In a world of shining steel skyscrapers, bustling highways that stretch endlessly, and robots which support people, there lives Kumi.

Let's hope we get subs for these.
That's my biggest worry. last year I think there were 2 titles that didn't get subbed which is a shame.
Only Parol no Mirai Shima never got subbed (English, anyway, I think).
Despite various success with each short, the Anime Mirai projects are awesome, so I'm looking forward to all four of these. Kumi to Tulip sounds the most promising as it's being done by Tezuka Productions, but hopefully these four are good.

Aki no Kanade and Kumi to Tulip seem to be the most promising after reading the synopsis.

Studio DEEN and J.C. Staff? This will be a laugh.
JC Staff is good sometimes. Shoukugeki no Souma looks amazing.
Also, Studio Deen gonna ruin this.
BTW I love how people are talking about Death Parade like its some kind of success. The OVA was mildly successful, and the TV show is clocked below 2k on stalker. It is (in all likelyhood) a complete financial failure.

I'm hoping at least one of these gets popular enough for a full TV series.
