Where is Truck-kun? You can't have this series be a thing without him. That being said, the character designs are solid and the cast list is great. It definitely does have that Diomedea feel about it. I do have a problem with the staff though, but I guess I'll have to live with it for now. It's probably going to be a one-cour, but just in case I'd hope for a two-cour if possible.

Didn't liked that , Specially Fuuka (beside the color of her hair I think it should be a bit more darker)

Well, 2.0 is not on the cast list, so I assume it will end on a positive note at chapter 35. And considering it's diomedéa, I highly doubt it's a 2-cour or split cour series. With lyrics presented for the songs, 3 chapters per episode is pretty much a good pacing that doesn't need to be rushed to reach that infamous point in the manga. But we shall see.

I thought like that too when I checked the cast. Hopefully it will be that way because the anime would actually have the potential to become a great romance story.

I knew that the artstyle was too Diomedea-esque Lol. But Okay, uh...

Series Composition... I might get bored again xD Maybe (Not gonna lie Arslan Senki was boring as hell so) but he also worked on some KonoSuba episodes along with some Ranpo Kitan episodes... so a hit or miss?

Yuusuke Kobayashi as Yuu is somewhat unexpected for me here...

Judging by the cast list, it's possible the anime will stop before 'that'.

Probably around 5-6 episodes, if it will be one cour of 12-13 episodes.

Cast is pretty solid. Character design is good. Director and series composition is somewhat okay. But no matter the staff and cast assembled, the original work is just not that good. Seo can't write for shit nowadays. Only good thing Fuuka has is the art that he's pretty much perfected over the years. It's been boring as of late, especially the current arc. Doesn't have the impact of his previous works. Even Kimi no Rage Machi makes me react per chapter during its last run. It's the way he writes the main character. Yuu is not appealing at all. He can't carry the series like Yamato and Haruto.

I'll watch it but only to see how much they'll cover and if they'll cover up to "that" chapter. It still baffles me that Seo did that at all.
