Thoughts on this upcoming series for the summer? I read the description on MAL and looked somewhat interesting.
Quote:

One day, a strange transfer student appears before Tsubaki. Urabe Mikoto is an antisocial girl, whose hobby is just sleeping during class-breaks. One day, Tsubaki goes to wake her up and accidentally tastes her drool... And gets hooked on that!

After that, he starts going out with her and gets to know her better. Her second hobby, as it turns out, is carrying around scissors in her panties and cutting paper into flowers...
(MAL summary)

The part about the ecchi as its genre..hmm, hopefully will have a real storyline. I've yet to read the manga Confused

I think it's hilarious that Hoods is doing this. I read the first ~20 or so chapters many years ago and it's not really ecchi. Not a good choice of production studio for this.

I really wish they would release a promo video already. Also there is a good story for this, its not all ecchi (actually not really ecchi at all, just weird). Anyways check out the manga if your not sure, its good stuff.

Really hoping Crunchyroll picks this up.

It's not that ecchi (though spoiler[there's one chapter where Tsubaki fondles Urabe's breast under her sweater]). Very fetish-y, though. When Oka was first introduced, a girl friend of mine dropped it like a sack of potatoes thinking it would turn into a yuri story. But there's no such thing.

Well, the best thing for now is a promo video of the drama CD, which uses the same voice actors that will appear in the anime. Check it out if you like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOgE_gxYw8Y

(btw, that's not how Urabe sounds in my head when I read the manga... which I already imported from CD japan, just be clear)

The anime promo pic looks pretty sexied-up compared to the original (if it was, in fact, based on it).

Because you haven't read its recent chapters.

i wouldn't label this as an ecchi series, there are a couple of moments like when spoiler[Urabe is naked in the robot costume and the whole cultural festival arc ending] and spoiler[Tsubaki fondling Urabe's breast under her jumper] but thats pretty much it, for 95% of the series there is no ecchi material
