Ohsaka will be fine as the lead, only heard Akasaki as Nibutani in Chuu2, should be fine though a different voice of course. Surprised to see Yukari get Masuzu, thought her days of landing main roles were over but she'll definitely do a great job... she's a lot more than just Nanoha... Kanemoto and Kayano I both like a lot too, don't know the characters they play though.
This "newbie" seems to be the next "it" male seiyuu, he's going to get quite the push from 2013 onwards... he's already voicing the leads of 2 Winter 2013 series in this and Hataraku Maou-sama. He's only done or about to do 8 roles, 5 of them will be lead characters. Last edited by Westlo; 2012-10-13 at 22:21. |

Actually, Yukarin's serious voice is very sexy. I'm surprised some people are put off by her.
Sure, I as many others here fist thought of Saito (and Yukana in my case as well) when reading Masuzu's lines, but Yukarin is just as good.

This is like saying Saito couldn't make serious voices, since she's limited to her Luccini type of voice. Both of them have good range.

OreShura might be a good chance to hear her do that type of role again. I should put more faith in her years of experience as a veteran seiyuu.

>Eita enters high school aiming for the National University School of Medicine. Because of his parents' divorce—and his goal—he shuns anything to do with romance or love.
Gee, how ironic would it be if a lot of girls fell in love with him? The irony would be hilarious! >One day Masuzu, the school beauty with the silver hair, who has just returned to the country, enters his life in a most unexpected way. Nope, nope, nope. >Chiwa, his childhood friend since elementary school, will not let this go without a fight. NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE. I envy whoever makes a living from thinking up these gutter-worthy stories. |

I honestly expect it to be a horrible piece of trash, judging from the premise alone. Of course I could be wrong, but a story that starts with such abhorrent cliches isn't something I can get excited for unless it deviates in a more creative direction at some early point.

It's definitely one of the better romcoms in existence, primarily due to the strong male and female leads (talking about Masuzu here, not the childhood friend). Are you just a pitiful troll, or why are you dissing an entire genre without having the faintest bit of a clue?
Seriously, some people... why don't you watch some Pokemon and leave us alone? |

It's not dissing the entire romcom genre , it's dissing the premise of guy not interested in love meets beautiful girl and also has a childhood friend in love with him.There's other ways to do romcoms. This way sounds like its been done plenty of times before. Though personally I don't really care how "generic" something is as song as it's done well so I'll just wait and see.

If the premise doesn't immediately manage to differentiate the work from every single other romcom out there, why would you expect anyone to be excited about it? If he's anything like me, he avoids romcoms not because he dislikes romcoms themselves, but rather because of how cookie-cutter they have become, and because of how light novels (which used to be more along the lines of escapist fantasy) have been inextricably associated with them for one reason or another. Of course execution is what matters more than anything and even a weak premise and generic scenario can become something interesting in the hands of a capable writer, but you can hardly blame a person for looking at this series and noticing the extremely long title (even starting with "Ore no"!), love triangle, dull-sounding brownhair protagonist, and considering it anathema.

Sorry guys, but this is patently stupid, if you will excuse my French.
Rant mode on It's getting annoying on several anime blogs who are disrespectfully dissing 90% of the anime coming out today in their venomous echo chamber, where I wonder why the hell they're doing it. They have NO CLUE about the material in itself, but they still feel not only to denigrate the works anyway, because their taste in anime is so superior. Then again, it's your own fault to go to these blog cesspools, just avoid them. BUT. I'd really appreciate if people could stop spewing ignorant crap on popular anime forums like AS. I really want to keep this kind of mental pollution to a minimum here. So seriously folks, either get a clue about what you're writing BEFORE you barf on AS, or leave to greener pastures, thank you very much. The blog cesspools I mentioned can house a lot more toads. Rant mode off As one of the guys who has actually followed the light novels and the mangas of OreShura, I can say that the twist behind this show is pretty interesting. Both the male lead and the female lead _genuinely_ abhor romance. It's not just them being tsundere about it, they both hate it for understandable reasons, just like there's a good reason why they (pretend to) date anyway. Watching them very gradually change their minds is pretty entertaining to me. Whoever manages to supply me with a good romcom based on the same setup with the same strengths (excellent interesting characters and good interaction) wins a cookie. And whoever dislikes the romcom genre in itself is wrong here to begin with and should please relocate. It's as stupid as walking into Gundam forums and complaining why there's always mecha battles. |

I admit that my expectations were off. And yes, my "criticism" was trollish and could have been a lot more eloquent. But you're essentially telling me that I'm obligated to read the source material before having expectations about this anime, which is ridiculous. I'm not going to skim through the novel for your sake, because when I start reading a book or manga, I read it with the intent of finishing it. If the creators pitched a misleading summary, then you can blame them. Thanks for the info. I feel even less interested in this anime now that I know what the plot is really like. I despise how the MC lets himself be manipulated and exploited by a horrible, disgusting woman. I despise how this nightmarish predicament will probably be played off for laughs, like we're just supposed to "accept" the MC's pathetic defeat, humiliation, and demoralization and treat it as an fact of life. |

Tempester, I for one, don't really like to read love comedies and harem stories, except for a select few. I never thought of picking up OreShura until I heard that it had sold over a 100,000 copies in just 5 to 6 months with 2 volumes, 2 drama CDs in the works, and 3 manga serializations. That's a top-notch performance for a novel serialization that only had 2 volumes (then) and is of a love comedy + harem genre (which pretty much makes up over 50% of light novels these days). I gave it a try and it entered my regular reading list. People who know me know that love comedies (especially those with harems) made up less than 20% of my regular reading list. I have dropped many after volume 1 (OniAi, Mayo Chiki, IS, and a bunch of other MF Bunko titles which I'm not going to try to remember). Note that I'm not advocating that this is really a great series, or it has outstanding writing, unique characters, a great plot, all of which can be subjective (Just that it happens to fit some of my eccentric reading requirements and touch on things that I'm personally interested in). But I'm just sharing my experience here. There are series which one has to get into to really know what it's like, and there are series which one can form judgments and expectations from summaries and reviews alone. This is one of the former types for me personally. As for you, I have no idea which type would it be and it's for you to decide. While it's perfectly fine for you to start making judgments at such an early stage, whether they are ill-formed or not, I'm sure most of us will appreciate it if you can keep the more extreme ones, which are not backed by intimate knowledge of the content, to yourself. |

See, that actual premise is a lot better. Why they couldn't sell that instead of the generic one I don't know.
That said, I can still see the anime being significantly worse than the source material. Any story reliant on subtlety usually is. But what the hell, I'll give it a shot. I need to stop being so bitter about things anyway. Last edited by Tyabann; 2012-11-17 at 03:42. |
