I am very much looking forward to this one
Also, CloverWorks has 3 projects for this Winter. Hopefully there won’y be any kind of decrease in quality in none of them, since they are all kinda big projects


They are former A-1 Pictures department so they have experience with too many titles at a time lol

Anyway, I'm not a gigantic fan of all female/male focused shows but this looks like it could be very interesting.


Well, that's just the main cast. We still don't know anything about who will surround them.

This looks pretty well animated. Some of the backgrounds from the earlier PV reminded of some Makoto Shinkai's works.

For some reason, the character designs seem incredibly familiar and I love it, but the genre confuses me. Will it be CGDCT?

The character designs are probably from Tanaka Masayoshi. He did the designs for Darling in the Franxx, 22/7, Ano Hana and Kokoro ga Sakebitagatterunda (this movie is also about eggs)


This explains why I got such strong 22/7, P.A. Works and Mary Okada vibes.

3 cast from love live


This is not surprising, most VA of projects like this appear frequently in moe or all-female titles. This is direct advertising.
