For some reason, it's not Engrish!

Might watch.

Quite surprised about the proper English lol. Looks like A-1 did pour some decent budget into this. I think this will be one of my usual LN adaptations to watch in Fall.

I’ve never heard about this light novel before, but that PV looked pretty neat.

I don’t think the whole thing will be mind-blowing as far story and characters go (hard to think otherwise), but if the quality of the series is as good (or at least close to) as what I see on the PV, then I might be willing to give it a try. Who knows? it might turn out to be a fairly decent and entertaining harem/action/romance series. Anyway, the series still far away from being release (fall season), but I’ll definitely keep my eye on it for the time being.

P.S. Kudos to PV for making English sound like English. As weird as it may sound, that’s something you don’t see too often for this stuff.

Nice, they got someone to use English for the narration. Aside from nice animation as you would expect from A-1 PVs, the synopsis itself isn't really unique. Will probably try first episode just for kicks. Maybe it will be good...maybe it will not.

It makes me think of that guy who does the funny honest trailer voiceovers on youtube, and it feels like a parody.

This looks promising af. I will watch this in the fall.. I haven't read the LNs.. My only hope is that this protagonist is going to be a badass who isn't dense as Ichika Orimura ( Infinite stratos He's denser than a black hole)

Just cannot dig the art style. Cast look really buff different from slim look on LN illustration.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

Looks good but I'm afraid that the quality will go down after a few episodes just like most of A-1 shows. Let's hope that's not really the case for this one.

Well we can only hope that doesn't happen.........

I wish there were more new scenes in the PV though.

Apparently it was announced to be 22 eps by the director in a stage event or something, but yea, no way to know if this is true or not since there's no official source for it.
