Well, just playing devil's advocate here but...
Spoiler for HoshiKaka:


So yeah, it all boils down again to three options that VN adaptations usually go through. They are...

1) the canon route, or what people consider as 'more canon' than the other heroine routes (be it because she's the cover girl or whatnot). From what I hear, it's Chitose because of something pertaining to chocolate, but don't quote me on that

2) the fan favourite route. Option 1 happens more often, but option 2 is happening with greater frequency

3) harem route, whether it would be the tenchi muyo style with no clear winner, or everyone wins.


I personally am rooting for 1 for obvious reasons, but I have dreaded feeling that option 2 is going to happen because I have heard that Satsuki's following dwarfs every other heroines.

Saw Katsuhiko Takayama among the staff, and because I enjoyed Tasogare Otome × Amnesia, then this should be a good watch as well.

I don't mind the boob-jiggling, actually. Remember that their very uniform actually pushes up the breasts of the girls, so it should be no surprise.

Spoiler for Mashiro-iro Symphony:


What I'd prefer for 12 episodes would be for the series to focus on the two most popular heroines first, being Chitose and Satsuki, then tying up the others in another series or BD-only episodes.

I have my doubts about this idea, because making episodes are rather costly. If they had the budget and time to bother making extra episodes, why wouldn't they air it in the first place?

Studios do it because they don't have the time and money to get it on air in the first place. Take Bakemonogatari or P4.

So what does this have to do with the BD extras? Seeing that the studios are already paying for the timeslots to air their animes on the tv stations in the first place.

Also extra episodes are mostly viable on shows that are 100% sure that they will be succesfull, Seeing that the most recent eroge adaptations besides Yosuga no Sora (which surprised some that it had high sales) did fairly poorly, I have my doubts that they are already counting on a succes for this adaptation.
The only thing that they are sure to count on is that this anime will likely promote the upcoming all ages VN "Ima Sugu Onii-chan ni Imouto da tte Iitai!" and the psp port of koichoco just like that the Mashiro iro Symphony anime promoted the Mutsu no Hana psp game(eventhough that game was released slightly before the anime)

What, Majikoi's anime adaptation didn't do too well? Even with all the vocal talent in the show and game?

And if Yosuga no Sora did so well, I'm still at a loss as to why that team isn't behind another eroge adaptation (Moshiraba from Palette would have been great), or even just animating the Haruka na Sora fandisc routes.

Then I'm amazed that Yosuga no Sora's anime adaptation was even green-lighted, given how reliant it was on taboo themes (and how the team "maximized the action and satisfaction"). YnS wasn't likely going to get an all-ages adaptation in the first place. At least the team made it so that all the fans of the main game were satisfied, rather than a "canon" route that neglects the majority of the fans. At least if KoiChoco does an adaptation with episodes split among the most popular heroines being wooed and "won" by the protagonist, they'll satisfy twice as many fans as opposed to a typical canon route.

Still, I'm looking forward to Kaori Mizuhashi's performance in this series. She was such a riot as Kokoro Fushikawa in Majikoi.

I think that detailed discussion of this point would require spoilers that should be discussed in the game thread, but I can say that -- as you can see from the plot synopsis and trailer -- this is a story that revolves around a central fixed timeline that is external to the characters (i.e. "the election"). So any sort of split or branching setup is highly unlikely here, as there would just be way too much repetition and retread ground that wouldn't make for a good anime (even with a YnS type setup). I think you should expect them to merge as much as possible from the various routes into a single timeline, as I'd say with pretty high confidence that that's the most logical format for this story.

Damn you for crushing my hopes and dreams!

Regardless, Chitose FTW! Victory will be ever more sweet because it looked quite bleak.

Then this setting will be the same as other animated VN games. Every girl in one single swoop.

I will watch this one as well (if I had time)

I like the all the girls here but yea really they can't beat Satsuki, she's simply just <3 and I fully expect the studio to take note that she is so loved. This would be one of them times where I have a pairing I want to see happen no matter what.

...unless we go the Amagami route which then all the girls win!

Problem solved!

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

I'd be happy to see the MC end up with either Chitose or Satsuki.

Most people would be clustered around those two... Throw in catgirl Michiru as the third most popular.

...Though, I feel that Mifuyu have the best HCG scenes based on what I've found so far... You know... Just saying... >.>

Judging a heroine based on their HCG without even knowing the context/story behind it? (Then again, I've little interest in HCGs unless I know the story that goes with it, so everyone's different...)

I will be curious to see how people's preferences change after the anime starts airing, if at all. I am assuming that a lot of the preferences so far are just based on character designs, story outlines, or maybe the manga(s).

You know if one idn't know otherwise, judging by the how prominent she is you'd think Michiru is the main girl...

She was a very popular character in the game, and has her own spin-off manga (SLC), so I expect she will have a fairly big role in the anime as well (in part to help direct people to that manga).

It's obvious that Chisato and Satsuki are probably the main heroines, but Chisato being the childhood friend has me worried that she'll get friendzoned badly.

I'm sure that's not the worst way you've heard of

But just saying... I had slightly higher expectations from Chitose or Satsuki's HCG... >.>

Oh, Michiru's another good one... If you're into that kind of thing...

Yeah, when I first came across the VN, I had a hard time figuring out who the main heroine was- Chitose, Satsuki or Michiru Given how all three were featured equally prominent... The other two... Not so much...
