The manga is a fun read, but I honestly can't see them getting the art style right in the anime. Still, if they do manage to adapt it faithfully without too much censorship and some good voice acting, the anime could be even more hilarious than the manga.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Holy shit.

Just imagine, Madhouse doing the animation and Tetsuro Araki directing the series a la HsotD. That would be fucking amazing. Can't wait for this over the top "action" to be aired.

Just curious, why did the author stopped publishing his previous work?

It was discontinued, the story was probably not appealing to Japanese people.

Heh, when I first read Kangoku Gakuen, I could hardly believe it's the same author. Good for him for finding success in the world of manga, same way I feel for the Nisekoi author.

Too bad you can only be successful with generic harems or ecchi at times...
Double Arts and Me And The Devil Blues are so much superior in both stories and characters that it is really sad to see Japan ignoring them in favor of such tired ideas like this.
Then again, urasawa did Yawara before he made Monster, 20CB and Pluto. Hopefully both return to making good stories after their first real success.

If Madhouse adapt this then it should be fully uncensored. Otherwise don't even bother and rather settle for a few OVAs.
The manga's a fun read and clearly full of ecchi moments but that's part of its charm.

Once again, let Madhouse adapt this, let 'em go full uncensored, and create a seiyuu cast worthy of the show. Then we can talk.

Eh... Not really sure how it would work out. The artwork is a problem. Unless they use a lot of budget, they're gonna come off short of what the manga has done. The storytelling technique is good, I ugh this is still glorified pron.

I don't think that's even possible. Some manga are meant to be manga and I'm honestly sick of people crying for an anime adaptation of xyz manga instead of just reading and appreciating it.

Agreed, hence my first post here.

I agree, just start reading manga, guys.

Almost all manga-> Anime adaptations I have seen have been mediocre to terrible.

It's pretty funny though, and pretty unique compared to the typical ecchi. And there is some depth and character development in some of the characters, but it's clearly not the focus of the series. I think the series is great at what is trying to do, and that makes it a great manga imo.

I like the premise and was interested to watch until I saw the content. Looks like the only way I would even go near this show is if it has good seiyuu lineup.

Personally I think it's just over the top in your face ecchi ancompanied with very good art and some good character progression.
It's not really bad, but it's praise might be a bit exaggerated.

Well I don't feel like it's in your face. I like that it's a parody and doesn't take itself seriously. And I generally don't particularly like ecchi, but I find it rather well done in that manga, with a unique feel to it. And more importantly it's often really hilarious. The art is a big plus too. I think the praise matches it's quality, and I think that most people will like it, as long as they don't expect it to be something that it's not (eg: a romance series), I think people who dislike ecchi might enjoy it, for the characters, and comedy. To each his own I guess, no manga can please everyone.

This is great news to wake up to. The other day I was actually thinking about whether this would get an anime adaptation or not.

The art is amazing and the ecchi is way over the the top. I'm wondering if this series could even work as an anime or not.

Still, I'll keep my fingers crossed. This is one of the funniest series I've ever read and I hope the anime does the manga justice.

Like Monogatari then.
Oh shiet. How did I not see that.
But no, it's not comparable. The ecchi is too much for Monogatari and Monogatari has more dialogue I think.

You might wanna check your spidey senses again zoron.

I think the material is a bit too ecchi to give it a huge budget and a big budget is what it needs to replicate the art well enough so I don't have too high hopes for this. Maybe a few well done OVAs, but I'm not expecting much past that.

When a series like this gets animated, the level of censorship will determine whether it's a bust or success. Hopefully they don't go overboard but certain scenes will be censored heavily for sure. Might need to wait for BD's

Omfg! I didn't expect this?! Just like what everyone is saying I would prefer a ova, I think they would've to censor it if it's coming on tv. This series is the king of ecchi. lol

What next Minamoto-kun monogatari? lol

Damn I'm 50-50 right now about this, half excited as hell to see everybody and my man Jo animated, but then again sad that they will ruin such greatness if it goes into TV series, it's gonna be censored more then f'kin Pupa.

They should just settle for good OVA's and move on, anyway whatever they bring out, I'm watchin. :D

This makes me really happy. Although I see this being censored to hell and most likely an OVA series. Even if it is a TV series it will probably only be like 12 episodes and we will barely get any of the story. Oh well will still watch.
