What else if it is not an anime?

Godly Animation, but dear god no. 1/10 Because I'm not into guys.
I am not into guys but I will still give it top score for how it gets the guy-moe right. I mean, let's face it, I am sure a lot of through-and-through heterosexual males find the animation appealing, if only they show a glamorous picture of what they could have been. Just like some straight girls who love to see cute girls in anime for their cuteness, I don't see why straight guys cannot love great looking guys in anime.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I'll give you that, maybe I misinterpreted myself. But this wouldn't be the kind of show for me if they made it into an anime. It screams fujoshi, like some person stated before.

Actually you may have already watched a lot of anime that scream fujoshi because fujoshi do not need explicit depiction of guys mixing around to grab the anime as one for their own. One example of anime that screams fujoshi is Macross Frontier. Another recent example is Zetsuen no Tempest. Fujoshi need only a little hint of male bonding to start their wild imagination. So an anime that is really full of guys having fun together in sports is as much for fujoshi as for straight guys and girls. The only real fujoshi stuff is anything that depicts hardcore BL, and that is very much a rare occurrence in anime world outside of doujin realm.

There are tons, there is like 8 other 30 sec Kyoani ones in the related anime section of this cm.

Yeah. But I never saw them before. Could it be that they've been added just now too?

Yes.

This. 'Nuff said.

If they're going to adapt this into an anime, I would prefer if this turns out to be like Kuroko No Basuke. I don't mind if it turns into a reverse harem either ONLY IF they would make the lead female into an interesting, strong-willed and a likeable character. (One example is Misaki Ayuzawa from Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama!)

I've seen guys saying "I'm so watching this, and I'm a dude." "I love this even though I'm male" etc etc.

I like the character designs.

It kind of annoys me though that people feel the need to vehemently display how completely straight they are. As if they will instantly be perceived as gay if they even give a slight hint at enjoying something with attractive male characters.

Admit it, you're just homophobia. Fujoshi =/= Gay. Fujoshi = Female with yaoi fetish.

This anime might be for fujoshi, but it might not have shounen ai-ish moments. Come on, you know that you're homophobia. Don't use fujoshi as an excuse.

An anime which I saw recently is a huge fujoshi bait, Makai Ouji - Devils and Realist. Despite the decent plot it has, it had to ruin it with the shounen ai undertone, when it wasn't needed. Oh and bromance =/= shounen ai.

I'm not going to say it can't happen, it's just a matter of will KyoAni want to spend money to hire a creative team to create an anime that there's no sure fire way they'll know they'll make money off of...especially considering the image of the commercial is trying to attract a small demographic in the anime industry.


Looking at this in hindsight. :|

Practically every female otaku watched it, including most girls I know.
