Takahiro Sakurai, huh? That's the guy who played Yukiatsu from Anohana..... I think this'll work out.

five girls who seem normal attend the school due to "certain reasons." A sixth student "with reasons" named Yūji Kazami transfers in. Yūji has an ego with such darkness that he does not fade in comparison to the five girls, who are so different from the norm....When Yūji arrives, a story of girls who are trapped by their pasts begins.

Main parts of the synopsis that caught my eye.

Will this protagonist actually have a personality? Laughing

The first thing he does in the game is make a "your mom" joke to a police officer (and get arrested shortly afterward), so yes, I would say he does.

Hehe. The pic and description of the protagonist seem very much like something Sakurai would be a good casting choice for. Less excited for the setting and "plot" so far.

I thought the opposite of him as Cyborg 009 in the 2001 TV version but felt that Joshua Seth was awesome as that role.

Will consider watching as it falls under the harem spectrum.

Worry not, this protagonist actually has a personality, and a really interesting one.
You won't be disappointed, unless the studio screws it (which is probably going to happen anyway, but oh well).

I'm just worried about the way they're going to adapt it, but the visuals look gorgeous. Takahiro Sakurai was certainly a good choice for Yuuji.

Don't say that! Be optimistic. I know nothing about the game, but seeing the description of the MC has me optimistic right now. I will remain so until those working on the anime release promo material that give me reason to not be optimistic. Laughing

Laughing Would like that to be his intro in the anime!

Hah, that's great! As I said, his description was one thing that caught my eye.

Looking forward to this anime.

This one has a typical VN plot structure. So, 5 girls, each with her own storyline and her own problems. The second and the third game have a central story that would be more interesting for people who don't tolerate the "cute girls with issues" schtick, but I doubt the anime will cover that.
