get better? Then again nearly every LN is 2/10 for you. I don't know why it isn't 1 though.

Because Pupa and Urda are still worse. Mahouka may get a 1/10, though.
But out of interest: When does Blade Dance get better?

And I like quite a few LN, just not this kind.

Ironically, that part wont appear on the anime for sure. Blade Dance getting better happen around volume 5 or 6. But only a small improvement.

If they need to adapt cliched LN that badly, then at least go for something decent like Index. Give us more of that rather than the garbage that is, well, the kind of novels this very thread is dedicated to.

And I am still waiting for the day when a nice historical/fantasy LN for female viewers gets made into an anime. Sigh, Saiunkoku Monogatari...

OT, this anime isn't for me so I won't watch it. Still, nice to see a white haired female as the main harem girl.

But if the adaptation hasn't even been made yet how can it fall into any category other than "green-lit"?

If instead you mean light novels themselves then you'd be spot on.

Still sad to see people like Nidhoeggr judging a series before it airs. They really irritate me. There are others but you can Nidhoeggr is the worst, you can guarantee this ignorant little fella will be in every LN adaptation thread spouting nonsense.

Had my eye on reading this for a while so I may as well wait for the anime now.

Am I the only guy that is glad that any Light Novel get any adaptation, no matter how terrible it is?

I'm just happy to see it animated and voiced, and of course hopefully entertaining OP and ED song.

Same crap as always gets animated from the light novel... it's Infinite Stratos version 1,000,000, everyone. Enjoy all the fan-service, "pervert!" shouts, annoying MC, and wanna-be-mecha action. I won't be around, my brain cells were destroyed enough already by this constant garbage. Only the title of the series, names of the characters and the length of their hair is different.

you can judge 98/100 anime by synopsis, cover and genres alone. anime rarely ever conceals its target audience. that's the kind of medium it is

if they want to market their show to creepy otaku, the synopsis/cover will inform you of that
