Yeah, wanted to post about that earlier today but forgot.
Sucks hard that the PV is made by a different director and the footage are unrelated to the tv series.
Dont expect THAT quality for this one, people.
Yeah and Nikko told me about that as well (a friend of mine who focuses on sakuga).
That sucks though. But eh will have to wait and see.

It is the result of Japanese traditional education, or are Japanese girls really so fond of family themes?
it's the former, family themes are common in Japanese media.
Just after Russian and Western culture, it's unusual for me to see so patriarchal depiction of women's values. However, maybe that's why there are so many "forbidden" themes in the women's manga.
