I haven't read the LN yet, only manga so far. Probably 1 cour show most likely.

Isn't the title yet another excuse to justify a male student in an all-girls school............ Guess they're getting that out of the way right from the get-go.

More LN adaptations can only ever be a good thing! Probably the best source for adapting into anime, very, very rare I've seen a bad series based on a LN.

Synopsis sounds interesting to me.

Just kidding. I don't know if this will be any good, but I'll give it a try anyway.

Also, ANN didn't mention this lovely part of the synopsis:

However, the school leaders also seem to have concluded [the MC is] a homosexual with a muscle fetish. When Kimito hears that the alternative may be castration (to protect the girls' purity), he eagerly plays along with this misconception.

Yuuuup. Because this terrible premise wasn't terrible enough!

Kinda figured it would get a anime adaptation after looking at the manga version.

For those who haven't checked it out, just know that there is a loli in it that likes to take her clothes off.

Yes, and then there another show about girls in a survival or music club, and another show about mechs, etc. They make shows based on what sells, and haven't tried to do anything original in years. Even shows that are praised as unique, say psycho pass, are just copied from another medium like film or literature, but are just as cliched.

The only thing more cliched than these shows, are people coming on and saying, "well that is cliched."

It's worse; The creative work for Light Novels is split between 50% character designs, 50% title and 5% premise and story. Give or take 5%, of course. At least Hollywood knows to put less time in coming up with a title and more time on design.

Anyway, this shortened title should be Ojougak as it's the sound the audience will make after watching it.

I'm not sure of the premise, the character designs look tired, the one in twin tails looks literally tired too and not only is the plot "insert male character here" ready, it seems incidental. I'd still watch it if it had a good cast.
