Hmm... Staff wise, I would say it looks pretty okay for now on my end... Then again the Director... I'd say I enjoyed Hundred (I mean guilty pleasure, it was pretty generic and it was just the source anyways, so its not his own fault) and to some extent Akame ga Kill (I did enjoyed it a lot even if it was bad, but there were few things I didn't really liked, they were pretty minor but still).

Hmm... I guess not so bad? I mean I'll see how this goes from there around. We'll see. But staff wise it looks pretty alright.

Set in the same school as Amagami SS? Well, that's me in then, especially if they handle this series in a similar fashion with the omnibus format.

I still need to watch Amagami! I heard it was pretty good, but that's a visual novel adaptation so I find it interesting that this an original anime. This is like a spiritual successor of sorts. Is the visual novel author(s) involved at all?

The director seems fine but what the hell is with the studio choice. Nothing but garbage from both of them. The best series either of them ever made seems to be Wagamama short... What happened to AIC?

So a spin-off of Amagami SS? I'm in.


They better not screw the childhood friend over because that's one of the aspects that I found really annoying in Amagami. I don't know what it is about Japan and Childhood friends but it's clear to me that both words don't fit that well.

Wat? Every potential love interest gets a happy ending in Amagami.

Hell yes, I'm tired of constantly losing ships. With this, I can have a season where not one ship blows up!

It does to some extent. Studios often have "the usual staff" and director is not enough to completely overwrite it. Not to mention the animation itself. Lance'n'Masquest or whatever that piece of shit was called... yeah, sounds great.

Not sure what you're blathering about as Studio Gokumi has been involved in plenty of fine anime. Yuuki yuna, Kirino mosaic, Severing crime edge were all fine shows and most importantly looked great.

Interesting! I wonder if they'll have some callbacks to Amagami.

AIC is now in the same situation as Gonzo was in 2009-2010. Due to a bad management they almost got bankrupt and lost most of the staff, so, despite studio being alive, we won't see any big projects from them for a couple of years at least.

Yeah, it looks like the only thing AIC has done for a couple of years now is a new OVA season of Tenchi Muyou they are doing right now. :|

Just because they gave a bad show it doesn't really mean much anyways imo. As the previous one said, Gokumi has made a lot of nice stuff as well. I just don't see there much at least for me though.

Well this is exciting 😊

I wonder how far apart the two series will be from each other and if they're planning on an omnibus format for this also.

Beautiful designs like always, but dunno, Amagami wasn't that great really. I'll probably check it out anyway.

I wish Azusa sung op&ed for this series too :(

In my opinion it would be better to tell a coherent story, than to continue to exploit this idea as it was in Photobeno.

Anyone can see that the bottom left one is the best one.
