Art style's similar to DanganRonpa's. Yuri should be interesting, probably.

YURI is on ROLL.

2014 is the year of YURI I will remember that for the rest of my life.

Yuri? Not my cup of tea. And I don't even like the director's work, except Nanoha A's...

Another yuri shit - yaaay!!

"Tokaku Azuma is a recent transfer student who is also targeting Ichinose, but she gradually develops feelings for Ichinose." And we have the worst killer in history - thank you yuri!!

When it was first announced, it got my interest but now after seeing who's the director... it's hurt, he did a lot of b-a-d stuff, I will watch it but I won't expect for something good.

Read first chapters of the manga. It reminded me smth between Mirai Nikki and Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge. Plot reminds of second one why overall atmosphere of the first. But with clear yuri direction. I like it. And I'm on the side of people who like Kusakawa. The only of his works I didn't like much is Gen'ei but it's main problem was script not the direction.

I'm more interested in this than Sakura Trick cause it looks like it will have a bit more to it. I'm excited to watch it though, and glad to hear it's coming relatively soon.

Suwa is relatively new and I surely would not have guessed Kanemoto to be in the main role.

The synopsis surely looks yuri but I would really want to confirm it -- Anyone who has read the manga and can confirm how much yuri is in there?
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I read like some chapters of it and it has some yuri, but it doesn't have that much just a few. You can check what Yangbojian said to me. He said that"it has some comedy moments." Starting with chapter 2. I kinda starting to don't like it that it maybe started to get a little boring, but I think it may be like Canaan or some other shows like it actually has some yuri moments, but it will have comedy on there too. Kinda meh about it now that if the next chapter scans released, I may dropped it and removed the anime off my list but it depends on either it's going to be great for me. /:

Looks like it has the potential to be quite interesting. It would be nice to have a combination of yuri relationships and other story elements alongside it.

Unfortunately, I'm not very confident when it comes to the staff.

So far in the manga, there's not much yuri yet I believe. Not sure how this will be adapted though since there's only a few chapters out. I guess I'll look forward to see how this goes.

Is she that bad though? Well that's the only VA I recognized from that list but that's because she voiced Reo from Sono Hanabira. oops Wikipedia tricked me

Didn't even know that she even voiced reo from sono. That's the only good thing about her voice. But other show I watch by her is Koroko Connect voiced by Nori and that sucked that it's annoying to hear. She's 50/50 depending on the character she speaked high or low.

Welp, I went back to wikipedia to check my memory and confirm wether she really voiced reo and it looks like wikipedia is messed up. If you click the link for Reo's VA it goes to Hisaka Kanemoto but what is actually written on her voice actor is Hana Anzu...
Now I'm a bit worried but I hope don't think a VA can ruin an entire series...

Wikipedia always messed up on certain things.

Voice actors can actually ruined a show a little bit depending if it's too squeaky on the voice or doesn't sound that good at all. Though I think if one voice actor sounds that bad, it can be a issue to a show.

Ahaha I thought this would be for Winter. I guess there won't be a yuri trinity for Winter 2014 (Saki, Sakura Trick).

I feel kind of conflicted :I I was enthusiastic when I heard that there's new yuri anime coming out, but the art style and the staff don't seem to be that impressive. I hope it's worth of watching... Well, who knows if they surprise me and is actually great? I'm trying to be an optimist... And happily there's Sakura Trick in January!

Really? I think the art looks pretty good; I'd take it any day over Sakura Trick's moe-blobs. These characters have an edge to them, although maybe a little too much of one.
