The PV was never up. I was referring to the original summary in Japanese.

But yeah, hopefully we get something soon. I wonder if it's safe to assume that it'll air in 2014? I don't know how differently some people/studios work.

Here is a translation of a summary someone had up in Japanese (the original is gone now):
From what I was able to get with my poor Japanese skills is that the PV starts with these lines:
>Are you "YURI"?
>Is that a sin?
>The "YURI" trial begins.
The MC's name is Kureha. It seems she has a dislike for bears, for whatever reason. She saves some bear from a truck accident, but ends up pulling some assault weapon out of nowhere and shoots the bear dead. The dead bear splits into two.
The words "The meeting that wasn't meant to be, between a person and 2 bears," "Miraculous meeting," and "Unforgivable mistake" are shown.
A spinning 3D object rolling around with the words 「罪Guilty」 (Guilty of sin) is shown.
Anyhow, later on those 2 bears turned into human girls. One is named Ginko and the other one Ruru. They went to live together with Kureha, and in the PV they are shown getting naked, taking a bath together and hugging while doing so. The one writing the entry described it as erotic.
It seems that while the bears can transform into humans, they-re not yet humans but they want to become humans.
There's also a trial, in which the scene itself seemed like the summoning of the PotC in Penguindrum - you know, some whacky atmosphere. The judges are 3 men.
The words "365 days until the fated kiss" "YURI acknowledgment" were said and they're sealed with a bear stamp. The PV ends there.
Anyhow, that's it. I think the PV sounds interesting and I'm eager to see it.

If it is at the level of Utena or Penguindrum, it will have been well worth the wait.

Looks like the script are reviewed and approved the next day. We have storyboards, scripts and maybe series composition done. Next is producing the actual thing. They could be done by summer next year if it is two cour. Ikuhara is somewhat slow lol.

http://www.penguinbear.com/ got updated with two more pics. It looks as if Ikuhara passed the completed dialogues for review...
Jul 21, 2013 4:52 AM by soulelle
was the PV shown at a private screening?
Jun 19, 2013 4:28 PM by NOWAA
I can't wait to see this... I wonder how Ikuhara will mess with our minds this time. Also how the transformations will be.

That PV is completely insane. Still, after watching Penguindrum I can come to expect this kind of thing from Ikuhara. I really should get around to watching Utena though.
Mar 29, 2013 4:06 AM by Seasonreaper
Oh, I can't wait! Ikuhara needs to do more stuff. I love him.

Thanks for the translation. Should we be expecting a yuri Penguindrum? :)

Echo what the guys have said above, Thanks for providing the info, your a star. That was a very interesting read that has already provoked a few head scratchers. Cant wait to see the trailer and anyone know when this might air?

No prob.
I think it will air in summer like Penguindrum aswell.

I don't think any of us can know that yet.
If I were to speculate based on the amount of time it took for Mawaru Penguindrum's first trailer to the anime to air, then I'd say summer this year. But that sounds perhaps too optimistic, so I'd sooner put my money on the autumn season.
