This will be great if they won't overflow it with a ton of ecchi and the studio shouldn't as anime with borderline H levels of ecchi and most LN adaptations are not faring too well this year quality-wise. Keep the ecchi to Date A Live levels and it will turn out great.

This looks positively awful. Only in Light Novel adaptations do you consistently see premise as shamelessly preposterous and self masturbatory as this one.

I really don't mean to be rude but that art...
I really wish more harem anime would have actual art which is different but cute like Oniai,Henneko and Pet na Kanojo or Oregairu tbh.
The story doesn't sound exactly new either.
We'll wait for a PV but this is the first time in a while when I really am not expecting much at all.

P.S : Still waiting for an LN aimed at females to get animated. The last one was Saiunkoku Monogatari and I do see LNs for females ranking on the charts so what's stopping them? Sigh...

Already thought this series sounded like an interesting take on the harem genre and put the LN on my long list, so this is one anime that I will be trying for sure.

FYI, Rokujouma isn't some new light novel series on the block. There are 14 main volumes and 2 side story volumes published. It has longevity.

I don't mind generic as long as they are presented well but there has to be a limit to this stuff. I like harems in general but using the same type of cliches again and again..........this story is more like replacing chunnibuoys with actual ghosts, aliens,magical girls etc at least that's the impression i got.

I wouldn't say that it kills every possibility of being good. You still get good stuff like Oregairu, Pet na Kanojo, White Album 2...stuff like that.

i miss then you were the level headed and logical type that took the neutral route and backed up his claims, now all you do is bitch and moan with vague statements and only ever try to get into justification when your defending yourself

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

It's hard not getting frustrated after the countless repition of horrible shows we had in 2013.

Pet no Kanojo and Oregairu changed up a few things, so what? In the end, they still did the same as almost all of the other series we mentioned and criticized here.
And when we consider the Monogatari series we could say we have a fine franchise, but ultimately this one is also brought down by the premise of an harem - or rather being hung up on the tropes that come with it (think of Nise). Deconstruction, reconstruction, subversion, etc. - in the end it is still perceived as a harem as well and it really suffers from Araragi's antics when he acts like the typical protagonist.

And to be frank: After thousands of posts I don't give a fuck anymore. A lot of the people here are resistant to arguments anyway.
It's a shame the fandoms in Japan and the West are so similar in this case.

While I have found enjoyment in shows with pics that turn me off- NouCome, Outbreak Company- seeing a guy with that expression being smothered by Miss Boobs-A-Lot and loli ghost (+2 more girls) is usually a big fat NOPE.

I'm starting to think I'm the only person in the world who looked at that synopsis and genuinely thought to themself that it seemed an interesting and innovative concept (albeit built upon various cliches of course)...

Oh well, whatever.
