Wow, I like the quality of this. Hopefully it won't be censored much but the PV actually impressed me from what I've seen.

Catchy theme song as well.

Animation looks solid, and the OP sounds fitting with the general theme of the series.

Hearing Amamiya Sora voicing Mīa sounded a bit odd; I can't quite put my finger on it, but she just sounds different... I guess. I don't know, maybe it'll grow on me or she'll use different tone when the show actually airs - like how in Ore Monogatari!!'s PVs, Han Megumi sounded too high-pitched (borderline squealing even) as Yamato Rinko, but in the actual airing her tone was lower-pitched and mellower.

I know people have said good things about the manga, but I honestly didn't know what to expect from the show itself.

After watching the PV I now find myself optimistically looking forward to it however. I'm impressed by what's been shown so far, looks like it will be a quality production (hopefully). So I'll definitely be watching come the start of the Summer season.

Also Sora Amamiya as Miia, I approve. Smile

Hopefully the nichijou(everyday life) aspect of this show takes a back seat. This could have potential. I'll give it a few episodes at the very least.

Can't wait, the manga is so funny.

Am I the only one that's really, REALLY unhappy about the voice actresses on this show? I've read the manga so I can pretty much say that, by now, I have a grasp of the personalities of each character, and OH BOY DO THEY SOUND FUCKED UP!

I hope it's just the line they're reading and not actually the general tone of their characters... I mean, only Centoria and Melo sound kind of close to how their personalities are

This is just my opinion, maybe I'm wrong and the anime might prove me wrong. But this PV just leaves me with a bad aftertaste

With opinions you can't be 'wrong', just 'not mainstream'.

I had the idea Miia had a more Lum like voice.

I was surprised at the animation quality. It's clear they put some money into this production. Not a fan of the music though which I found obnoxious.

The choice of VA for Papi ios a good one, and Centorea's voice at least sounds good enough to be passable.
Miia's voice is a disappointment, though. Her role is a role that was screaming for the voice of someone like Nao Toyama. That would have been pitch perfect.

Wait, MON is also presented? They're going two-cour?

Apparently nipples don't require lightbeams if they're the same color as the rest of the skin.

I cannot wait for the silliness to begin. Of course expect those T&A jokes, but hey that's the whole point of the show. This might be the one harem show I can get behind.

Goodness, that was beautiful. Please please please let Funimation get this so we have a guaranteed English dub! And PLEASE let Brittany Karbowski play Miia!

They wouldn't need to go two-cour to show MON.
