Including the saniwa into the anime doesn't always mean that they will suddenly turn this anime into a harem show, regardless the gender. With a skilled writer and directing, even a TouRabu show with a female saniwa can turn into an awesome show without relying on romantic context whatsover. Also by including the saniwa in the show, we might be able to see how the sword boys ACTUALLY interacting with the saniwa, and it doesn't always have to be romantic or affectionate. I mean, can you imagine how awesome the show would be if we could see the sword boys discussing battle tactics, sharing their believes, or even acting hostile towards the saniwa? That things can't be achieved if they keep the saniwa's anonymity!

I do understand that the game's main appeal is how we can imagine ourselves as the saniwa and picturing how the situation around the citadel as we see fit, even I enjoy doing that. But I think we need to respect Ufotable and Nitroplus' decission regarding their choice of the saniwa. Also kudos for going out from the comfort zone since I think everyone must have agreed that having a 'real' saniwa in the show is quite a risky choice.

Also is it confirmed that the saniwa is a young boy? I know that his voice actress has done many male characters before, but I think at this point we still don't know yet (my money's still on that they won't reveal the saniwa's gender at all)... I also kinda hope that the saniwa won't be a 'real' shota, like, maybe he's older than he looks? The poster shows him having something like a scar on his face and it kinda get me curious??
