I can see it now. The girl in the topmost right is the best girl.

Your waifu detector goggles must be made in china then.
Anyone can see that the bottom left one is the best one.

Set in the same school as Amagami SS? Well, that's me in then, especially if they handle this series in a similar fashion with the omnibus format.

In my opinion it would be better to tell a coherent story, than to continue to exploit this idea as it was in Photobeno.

ohhh yes amagami ss spin off

now about the length... I guess it's wishful thinking to hope for 2-cour

Beautiful designs like always, but dunno, Amagami wasn't that great really. I'll probably check it out anyway.

I wish Azusa sung op&ed for this series too :(

Well this is exciting 😊

I wonder how far apart the two series will be from each other and if they're planning on an omnibus format for this also.

I'm excited. It feels like it's been a while since there's been a romance quite like these.

It does to some extent. Studios often have "the usual staff" and director is not enough to completely overwrite it. Not to mention the animation itself. Lance'n'Masquest or whatever that piece of shit was called... yeah, sounds great.

Not sure what you're blathering about as Studio Gokumi has been involved in plenty of fine anime. Yuuki yuna, Kirino mosaic, Severing crime edge were all fine shows and most importantly looked great.

Just because they gave a bad show it doesn't really mean much anyways imo. As the previous one said, Gokumi has made a lot of nice stuff as well. I just don't see there much at least for me though.

The director seems fine but what the hell is with the studio choice. Nothing but garbage from both of them. The best series either of them ever made seems to be Wagamama short... What happened to AIC?

AIC is now in the same situation as Gonzo was in 2009-2010. Due to a bad management they almost got bankrupt and lost most of the staff, so, despite studio being alive, we won't see any big projects from them for a couple of years at least.

Yeah, it looks like the only thing AIC has done for a couple of years now is a new OVA season of Tenchi Muyou they are doing right now. :|

And here I was thinking how the designs gives me an Amagami feel.

"The series will feature a new story that takes place at the same high school as Amagami SS."

Interesting! I wonder if they'll have some callbacks to Amagami.

Hell yes, I'm tired of constantly losing ships. With this, I can have a season where not one ship blows up!

So a spin-off of Amagami SS? I'm in.

They better not screw the childhood friend over because that's one of the aspects that I found really annoying in Amagami. I don't know what it is about Japan and Childhood friends but it's clear to me that both words don't fit that well.

Wat? Every potential love interest gets a happy ending in Amagami.
