I really hope the PV's suspenseful atmosphere extends to the actual show and with one of Steins;Gate's main directors in charge it's definitely not out of reach.
The character design looks a bit too cutesy for my taste but it shouldn't matter too much if everything else works out.
I love the colour design and with Studio Pablo co-working on it it's almost guaranteed to have gorgeous background art. Hopefully Mari Okada continues her winning streak after her most recent work on Nagi no Asukara.

If it's as good as Nagi no Asukara, I'll love it. Wish there were at least one or two males though...

Count me in. I don't recall watching any Psychological show of theirs other than Utena (which I tried 1 episode before putting it on hold for years and years) and Shigofumi, and Psychological is one of my favorite Genres if not the most favorite.

My main problem with Mari Okada is that she seems to have a knack of putting in random fetish material, namely randomly emasculating characters making them joke characters, in particular putting them in a drag. And she seems to have developed an obsession of putting males in dresses, generally portraying male characters terribly and the craziest ideas of fanservice that would rival NishioIsin's "toothbrush" debacle in absurdity. The most infamous example being in Anohana where
. Did we REALLY need something so silly and stupid for a series that was supposed to be melodrama? Seriously, every single series within the last year or so that she's been involved in (anime original or adaptation), there has been crossdressing or some sort.

Has the potential to be one of the best animes of 2013, but might also turn out to be horrible, you never know anymore, but the pv looks great, people involved have made great anime and music, and the cast isn't half bad either.

Nagi no Asukara.


You can add True Tours Nanto and the HSI movie, oh and AKB0048 does have a crossdresser but the character is badass and taken seriously.

Pretty sure Miracle Girl doesn't have any crossdressing either from what I've heard but I've yet to watch it.
A bit older but Aquarion Evol doesn't have any crossdressing either.

Fun fact: the anime adaptation of Otome Yukai Zakuro takes out a crossdressing scene that was in the manga.

Genre: Game, Psychological

Hmm will definitely follow, but J.C. staff doing it? I thought that J.C. Staff is only good at romcom. The large female cast put me off too.

Edit: Just watched the trailer, wow that was pretty damn good thriller, can't wait to watch it, hope it delivers ^^

The crossdressing seems to me to be a non-issue. I don't know why you think Yukiatsu in a dress was somehow fanservice or fetish material. I didn't like Anohana, but that moment was just used for more story melodrama (which is Mari Okada's main issue). Then again the issue of emasculation seems to also be a ridiculous non-issue.

Male and female characters get treated just as poorly in Mari Okada works. They're all just poorly written characters.

Why not? AnoHana was pretty melodramatic and all but one of her most recent works, Nagi no Asukara is pretty good in comparison to her other stuff.

Well it certainly sounds interesting, so I'll watch it.

Yes. Only for you and some other people. I can stand loli, tsundere, kyonyuu oneesan etc, but crossdressing is the only one that i find disgusting

You realize that there are many otaku who fawn over bishonen dressed cutely in woman clothing, right?
Or perhaps Yukiatsu is just bad example, if i may add?

I just saw it as a way Yukiatsu 'coped' with Menma's death. Because that's all it was. It's not like he was doing it for no reason, he was pretty scarred by Menma's passing. If my memory doesn't fail me, it's not like he continued to do it after that one episode either (if he did, I may have agreed with you).

Yes, Yukiatsu is a bad example. I am aware that crossdressing is used for fanservice purposes as well (though actually, not all too often). However it is not used that way in the example.

It's not a romance anime, it's more of a psychological, thriller, card game anime with potentially some mindfuck and mindrape.

JC Staff? Original Anime? Mari Okada? Steins;Gate Director+Art? Index Music? Psychological?

The only thing which is already sure is that it's an interesting combo, and at least JC-Warner is trying something pretty brave right now.

But really, with very hit and miss lady melodrama Mari Okada in script and those unique combo this show literally can go anywhere from a total flop or an epic experience, both in quality and sales. At least the trailer is pretty promising for now, so it's the first good step. Will at least try, especially since current Spring lineup just didn't indicate a good Spring for me.

I've learned to not get hyped up from PVs for these types of shows after Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou. The PVs/Trailers may look good/interesting, but the show itself probably wont live up to it.
