| ... the girl is cute at least. If they keep the same coloring style, I will probably watch it. |

| sounds really dumb, pass |
 |
| Are they trying at all with the synopsis? "ordinary high school boy".... might as well put "a cliched plot for you to rant about" |
 |
| I hope she is not related to Haruhi Suzumyia |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| I might try it. |
     |
| Why must they put "Ordinary high school boy?" But the girl is pretty. Probably give it a try. |
| ugh, "ordinary high school boy" is such a turn-off. sounds generic too, woo hoo. |
| Am I the only one who welcomes generic? I like unique shows as much as the next guy but I don't really mind generic shows. |
| I wonder if this will be a romance or not? The girl is the main character's cousin this time around, so this might not even be a romance, unless they really want to go down the incest route. That is assuming they are blood-related. If they aren't, then this WILL be a romance. If it isn't romance, then the chances of me watching it go up a fair bit, even if I still think it will just cater to moeblob-loving otaku. |
Current FAL Ranking + Previous best::  [ |
| The plot doesn't interest me. |
| The female lead sounds almost as crazy as Nino from Arakawa Under the Bridge. Might be worth a watch? But "love comedy"? Between cousins? It's something like incest, then? |
Chicken + Dictionary + Dictionary = CMC. Eeyup.  |
| This will be completely dependent on which studio will animate this. |
| Yeah...Ice element rocks! |
Niwa Makoto is an ordinary high school boy. cool |
| I was waiting for it. Cover of vol3 is so hhhnnnggggnnnh. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| might as well try this one out as well |
 |
| Not sure what to think of the plot but if they keep the character design of the cover, chances are very high I'll watch it. |
| "Ordinary high school boy" - no way in hell I'm watching this. |
| [sexist]Seriously, does anyone watch anime for the guys?[/sexist] They make ordinary guys so we can wish that we were in his place. |

| She looks cute |
| I have ENOUGH of these "ordinary school boys"... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
rlime said: But "love comedy"? Between cousins? It's something like incest, then? LMAO this. And to all the "aww... ordinary boy" people.... WTF? |

| Synopsis sounds interesting, I'll probably try this out~ |
 |
A sci-fi (?) love comedy I stopped here. |
 Waratte Oemashou Sore ha Chiisana Inori |
| maybe will give it a try |
| I thought this girl looked familiar xD i have a picture of her eating pizza in a big sweater |
| Shaft is animating this. |

| It's SHAFT, I'll watch it. -shrugs- Plus the girl has blue hair and every time I see her out the corner of my eye I think she's Konata. That's as good a reason to watch an anime as any. XD |
| I like to give every SHAFT show a chance, so I'll definitely give this a try, but I'm not expecting much. |
 |
| Oh no? not Shaft and Simbo again. We'll get one more pseudofubby, pseudointellectual random crap with totally open final. I liked the plot so watch ep. 1 but don't hope for anything good now. |
 |
| I could never go wrong with anything SHAFT for the most part, and the premise interests me, at the very least. I'm actually somewhat anticipating this anime, even amidst the generic main character. It seems interesting enough! |
 |
 Quality character design guaranteed. SHAFT is finally getting on the track. |
| baseball girl lol |
| PV at Comiket 79 |
| Wtf, SHAFT? I'll watch it anyways, since it's SHAFT. |
I like SHAFT but knowing them this anime could go two ways... the low budget fail of Dance in the Vampire Bund or the ultra win of Bakemonogatari... Looking at the director too... Shinbou, Akiyuki... Who knows how this anime will turn out? |

ringoo4 said: Oh, I see... well that's a bad thing I did on my part; I should've done my research. The only anime that I know from SHAFT are Dance in the Vampire Bund, Bakemonogatari and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (<- though I've never seen it yet). Either way I loved Bakemonogatari and Shinbou, Akiyuki's style so I have high hopes for Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko. From what I know, Dance in the Vampire Bund and Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei was the only 'lol budget fail' animes they've ever done. |

| Another SHAFT (+Shinbou Akiyuki) Win! Puella Magi Madoka Magika. SHAFT's really picking up momentum nowadays. Can't wait to see what kind of unique result they're gonna come up with for Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko! |
