I'll wait until they announce the production company behind it before I allow myself to get excited about it.
If it's one of the two "whose names should never be spoken", then forget it.

But reverse harem is nothing new outside of Otome games. Fushigi Yuugi, Fruits Basket, Ouran, and Hana Yori Dango were some good ones just to name a few.
I doubt making it more yaoi/shounen ai is going to broaden the appeal. For one, it tends to make certain guys more uncomfy with watching it. But secondly hey girls do like straight romances too. I've had friends who personally felt 'icky' about yaoi and preferred reverse harem stuff. Personally I don't care, I enjoy yaoi and straight romance. But a lot of anime with straight romance has had huge appeal with women. (Just look at Inu Yasha & Escaflowne) I mean heck, back in the 90's we used to watch harem stuff like Tenchi! and Ah My Goddess because it was the only romance out there! |

It's an ensemble cast drama so it's probably going to be Persona-ish and give everyone a character arc while MC goes around befriending everyone. |

It was not a matter of them being a new concept or not. It was a matter of their anime adaptions selling well that often or not. Otome games adaptions do not sell that well that often. "Good" is completely subjective as well.
Uhhm, I never said making it more like a BL adaption would broaden the appeal. I said leaving room for interpretation would broaden the appeal, specifically with the different types of female otaku. It's kind of been demonstrated that works like that can sell well with the female market. As shown by stuff like Free!, Natsume, Oofuri, KNB, Project K, Yowamushi Pedal and quite a few others. Hell, UtaPri itself gets into it by playing up its BL teasing aspects while still retaining material for the otome fans. They have good crossover appeal and they do better on average than straight up romance/reverse harem works with the female market. Not talking about the male market here, most of them will ignore it simply based on the fact that it is targeting women even slightly. I already said that a few did well in the past, but that in recent years many of them have sold poorly. Look at Ore Monogatari, Say I Love, Ao Haru Ride, Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji, Hal, Amnesia, Arcana Famiglia, Hiiro no Kakera, Itazura no Kiss, Kaichou wa Maid-sama! etc. they all did horrible. Broadening the appeal is usually the better route to go. |

I wonder if you can kill all the Kiznaivers, by completely annihilating one of them in one attack. Of course if there are hundreds of Kiznaivers, then it would be problematic. Perhaps the villains will use this weakness.

Sharing your wounds with other people? So the show is about literally feeling other people's pain.

I honestly blame pairing up with Aniplex myself. Almost every time they run an original regardless of studio or team and their resume it just ends up being a clear miss for me. Commercial success, but flat out critical flops are their M.O ever since Guilty Crown IMO. There involvement enough is more then sufficient to completely turn me off this one. LWA+2 is something trigger made on their own for Anime Mirai as an animators training project with only their own input which is probably why it feels so different from something like KLK which is made largely for commercial purposes. |

If there's one thing I learned from watching studio Trigger shows its to not judge the show based off other people's opinions of it. If I had listened to the negative comments on Ninja Slayer or Kill La Kill I never would have watched and I love Ninja Slayer and Kill La Kill was my favorite Anime of 2014. So when this show comes out ignore all the Trigger hatters and watch it and see for yourself how it is and if you don't like it just don't watch and don't troll on other people's fun.

That actually sounds like an interesting idea for a plot...
...too bad it'll be ruined by Trigger's typical over-the-top attempts at "humor". Never been a fan of any their works. But knows. They may surprise me with this one. I highly doubt it, but who knows. |

This sounds bad. The characters at least. Hopefully I am proven wrong. The concept seems okay. As someone who loves both KLK and LWA (LWA more) as well as Inferno Cop and what I've seen of Ninja Slayer, I'm apprehensive about the delivery of a concept like this.

The Production Company behind it is Studio Trigger. They will be working with Okada Mari and people from past productions are doing animation design and directing (the parts that matter). check this page: person#24059 If you liked how 'Kimi no Iru Machi (OAV)' or 'Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary (movie)' were adapted or you can look at episodes he directed since he is putting it together. |
