Hum....This doesn't remind me of Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata, the concept isn't bad, art also seems good, plus KanaHana. We really need more light-hearted VNs adaptations.

Man this quite reminds me of Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata.Well I'll give it a try!

From the 45 minutes or so I played of the VN's trial, it was pretty much made to be an anime. It's structured exactly like one.

Have to say that this killed all my interest in playing more of it since it was supposed to be Romeo's big return to the VN industry. Apparently the anime is more important now? Whatever. I'll probably pass on the anime too since the whole appeal of the project is Romeo's writing.

For me too, only interested in this because of Romeo. I'll give it a try

A lot of not-so-great VNs. Hopefully this one is different.

Oh boy, many characters will suffer.

FTFY

+ 1000000

If I watch the anime, it will only for him. That guy's drama can be hilarious sometimes.

If this is anything near Shirobako it might be cool. Probably it won't, though :D

If Romeo writes all the script, then what is Takahiro doing here? Idea guy?

Btw, will watch for Romeo.

I wish they'd just focus on making an anime or a vn instead of both at the same time.
Or make two completely different works in parallel based on the same story concept.
This just makes me sad.

I'll still read it though since it's Romeo.

I guess I'll watch it.

Not a fan of VNs that aren't even released, much less translated, getting anime. It usually puts me off both the novel and the anime.

When companies front-load merchandising/ adaptation/ spin-off licensing like that it makes me think that they want to cash in as much as possible before people know it's nothing special.

What has translation gotta do with everything?

Nothing. The only thing it has to do with, is your inability to identify the operative point in my statement. "much less xyz" is a statement that is besides the point, supplemental to the primary point.

Which is that this is an adaptation done almost simulatenously with the source material release.

While untranslated VNs being adapted is mildly annoying, I'll deal with them, but announcements of adaptations of completely unreleased VNs are pretty much dealbreakers.

Doesn't interest me really.
