To watch or not to watch? That is the question.
It looks good and I really like Idol/Showbiz/Music anime, but despise vampires.
What a conundrum.

Ah, so this is what that silhouette teaser from a few months ago was about.
And is that the name Agematsu I read‽ Yep, this one'll be brilliant, no question.

UtaPri meets Hypnosis Mic. I already loved the concept and characters. Can't wait!
P.S. I'm a big fan of Are You Alice? so I'm very glad Ikumi Katagiri is original character design of this anime.

I like the designs, but I wonder how that will translate to the anime?
Looking forward to the music in any case!

Male seiyuu singing project and no Tosshi? Madness. They must still have cast to announce.

Jokes aside, I really like many songs Masuda and Shouta Aoi have sung together for other projects in the past. Fingers crossed on the music front.

I can't even tell what this is meant to be about... Love the logo and art style, though those don't mean much on their own.

A Bishounen festival huh?
This will be good from the A-1 Pics X legend composer standpoint.
