Looks average to me. My expectations for the series isn't very high at the moment.

It could be pretty funny depending on how's it's executed.

Looks fun. Looking forward to seeing this and getting the manga from Kodansha USA. Volume 1 comes out a couple of weeks before the anime debuts in Japan.

This looks like a trainwreck. If they were doing a proper adaptation, some of the characters in the PV shouldn't appear until the later episodes of the 2nd cour. This being a 1 cour, it seems like they will do a very bad adaptation.

And I hate the way they are doing Yamada, he looks and sounds way too childish, and doesn't feel like the delinquent he is, but just another dumb kid.

I hope I get surprised.

That is very peculiar with showing characters later in the story in the PV. I hope the material doesn't get rushed. I think I would agree on the point with Yamada. His character design doesn't exactly flatter me. The rest of the characters look fine though. Depending on how they execute this, this could be a very funny show, or it could be a complete train wreck. I see that fanservice will be prominent in the show, which, depending on how much and how they use it, could be good or bad.

12 episodes are not going to cut it for this anime. it should be 26, that should be enough to have a manga ending of the first Arc.

Could the characters that appear in the PV, being from later chapters, be down to them using the OVA for parts of it? Some of the scenes looked familiar to me, and I've not read the manga...

So, should Japanese high schools post safety warnings on school staircases to prevent bodyswapping? Confused

(At least Kokoro Connect pointed out how cliche'd the trope was by now.)
