| Can't say I'm expecting much but the title is great I guess hehe :p |
| Is this persona 3? |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
Infatuate said: Is this persona 3? I was thinking the same thing! Persona 3, otome-style! I just started giggling halfway through the synopsis because I was having deja vu. XD Jokes aside, it sounds cool and that key visual looks neat, so I'll be keeping an eye on this one. |
| HanaKana (in the middle), Sugita-san (kurokami with bang covering his eyes at the back), Sakurai-san (kinpatsu at the front right), Okamoto (ginpatsu at the front left) and Midoriya shounen. This better be good! I don't care if this is similar to otomege and those reverse harems. I mean the creators are otomege company. I already like Ton in the middle! The fact that she is 18 is already an improvement! :D |

| It seems to me or HanaKana is popular enough as shoujo MC? |
 |
| Original anime great, wait ... aaand its otome. Well, pass. |
 |
| kanahana what are you doing in a reverse harem ? go back voicing a loser waifu in a harem ... x) hmm ... i don't watch reverse harems so i'll pass for sure |

| This looks interesting... It's an original reverse harem anime? That's rare. I might give this one a try. The synopsis really sounds like Persona 3 though... |
 Help, I'm hooked into the Fate series (not all) and am obsessed with Shirou x Saber! Also, forever hoping for a ufotable remake of the Fate route! |
| Is this the second season to princess principal ? haha,joke aside. I only will watch this to hear hanakana voice. OF course I hope it will be a good show. |
 |
| I won't mind seeing an original otome anime as long as it is better than Dance with Devils. |
| Key visual and cast looks interesting. Maybe since it's an original anime, there is some kind of hope for a decently structured plot from start to finish. I won't hold my breath, but will definitely watch for the voice acting and hopefully some pretty art to go with. |
| THAT CAST THO Kinda surprised this isn't an otome game but it's actually an original title. I hope there's some emphasis on the characters unlike Dance with Devils, which had potential but was generally lackluster. Anyway the premise and key visuals are to my liking so I am looking forward to it~ |
| What kind of Persona is this! |
