A dreamlike story is about to begin.

I have to assume that it will be a short-lived anime...

I'm a big fan of Isekai Quartet, so if this replicates that, I'm definitely gonna love this lol

Damn I just learned this news today and this is really unexpected. It is like dream come true for Key fans. Unfortunately, I have not played Summer Pockets yet in case they will suddenly introduce Summer Pocket's casts as I have only seen the main 5(Air, Kanon, Clannad, Little Busters, Rewrite) and their TV only series(Angel Beats, etc).

Is this the answer from Key to Type-Moon's Carnival Phantams...?

One hopes it will be as funny and/or popular as Carnival Phantasm was.

Honestly it's been so long since I've watched any of these animes that I wonder if I remember enough things to enjoy this crossover.
