Oh! So it was from this where the kawaii girl guitar render came from!

Who could be the seiyuu for her?
Aya-chan? =D

It does have a very KyoAni look, but I think I'm going to guess Brains Base on this. Maybe it's because it looks a little like Kamichu!...

The character design reminds me of KyoAni. The art style resembles Horiguchi Yukiko's.

Looks good indeed! =D

I may check it out as soon as more info comes in. But for now, I'll be safe and keep it off of my Plan-To-Watch list.

The overall concept of the anime is pretty good, four high school girls reviving the music club and starting a rock band featuring interesting songs. The sample character design looks okay. I wonder how the cast of seiyuu will be and whether it will actually feature songs rather than episodes of comedy and drama. Currently, I get the impression of it being a crossover between "NANA" and "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya".

she kind of reminds me of haruhi suzumiya with a guitar or is it just me?

Sounds very cliche and very excellent.

I will watch it.

I like that girl for unknown reasons, I'll stay onto this.

It's a girl with a guitar. What's not to like?

The girl or the guitar? or both?
