I like the visual a lot, but am not impressed by the staff and studio.

Japanese idols and pop singers trying to be seiyuu never, ever work out.

Luna Haruna is kind of different though. She might not consider an anisong singer by other news mods. because she doesn't always sing anime theme songs, I consider her as anisong singer because of her love on anime and trying to sing theme songs to anime series (+ she was a finalist of 4th annual Anisong Grand Prix, which meant she aimed to be an anisong singer but failed. She eventually debut singing anime theme song / alternative way to enter the field).

That's a nice poster. Really colourful. Now I really want to see the PV for this anime & see everything in motion. And I hope this is more of an action-packed anime & than cute girls doing cute things.

Staff looks pretty decent as well :3

Decent? Why is that? Out of the three main staff, the only experienced one is the writer, & his previous works are mixed bag.

I think there will be some robots, but not specifically mecha. At least that's the impression I get from the poster. If it's a mecha anime, there would be at least a hint of mech in the poster.

Well you kinda pointed out the series composition seems pretty alright, the same can go for the rest since I didn't said they're good, but they're okay the very least.

But it is skeptical.

Japanese idols and pop singers trying to be seiyuu never, ever work out. I know they have the opportunity because they're famous and everything but I'd really like to see actual talent be recognized.
About the actual series itself, don't know what to think of it yet. There's little to go off of.

I dunno how this will be "really" good as the studio so far didn't make any decent anime so far. Maybe this time they will unleash their potential? well let's wait and see...

Based on the art it looks very "whimsical!" Love whatever those quirky outfits are the girls are wearing :D I'll keep an eye out for this one.
