I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Saw it on ANN earlier it reminds me of a male version of Love Live |
הלב שלי כבר מת |
| It looks like Free 2.0 Good. |
 |
| i thought High School Musical is getting anime adaptation but i misread it. |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| FYI: ANN lists the character voiced by Suwabe-san as Takashi, but it's wrong. It should be Itsuki because typing out Takashi won't come up with the kanji they use, which means "Tree", but Itsuki will. |

| Male idol anime tend to be hit or miss but hopefully this will be fun at least. |
| I almost misread title at first as well tbh |
 |
| From the Studio and Director that brought us masterpieces such as Seikoku no Dragonar and some 3 minutes Akame ga Kill specials, comes another groundbreaking project. At least the director already has some experience in pandering to fujoshi with Kuroko no Basket. Prepare for low budget and low-brow "entertainment" |
 |
| a male idol anime? i hope it will be like utapri :> |
 |
| Yay, more bishounen for me. Thank God. |
 |
| Original anime & musical high school boys, all my yes! Too excited for a PV. ACTORS anime when? Sylph will be serializing the manga version, target audience confirmed even more. This beauty here voiced by Suwabe, I know he is my favorite already ♥ |

| Oh my god is this actually happening BISHOUNEN PARADISE |
| Free had Rin and Sousuke, which made the anime awesome for me as a guy. This anime doesnt look like will have characters like them. This anime looks like that magical anime with all guys thats airing right now. Skipped. |
| I see Kaneki. |
 |
| I'm gonna try this. |
 |
| Sounds cool and the characters look cute <3 |
 |
Zeta986 said: i thought High School Musical is getting anime adaptation but i misread it. Me too. Dissapointed. |
 |
| I misread as well lol Gonna pass on this... |
 |
| oh GOD, thank you |
| Oh yes please. Please let it be better than Shounen Hollywood, PLEASE. Also what's with that name, I will never be able to look at it without thinking of HSM |
 |
| Looks very Meh to me I'm sure Fujoshis are gonna love it though. |
 |
| The cover reminds me of Kiniro no Cords: Blue Sky a little. Hopefully, this one will concentrate more on music than harem/romance. |
 |

 |
| I think everyone misread the title lol. Anyways, I'm excited! This looks nice. |
| well at least the character designs look nice. might try it out. |
| Sounds like a combination of Free and utapri. But this is not for me. Pass. |
Vindstot said: The cover reminds me of Kiniro no Cords: Blue Sky a little. Hopefully, this one will concentrate more on music than harem/romance. well, there's no female character so i guess it's not a reverse harem. i just hope it won't be another shounen hollywood.. |
|
| The cast isn't full of girls, the theme isn't "idol" and despite taking part, that seiyuu isn't voicing any character I may come to like and it's even a TV anime! Is this reality!? Looks like I have something to look forward to in autumn~ Shadow-Chan said: ACTORS anime when? I was just asking myself this today... again. |

| Not interested, but the art looks nice. The uniforms remind me of Mahouka though. Glad I'm not the only one who thought of HSM getting an anime lol |
| Character designs are unoriginal. Looks like a ripoff of some existing characters. That title though...(lol HSM) well at least there's music. They can't milk Utapri forever. Doesn't seem like there's a female lead either, so not a reverse harem. :D Also Natsuki Hanae is in it, looking forward to that. |

| This looks like the kind of thing I would hate, but will try anyway because idols. |
| "I'm gonna make you bleed like me!" Characterization Society Discord |
| more pretty 2D boys, yasss. will be watching. |
“Victor can’t be satisfied by anyone but me.”  |
| < Reads title < Heavy breathing < Sees it's all dudes < Cries One day there will be an anime similar to the last ep of Kiniro Mosaic. Today is not that day :( |
 |
| welp doesn't get much worse than this does it? Yvese said: please make this happenOne day there will be an anime similar to the last ep of Kiniro Mosaic. Today is not that day :( |

The bishounen designs are too girly. For a moment, I thought the character in the middle was a girl. Well, I think it'll be better than Shounen Hollywood since I'm expecting some musical competitions. |
|
| High School Star Musical = High School Musical with all of the characters being boys. The art looks good, so I'll give this a try. |
| Hm looks interesting. Will watch for the seiyuu cast :D Would like to see a PV soon. |
| What the heck this isn't High School Musical. |
 |
