LOL I just read all the available chapters last week Anime hyper

It's okay, if they do 1 ep = half volume, it'll turn out well.

Oh come on, do you REALLY need the plot?
This is just another crappy harem romcom LN with a loser pervert or Gary Stu protagonist in a highschool setting that involves some contract with beautiful girls... like basically the last 50 shows we got from that medium in the past 2 years. And they were never good or even average. By now even the most dense user should have noticed that these shows will never amount to anything more than filler at best and be unbelieveable dumb at worst.


I'd say the same if I don't think that monogatari series has one of the best twists of human psychology as its plot device. Though surely it's just personal opinion as I've seen many who don't enjoy it. Now maybe if I can recall just one other title of the same stereotype that is good.

Anyway, I'd also call em those "light novels with the cover displaying series of heroine characters (with complete lack of male character even though he's the mc) posing cute or sexy often with gratuitously sexy costume which most of the time feels forced".

I don't mind it, though. A little tired maybe.

A lot of harems are generic in their tropes but that's why various people may like them and because of the fan service.

Commenting on how the anime by numbers trend is SUPET prevalent doesn't imply that anyone was intending to watch it. It's a discussion buddy.

Anyway, I need a montage of LN/manga covers that look exactly like this one, and share similar plots, and ultimately go no where. I'm not saying this is gonna be as bad as magic high school (which I liked) but I'll be damned if I fall for that time sink plot again.

Fighting harem LN into anime could become even more of a trend.

All I know about this series is that it has nice-looking ladies and some actions scenes (IIRC, it has mecha or mecha-like devices. I coyld be wrong here, though).

I saw on a later article that A-1 Pictiures will animate this series.
