| According to Thursday's issue of Dragon Age magazine, the light novel Shinmai Maou no Testament (The Testament of Sister New Devil) will receive an anime adaptation. Tesuto Uesu's series debuted in October 2012, and the fifth volume will be released at the end of March. Volume 4 ranked eighth of all light novels in its first week on the Oricon sales charts. Nekosuke Ookuma illustrates the series, which has also inspired two manga adaptations. Another of Uesu's light novels, Hagure Yuusha no Estetica, was adapted into a TV anime in Summer 2012. Synopsis "Hey, you said you wanted a little sister, right?" First year highschool student, Toujo Basara, was suddenly asked by his father and fell into a state of panic. On top of that, the eccentric father told him he will be getting remarried. He then departed overseas after bringing Basara two beautiful step-sisters. But Mio and Maria's true forms are actually the newbie Demon Lord and a succubus?! Basara was almost entered into a master and servant contract with Mio, but a "reversed" contract was formed by mistake, and Basara is now the master!? Moreover, Basara is being hit by ecchi situation one after another due to the contract, but Mio's life is being pursued by other demon tribes and hero tribes!! The most powerful contractor's desire action drama begins! (Source: MU) Source: ANN, 0takomu News submitted by Nidhoeggr Shinmai Maou no Testament on MAL |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Not a series I'm personally interested in. Hagure Yuusha burned me hard, and this one doesn't even sound as though it should be good, so I think this is a safe pass for me. edit: typo |

| I love the LN art. One of the best for it's genre with all the hotness. So hope at least for a good budget studio with good character designs :3 |

| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| I like the art style. And yes I know its generic to no end. But I'm a fan of Light Novels, so I'll probably watch it. Edit: I'm also surprised that this is getting an adaptation when its only 5 volumes long so far. Though the same happened with Black Bullet. |

Or rather, of light novels that get anime adaptations - I am aware that it shows up fairly often in the sort of hentai/erotic Light Novels that never get anime. Edit: I'm also surprised that this is getting an adaptation when its only 5 volumes long so far. There's no date for the anime's airing yet, and 4 volumes per cours of anime is fairly standard. I don't see a problem in that respect. |

Not everything can be Mahouka and SAO as far as profits are concerned (I know Mahouka hasn't started yet, but I can't imagine that it won't profit well). kuuderes_shadow said: More like its hard to imagine when people conveniently adding things to the list of what counts as generic will end.

I'm not saying this anime will be anything special, good or bad for that matter. Everyone has different tastes when it comes to manga and anime as I'm sure your tastes and mine are different in their own way. So why immediately claim someone's taste as mediocre or bad just because its different from yours? |

Yeah I'm experiencing the boredom and worse distaste in many of the new ecchi series this year, 2014 is the worst year for this genre to date. Also, the little sister concept needs to take a 1-3 year hiatus for anime adaptations it's getting bad enough that I don't even want anything to do with them anymore. |

| Ironic that the one who hates these types of stories submitted the news story. Didn't see that one coming. Can't say this is original or anything but I find the manga entertaining and that's what counts for me. inb4 I have shit taste. I'm 80% sure Arms will animate this. Them or ZEXCS. Either way, will watch and will read the LN in the meantime. |

As for the Anime: The character looking nice. Something. Also it seems the guy is not the usual "Rito weak" person, more of the person who can fight. If it's like DxD then it's a win for me. Count me in for red hair bishoujou Maou girl. |

I personally wouldn't look at it the same way. But to each his own. |
| Rather than generic, i'd think of it as (decent) fantasy premise being overriden almost entirely by utterly crass gimmicks, to the point that the fantasy aspect utterly pales in comparison with the, oh, imouto and osananajimi that are thrown in for good measure (and just conveniently flock to the badass MC with 'ugh' tragic past) and doing all sort of zzz stuffs together which in itself, thankfully, manages to explain the "contract" thing, which in turn just degrade the worth of the series into half-assed titillation. Hence i'll pass, cause if i want titillation, i'd just go read some hentai. The manga made me chuckle. In a bad way, though |
| `-` Meh manga didn't made any good impresion on me.I will put it on plan to watch with the rest of Not aired anime.Probably will stay there for a long long time. |

| I bet it will be animated by Arms. |

And you know what? This sounds much more high quality overall than most recent seasons :D |

| I'd really love an actual parody on all these LN. Not just in name, but in terms of content. "My Light Novel with an ultralong name is getting adapted into an anime, and my cute sister is involved?!" |

My perfect season would be a season with equal number of shows for men and women. I don't mind the harem, cute girl shows, ecchi, whatever. I just want a season with at least 12-13 shows aimed at girls as well. Or rather, more than being aimed at girls, if more anime were gender balanced, I'd be content. This is just my opinion and longing though... True, variety is key. I also wouldn't mind more real romance shows, Shoujo and Josei adaptions. But as others ahve already noted, this overly strong focus on a specific Ln type gets tiresome. And yeah, i know most of these won't sell well. It's a shame, really. |

MANGA adaption (but I lookg forward to this). You just changed from Light Novels to Manga. Not very original in my eyes. I think the problem is nowdays that Anime are only 12/13 even less nowdays. Soon to be only longer then an OVA because studios don't know if it will sell or not. Thats why they mostly go with adaptions. And LN is 'kinda' 'cheaper' way to do then a Manga. If you would have a full length (24) you have actually time for the Anime stories, little break as well and not 3/4 nothing and the last 3 episodes are like "woooow the shit is now like mad yoooooo" and end > 2nd season? That IS bullshit. |

Be honest, if we cut down ecchi romcom LN from ten to let's say one title per season: Would you *really* miss the 9 LN that didn't get an adaption? Take this series for example. 95% here have posted that this looks just like most of the series in that genre and that they will pass. Would it really make an impact for you? And all the otaku can still buy the LN and the discs of the one or two harem LN that would get aired. |
