| I loved the ED to KanColle (in fact it may be my favourite song from any anime of the year so far). Here's hoping the OP to this anime will be as good as that was. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| AOTEverything. |
 |
| looks cute as shit plus isnt this 2 cour? |
| not really digging the designs its too childish??? ... and also two cour? why can't rakudai get 2 cour... T.T |
 |
| chars design look good though what with the 2 small kids Saya Sasamiya and Todo Kirin :> |
 |
| Like the character design but it's still meh. |
 |
| I thought it was either Ono Kensho or Saitou Soma for Ayato when I listened to the voice samples a few days ago. I also thought it would be Takahashi Minami for Kirin. I did get Julis right though. I believe there's also an announcement for a game but details for that will be until it premieres. Though there's claim of 2-cour, I don't see any source from it. It solves some issues with the pacing if that's true. This and Rakudai airing at the same time just spells trouble. |
 |
| Look's cool, is this yet anther Harem though?? Still, Love the design on the blades..so that's a plus, I guess |

Both of them are totally not going to get compared to every other harem show, especially those that take place in a battle school, within the last couple years by people who dislike that type of anime. I'll probably ending up watching both anyway though. |

 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Designs are ok. But it annoys me as to why they'e blocking the video on my country! |
Mystic_Z said: There are only two thing worth noting for similarity. One is tournament setting and the other is MC who have limit break. But even then it's still very different in application.belatkuro said: This and Rakudai airing at the same time just spells trouble. I'm curious why you say this?

| I'm not sure this will be 2 cour anymore... Character designs looks underwhelming imo. Mixed thoughts on this. |
 |
| Echii/harem anime with action are always good and enjoyable |
| Cast hardly matters for crap like this. No voice actor in the world can save these magical school light novel adaptations. |

MaxXZoe said: not really digging the designs its too childish??? ... and also two cour? why can't rakudai get 2 cour... T.T Yeah, the designs are way too childish I saw them and was like: "Wait why don't they look like there LN designs?" They're really nothing like them. |

vodall said: Wait, do people care about seiyuu enough to get excited for a show because of them? It's enough to get me to watch it, I guess. belatkuro said: I thought it was either Ono Kensho or Saitou Soma for Ayato when I listened to the voice samples a few days ago. Yeah, Atsushi sounds like OnoK. |
vodall said: mayukachan said: It's enough to get me to watch it, I guess. Not attempting to flame, I simply didn't know. My caring for voice actors only goes so far as "I like her voice" or "oh cool, ___ has the same voice actor as ___", so I'm a little out of the loop. For me, it's like following a celebrity so it's much more than just "oh they have the same voice" but like, I actually read facts and watch their real life events :P |
| Will this became a good anime? |

| Oh, this reminds me. I'm the founder of the Gakusen Toshi Asterisk wikia. I completely forgot. O.o |
| I read the LN and the Manga, I think it's Get an 'Okay'. Hope the Anime will Became a Good Anime. |

NICKAIL said: No.Will this became a good anime? |
| I know Kirin is supposed to be the youngest of the cast, but looking at this they might have overdone it too much,. Hopefully it will look better once the anime airs. |
| As long as it is not Yuki Kaji, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, or Natsuki Hanae voicing the male lead, I am very fine with this. Their voice are too common now. |

| I hope they will cover at least finish The Phoenix Festival arc. |
