Masaomi Andou as the director, huh? Wonder if this will surpass his exceptional adaptation of White Album 2.

I was referring to the general sentiment of the MALers nowadays. And I am positive that is how a good number of them will response in the forums or through those preliminary reviews. You know, we cannot have world building/character introduction/setting up chemistries in today's world. There is no patience in viewers these days whatsoever.
That being said, ofc there are those who will enjoy it from the get go but the number will be few. Personally, I found the earlier chapters quite enjoyable.

I have been reading this manga since last month while waiting for the revelation of the full main cast and what appropriate timing that the cast has been revealed now that I've just recently finished reading the manga! It's now one of my favorites! <3
I've got no complaints with the seiyuu choices. While I was reading this manga, I have been imagining Zack would have the same voice as Naofumi (Kaito Ishikawa -> Shield Hero lol) while I imagined Charce would be voiced by Takahiro Sakurai. Nope, lol. As for the rest of the girls, I couldn't think of the most suitable voices for them, but never expected Saori Hayami would be voicing Yun-Hua. That's great!
I'm not really familiar with any of the people from the production staff. ^^' This is Studio Lerche and I liked some of their previous works such as Gakkougurashi!, Asobi Asobase, and Assassination Classroom. Hopefully they would bring justice to the anime adaptation of this manga most importantly because the story has concluded.
Tbh, me too! I'm excited for this show the most. If you're looking forward to see some romance sub-plots in this series...

Really looking forward to this!
Studio Lerche nor the Staff are particularly impressive sadly though. I hope they’ll be able to pull this off nevertheless and give us a treat with this adaption!
