i agree this does remind me of Sakasama no Patema (at least the cover art does). Hopefully the romance in it is good, which it seems like it could be. Interesting to see how this new director holds up

Looks interesting, might give it a watch. And we also have a new voice actor. Did a quick search and apparently he's already an actor, so hopefully his voice acting will be good.

if it's an actor doing VAing for the first time, chances are it's probably gonna be bad lol

Oh lOoK "Parallel Worlds" mixed with "another world" in the most ambitious rip-off this year. Audacious.
