As for Black Fox, looks quite interesting. PV looked pretty neat, but I'm not exactly sure what to expect. Description gives little information.

The director of 3hz is Yuichiro Matsuka, a former BANDAI producer at Bones. Matsuka along with Muneki Ogasawara, also a former member of Bones, and Masaki Tachibana, a former member and director of Prodcution I.G, founded Kinema Citrus in 2008. But in 2013 Matsuka decided to leave Kinema Citrus and create his own studio. Apparently that was always his pretension, hence the reason for having made this split.
But while he was in Kinema Citrus, Matsuka, who already knew the work of Flip Flappers director Kiyotaka Oshiyama, told him that he wanted to direct an original anime with him in charge, thus giving him complete creative freedom to work on his proposal [Of history]. But a few years passed, and when Oshiyama finally had his hands unoccupied, he could not do that job, as Matsuka was already breaking away from Kinema Citrus, that was in 2013.
Originally Flip Flappers could have been an original of Kinema Citrus, but the studio was probably afraid to start with originals and preferred to try a more fixed approach with adaptations. Which probably resulted in the split between the producers, and with that Matsuka took with him to 3hz several talented entertainers. Tachibana left the studio as well, but he chose not to join 3hz, thus becoming a freelancer. However, maintaining a good relationship with both studios.
Oshiyama, and the entire team that worked on Flip Flappers is no stranger to the producers of 3hz studio, nor Kinema Citrus. It is not unusual for some of them to work in these two studios, since they already had a relationship in the past. Oshiyama before Flip Flappers appeared in some 3hz works. Although studio 3hz can be considered medium compared to other studios [mediano means, good], the merit for that work in flip flappers should be given much more to oshiyama, than properly 3hz. But, please note, this does not mean that 3hz is not able to produce good animation; but keep in mind that a director makes all the difference, and it would be unfair to assign that work to only 3hz. Do not expect the same pattern.
I have seen some people saying disinterested in the original 3hz, ironically the work of P.A Works is an original. Making originals is a risk, few studios can live on it, and few producers can afford to invest in it. Trigger, P.A Works are one of the few stutters who do. It is somewhat understandable the argument of who did not like the other 3hz originals, although there are circumstances that led the studio to do them. I know why 3hz and Actas made [Princess Principal] that original, and I can state categorically that it was not for the work to become a commercial success. It was quite the opposite.
People who do not follow the industry would never understand. Originals are a risk. But remember: somebody hated Fr. A. Works for having made several originals that did not work until they finally achieved success.

Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara looks way better than I thought it would be based on its cover. Great directing and pacing. Really intrigued to see if the actual show is good.
No real thoughts on Black Fox since there is no PV. Can't see why anyone would be more interested in it at this moment in time. Just not enough info.
Black Fox only has attention because its a 3Hz original. And it seems that most people seem to really enjoy 3Hz works, which are mostly original.
I do know of 3Hz but they are also still a fairly new studio and don't really have all that much to go by. I still personally am waiting for the trailer to decide if it is interesting or not. Especially since I have dropped 2 out of the 3 shows I have tried from them.
