Kinda what I expected after that domain being registered. Nice to know though.

It's Dog Days all over again, except that Dog Days turned out to be great overall, I can't say the same for this. Hopefully this won't end up like Fantasista Doll which didn't turn out well since the production staff tried to force the game down your throat.

With so many female characters, could we see a series where it is just one episode dedicated to each girl?

that would be like 100+ eps. Just 13 eps focus on one girl would be better.

So in Date a Live, where the beta male had a "phone girlfriend" whom he treated real {Like Her, only more depressing}, this was pretty much it, right?

Since a parody of it already reached anime, it's now time for the real non-thing!

Why am I picturing a third person POV shot with a three minute segment involving each girl? Even then, it'd only cover about 91 or so girls so, let's say, "men" who "girlfriends are those 9 "girls" will feel left out...

I see nothing {but good things} coming out of this show!

So agree ≧(´▽`)≦
She's the only reason i play this game,and judging from GF Kari previous popularity poll,she ranked 5th so it is very likely she will appear in the anime.


GF Kari CM perhaps will give a hints about how the anime will looks like.

Laughing True, but I wouldn't be calling for so many episodes.

And, just knowing how many girls there are in this dating sim, I'd say that it leans towards a Photo Kano like structure or harem. Would be extremely surprised to see it focus on one girl due to the "what about my waifu" rule that seems to permeate these kind of series.

Gotta try and please as many fans as possible by making sure "their girl" gets enough/satisfying screen time and development with the MC.

Now, with someone mentioning popularity polls...top 6 getting 2 episodes each gives us the nice 12 episode number.

Honestly, I even wonder if they will make this a story with that sort of "MC" at all, or rather if they'll just try to create some sort of story that features all the girls interacting with each other. The latter seems like the more common way to adopt this sort of content these days, rather than the sort of bishoujo-game adaptation approach from the past. It's not an idol anime, but I tend to think they're going to want to sort of aim towards a Love Live feel if they can.

Your guess is as good as mine.

Just seeing "romance simulation" in the article makes me think we'll get a generic MC with either a harem or story arcs focused on one girl.
