The art style and setting remind me of DRAMAtical Murder (it means Visual Novel, not anime adaptation), Vivy, Ghost in the Shell. I love it. Cobalt is similar to Aoba Seragaki :D
I never played mobile games so I'll watch the anime. The only uneasiness is Doga Kobo. Because the studio isn't familiar with this kind of work. But they're doing a good job with Senpai Kouhai recently. My hope is still alive.
I'm digging the art style and character designs, and the music in the PV was pretty good, but I was hoping to see the animation for it....Also I hope this doesn't end up being all CG lol
