I wonder what's wrong with these studios in Japan in the recent years !! leaving all those great unfinished and popular series and adapting a stupid stories such as this one in which a Man Turned Into a Pig !!! now someone will start writing a Manga or LN in which a man turned into a donkey and wait for some studio to pick it .. R.I.P Anime Industry .

What's with Kusunoki Tomori and her voicing characters who are into dogs and pigs???

Though as ever LN industry supplying the garbages it is known for.

Ya ready for some Kirito x Makima action???

I hope this series ends with the girl eating some eggs and bacon, with no pig in sight :)

I agree. For whom they do such works. Mystery.

the synopsis does seem intriguing and more matsuoka is a W for me.

Matsuoka and Tomoriru reprise their role from light novel narration. Great acting from both of them

LOL, Inosuke literally became a pig in this one.

Will this show be a harem show?

These premises just keep getting more absurd and I love it lol
