| The Show hasn't even started and I'm already rooting for Julis -.- |
| Liking strong MC, good, ima add it to my list. |
 |
| >LN adaptation >A1-Pictures no thanks ;) |
 |
| Read the first volume sometime ago and it was pretty bad. |
| Lol I remember reading the translated manga... cookie-cutter OP main with the prominent harem members, as per usual. I'll still watch it though... sadly. :S |
| Yey, another mindless ecchi harem shounen LN that gets an adaptation! I hope it'll be just as good as the fantastic masterpieces Sword Art Online and Absolute Duo! |
 Nico- said: Conversations with people pinging/quoting me to argue about some old post I wrote years ago will not be entertained@Comic_Sans oh no y arnt ppl dieing i need more ppl dieing rly gud plot avansement jus liek tokyo ghoul if erbudy dies amirite |
| Sounds like the same old, same old in terms of LN here, but at least this one is actually by a mildly competent studio for once rather than one using the show as some random filler between other shows (ie: 8-bit). Meh, I'll watch it. |
| Guy does something and a girl gets angry! Then they do things together because HAREM and PLOT Wow, this sounds original. |
 |
| The LN isn't too bad but A1 and director.. |
| not liking the vibe from the artwork but if ppl will hate on it, then it makes me want to see it even more |
| 俺の命を百合に。 Currently translating Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke o - Atelier no Koibito-tachi -- when bored. Above visual novel is 22.22% translated with progress uploaded to youtube; if you're into yuri VNs, check out my channel.  |
| Will give it a try, getting sick of this over used plot idea. |
 |
| Star Wars Festival? Will there be Stormtroopers and lightsaber duels? Looks all kinds of generic, no thanks. |
| A-1 with it's harem anime adaptation strike again, nah I'll pass |
 |
| The anime looks great. Julis looks so attractive, and action/echii is always is entertaining to watch. Maerow said: Again one of those stupid ecchi battle LN ? . Much better than non-battle non-echii romance or slice of life anime blexx said: The LN isn't too bad but A1 and director.. Nanatsu no Taizai was made by A1 and it is one of the top anime in last season |

| I see 'Harem' and want to ignore it. Forever. But then I looked at the cover and realised her breasts are much smaller than her head (or all the writing is obscuring them REALLY well). Possibility. A1 helps this decision (Shigatsu). |
Imperial_Thunder said: Star Wars Festival? Will there be Stormtroopers and lightsaber duels? Might give it a try, but this doesn't seem like something I would like. |
 |
| It seems interesting i will try it :) |
 |
| Now where have I seen this plot before... |
| Tutturu ~ |
LastChapter said: that's a good thing though.>A-1 Oboi. |
 |
| No no no for me, it's the same old LN fare that needs to change, we need more variety in LN adaptations. |
 |
| i may defend rakudai but not this... this shit is boring, but since it's A-1 i'll watch this yes the MC is Op but its pretty boring even in the future volume... |
 |

| Masterpiece potential. |
 |
| I was planning on reading this at some point but never got around to it. Guess I could give it the Absolute Duo treatment and try watching it first instead then and see if it's worth it |
  |
| I'm usually not keen on these tiresome ecchi harem LNs, however... announcement said: Sold. Going to check out an episode or a half in hopes of a Star Wars reference and some water scenery porn. It's as if my anime standards have taken a plummet, assuming I had any prior."city on water" "star wars festival" |
 |
| >A-1 >Mahouka director >Generic ecchi harem LN FUCKING MASTERPIECE IN THE MAKING. |
| Yeah this looks like dogshit, ill avoid like the plague |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Wow another harem/ecchi taking place at a academy. Original plot and content! 10/10 easily yo |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Oh isn't this like that uh..that ecchi battle harem show...I mean like every other ecchi battle harem show lol. But I bet I'll see you guys in the anime thread this coming Fall. Yeah I'll be there too...ugh why can't I stay away from red flags -__- |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| ill watch cause i have nothing netter to do with my life... |
| Sliced bread has nothing on this shit. thepath said: The anime looks great. Julis looks so attractive, and action/echii is always is entertaining to watch. There's no PV or anything to judge how it looks ;_; thepath said: ayy dae h8 moe shat? DxMuch better than non-battle non-echii romance or slice of life anime |
 |
| Damn son, A-1 Pictures coming in stronk with another masterpiece. |
| Really skeptical about this will be good. Since, you know, the director is the one who made Mahouka. Still going to watch it though. I am not hoping for a masterpiece, at least give me something entertaining. |
| I like anime. |
| Heh, I always knew this might get an anime adaptation someday. Definitely going to be a 1 cour most likely. |
|
| LOL I just read all the available chapters last week XD It's okay, if they do 1 ep = half volume, it'll turn out well. |
 |
| when DxD announced MALs hyped when something similar announced you guys boo......... i'll give it a try. |
 |

I'm sure the episodes discussion thread will be a fun read just like how SAO and Mahouka was. xD |
| I think its fair to say at this juncture A-1 is the most polarizing company in the industry. I would just like some indication that they care at all about anything the adapt and aren't just choosing titles based on how popular they are and how many Blu-Rays they think they can sell cause frankly it doesn't look like they do much. Also their love of Gary Stuff MCs and hacknyed storytelling and character development is noted . When do they announce Matsuoka and Amamiya as the leads anyway? Will LiSA sing the theme song or Garnedilia Choices... Choices... |
PeacingOutApr 3, 2015 7:29 PM
| I guess it's focused in battle, so I hope that A-1 provide a consistent animation for this, at least for the battles. |
Kaioshin_Sama said: I'm not sure if I should read this as "A-1 only wants money! they don't even care about what they make" or "poor A-1 needs money so badly they don't even get to enjoy themselves".I think its fair to say at this juncture A-1 is the most polarizing company in the industry.

| Try 1 volume long ago. Pure shit |
| Premise seems interesting, and director is same as Mahouka. Definitely a must-watch. |
