awesome. looks like it'll be nicely animated. even though i have to say i'm not particularly wild about the style.

[musume_no_hoshi]

It looks nothing out of the orginary in terms of plot. But the seiyuu list is ...very temping...maybe I'll just watch the first few episodes for the sake of the seiyuus and drop it. I have a STRONG feeling I would dislike this anime, due to my dislike of harem series.

I wish the sounds was more clear, so I could hear the voices.

[Utau]

it's noisy but PV looks awesome nonetheless

[Game8910]

great animation, awesome VA cast, im really looking forward to this

[johnishida]

No idea what they were saying but... What's with that kiss!? I hope that's not their first time meeting each other 'cause it will totally suck compared to what happened in the game >_>

The animation looks pretty good, btw.

Same reaction from me. the hell was that!?!?

[relentlessflame]

I'm willing to give it a chance (because I'm not the type who necessarily believes that an anime has to stick faithfully to the source material necessarily, though it's neat when it does), but at this point it almost looks like it's an anime-original story based loosely off of the game, rather than a stricter adaptation. A lot of the promo material I've seen for it have been pitching it as "9 parts comedy, 1 part romance" too, so I think they're going for something different. Who knows...

Artstyle-wise, I think it actually preserves the game look pretty decently. Still looking forward to seeing what they've done with it.

That's a shame, I was hoping for some decent drama from this. Maybe some bitchiness? Something like this gal does

I'm still pretty keen to watch it though.

Well, even if they had stayed totally true to the game, I wouldn't say it ever gets that serious. The game was more of a romantic comedy too, honestly. It did have drama (like almost all story-driven bishoujo-games do), but it wasn't really going for something too melodramatic. Just so you get a sense of what the game was like to begin with, so if the anime is even more comedy-oriented... well, we'll see what happens. I will say, though, that I liked the characters, so I still want to see what they do with it, personally.

"9 parts comedy, 1 part romance"

Why does that remind me of "9 parts tsun, and never dere with humans"?

Haha - yup, exactly. That's exactly what they were going for in saying that.

[Game8910]

well I am definately 9 parts excited, 1 part fapping to this show

[asaqe]

The only complaint is that like most H-game adaptations, they will leave out the H...unless you are a trap

[Midonin]

If the Animate listings are any indication, the show's going Kyouran Kazoku Nikki (or alternately, ef) here. I'm seeing ED songs listed for individual characters.

Judging by the small inset picture on the left, while I can't speak for the game, anime Yuuhi looks to be someone you do NOT want to piss off:

Nice picture! And yeah, it's very safe to say that the game is no different in that regard. Tsunderes = Volatile.

Is there any word on when they're planning to announce the release date for this?

Suffice it to say, it's announced now. The first episode will air on Chiba TV on Friday, October 3rd at 1:00am (which is the 2nd at "25:00" if you prefer that notation...)

[Shinji103]

After playing the PS2 game, this is now one of my most anticipated series coming in October, right up there with Gundam 00 S2 and ef. Yuuhi has jumped to the top of the ranks in my Favorite Female Characters list. She is just soooo moe. Forget Shana and Louise, if Yuuhi in the anime is anything like she is in the game, this will be Rie Kugumiya's best tsundere role yet. If you like Dating Sim/Visual Novel type games, get this game.

My only problem is that it's not as clear in this game how to go down the routes for the other heroines as it is in other Dating Sims/Visual Novels. (although I have a few untested theories)

Spoiler for PS2 Game:

If the anime follows the original game plot, then yes. Fyi though, I'm rooting for Yuuhi.
