The trailer doesn't reveal that much, but at least you can say it doesn't look like shit yet. Maybe we finally get something premium gay again.

Yaoi is disappointment, so I'm only cautiously optimistic.

Well this is a Noitamina, those tend to be decent when they're not sci fi, action, or mysteries.

when they're not sci fi, action, or mysteries.

And sports shows that aren't called Ping Pong.

Well this is a Noitamina, those tend to be decent when they're not sci fi, action, or mysteries.

This is what makes me cautiously optimistic, they have some standard of quality control.

I browsed through the manga and it looks pretty good. Yeah, I'm looking forward to this.

 

[ZetsubouKaiji]

Looks neat or at least better than the low effort yaoi trash we usually get.

 

[Franconator]

noitaminA, you say? Well, shit, count me in, I've always enjoyed their SOLs and down-to-earth shows.

 

[Thrawn]

And sports shows that aren't called Ping Pong.

Homegirl be right, Ping Pong Club is the only non-gay but still kinda gay because they looked at Madea's horse dong sports show we need, even if PPC isn't notimA or whatever you call reverse animated.

 

[trottolina]

Well I think this is more invested in the relationships between the characters than silly situations (or cliche ones) or x-rated scenes, so yes I am hopeful too.

 

[Starletka]

Is it summer yet?

 

[mickeyx0x0]

Are we finally going to get a BL anime with good animation and illustration? I am h y p e d

 

[soleilsun]

Yaoi/Shounen-ai animes usually have terrible animation, and I hope this one isn't like that. It looks quite promising, so I hope it isn't reduced to some generic yaoi thing.

 

[SilverRibbons13]

This actually looks really good, I've been pretty much deprived of LGBT anime with good animation since Yuri on Ice, and the synopsis looks pretty interesting. It actually kind of reminds me of Your Lie In April? Either way, I think I can safely say that I'll be giving this a watch.

 

[Rascal]

I would say you yaoi fans are lucky ducks for having Lerche do your summer anime (I had seen they were doing a thing and got excited as I always do but turns out it's this), but the director is completely unknown.

At least the visual quality will probably be 100% consistent, but that's about the only thing we can count on here.

 

[jarpad]

Everyone's optimism is rubbing off on me and I'm getting pretty hyped too

I have really loved this manga and knowing such a good BL is getting an adaptation makes me so excited I hope it is a full 1 cour series like 12 eps or even more and not just one of those ovas with 1 episode!
