Pretty ordinary Staff but good-looking Cast though.

Sure, why not?

Puzzle game to gaining fond of climbing is some change though, I must say lol.

Honest question: how do you decide what show to link each VA to when posting this kind of news?

"Konomi Kasahara: Sumire Uesaka (Musaigen no Phantom World)"

Why would you link this VA with Musaigen no Phantom World when they've done other shows that are much more popular? (e.g. Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!, Overlord)

Maybe it is about the most recent or the one that comes to mind quickly.

Japanese obsession with commercial female objectification is by no means a new thing. Starts to resemble gaming addiction - change the skins, add new voice lines and it sells well within the... circles of questionable moral integrity.

They use the same dumb system as ANN: choose the show that was licensed in the US recently (even if it is not that popular). Same with the staff. It is facepalm worthy when they use for Director/Scriptwriter some recently licensed show which is either bad or of totally different genre and some people think the staff is not fitting just because of this.

Judging by the tags, it will be quite similar to Kandagawa Jet Girls, but I hope it won't be as atrocious.

I'm honestly frustrated that Japanese animation studios are willing to make new anime with unique concepts that...I don't care for.
Instead of an adaptation about girls...climbing, of all things, I'd rather get adaptations of great manhwa like Bastard, Sweet Home, proper adaptations of Spirit Circle, Berserk. These are all source materials that not only have unique stories, but also have interesting premises.
Or if Japanese animation studios HAVE to adapt a source material about cute girls, can it at least have a unique premise? Can we at least get an adaptation of Renai Harem Game?
Don't get me wrong: I like waifus. I am a filthy weeb just like the rest of you...but I'm really sick of anime where the only selling point are the cute girls, and a dumb gimmick for a premise.

It's actually more reasonable than you'd think. Climbing is all about problem solving and each route is like a fresh puzzle. Seems like the author knows their climbing which can only be a good thing for the series.

Oh, is that so? I'm a complete novice when it comes to climbing so I have no clue.

But you've gotten me a little curious in this, thanks!

No matter if it pleases you or not, that's what you get, after your waifuist kind opened the floodgates of moebait. It initially started innocently enough with titles like Azumanga Daioh; but now it is to the point 60% of seasonals are basically made of non ecchi fetish shows. You enabled it, now deal with it. Open you mouth and swallow another quarter pounder of saccharose fluff made around alibi premises.

We're not the ones causing any of this; because we're not the market. Japan is. Most of us illegally stream these anime; not buy any of the DVDs and whatnot. Nobody in the anime industry in Japan is reading our posts and comments on MAL: because again, we're not the market, and they don't have the time.

Suuure. That's a convenient excuse you may wash your hands with. And yet, some of the deplorable trends of Japan still have enjoyed wide success under our latitudes. It doesn't help things, you can't deny it. The West as a whole seem to be perfectly fine with the current state of matter. So, here you are. You get the crapadoo you so longed for. More fetish shows made under pseudo educative intent.

Also, your statement is a half truth. To an extent, the Western audience matters in the eyes of producers. Why Fairy Tail kept going for so long? This garbage was mostly popular in the West. Also, weren't some titles like Space Dandy made for our demographics in mind?

As a climber I'm excited for the first climbing anime. However, I would have preferred an adaptation of Noboru Kotera-san (https://myanimelist.net/manga/92859/Noboru_Kotera-san?q=noboru) which is a more serious (less fan service) look at the world of bouldering.

From the synopsis and the cover image I just really get a combination of Yuru Camp, Dumbell Nan Kilo Moteru!? and Keijo!!!!!!!! vibes, just without it's ecchiness. I feel it's going to be something in between those 3. I hope I'm right and if I am and it's going to be made good and not fucked up, then it will for sure be just my thing and one anime I would never forget.

Note: I know nothing og source material or anything, only this synopsis and cover image.
