Wow, color me interested. This seems like a completely different direction from where noitaminA has been going lately, so I'm really curious to see how this turns out. The fact that it uses the "latest CG techniques" is almost enough to give me pause, though; I'll have to see a trailer or something to decide how I feel about that.

I suspect that if the content is as adult as it seems from the description, though, we probably won't be seeing a simulcast in the US any time soon Shocked

AIC Build, of Ore no Imouto and Boku Tomo, is doing a bara anime? Its kinda early to do an April Fools joke isn't it?

Gay erotic manga inspires show [Well, no chance I'm watching this] ...on Fuji TV's late-night Noitamina block [What the...? um okay, maybe]

and yes, Ryan had me double-checking the calendar, yep, just March 28

"Explicit sado-masochistic experiences" combined with "the latest CG techniques". On principle I'm all for unorthodox anime, but no part of that is anything I would describe as appealing innovation.

Well, that's one way to do something new. Have never heard of a bara anime before.

I think this might be too extreme for me though. I wouldn't mind seeing a "manly men" gay anime, but I dunno about the s&m and other stuff.

I think this really is the end of Noitamina if they are now resorting to doing adaptions of smut yaoi manga. What happened to making high quality anime outside of the norm? At least the otaku stuff they've made recently has mainstream appeal...

a bara anime? Wow, this will definately interesting. Granted the guys tend to be a bit too hyper-masculine for my taste (I do love my men to be manly...just not of Zangief level Laughing )

Gonna have to keep an eye out for this, at least for the sake of novelty

I think it's rather outside the norm for the anime industry to recognize there's a side of homosexuality outside of "funny" drag-queens and made-for-women yaoi...

Well, guess they didn't like to have stuff that actually sells on their block after all.

Edit: Oh, LOL, it was false. Man, the 1st of April came early this year.
Oh, and I LIKED Guilty Gear and hope to see more stuff like it.

Yeah, thats about what I expected. Its too crazy to expect something like this on Noitamina and by AIC Build of all companies.
