Looks like Infinite Stratos x Date A Live child.

It's Makoto Furukawa, not Shin Furukawa.
Typo as well, it should be Kazehaya.

So I checked who the director, Tetsuya Yanagihara, is and I think it's the wrong person. He hasn't done any directing at all.
I believe the director is this guy, Tetsuya Yanagisawa. Which would make more sense since it's TNK.
And lo, it's the director of DxD and the upcoming Kenzen Robo Daimidaler. This adaptation should be even more fun.

監督 柳沢テツヤ

Still undecided. I like the voices but everything looks pretty generic otherwise.

Exactly what I was thinking. I don't know anything about the story so i can't say if it is something I would enjoy. But just from the PV and the character designs they just look generic and unexciting.

Although I did find the music to be fun. So maybe that will be a saving point for this?

The PV didn't really seem to tell me much, though maybe that's because I have a poor understanding of Japanese. I'll probably check this out. I'm not expecting an elaborate plot, but I hope the characters are at least interesting.

Since the VA cast is relatively new I'm quite worry on how it will turn out. What I don't quite like from the cast is Kamito VA. I think everyone else is perfect especialy Rinslet and Est.

YES SUMMER. A lot of VA that aren't very known but excited to see Ellis, Claire. And god damn VA that did Tada Banri is gonna be Kamito's VA, jesus. CD is fairly similar I'm very happy. Was hoping that MadHouse or TNK since TNK showed a phenomenal job on Highschool DxD, glad it's one of them. Hope it's a two cour show since it's summer with proper ending. Est and Rinslet's voice is very good. Glad to see this news but somewhat disappointed.

EDIT: Actually doesn't sound so bad for most of them but after watching over n over again, Claire sounds a bit off, really wished Kugimiya Rie did her instead, still irritating to hear Kamito's voice, Hikasa Yoko would have been pretty good for Ellis as well in my opinion.

I agree, Claire's voice sounded really off to me as well. No fault of the actress of course, just that most of the tsunderes out there are essentially expected to be voiced by actresses who are experienced in those roles.

Was originally expecting Kugimiya Rie or as Ophis said, Ayana Taketatsu to voice her. Though I always welcome the opportunity to see the new folks in the industry. I was expecting Marina Inoue(Tohka(DAL), Yozora(Haganai)) to voice Ellis and Itou Shizuka for Fianna.

On another note, anyone knows anything about the actress who does Rinslet? She goes by the name of Yuuki Kana. Didn't find anything on her on MAL so looked her up on JP wiki and saw that she had a few minor roles in Karneval, Arpeggio and Genshiken but voiced some main characters for games.

OMG I KNOW RIGHT AKENOS VOICE WOULD BE GOOD FOR FIANNA AS WELL. I did think about how Inoue would do right from the get go. Although I don't think it would be that good actually, Tohka's voice would be a bit childish with Ellis' appearance, Tsukiumi is too tsundere, Yozora ehhh noh.. I really think Hikasa would have been very good for her, look at Houki from IS Stratos. I also looked a bit about which male Seiiyu would've been okay for Kamito despite not being too known, I think Kimura Ryouhei (Kodaka from Haganai, Kise from KNB) would be fine.
