This looks pretty promising with the source material being from an award-winning novel, PA Works, and some of the people behind it.

I enjoyed the way Tari Tari was directed so if Hashimoto can adapt this series with a similar feel, then it could be done quite well. Looking forward to this and at least the animation quality will be nice given that it's from P.A. Works.

Looks like a pretty good staff. I'm anticipating the anime just because it's P.A. Works.

Mystery, outstanding staff, love the character designs already (a hint of romance, maybe?) This better not let me down. I hope it becomes one of my favorites.

I have no hopes for you P.A. Works
Even the Director and Script Writer won`t save this generic LN poop.

Having Masakazu Hashimoto as a director is such a let down. I haven’t personally liked any of his previous works as a director (Tari Tari, Soul Eater Not!). Hopefully he’ll do justice to Sei Hatsuno’s novels.

It’s a good thing they have Yoshida Reiko doing the series composition instead of him, though. So there is hope there.

Main character designs look fair. I would have preferred if the designs were closer to the ones shown in the novels, but that’s just me.

This is the series where the male mc is gay and in love with the teacher his childhood friend is in love with right? I hope they handle that in a mature manner.

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me
