| This will definitely be popular Never expected the character designs to be so different from the original manga. Still they look good. |
| PV looks so good, Erika looks beautiful and her hair colour looks beautiful too. Also great, Akari Kito is voicing her. |
 |
| I was somewhat interested by the synopsis on the manga page, but then I saw the Harem tag. My interest quickly waned. |
 "They escaped the weight of darkness, to forge a path into the marrow of the spirit. They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy, an emptiness that quells the null, a pool for the forgotten..." |
Xaeveax said: I was somewhat interested by the synopsis on the manga page, but then I saw the Harem tag. My interest quickly waned. I could talk for hours about how stupid the modern harem hate is, but hey, this manga is as much a harem as Go-Toubun. It's almost imperceptible. |
 |
| Didn't expected to receive an adaptation. And Kito Akari as Erika. Very nice. |
| I have this feeling that this will 100 to 0 quickly. I haven't read the manga yet but I have this feeling. |
  |
| The manga started out pretty interesting, but got ruined by the harem stuff after like 20-30 chapters... Let's see how far the anime will adapt. |
| Don't mind me, just passing by... |
| One of my favourite things about this announcement is that it occurred on the same day as Nagi and Erika's birthday. But overall, with how popular this manga is, I'm not really surprised that it received an adaptation. I'm really looking forward to it. |
| I was having hopes for this one, but the main girl got sidelined in exchange of adding more love interests. It's not getting anywhere. |
| This is amazing, liked the manga. Great anime design looks good and beautiful, great job. |
 |
| The original character design looks a tad nicer than the animated one, but despite that I'm looking forward to this. |
 |
| By the same author of Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches , that's great I am definitely going to watch this |
| The manga's kinda meh. The premise was interesting, but it kinda squandered its execution. I liked both Yamada-kun and Yankee-kun, but this one just hasn't worked for me. That being said, the PV looks good, I guess? The artwork is clean, but the character designs do seem a bit off. Nagi, in particular, looks a bit off. |
 |
| The manga has been really popular and reading it has been enjoyable so it's nice to see that this getting an anime. The character design looks nice but it looks so different from the manga, so seeing the Key Visual and PV kinda surprised me lol. |
| This series does nothing new but I guess it'd still be pretty entertaining to watch |
| Oh nice! I was sorta expecting this to eventually get an anime but it's great to see it so soon. |
  |
| more garbage harems to avoid |
 |
| Finally won an adaptation! It's already in the plans to watch. |
| Apaixonado por jogos e animes. |
| It being a series by the Yamada-kun author makes me mildly optimistic, but hearing that it's a harem series almost instantly puts me off. Nothing fundamentally against harems mind, but one with the premise this has sounds like it will be absolutely infuriating and completely idiotic. |
| So... Shin-Ei has finally decided to revive their SynergySP subsidiary after acquiring them in 2017. |
| Another marry-this-girl-or-else show? Not even slightly interested. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| I'm still reading the manga (don't know why), but i won't watch the anime. The only good thing was the art, which was ruined by the anime. The story is mediocre even for a harem |
 |
| Although not a fan of harem, I liked the author's previous works (with one labeled as harem too), so I've always been interested with this series. Seeing the comments here made my expectation low though. I will still going to keep an eye on it until it airs. |
