Not exactly an otome, but it has a full cast of hot guys, so close enough! (And according to wikipedia, an Android/iOS game will be released in February?)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cute_High_Earth_Defense_Club_Love!

A quick intro for those who haven't heard of it: "The story centers on the five students in the Boeibu/Defense Club (aka "a club to do nothing") at the Binan High School. Involving the battle between the two mysterious creatures came from the outer space, they have to fight against Seifukubu/Conquest Club (Student Council), as the successors to the throne "Battle Lovers.""

TL;DR: Magical boy anime that is complete satire and breaks all the magical girl tropes.

So who's all watching this series? I watched episode 1 and it was so funny I had to pause multiple times to laugh before continuing the episode. I had really high expectations for this anime, and it knocked them straight out of the park! Can't wait for episode 2! Anyone have a favorite character? I claimed Ryuu months ago, back when all I knew was his appearance, and go figure he ends up being the playboy, which is the type I usually go for xD

OMFG A GAME?! I MUST PLAY.

I'm obviously watching. I love it. Magical girl is so my area, but I was aching for more magical boy stuff. And here it arrived in harem minus the girl form! I was talking about this with Vixey a couple of days ago, so tempted to spam her with more screenshots, but Tumblr already did that to her. I first learned of this series when I was looking up the anime charts for upcoming shows a month ago, and I knew that I HAD to watch it. Didn't realize it was to come out until I happened to read Sakuragawa's post the day around its showing. Since they are all dressed up for the most part, it hasn't given me a weird-out attack, yet. I find their transformations amusing enough.

Megane-kun (can't remember anyone's names) looks off in green. Since the battle formation centers blonde boy, would he be considered the leader...? When I started watching the first episode, the first minute of exposition was... uh, what? Then came the mahou shoujo satires. The fugly mascot. The forced flowery expressions. The outfits.

As I am a fan of the Pretty Cure/Precure franchise, I could see how this show could be a direct parody of how they have created their entire series. I kept thinking of Heartcatch Precure. Also got Shugo Chara vibes. But I can only imagine the demographics. The whole childish magical girl-ness of Precure is vastly dominated by middle aged men, so this obviously not-aimed-for-little-children-but-probably-innocent-enough magical boy territory would likely be teenage to adult women.

I don't have a favorite. Doubt I will, but I enjoy the ore-sama personality of pink man. Blonde boy, especially being voiced by a woman, is enough of a girl to me to make this a reverse harem.

RIGHT?! I have a bad feeling it'll only be Japanese at first, but my fingers are crossed for a translation...

I heard about this anime MONTHS ago. But back then all we had was the name, what the characters looked like (transformed and not), and a guess that it had something to do with hot springs cause of the logo xD MAGICAL BOYS IN HOT SPRINGS?! COUNT ME IN.

The satires were BEAUTIFUL. THE SPARKLING PRINCE IS GONNA SPARKLE YOUR SPARKLES OFF. I AM AWESOME FIRE. xD The attack names just kept getting worse and it was great. I agreed that Epinard looks weird in green...especially since his element is apparently air, but he's got a clover behind him? (I can remember all of their transformed names, but regular names are still a hit and miss)

I didn't watch too much of Pretty Cure, and only the original (I think?) one at that. But it's a great parody of all magical girl animes. Definitely could feel the Shugo Chara vibe, LOVED Shugo Chara. Among my friends, the demographics are all over the places. My early twenties girl friends who typically love things like Free and otome anime of course love it. But I convinced three guys inh their early to late tewnties to watch it last night and they all loved it. The anime is getting a lot of hate so far, but it's from people who aren't watching it. If you watch it, you know the whole thing is one big joke.

Blondie/Hokane/Sparking Prince Scarlet is totally the leader. I just can't get over how much he looks like Nagisa from Free, and has the same VA xD "Looks like Nagisa decided to quit swimming and be a magical boy" lol.

Since I don't know Japanese, how does Bi... Blahblahblah Love roughly translate to the other blahblah Defense Club without "Love" in it? I must have seen something about this show months ago while browsing various Tumblrs, but I simply don't remember. What you pasted in the first post is like a synopsis of the first episode. I am more content with the description used in anilist:
Quote
The story centers on the five students in the Boeibu/Defense Club (aka "a club to do nothing") at the Binan High School. Involving the battle between the two mysterious creatures came from the outer space, they have to fight against Seifukubu/Conquest Club (Student Council), as the successors to the throne "Battle Lovers."

Of course guys who can get over how they dress and all the sparklies would find this hilarious, too, but I still imagine it would be a turn off to a lot of others who obstinately don't want to touch it, though. The fanservice and seeing men "naked" makes some guys I have seen really disgusted once they do get to it.

I ended up watching a recent Precure movie because I started thinking about it. =w=;; Still need to finish watching Free!, but thinking about their bodies continues to freak me out. But I also thought Nagisa. I saw that it was the same seiyuu in the comments some place, but people were arguing over it so I wasn't sure. I think that I'll rewatch the first ep of this show once the second comes out to reprocess information.

Oh, screw it. I'm watching it again now.

I changed the description to that one since it makes way more sense. The other description was from the poorly written wiki page...

I actually attempted to translate the title on my own to see how badly it was butchered, and it's literally "Handsome Men High School Earth Defense Club LOVE" The English version they made has LOVE at the end too, I was just too lazy to put it in the title xD I think "Binan High School Earth Defense Club LOVE" would make a better title than "cute high". Binan is the name of the school they go to so just leave that alone. And cute high sounds SO dumb.

I personally find it hilarious that guys are put off by the transformations when we've had magical girl transformations of the same nature for who knows how long. Such a double standard. You don't hear (most) females complaining about nudity in Sailor Moon, so suck it up and deal with some "nudity" in the magical boys.

Watch it! Over and over again! Sadly I have no internet access during the week accept my phone, and watching anything would kill my data @.@ Waiting til the weekend to watch this sucks...

Inevitable thread was inevitable



~~~~~~~

And this was the tumblr post/images that originally alerted me to this series last week

http://otomesiren.tumblr.com/post/107479326447/naranciaw-it-is-the-year-2015-and-this-is-a

And then Aiwei mentioned it to me and the two of us were electronically jumping up and down about it

And then I wake up today and see that there is now a discussion thread on blahblahblahLove right here on Kokoro Cafe and I'm like OF COURSE

On that note, I really need to get around to watching Free aka The Swimming Anime. But this magical boy one seems like it's on a whooooole other level by golly.

And of course otoge-loving ladiez (and menz) be all about dis.

Fufufu. I showed this to my 8 y/o sister. I think she was cool with it.

My favorite character is Hakone Yumoto's brother Gora, who's voiced by Sugita Tomokazu.(and Gintama is coming back soon X'D) He hasn't really been introduced yet so I'm anticipating that in future episodes.

These guys have really hard to pronounce names that are difficult to remember. Especially Wombat's.
Spoiler  Hidden:

There's also a spin-off manga. http://www.ponimaga.jp/comic/293

Upon reading his name, Zundar is now my favorite character.

ZUNDAAAAR
It sounds mighty majestic in that deep tone~

Once I saw Kinshirou (and his name now reminds me of NA's Kin), I thought of Ninja Assassin's Natsume. Strange how that happened. And the outfits of the nemeses make me think of Revolutionary Girl Utena.

OTOME GAME IS CONFIRMED

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-01-08/cute-high-earth-defense-club-love-smartphone-game-unveiled/.82993

But looks like it's definitely just in Japanese. Join my prayer circle as we hope for a translation lmao.

And after this post I'll likely avoid this thread until the weekend since I won't be able to watch the new episode until like Friday xD

You should definitely watch gay swimmers anime. That anime actually has WAY more plot than you'd think. And you'd imagine season 2 would be garbage made just to milk to profits a bit longer...nope. Season 2 is actually BETTER than season 1 in my opinion.

The video on that page showed the student council, including them all blushing and everything. So I'm assuming we can date them. I want the long pink haired one who is probably hella yandere @.@
