btw the visuals and animation is mid or average but maybe this is a long running anime or a seasonal anime thats why they are being conservative with the production quality

I'm hoping this series just doesn't get a Tomodachi Game treatment but most likely not since I've seen spoilers about the previews on the episodes, had an interesting animation.

Unison Square Garden is a hype band at least

At first sight it looks amazing. The opening is, at least, good. High hopes for this one, I'm waiting to see how they do on crucial moments. Even if the work team is the equivalent of a newly promoted to tier 1 team
