There are only a select few anime adaptations that are good reverse harem. Right now, the names escape me. Thanks a lot DEEN [cough cough cough].

ok, so I looked at the summaries and stuff and I wanna ask....how are they gonna animate this? Surely they're not gonna concentrate on one route alone? But how else would they do it?

Well, every multi-route visual novel adaptation has to answer that question to some degree. Unless the routes are all mutually exclusive (i.e. they're all completely separate stories in separate places with no character crossover save the protagonist) it'll probably go one of two ways most of them do: 1) follow the most popular route as the "main" route and incorporate stories for the other routes along the way or 2) make up something anime original, to a degree.

If there's some special quirk in the storytelling in this visual novel I suppose that could complicate things. Otherwise, business as usual.


In this case...

I saw "Amnesia" in the title before "otome game" so that's what I thought they were adapting at first... lol

The preview for the anime came out:

It seems to be leaning slightly towards Ikki, but there is no way to tell until the actual anime comes out. I hope it's Shin, or at least not Toma

I have always found the reactions to this kind of series to be very interesting and informative. When a series with this exact kind of setting is targeted toward males (as people in the Western fandom vulgarly call it, when a "harem" game gets adapted into anime) the topic gets full of replies like "This looks generic as hell", "only losers would watch this", "creativity and originality in anime is dead", "another generic harem show", etc. yet when the exact same premise is presented with the genders switched the topics discussing these kind of series are showered with compliments and in cases like this one, even with screaming fans celebrating its release, with virtually no backlash at all.

It would be very revealing if we created another topic with the very same plot description as this one, changing only the sex of the characters and the topic title (change "otome game" to "bishoujo game" or "harem game") and see if the topic still gets showered with the same compliments and enthusiasm...

That's a good point, but the difference may lie in that there are 10 times as many harem shows as there are reverse harem shows. Reverse harems are still a pretty new thing, and so can be taken as a refreshing contrast to all of the harem antics we girls have to see in many other shows whether or not they broadcast it as a harem or just throw in a couple of girls fawning over the MC because he is the MC.

I'm sure that as more of these get done they will start to get a bad rep. Especially if they keep being down badly which has been the case so far.

Did you see the list of anime this winter? 90% of them harem or all-female cast. Of course, people (especially the girls) will be happy to have this since there are only 4 series which is are targeted towards women
