List of Upcoming CGDCT

I wonder whether Asobi Asobase may have poisoned the well somewhat for this show. I can picture people being disappointed that it isn't like that, nevermind whether it was ever intended to be or not (typical fan behavior in probably any medium). Recently some less experienced Made in Abyss fans went into Girls' Last Tour and Hakumei & Mikochi going "Is this like Made in Abyss?" or "Made in Abyss ripoff."

This manga began publishing in 2014, Asobi Asobase in 2015. But I could see this show being greenlit in response to Asobi Asobase, and perhaps pushed in that direction by producers. (Never seen this manga, so I can only make what feels like a safe guess, that it was more of a traditional/generic CGDCT?)

On the off chance that it actually is like Asobi Asobase, there's still a problem; the Isekai Izakaya manga started before the Isekai Shokudou / Restaurant to Another World manga, but Isekai Izakaya was unfortunately adapted to anime later and was therefore seen as a cash-in copy. (It was also regarded as inferior in production, but I haven't seen either show.)

The anime's story will take place in a barren frontier where people trade goods with each other in order to help each other survive. The Kotobuki Squadron are bodyguards for hire, led by a strict but beautiful squadron leader, an unreliable commanding officer, and a true artisan of a crew chief. Alongside pilots who don't lack for personality, they take to the air in dogfights, letting the engine noise of their Hayabusa fighters ring out in the skies.
