I always like seeing delicate lace underskirts under school uniforms. Not sure whether that makes me a pervert or not; I just find it classy. :p

lol not sure if it makes one a pervert or not but I also really like the lacy underskirt thing, classy indeed.

Initial impression just by going by that image above this looks/feels like deja vu but doesn't matter cause I'll no doubt love it none the less plus it's SPHERE!!!

It is an original anime with attractive girls in sailor uniform. I will very likely watch it. :heh:

I agree, and I don't think it's necessarily perverted. :D

Well if you added something else to that comment of your with no doubt I would've called you Marcus H.ENTAI!

I know (some of) Sphere always stars in every anime they sing a theme song for (except for Ika Musume, for now), but an anime all about Sphere, or at least a conceptualization of them? Hey, I'm in.

This is the first time I've seen lace underskirts under school uniforms(as far as I can recall that is), but I think it looks classy too. I don't know about it being a fetish though :heh:

I like the character designs. I'll wait for more info to see if it sparks any more interest in me.

What??
The main cast is all the member of SPHERE?? O.o
A must watch list... :D

So Sphere the animation? I hope they'd take the design closely to the girls IRL. E.g. Aki is huge with her crooked teeth and Ayahi has delicious chocolate skin.
Hey even AKB have an anime coming.

Hell yes!!!

I'm so looking forward to this!!!!

Now I would watch anything with sphere,and I mean anything so I didn't bother looking up the staff at first.

But then I noticed there's actualy a good staff handling this,thank you aniplex for not just relying on sphere's popularity!

Of course there's no need to speculate on who's doing the OP and ED of this show.

I hope the original design will translated well in the actual design, not like Fractale that use the same ori chara designer (Hidari).

What the problem with it anyway?
Hidari drawing style isn't too complex to put in anime... weird.

Hmmm ... must admit I am kinda curious....

Shh! You're exposing me, Wilfri! D:

Anyway, with the AKB48 anime coming, I wonder what will the story of this one involve. Looks like a soothing slice-of-life to me compared to the AKB48's iDOLM@STER-like format.

Something closer to K-ON! minus the band aspects. (A fitting comparison, since Toyosaki and Kotobuki are both on board.)

for a moment thought it was the uniform of kagome's school from Inuyasha, lol


I guess so, xD there are many animes showing those characteristics, depends of the point of view

well, I'm not fan of sphere or their music, but carrying sunrise label enough to guarantee one spot on my watch list

and based on its title, the show should out/air on . . . summer 2012 :uhoh:

'cos Yamakan thought that it would save anime :heh:

I think they will air in next spring.

well that's kinda. . .weird, considering it's only 3 months apart

but well they might have their own reasons

It's classy not perverted.

It kind of looks like its meant to peak out from below the skirt, so I really don't think its perverted. Its a nice detail I wish was part of more female school uniform designs. Actually I am really liking both the uniform and character design in general.

My theory, its going to be a slice of life series about a group of friends in their school's light music club. They also happen to be mecha pilots.

Waiting to see what this series is actually about.

A yuri comedy? Probably not.

One can always hope. :D

I agree with others in that the lace underlining is classy and very cute. When I was in high school I always wished they would let us wear one under our skirts, but they wouldn't allow it. :mad:

*Crosses fingers*

While I know he only adapted the manga,the screenwriter worked on Saki :)

*Double Crossed Fingers*... for extra support. :heh:

*breaks some users crossed fingers*

For great justice.

Hope a good opening, that would be enough to call the fans to get the interest if this ever is a musical series.

Unfortunately for you, opposite wishful thinking is the only thing you can do.

Well I thought its going to be a comedy show but it may or may not yuri.

Its very obvious this is "Hanasaku Iroha" from Sunrise if you ask me.

I certainly hope not. :uhoh:

Prudence is needed before claiming things which aren't confirmed yet.

The anime says is about Sphere and has the group as their own seiyuus and is being produced by discoghaphic houses (can't recall the names) and Sunrise (I heard Gundam Seed was full of music).

Sphere was produced by GloryHeaven, a Lantis's label distributed by Sony Music Entertainment, as well as Music Rayn'.

As far as I know there's no synopsis released so we have no idea if this is about sphere,the characters are not named after the seiyuus it seems.

This could be just another "girls in school" show that has nothing to do with music

Agreed. My thoughts exactly.

This series could be trying to be the next K-On for all we know. Hopefully it going to be more original than that.

Still stand by the original idea it's about a group of friends in their school's light music club who are mecha pilots until proven otherwise.

Omg, please no! I'd take ANYTHING but that. The LAST thing this world needs is more K-On! or anything like it. :upset:

But if it's like K-On that means you'll get your yuri(ish) comedy :D

If it's not your cup of tea then just don't watch it. Personally I would love another K-on.

While I rather like K-On, I agree I hope this series is just an attempted K-On clone, but I would probably enjoy it anyway. As long as their good Yuri, I'll be happy.:p

Edit: I meant to say "As long as there is good Yuri, I'll be happy.:p"

But still there are Sphere's members on it. That can't be ruled out yet, its Sunrise. Btw, there won't be another K-on! the anti-fandom will set its radar on the series and then won't be enough people to watch it :uhoh:.
