Well, dunno if I'll still find time for the game, but... either way, at least there's a new magical girl show this year, and at least there's another game you actually know getting adapted. Not sure if I personally will try and watch this anime next season though.

Okay I just read some brief reviews of the game on Steam...
I don't think I'll play the game based on what I read (I don't even have a PS4 anyway), especially after seeing multiple mentions of fanservice... but sure, I guess I'll check out this anime sometime in the future and hope that the fanservice isn't as present lol. I'm too lazy to play anything anyway.

As far as I can tell from the teaser's characters, this is not an direct adaptation of the original game. Or not?

Sometimes I think people expect to get $ 10 for every post whining about isekai, even if it's just another trendy genre these days.

This is not a direct adaptation, probably a good thing since the game is a cult classic at best inside Japan and is more popular outside of Japan.
