It's boobs for boobs. Inevitably someone's gonna watch it.

As long as it sells, and I think Sentai is pretty sure it will, then it's all good.

From what I heard it's equally as bad as Diabolik Lovers. Plot wise. The only selling point is it's fanservice.

As did I, not a great show but nowhere near bad as people make it out to be. Jolly good fun for all twelve episodes.

Pleasantly surprised it's getting a dub though, was gonna buy regardless but nice to know there'll be even more rewatch value.

It says on ANN that Jessica Nigri will take the role of Sonico. I highly doubt it, but it would be pretty interesting. Not that I was even that invested in this show. Girl seemed a little too Mary Sue for my taste.

Also, I'm kinda worried I'll pronounce Jessica's last name wrong. Anime smile + sweatdrop

You heart wrong. Diabolik was completely offensive in it's rape oriented fanservice. The only offensive thing in Sonico would be the weird Sentai parody in one of the episodes.

She hasn't actually been announced as of yet, but between their twitter/FB hints last month:

And Jessica posting this :

It's pretty much assumed that she is.

-edit-
And now that I see the prelim cover art, it actually confirms it.

It's not really all fanservice. Some episodes have more of a slice-of-life feel. It's hit or miss for me, but I didn't find it that bad.

Wow. I totally wasn't expecting this to get a dub, but I'm glad it is Very Happy
This ended up becoming one of my favorite shows, and I am totally a dub watcher, so this is perfect for me.

Also, I honestly don't remember there being that much fanservice at all.

To be honest, I'd have preferred a dub on Golden Time than this but since they probably got it for cheap, they can gamble on stunt casting a cosplayer as the lead.

At least I have other planned purchases for that month so I suppose it doesn't matter. (I hope that the rumors of a Magical Warfare dub are false. That ending was probably one of the worst I've seen in a while)

I'm pleasantly shocked that Super Sonico is getting an English version and on top of that, Jessica Nigri is in it as Sonico! Very Happy I'm going to watch this show the instant it's done. I'm hoping the dub will fare well.
