Saturday's Rejet Fes.2016 ONLY ONE event announced that the game developer's Marginal#4 ("Marginal Number Four") franchise will get an anime adaptation. An announcement video also revealed information on new products in the franchise.

Marginal#4 was first introduced as a drama CD in 2013 before Rejet released a PlayStation Vita idol production game in 2014. The franchise's concept is "idols whose kiss will reach the ends of galaxy." The title group Marginal#4 is composed of four members. There are also two other groups in the franchise, Lagrange Point and Unicorn Jr.

Marginal#4
R Nomura: Yuto Suzuki (Diamond no Ace)
Atom Kirihara: Toshiki Masuda (Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo)
Rui Aiba: Naozumi Takahashi (Harukanaru Toki no Naka de)
L Nomura: KENN (Kyoukai no Kanata)

Lagrange Point
Shy Makishima: Toshiyuki Toyonaga (Durarara!!)
Kira Himuro: Genki Okawa (Yu☆Gi☆Oh! Zexal Second)

Unicorn Jr.
Tsubasa Shindou: Shouta Aoi (Shounen Hollywood)
Alto Takimaru: Chiharu Sawashiro

Been following the CDs since forever! Just for the music though, so I have no idea who people are and what they're like.

I love Lagrange the most because Toshi's singing is phenomenal! Marginal itself is an okay unit but only KENN stands out. Unicorn JR has Shoutan so they pretty much have a top notch singer in each unit, which is great.

Already heard the news like, 10 hours ago, when it got posted on Twitter. :D

Nevertheless, super excited for this!

If this only happened earlier... (;´∀`) Since dialover makes the most profit, investing in it instead until now was probably the better choice and adapting both was probably impossible considering their 15 minutes adaptions, but a better timing could have created an advantage for the success of this series. Anyway, I wonder if LagPo and such will also make an appearance or if they'll only show maji4.

Why watch another one of these aimless glossy pretty boy shows when you can S E K K O B O Y S instead?
Couldn't care less about this type of anime.
probably on the same level as magic high LNs where a guy walks in on a naked girl and gets to duel her.

Out of all of rejet titles they chose this... lol.
I would've like a Beyond the future, Ken ga Kimi or Scared rider xechs anime... Oh well I hope its atleast decent, I guess this means I get to hear more of Okawa Genki as I really liked his performance in Atelier Sophie.

I'd love to see Ken ga Kimi get an anime! I'm sure one of those titles you've posted will get an anime one day.

Since the CD's are selling well, I think it's only a matter of time unless the publisher says no.

I thought at first the characters on the cover were from Diabolik Lovers and almost chocked
I'm done with cliche inverse harems
Musical animes don't interest me that much but I might give it a try since it's not reasonable to judge things from the cover!

Me too. Seems like it's actually a more fitting name for something like this. Would be nice if crap like that being released meant less fujoshi pandering in actual shows. Haha, yeah sure. Just look at that thing that calls itself a sequel to Utawarerumono.

What fujoshi pandering? You mean fujoshi pandering in shows like Utapri and Prince of Stride? Because they were originally Shoujo in the first place. And Kuroshitsuji is an exception because it's written by a BL author.

It's a show targeted towards males. There is nothing for girls in there unless you think the sight of two guys = fujoshi fanservice.

I miss Starmyu. That was a good anime but I doubt this can fill the void but you never know...

I definitely agree with that comparison but just like those shows this won't get the spotlight compared to something like Asterix. This being a hidden gem is very low.
All credit goes to Sacred.

I was referring to the fantasy Anime you're talking about.

"Itsuwari no Kamen" Or something. That show is not for females nor has fujoshi bait.

This one is obviously for girls. Anything with idols is aimed for the opposite gender audience.

People would have written doujins or raved about it online if something of the sort did happen. I am very into my own fandom lmao

I know exactly what shows have "BL subtext" and what don't.
