[Stark700]

Production on the original television anime Binan Kōkō Chikyū Bōei-bu Love! (Handsome High School Earth Defense Unit Love!) has been green-lit for a January 2015 premiere. The anime's official website opened with a key visual of five high school boys and "a mysterious pink creature," while the logo features an apparent symbol for a hot spring.

And here is the PV dialogue:

Yumoto: My house!? Kurotama Springs is in business with rave reviews!
Boy: We make wooden chopsticks wood from thinned forests, so it's utilitarian.
En: what kind of a Schrödinger excuse is that!?
Ryu: I think love is a real but quiet thing.
Io: It's called the Concorde effect, and it only increases profits at the end.
Narrator: The Earth Defense Club as a club that does nothing. However, one day...
Wombat: I want to save this planet.
Yumoto: Whoa! A wombat!
Narrator: They really end up protecting the Earth.
Yumoto: We are the protectors of love!
All: Battle Lovers!
Kinshiro: Are you just going to let those disgusting and unrefined students get away with this?
Ibushi: Well, I do think they need rules...
Akoya: Well, I don't want to see anything dirty and ugly.
Zunder: Remember that I will conquer the world.
Wombat: Now, everyone"! You must do Love Making!
Yumoto: What!?
Narrator: What is Love Making?

Here is the summary of the series: " In the story, the high school "Earth Defense Club" is basically the "do nothing club." Club members En and Atsushi are soaking in the bathtub at a public bath when suddenly a mysterious pink creature, Wombat, appears out of thin air and asks, "I want to save this star... please would you lend me your power?" Then, Yumoto, whose family runs the bath house appears and chases wombat to give him a hug.

In school the next day, the remaining two members, Io and Ryū, also meet Wombat. Wombat gives all five of them bracelets and tells them to protect Earth. A dazzling light comes from the bracelets and envelops their bodies... "

Spoiler for Episode 1:

This is much better than I expected to be. Diomedéa surprisingly made the animation good despite the low budget; in terms of how I rank the animation for each of the four works they're working this season, I'll place in 2nd position. The character movements during transformation scenes and battle moves are superb to watch, we can at least hope it doesn't throw still shots in front of us in the remaining episodes.

Despite the title and the character designs, the homoerotic subtext isn't something meant to take seriously (unless you put goggles on for maximum yaoi effect). Storywise, it was clearly meant to be a parody of a magical girl series put in pretty boy costume, it reminds me of Bakumatsu Rock very much, mainly in the comedy factor. Furthermore, I especially laughed at the beginning of the episode when Wombat gets drown in hot water at the bathhouse before revealing himself he wants the Earth Defense boys' band to save Earth by fighting the opposing alien force.

As far the sexy fanservice go, I can see it taking the Sabagebu! route by throwing bath scenes in every episode; while it isn't necessarily bad in itself, I would like it better if they throw some break episodes (as in without the bathroom moments).

I can see it being pleasant surprise so far, though I do have a bit of doubt on the other hand.

*looks at screencaps* Oh god I can't wait to watch this episode.

[HandofFate]

too much BL bait for me.
I pass

[Utsuro no Hako]

If nothing else, this show has plenty of material for avatars.

[White Manju Bun]

Boy and I thought lesbian bears was weird....this is bizarre. Not going to take it too seriously, just fun eye candy at this point.

[Stark700]

Pretty sure this is like a parody since I can't help but face palm at the fighting. I mean, LOVE MAKE? Also, that pink creature...

[Kaengel]

Stark, this is a typical magical girl parody.
If you watch a random episode of Precure, that's what you'll get.

This first episode was funny as hell. I hope they're going to continue this way.

I need to start PreCure someday.

Well that was as expected very very silly, and an excellent parody of the whole magical girl thing.
Don't know whether the jokes will wear out too soon, but I enjoyed that more than I expected to.

>Implying this is BL
>Implying a series with magical girl BISHONEN is meant to be taken serious.


Come one guys.

We only need Ayumu from Korezombie as the extra ranger.

Ayumu has too much cuteness for them.

Well...I tried it...but it was just too painfully silly and...well...frankly dumb in an unfunny way for me. I could not even finish the ep.
