The series tells the story of Yuuta Hoshiya*, Tooru Nayuki, Kaito Tsukikage, Shou Tengeiji, and Shuu Kuga as they aim for a position in the musical department after being spotted by Ootori, one of the Hanasakura-kai members.

A preview and more information will be made available at AnimeJapan 2015. The staff and main cast so far have been announced.

FYI: ANN lists the character voiced by Suwabe-san as Takashi, but it's wrong. It should be Itsuki because typing out Takashi won't come up with the kanji they use, which means "Tree", but Itsuki will.

I misread it, too, funnily enough. lol

Anyway, this doesn't sound that special, but I'll most likely watch this.

From the Studio and Director that brought us masterpieces such as Seikoku no Dragonar and some 3 minutes Akame ga Kill specials, comes another groundbreaking project.

At least the director already has some experience in pandering to fujoshi with Kuroko no Basket.

Free had Rin and Sousuke, which made the anime awesome for me as a guy.

This anime doesnt look like will have characters like them. This anime looks like that magical anime with all guys thats airing right now.

Skipped.

The cover reminds me of Kiniro no Cords: Blue Sky a little. Hopefully, this one will concentrate more on music than harem/romance.

The cast isn't full of girls, the theme isn't "idol" and despite taking part, that seiyuu isn't voicing any character I may come to like and it's even a TV anime! Is this reality!? Looks like I have something to look forward to in autumn~

Not interested, but the art looks nice. The uniforms remind me of Mahouka though.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought of HSM getting an anime lol

Character designs are unoriginal. Looks like a ripoff of some existing characters.

That title though...(lol HSM) well at least there's music. They can't milk Utapri forever. Doesn't seem like there's a female lead either, so not a reverse harem. :D

Also Natsuki Hanae is in it, looking forward to that.

I know it's not for everyone but hey, with all the female idol shows coming out, us girls deserve something once in a while too right? ;D

The bishounen designs are too girly. For a moment, I thought the character in the middle was a girl.
Well, I think it'll be better than Shounen Hollywood since I'm expecting some musical competitions.
