Damn, pretty solid Staff right there! Direction, Composition and Character Designs are in good hands and it’s cool to see three people in charge for the Music Department.

Highly looking forward to this! TMS Entertainment are rather busy this year with the full remake of Fruits Basket, which most likely will be two cours so Summer Season will be especially tough on the team, and other projects, but here’s to hoping they deliver their best nevertheless!

also this is TMS. the chance of it being long run is pretty high. however, they also has upcoming total remake of fruit basket and another lupin 3 project. so they may have shortage for staff. however for budget i don't tink they have any problem. conan just made very successful movie that make them swim with money. another thing to consider there is lot of rumor they also want to adapt zero no tea time since conan main series in constant hiatus. another surprise might come along from this studio.

Pretty excited for this one. I have read the manga and the art is amazing alongside a exciting and smart story that keeps you hooked. It has everything to become a successful anime if done well. Looking forward ><
