Hanasakeru Seishounen
Seeing as how there appears to be no thread for this series yet, I thought I might as well make one so it doesn't slip between the cracks completely.
Hanasakeru Seishounen is by Itsuki Natsumi, probably best known in Japan for Yakumo Tatsu, but best known here for Juu-ou-sei. Her works tend to be interesting and complex, so for those of you that are expecting a typical "reverse harem" scenario, think again. (Most reverse harem series don't start off with a subplot in 1939 New York) Quote:
Also of interest--even to a person like me, who can barely remember seiyuu names--is the cast list: Endo Aya is playing the lead, who has the headache-inducing name of Kajika Louisa Kugami Burnsworth. Namikawa Daisuke is Rumati, and then Ono Daisuke as Eugene, Fukuyama Jun as Carl, and Morikawa Toshiyuki as Fan Li Ren. |
I certainly hope a sub group picks this up. It's been on my radar for some time now. Glad to see there's finally a thread for this. Hopefully it'll get more buzz as a result.

Anyway. I thought the first episode was great, although I fully acknowledge that I've been hyped up for this show for months (I loved most of Jyu-Oh-Sei and what little I've read of Demon Sacred) and deliberately champion underdog shows for some unknown reason. Kajika's a great central character, and I'm looking forward to discovering the substance behind the harem-like premise. |

It is obvious that Lee-ren is not happy about the game thing. It will be interesting to see who she chooses. also, this is going to be 39 episodes long(the pain) |
Perhaps NeoSam is too manly to have such thoughts such as the ones that girls can have harem too? Don't kill me.
The reason I don't follow reverse harem because there isn't enough fan-service. I know for a harem series that I can always look forward to a mandatory beach-episode. Why can't reverse harem have one in a regular basis? Surely the idea the dudes donning on their trunks and a healthy application of sunscreen to look pica-pica (shiny) isn't too far out of the generic equation of fanservice. The camera can also focus on the flexing muscle, some pecs' action... and a crotch-shot for the finishing touch. Not too shavvy. I'll check out the first episode since LKK-sensei is showing interest in it. |

Anyone that have read the last volume of the manga and can spoil who she chooses in the manga? |

Thank you Thank you Thank you :kisskiss:
Thank you for making Hanasakeru Seishounen thread ^^ I really considered to make Hanasakeru Seishounen thread, but hesitated a bit since i haven't made any threads and don't know what i write in that first post; but when i decided to try to make the thread, i found you made it ^-^ So i am really glad !!:blush: I am really big fan of Hanasakeru Seishounen, so i am very happy that the series became Anime. ^-^ |
Watched the raw and it's :love: My inner fangirl just can't resist a reverse harem, even less if it has such a big seiyu galore. Also somebody NEEDS to spoil me with manga spoilers.

Spoiler for misunderstanding from first episode and summaries:
don't forget to watch the preview for next episode and watch Li Ren closely. |

One thing I'm looking forward to is the fact that this is based on a finished manga. I don't know how it ends and I don't want to know. But knowing that it does end leads me to hope that the series might come to a conclusion which is somewhat rare nowadays. I'm a little tired of series that don't reach a conclusion. A problem that frequently occurs with series based on in-progress manga or novel series. |

hopefully with the anime they do a reprint of the manga. |

By the way, the 39 episodes comes from animenation and they got it from an interview with one of the seiyuu for the show. |

I'm Looking forward to this, just saw the first episode and is very promising
I REALLY hope a group picks this up |
I just saw ep1, and if it fulfills the promise I saw, 39 eps isn't too long. I found the story interesting and the characters individual. Endou Aya's Kajika is a very attractive character. We'll see what they can do with the premise.

Sorry, no matches were found.ANN has this at 13 eps. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ency...=10510&page=25 |

So although it's not AnimeNation, it's still more than 13. |

"森川さん:僕もこの作品はオーディションの時に、初めて知ったんです。それで、立人に決まった時に、原作 を読みたいなって思ったんですが、なかなか本屋でみつからない。それで同年代の知り合いの女性に“『花咲け る青少年』で役が決まったよ”って言ったら、狂喜乱舞しまして“全巻貸してやる!”って言われたんです(笑 )。あっこれはすごいな、僕も気合い入れて、いい汗かいて演じようと思いましたね。放送は全39話ということなので、皆さんも是非、花鹿を見守って頂いて、一緒になって夫選びや作品を楽しんで頂ければ嬉しいです " the sentence in bold say, "the total broadcast will be 39 episodes" Here is the link for the whole thing. http://www.animate.tv/news/detail.ph...id=&rid=&type= |

BTW, m.3.3.w will be subbing this, unless the tranlsator finds out that there's 39 eps and decides to bail... lol Looks like it's gonna be pretty good, also. |

This season, ANN seemed to have a lot of episode totals, so I was especially leery. But I guess if they have x number of episode titles, there are probably at least that number of episodes. It all depends on the accuracy of the info people send in. You're supposed to include a source, but sometimes maybe the source is inaccurate. I still think ANN is the best anime info site going. At least for my purposes in comparing staffs and casts. |

I think I have to defend ANN for once. You're just misinterpreting them. ANN states clearly "We have XX episodes." Not "There are" not even "We think there are" just "We have". You should have noticed that there are often entries for, say, 17 episodes. That fact alone should allow to figure out how these lists are to be interpreted and how they are not to be interpreted. It's just the maximal number that has been confirmed. Show me a case where ANN says 24 eps that turn out to be 13 in reality. I always see complaints about the opposite only.

Ordinarily I like reverse harem type shows, provided they have a decent storyline. Not sure about this one. After the first episode, all I know, is that the girl is supposed to play a "game" with her father, in which she finds and chooses her future husband. I found the attitude interesting, and at the same time rather offensive. It was as if, since she's a woman, she has to have a guy in order to be worthwhile. Maybe we'll understand more later, but seriously, why the rush to get her married off? If her dad expects her to stand at the top of his empire, then why push her into marriage so soon? And what about the cute friend back in Japan? Hopefully we'll see a lot of her as well.

Itsuki Natsumi's blog
In the author Itsuki Natsumi's blog, She said アニメも順調に進んでるみたいですね。 この間8話までの脚本見せてもらいました。 さすがに39話もあるとジェットコースターアニメには ならないですねー。 楽しみです It looks they have made the anime well . I have been shown the scripts of 8 episodes so far. Since this series has 39 episodes, it can't be a coaster anime(anime that the story proceeds very fast) . I am really looking forward. :) |
While I won't disagree that the premise is ridiculously contrived, and can be construed as chauvinistic, I didn't mind it that much There have been some really obnoxious shoujo anime floating around more recently, which is strange because historically it's just about the least obnoxious genre in anime. I think this one teeters on the edge, and I can see why people would be turned off by it, but I think Kon brings enough self-control to it to keep it from going overboard.
Ep 1 Bland art and animation, but that's not really a priority for a series like this. I actually really like the lead character, sure she's blessed with looks and money (anime characters with money sometimes tend to be rather repulsive), but she's also amiable, strong-minded and a has a strong sense of righteousness. I think I would have liked to have seen her in Japan for longer, but, oh well. Anyway, looks like we're in for a good old-fashioned reverse harem, and seeing as I'm not continuously rolling my eyes at the worst of the reverse harem tropes (as I generally am with normal harem anime), the early signs are good. I'm interested in seeing where this is going. |
Hmm looks rather interesting. This is my first reverse harem anime I watched ^^; And I'd prefer not to watch them, but since the story piqued me, I'll stick with it for a bit.

I LOVE the OP theme. Loved the first episode. Loved Endo Aya's voice. I just think that the animation on some parts were a bit deformed. But other than that, I think the story's set-up is interesting.:) And wow 39 episodes.

As for those that want to know the final pairing, it is hinted in the opening. If you are a good observer you can figure it out. I had it round out to two guys by just watching the opening and I am not the greatest of observers. I found out the final pairing when i read the manga. Spoiling the final pairing in the opening is not big deal because it is probably common knowledge in Japan. |

But good to know that it'll get interesting later. |
