Ugh, why do they have to cast a stellar lead in Yuki Aoi?!
I also wonder why did she accept this kind of proposal... The title's suppose to drive prolific VAs out of this series.

So how do you know it'll be a bad show?

Well, I'm pretty sure you know the answer yourself. Besides, all I said was the title's pretty unbecoming. I never said about it being a surefire bad title Cool

It's just another classic case of ignorant people judging a book by its cover without having read a single page from it. Apparently a lot of people on this site think it's the 'in' thing to do

Well, thanks for calling me ignorant, sir. You have the insight, I get it now.
I was ignorant even after reading 42 chapters. Thus I was unable to take everything in account. Laughing

I'm looking forward to this I just really hope they change the English title. I imagine it will turn off more then a few people.

Would it be anything like Yukari Tamura and Yui Horie in B Gata H Kei which roughly translate to "B Type Slut"?

Sadly, "bitch" in Japan just doesn't have the same meaning in the west. In fact, it's quite a bit closer to the "H Kei" in B Gata H Kei. What they're aiming for is "My Girlfriend is an Easy/promiscuous Virgin".

I like the idea... and I already have it on my DVD shelf under the title of B Gata H Kei. Except...

"With two months left to live" is grounds for "With nothing left to lose". Isn't this just "taking a chance"?

The "English-speaking West", not the "West". Non-English speakers believe that bitch is synonymous of whore/slut in the West as well. Every language has "son of a whore" as go-to mother-targeting insult expect English.

Nah. Most of the time, experienced anime watchers should be able to tell whether an anime is crap or not based on the premise with high accuracy. Imho, from the looks of it, it seems that this show is lacking any depth just like "Saikin, Imouto no Yousu ga Chotto Okashiinda ga", "Shomin Sample", "Oniai", etc.

Seems like a good way to limit yourself and miss out on something good. You can do what you want but I know for me there have been more then a few anime that I thought were going to be crap and blew me away.

I'm pretty sure Aho-Girl isn't the pinnacle of anime culture either but she's in that.
