Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru
 

NeoSam mentioned this one before the db got wiped out.

Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru
game: 処女はお姉さまに恋してる
TV: 乙女はお姉さまに恋してる

http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/otome/

Long story short- Boy recieves last wish from dying grandpa: dress as a girl and attend an all-girl school (don't ask). Boy foolish(and cute) enough to do it.

Edit: TV name added

The premise is similar to I My Me Strawberry Eggs where a male character has to impersonate himself as a female to operate in an all girl environment because of being in a dire situation or need to fullfill a request.


But judging the shoujo-ai overtones of the homepage's pic, I suppose this anime would be a mix of I My Me Strawberry Eggs along with Maria-sama Ga Miteru.

That's my take.

Given my extra-limited understanding of the Japanese language, the title roughly translates as something like:
I'm in Love with a Maiden

When in 2006 does it begin airing?

Wait, this game's having an anime? o_O

I didn't think it was that popular...

wait, whose the guy on the front pic? :P

i cant wait to see this anime, looks good

As for the anime itself, I'll hold judgement on it. Series like this tend to be rather hit or miss to me. If it's anything like Kashimashi I'll probably like it. I won't get my hopes up though.

Game site: http://www.caramel-box.com/products/otoboku/

And yes, this is a guy: http://www.caramel-box.com/products/...racter_01.html :twitch:
Note the gender sign.

I might even try the demo, before the anime begins, even thought I won't probably understand much... as far as I know demo hasn't translated to english.

A question if anybody minds for the boy dressed as a girl.

They're fake. He's just dressing as a girl, not a transsexual. ^_^;;

When will this series start airing?

what is with all of the new animes involving cross dressing guys?
i mean, doesn't anyone find that to be a bit wierd?

Obviously we want to see a guy actually get close to a girl very easily, and make the girl think she's a lesbian. :heh: :eyespin:

Moonphase has it listed only as 2006. I don't think there's a set date yet.

It's the next big thing since twincest.

Bah~ the guy is not so moe~...but then I find the general char designs not too hot.

Interesting character design... ...different than the game's.
Scheduled to october.

Uh, maybe too Da Capo-ish, but looks good, I just wished they had stayed on game's character designs.

Looking forward to this series anyway.

Well, a lot of the staff worked on D.C.S.S., that's why it looks so similar.
If you read MOON PHASE's hatena diary, the first line said after the production information is 「D.C.S.S.」の悪夢再び？！(The nightmare of DCSS again?!) :heh:
And yes, as paTKany mentioned above, this show is set to premiere in October.

You may laugh; I didn't, however, when I heard the news.

The second I read that the DCSS crew is going to be responsible for this series, I rolled my eyes + sighed + and thought "omg not DCSS all over again".

Amusingly I am not the only one who think that ^_^;; .

Shouldn't the main character's head be bigger? The game drawing looks (as always with bishoujo games) better.

They also changed the name from 『処女』→『乙女』 . What's wrong with the word "virgin"?

Blah *explode*
</rant>

Isn't it the other way around? A Maiden Is In Love With Me or Maidens Are In Love With Me?

Colloquially, perhaps The Girls All Love Me might be a bit less stilted-sounding....
