On the positive side, it looks like each "parallel universe" is going to get sufficient time budget to tell an interesting story about each "heroine".

The Amagami SS staff is (safely and wisely for $$$) taking the parallel universe route it seems... I'm more okay with that than some ridiculous "gotta catch 'em all" series (though I still enjoyed the ensemble reweaving idea the best, I'm clearly in the minority there).

Hiro/Miyako Kyousuke/Kei (cut almost entirely out of the anime due to time and pacing constraints. In the game, it apparently takes place after Hiro/Miyako, but in the anime it seems to take place simultaneously and feels like a last minute "pair the spares" as a result.) Renji/Chihiro Kuze/Mizuki Yuu/Yuuko So basically, the five couples you saw in the anime with Kei's story getting shafted (pun intended). I do agree that EF had much easier to adapt source material. Unfortunately I have the suspicion that difficulty in adaptation is what's preventing adaptations for a number of fairly strong VNs.

On the bright side, this pretty much forces me to watch girls 1-4, and I would probably watch 6 just for completion's sake. I was originally planning to watch just Sakurai's, but I guess you know what they said about the best laid plans...

It has a director with a good track record. Directed: Kaleido Star, Sketchbook, Solty Rei and Working. Also worked on Aria the Natural, Vandread and Kannagi a bit. Also directed ep 3 of Mayoi Neko one of the non sucky episodes of that series and it was character driven something that this series will be about character developing. So I expect something that's in the range of being at least semi good to real good here, don't expect anything bad/disaster like.

I don't have particularly high expectations for this (though I don't think it can go terribly wrong with Hiraike directing), but I definitely enjoyed the latest PV:
Loving the character designs, along with the voice work by Maeno Tomoaki and Itou Shizuka.

Didn't give it much thought before but after seeing that PV and reading your comment, I have to agree. I think it's that little giggle she gives off at the end that does the trick.
And Tomoaki Maeno as Junichi Tachibana seems to work pretty well going form that PV. Very much lookig forward to this!

He does! I was a little iffy on him. He did a great job in White Album, but the first season he sounded like he had a clothes pin on his nose. It's a good thing that he sounds different enough so that I won't be thinking of White Album. Whenever I hear Mizuki Nana or Hirano Aya, I think of White Album, Rina and Yuki respectively..
