Not bad for cast choices. I hope this is a TV anime although the delay of the format is starting to make me wonder if it will be OVA series (Hellsing Ultimate style).

Please let it be OVA series!
Don't turn this into TV series because it will be censored as hell!

This seemed like something that would be perfect for Madhouse so I was hoping they'd be the ones doing it. Hopefully it's an OVA like Hellsing Ultimate so that it can be uncensored.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Seems like a great cast so far.

Hopefully it's an OVA series so they can keep up the quality shown in the PV. Since this is done by a new studio specifically created for it which probably consisted of mostly the same people who worked on Hellsing Ultimate, I hope the wait between each OVA won't be too long like Hellsing Ultimate though.

There's not much information. There is speculation that it's somehow related to Hoods Entertainment, but no one knows at the moment. They have hired staff from SANZIGEN, Graphinica, Hiwa, and other companies closely affiliated to Gonzo and its offshoots.

Well, that would be weird if it's Hoods Entertainment doing this. Not impossible but its not a studio i'd see them suddenly doing something like that. Oo

I hope the anime is more entertaining than the manga. Got bored and dropped it after the Joan of Arc battle.

That visual looks great, I love this type of shows with teams where they duke it out between each other.
