Hm.
It's about... time, I guess? I honestly thought they were just going to skip that part of the franchise life-cycle, because it's not really necessary - they already have all the visibility (and merchandise making) that an anime gets you. But I guess it's still a way for them to make money on it. Since the game has a story, it'll probably follow the game's story. Which is... pretty basic bishounen-collector-game stuff, just with a different arrangement of sob stories and quirky sides (triangle~). It's okay. I feel like Autumn and Winter are a lot more interesting than Spring and Summer (especially what I've heard about Toyonaga Toshiyuki's character) but I didn't get up to them in the game. (Though, I admit that part of my disappointment was how platonic everything is, except that some of them flirt with the bland self-insert POV character, and even that was like a caricature of flirting... there's an otokonoko boy, but other than that, it's all way too plain for me...) I wonder if they'll string this out like EnStars did (unless EnStars really was held up by that issue, though it doesn't seem like it would have been). |

There’s a PV for it already wherein the staff and the studio is listed.
That said, finally! I’ve been expecting an anime ever since the game became a hit 2 years ago, and I’m really glad to see that the art style will remain faithful to the original. I hope it airs this year! [/url] |

Its taken so long for A3 to get an anime, I was almost thinking it wouldn't happen. I'm haply for the fans though, so which there are tons, this is one of the most popular female focused mobages ever.
Weird that its the Black Fox team at 3Hz doing it though? I mean I'm sure the anime will look great but I guess it mean Black Fox itself is being delayed a while? |

Damn. Now even PAW and 3Hz have a fujobait title. I hoped at least they can avoid it.

Good news, but a word on the english release would be really nice. It's been 6 months since it was announced. Is it cancelled? Put on the backburner? Who knows...

1. A3 is not fujo unless you count show with majority male cast as fujo. 2. Fujo shows are untapped market and are bigger at least than yuri shows because their have more dedicated fanbase. There are similar amount yuri and yaoi show becouse anime more often target male audience. Plus fujo show recently get better treatment and target broader audience with shows about gay ice skater, gay mafia, propably gay kappa than old low quality yaoi and nowdays yuri shows about female lolicons. Sorry for my bad english. |

Yaoi is hardly an untapped market, lots of Yaoi series do really well. Also we always get more Yaoi anime than Yuri. So many people think Yuri does well because a lot of men watch anime, it doesn't. Men generally speaking want harem series or at least fan service. Romance Yuri often don't do super well and really isn't a very profitable market unfortunately. Also people ignoring that a ton of women watch anime and read manga, the Yaoi market is really booming. You say that Yuri/Yuri-Bait anime is all about lolicons "these days" when that's incredibly near sighted, we've had 1 last season and 1 this season. That's it. Plus neither of those are really Yuri anime, the Yuri elemental is only played up for comedy. Additionally you seem to be forgetting the best Yuri romance anime we've ever gotten that also aired last season, "Bloom Into You". It's not hyper sexualized and focuses on character growth. There's no lolicons and it can be watched by general audiences. It's doing okay in sales, but is still dwarfed by the massive Yaoi market when it comes to sales. I'd argue it's the best anime with a canon queer relationship since Yuri on Ice. Yuri on Ice is kind of the pillar of Yaoi anime series in terms of having a healthy established canon relationship, at least as far as I know. I get a lot information from my female friends that talk about their thoughts on Yaoi series, and you want to talk about lolicons? Let's instead talk about how "Super Lovers" got two seasons and is an extremely creepy Yaoi series that focuses on grooming and has sexual assault. I've been told at least that the manga has assault of a minor by an adult, this very same manga has sales that are better than any Yuri manga as well. Lots of Yaoi manga and games still have problems with being rape centric from what I've heard. |

It's like any show that has more than one male character in it is now considered fujobait. People are ridiculous. |

Translation: "I hate when we're not about me!" Also idol (or idol-like) anime aren't inherently fujobait, in fact I'd argue most of them aren't fujobait at all because all the guys go after the female love interest, or are otherwise focused on their work. Unless your argument is that any anime with two or more guys is fujobait in which case, most anime are. |

You forgot about Happy Sugar life and we don't have more yaoi anime than yuri anime. BL is untapped market becouse is very often about specific fetish not for plot. MDZS popular gay novel in China who have plot got chinese anime and do pretty well there at streaming but they remove homo becouse censorship. YoI with gay undertones sold more disc than AoT. Banana Fish won Tokyo anime award (Yoi too). 10dance seinen manga about homo dancing win Anime Japan poll for most wanted anime adaptation. BL have much more potential but Japan use BL for cheap fetish like Super Lovers. |

Oh wow, it’s about time A3 got an anime considering how popular it is lol I only got around to playing the game a little bit, but I’ll definitely check out the anime.
Honestly, I’m so tired. Just because an anime has a male cast does not mean it is yaoi/BL, and I’m just so tired of seeing people insult them just because it doesn’t appeal to them. It’s better for everyone if you just stayed in your lanes. |

Can you blame me for forgetting about Happy Sugar Life? That's honestly something I think most of us can agree is better forgotten. We've gotten several Yuri anime in the past couple of years, the most in a long time but I'd say we get at least a more steady stream of Yaoi. I'd also say Citrus and NTR trap aren't good. Banana Fish is a solid series from what I know of it, but I also hear people debate on if it should be considered a Yaoi series or not. I don't want to get into one of those debates myself. I think most of us can agree that regardless of sexuality a larger amount of series with great romance between well written characters would all be all around appreciated. Also I think you mean the entire world that fetishizes and markets everything. Lots of stereotyping in Western media and entertainment, even done by gay people. At the end of the day and regardless of sexuality the world is a crazy horny place largely run by greed. |

I was thinking when it would be getting an anime too. It was strange to me because how much it BOOMED back in just one month compared to the first month downloads of utapri's mobile game. And to you saying about it is related to BL is always going to happen.... I keep seeing a lot of men (not all) go about how just with a majority male cast or two male main characters HAS to equal BL. I kid you not; go to any BL where there is comments and all there is saying how gross and awful it is despite the fact that there are so many other videos for those people to see. I personally do not care if it GL or BL or whatever as long as I like the plot. I could care less on what type of romance it would play as long as I find the chemistry good and how it goes along with the plot. But not everyone is like that. I wish they would ignore it but they kinda end up not doing so. It's as if just knowing BL exists is a bad thing. Maybe this is just me but I've never really seen these types of comments with GL or anything with a mostly female cast. |
