They experience the ups and downs of high school life before a certain incident leads them to the truth of this world.


Weird. Welp, it's fantasy so I'll pick it up

Seems fine I guess but the fantasy genre is somewhat getting boring for me.

NO FUCKING WAY. KAMI-SAMA!

Kyoto Animation's primary director (Tatsuya Ishihara) is on this, so I have high hopes now.

If this is any better than the gutter-tier Amagi Brilliant Park, I'll pop the champagne. It's KyoAni so I HAVE to watch at least three episodes, but I'm expecting torture :/

If it's actually good I'll probably go comatose with surprise.

Going to be expecting some anime original stuff as there's not too much to adapt. Hope to see a PV soon.

I don't expect much from this based on what I've heard but it should be fairly entertaining.

I hope.

And thus KyoAni succumbs to the cancer that is battle academy harem LN adaptations. Great.
This will only encourage more to be made, so expect a lot more of these later in 2016.

Honestly, I avoid LN adaptations for good reason nowadays but I'll give this the three episode rule. I still have to slowly finish Gakusen and Rakudai...sighs. The title of this is interesting and the premise actually reminds me of Charlotte plus fantasy. Except this is a LN thing so it'll be completely different. KyoAni, why you do this? Japan why can't you produce less generic shit. (it probably isn't generic but harem lns in schools are too common these days.)

Making fun of a light novel while also having one of Monster's great characters in your signature. How the fuck not to love such a thing?

KyoAni joining the cancer known as the "fantasy" high school light novel (no Kyoukai no Kanata doesn't count).

Well, there isn't too much source for it so maybe they'll do something more with it...

IKR

truth is I've skipped every anime with this premisse, so I'm gonna give it a try because I really like kyoani, and the cast. But yeah the only anime by kyoani I dropped was haruhi suzumiya soooo...

Lets just wait and see.

I must admit that the promo art doesn't look much like KyoAni at all, it looks kind of generic. But I trust KyoAni and hope this will be good. Tbh,i don't think it will be quite a "generic battle school harem" I think it will be similar to Kyoukai no Kanata or maybe even Haruhi (characters have supernatural stuff going on but its told through a SoL kind of aspect)

Huh, Thread Starter didn't mention SCREEN MODE performing the OP song? Too bad, cause this band sounded pretty badass in both Kuroko and Yatterman and might be the only reason this show's worth giving a try.

Are you kidding?

On the promotional artwork designed explicitly with the deliberate impression of representing the show to potential consumers, the girls are front and center, while the main character is kinda-sorta able to be seen way in the back. Almost like they're saying "PLEASE DON'T NOTICE HIM".

It's clear what this story is going to be about.

WUT

> sees the series description that sounds even more generic chuuni than kyoukai no kanata was.

Yep, passing this one. Teens will eat it up tho.


It seems kyoani only does two types of projects - moe SOL or chuuni edgy moe.
