Did I read it right? Hatsukoi right?

It's a little bit serious in the first impression but might as well try.

This reminds me vaguely of WH40K - the Dark Library and the Wraithbone matrices of Craftworlds.
Peace through Superior Firepower!

I'll have you know Seto no Hanayome was a joint production between Gonzo and AIC. AIC provided the main staff in terms of Directors, scriptwriters and so forth while Gonzo were there to just do the animation. Thus Seto no Hanayome is not bogged down like most modern Gonzo shows. Give it a try, its one of the funniest show I've watched in recent times. :P

Sorry to disappoint you, but I'll have you know that the "main staff" of SetoHana wasn't affiliated with AIC in any way. Both the director and the scriptwriter were (and are) independent workers not involved with either AIC or Gonzo. More than that, the director Seiji Kishi worked on some anime produced by GDH (Gonzo's parent company) before. He also worked with Artland and Satelight. The scriptwriter Makoto Uezu was initially employed by the Studio Orphee, then he went freelance and wrote screenplays for some Studio Deen series before working on SetoHana. Please, don't ridicule yourself further, my friend. All that AIC provided for this show was animation assistance, nothing more. So, technically, it's a Gonzo show (since they still handled the main work). :)
