Da Capo + Lamune + Love Hina put into one? Definitely the harem show of the season (and what's a season without one?).

Been looking foward to this title, although I have yet to play the game since I only do consumer ports (Konnyaku is yet to be released), being a Mac user.

Lots of tsunderekko potential and moe factor, although it's Akane over Rinna all the way for me. For an added bonus, the male lead isn't a wuss.

Artland was a big question factor, their works ranging from the good (Mushishi, Bokura ga Ita), the bad (Happiness!), to the ugly (Katekyou Hitman Reborn!). However, it's safe to say that the first episode of Konnyaku is on the good side of things.

The cast is a mixed group of veterans and newcomers, balancing things out. Had a hard time trying to adjust to Koorogi Satomi (Rinna) and Orikasa Ai (Naoko) doing high schoolers, but this Morisawa Fumi (Umi) has Gotou Yuuko-like properties for sure. Nice job by Mario (!) on voicing the dojikko Saeri-sensei.

With the episode titles being names of the girls (reminds me of Yamibou), plus the subtitle of "Welcome to the Tsugumi Dorm", I suppose the stories are going to focus on the paths for each girl, although they're going to run out of episodes if they do this for everyone unless this is more than 12-13 eps long. However, being an eroge adaptation, there must be a common theme that they'll pursue as well.

Recommend it to those who enjoy conventional bishoujo titles.

Really looking forward to seeing this now...I'd be happy if it turned out similar to Lamune, I'm very glad to hear the male lead's not spineless and that the animation quality is pretty good.
