| Ou damn, this one actually looks pretty damn good. PTW. |
 |
| I agree with swagernator. This looks like it has great potential. Nice animation, nice soundtrack, and an overall really nice feel to it. Definitely going to keep an eye out on this. |
 |
| Ok...I am getting vibes from this. I can't explain it, but I am getting vibes. Something tells me that I need to watch this...And I just noticed Nana who will be voicing that seemingly snobby girl. Ok, I'm definitely watching this... |
 |
| You got my interest. that PV looks good. |
| Now this is what I called.. W H O L E S O M E N E S S... |

| Looks like a boring Sol |
 |
| "12-year-old Oriko Seki, who lost her parents in a car accident" Stopped reading The animation looks slightly CGI |
| hanasaku iroha with lolis? |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| It is the result of Japanese traditional education, or are Japanese girls really so fond of family themes? |
 |
| Cool. Looks like one I can watch with the young ones someday. |

Just after Russian and Western culture, it's unusual for me to see so patriarchal depiction of women's values. However, maybe that's why there are so many "forbidden" themes in the women's manga. |
|
| Sure, might give this a try. |

| Well, the PV looks completely different from the actual designs. Kinda obvious that it's actually done by a different animation staff, probably by a rather high profilic director. |
| Oh my gosh that animation and artstyle is totally gorgeous 😍😍😍 According to the MAL, DLE and Madhouse are on helm. It’s “comfy”. April’s looking good with this anime, DxD Hero, MHA 3, Persona 5 the Animation, Cutie Honey, Lupin, GeGeGe no Kitarou 2018, and Nanatsu no Taizai continues throughout Spring. |

| This looks pretty comfy and that's a decent cast. |
 |
| maiko-san chi no makanai san looks much better tbh.... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| It looks so relaxing but I feel like this will probably make me cry and I'm ready for that. |

Yeah, wanted to post about that earlier today but forgot. Sucks hard that the PV is made by a different director and the footage are unrelated to the tv series. Dont expect THAT quality for this one, people. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Oh, my word the new PV has made me lose all hope. Was just uploading my upcoming anime list and had this at number one. I have been sharing it around like crazy. New PV looks like literal trash. Expectations lowered so quickly. Honestly super pissed at the false advertising and will be skipping this show most likely. What a waste. |
