I'm going to keep expectations for low now but if they can get some of the comedy right, maybe it could be a fun watch.

Impressive line-up of seiyuus, looks like it's going to be the sole reason I'll be checking this out. Can't possibly expect anything from DEEN.

This is coming from a girl who loves age gap romances plus a big shoujo fan but I'm sorry, I will give this one a great big pass. The main girl is a doormat and the story is wonky IMO.

I hope the Betsufure announcement coming out next month for Watashi ga Motete Dousunda is an anime because that manga is amazing.

Still, good for the fans! The seiyuu line up is amazing not to mention the art in the manga is GREAT.

But, I shall skip this.

I wanted to watch it anyway, but with those seiyuu... seriously xD Actually sometimes I get lured by the awesome cast, just to end up watching ridiculous anime *cough otoge adaptations cough*, but somehow I have a slight hope this could be at least a little funny...
