For some reason, the character designs seem incredibly familiar and I love it, but the genre confuses me. Will it be CGDCT?

This is not surprising, most VA of projects like this appear frequently in moe or all-female titles. This is direct advertising.

The character designs are probably from Tanaka Masayoshi. He did the designs for Darling in the Franxx, 22/7, Ano Hana and Kokoro ga Sakebitagatterunda (this movie is also about eggs)

This explains why I got such strong 22/7, P.A. Works and Mary Okada vibes.

This looks pretty well animated. Some of the backgrounds from the earlier PV reminded of some Makoto Shinkai's works.

Anyway, I'm not a gigantic fan of all female/male focused shows but this looks like it could be very interesting.

Well, that's just the main cast. We still don't know anything about who will surround them.
