These are almost the same thoughts I had reading this. From the premise it sounds like this would be a complete loser of an anime, but then I read: "Akiyuki Shinbo... SHAFT..." so now I want to watch it.
I actually just did a bit of an almost exclusive Akiyuki Shinbo/SHAFT 2 week marathon. After I finished Hidamari Sketch, I started watching X 365. For some reason it made me want to watch Pani Poni Dash again. So I watched it, complete with AD Vidnotes. While watching that I got Zetsubo vibes so I watched the first series plus parts of Zoku (If Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei is ever licensed I hope someone does at least half the work as the AD Vidnote guys did on Pani Poni). I was thinking of starting MoonPhase also but then other stuff came up. |

So, a pseudo-yuri series with a cross-dressing character, done by Akiyuki Shinbo & SHAFT?
Fantastic! |

| Seeing Morioka's and SHAFT's names on this series means I'll at least give it a look. I wouldn't say no to Aya Hirano reprising her CD role, either (*crosses fingers*). She's a great voice talent, but I haven't been interested in any of the shows she's done since Haruhi Suzumiya. |

| Quote: | | The story centers on a sophomore named Kanako who enrolls in all-girls school because she has a phobia of men and wants find her destined yuri partner. She meets a captivating freshman named Mariya who fits her criteria — except her seemingly ideal mate happens to be a cross-dressing sadistic boy. |
Wow, that is just a little bit creepy if you ask me. Makes me wonder how this series could ever be a comedy though. |

Not in today's world at least. But I am sure this type of series wouldn't be as common as it is today ten or twenty years ago. Times sure have changed, some for the better, some not so. |

| So it didn't mention it, so I will assume it doesn't. But just to make sure, this doesn't have anything to do with xxxHOLiC, right? |

I was wondering when someone might ask that. I doubt there is any relation to that series, but then again, there could be.
When I read that there is a crossing dressing male, I instantly thought Ranma 1/2, so anything is possible I suppose. |

| Maybe the name is a parody of Marimite for sure... |

| I can imagine a number of Marimite references along with other yuri related references and tropes popping up either through Kanako or totally randomly in the background. |

Why not? It's nice to see someone to make fun to the yuri genre at least for once, in the same way like The Wallflower makes fun of the bishounen/yaoi genre too. |
