| First the English game, and now anime..... This sure is got really popular huh... I still remember the time when it just appeared on qooApp.. too bad I'm not interested at that time... •w• Idolish7 English Game... WHEN??! |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
| Looks like a waste of really good studios for what seems like another shitty sausage fest smartphone game adaptation |
 |
| This is the one with the hot blonde boy with the fedora, right? I would watch this, but if it ends up having a female protagonist, I won't. |

Seiya said: This is the one with the hot blonde boy with the fedora, right? I would watch this, but if it ends up having a female protagonist, I won't. if it follows the game, it will have a female protagonist because she's literally the director and owner of the agency. idk why you hating on having a female protagonist. also if the synopsis is also for the anime, then its 100% sure that it will have izumi as the female protagonist this opinion aside, its my favorite mobile game so im really happy it gets an anime adaption! like mentioned above, if it follows the game, theres gonna be lots of character development, which I look forward to. also since someone asked: its not an otome game. the only person who has openly romantic feelings for izumi is masumi. otherwise she just gets treated as the director or just simply as a friend. |

A female protagonist ruins that immersion, because she's in the way. |

Because I'm male, and I don't like females. Isn't there enough Anime with female characters already? I loved "Dream Festival," because there were no girls there. Why can't there be more Anime like that? |

I find that offensive. And no, I'm not trolling. I don't mind female characters in other things, but not in something centered around hot guys. Hot guys are supposed to be gay. |

A female protagonist ruins that immersion, because she's in the way. Maybe you should stik with yaoi game adaptations. Like Dramatical Murder or Togainu no chi. This is otome game adaptation so you are not the target audience. That depends. I don't watch or read anything with sex in it. Some BL adaptations tone that stuff down, but overall, only a very small amount of it gets turned into Anime. Also, I'm aware that I'm not the "Target Audience," but you need to realize that there "should" be more all-hot-boy stuff aimed towards guys, but none of it really is, because Japan is still very backwards when it comes to LGBT rights. |

| Wow, this is really exciting! I have Ensemble Stars and now A3! to look forward to. |

I like to be able to enjoy looking at girly Anime guys. |

| Ahhh I’m really excited for this!! I get to see my best boys Mukkun & Taichi animated. I really hope Izumi is in it because the story wouldn’t make sense without her. |
   |
| ＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡ I CAN FINALLY SEE MINAGI-SENSEI'S BUTAI IN ANIME VERSION AAAAAA AND IT'S PA WORKS X 3HZ TOO IM CRYING 😭😭😭😭 I really hope they'll stay true to the game storyline, and if the description on MAL is true then WE CAN SEE QUEEN IZUMI I'M------ 😭😭😭💕💕💕 yas for best heroine YAS!! Tbh kinda wondering how much they'll adapt... Also for people saying this is either gonna be reverse harem or fujobait, bah, don't worry. I dislike both of those and I love A3 to bits. Izumi's not your usual fem protag (if she's in the anime, WHICH I HOPE SHE WILL), and I don't think the mobage main and event story line has big fujo contents. It's just like any of your usual sports anime with big fujobase; the "BL" scenes can only be seen if you equip your "fujo glasses". Edit: I CANT WAIT TO INCLUDE TSUZURUN ON MY FAV LIST. MAL CMON AND MAKE HIM AVAILABLE ALREADYYYY!!!!! |

| @mutsukii that guy isn't the only one who dislikes female lead in games with all male cast, tho I also dislike a male protag with all female cast. I generally dislike "romances" and if there's any hint of it, my enjoyment will drop. I want everyone to act as professionally as possible and even if they are actually dating in private life, I want none of that to be shown because that's just not something I cater to. On topic, character art in that vid's ugly and designs aren't standing out to me at all so, as for now, I most likely won't pick it up. |
 I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes. Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that. It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers. Thought: How many people sparked H. Charlotta just for blue pot? |

On topic, character art in that vid's ugly and designs aren't standing out to me at all so, as for now, I most likely won't pick it up. there‘s a difference between disliking a female lead in an otherwise all male cast, because you think its due to professionalism and just because you want to have gay fantasies about anime guys. there will be drops of romance, especially from masumi since his first reasoning for joining the agency is due to him falling in love with izumi on first sight. HOWEVER he comes to genuinely love acting as acting and not just for izumi but for himself. if you dont like romance, then thats okay. youre not forced to like it or watch it. however whining (im talking about seiya, not you here) about there being a female lead because you want to have gay fantasies is just gross. |

Well, I never watched Free for the same reason. Instead, I bought a figure of Makoto to ogle at. Calm down. |

| SO SO PROUD OF A3!!!!!!! Ive been playing it ever since the game released and THEY'VE GONE SO FAR! When reading the story I kept thinking about how wonderful it would be if it was an anime!!! I haven't really read the comments because I'm expecting tons of guys hating on it (sorry if I'm wrong! I haven't looked for reals because I don't want to dampen my mood atm because I'm really happy!) BUT. A3 is a really really good game, the story was excellent so I'm expecting (hoping for) a very good adaptation! I mean it's about acting and plays! Honestly, it might be a little cheesy but it'll be so interesting watching them practice (especially since (some characters) acting are bad at the start so the voice actors have to act well to act like they're bad! (sorry if it doesn't make sense my mind probably isnt functioning properly now!) Anyways looking forward to Masumi and Itaru so much! And Hisoka, Homare, Banri and Azuma and tbh so many people I want to see moving! I really hope they do well! |
