I wonder why they had 3 assistant directors because maybe Cloverworks might fuck it up?

Jokes aside, I have high expectations for this.

3 assistant directors, that's a record. A bit yikes, ngl.

Knowing who are the ones in charge, it's still relatively safe.

The visual is almost perfect.
It says everything about the story.

But it would have been better if the title of the anime was in another place.
