Average character designs but a very attractive cast we've got here:
Tadakuni: Irino Miyu Hidenori: Sugita Tomokazu Yoshitake: Suzumura Kenichi Bungaku Shoujo: Hikasa Yoko Ringo-chan: Yuki Aoi Tadakuni's sister: Takagaki Ayahi Motoharu: Namikawa Daisuke Karasawa: Ono Yuki President of the student council: Ishida Akira Vice President: Yasumoto Hiroki Mitsuo: Okamoto Nobuhiko Yanagin: Kobayashi Yu Habara: Yukana Ikushima: Saito Chiwa The trailer looks like it'll be more towards comedy and certainly seems fun. I like the banter between Irino, SuzuKen and Sugita's characters there. Definitely worth checking out when it comes around. Also, in before numerous "Hopefully this one will be about real high school boys acting like how real boys do and not girls etc. etc. etc." spiel. |

Spiel on:
With Takamatsu Shinji directing - as the director of "School Rumble", he knows something of the male HS experience -I'm optimistic that this will actually do what Kimi to Boku clearly isn't trying to, be an authentic exploration of HS life for guys. Trailer:

Had a quick read of the manga and I can see why the director of School Rumble and Gintama is on this. Looks like a purely gag comedy manga (Heck the first page of chapter one looks like this ) and with only about 10 pages per chapter I doubt it'll ever go any deeper than that.
Nevertheless, this is ought to be something fun to watch in between the more serious shows next year, especially with the fun voice cast they have lined up. Fixed it for ya. |

Anyway it seems whatever I wrote in the other thread was not read so I won't bother anymore. It was silly of me to have done so in the first place. |

Hahahaha and Sunrise answers all the girly school life shows with a show about boys school life. They totally want a slice of the rest of the otaku pile, I think I called it right with the trends started with Horizon and to a lesser extent Sacred Seven.
This is all mildly amusing and I almost have to take this as a semi-jab at the trend, but can this profit with the girls? Wonder if and how this plays out any differently then the myriad of cute girls doing cute things in school shows on account of being all male casted. Also lol at people in the linked thread summarily deciding the show sucks cause it's not the actual Nichijou, but then deciding it's tolerable or something cause of the voice cast. Oh MAL......could you possibly be any more superficial, knee jerk and trivial if you tried over there. It's almost pitiable...almost. |

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.

Anyway, the staff is always key however and they do tend to bring strong staff as of late which I think is what is helping them get a bit more back on track with their TV material. As soon as I heard the Gintama director was involved I figured it was Sunrise behind the show and low and behold. In any case that all but guarantees the production values will be good. |

That nonsense about "recent trends" and "the sort of stuff that's really popular on anime forums" is a pretty laughable argument, when you look at the post traffic for shows like Sacred Seven, Horizon and Star Driver vs. "lackadaisical" shows like Ikoku Meiro, Usagi Drop and Chihayafuru. But whatever - if it makes you feel better to belittle people who disagree with you, that's your right.

I only thought School Rumble was so so. It was fun at first but it became repetitive for me after awhile so the director doesn't make this a must see for me.
However I am not ashamed to admit that I am totally going to give this a chance for the seiyuu cast alone. Granted that's not the best reason to watch an anime...but it has worked for me before (Saiunkoku Monogatari). edit: I never saw Gintama, I know that is a very beloved series so I just want to clarify my opinion on the director's work is not taking Gintama into account. Plus my problems with School Rumble might have stemmed more from the source material.

Eh, is this the format they'll be doing the anime in or is this exclusively for the pre-airing special only? Well I suppose a series of short 5-6 min eps works for a manga like this with such a short page count per chapter.
The skirt skit was fun. I liked it as much as I did when I read it. Their casting choice definitely helped a lot. Miyu Irino is a good butt monkey XD. Literature girl skit was okay too, mainly cause of hearing Sugita reciting that long monologue. |

Not outstanding comedy, but actually got a few chuckles out of me and was kind of amusing (can see the Gintama in it for sure), which is better than most. What I noticed most of all though is that it's like they're going for the actual humour and punchline as opposed to just something cute, crazy and random, which will probably make a huge difference going forward.
