Kaisohin, if anything I take hope for this series not so much because of the cast as Takamatsu Shinji is directing. This is someone who's showed they can handle comedy with a certain amount of style and a pleasantly rough edge.
If anything, I think Kimi to Boku can be seen as following the same trend as shows likes Horizon and Sacred Seven - on paper, at least, this looks like it's trying to be more than just a copy of those series. I'm not especially thrilled with Sunrise being the studio because I think most of their shows over the last year have been mediocre (with T & B the largest exception) and I'm not hoping this show is fabulous - we already have plenty of fabulous. My hope is that source material, director and cast overcomes studio influence in this case.
