I've actually been pretty interested in seeing this anime ever since it was announced. But the fact that it's airing so late into the season and the first PV was only just released makes me think there might have been some production issues and it's probably gonna suck. I hope I'm wrong though, but I'll still watch it regardless.

The breath of fresh air I need. Ron for music is a very pleasant surprise. I miss his soundtracks. The mini characters corner must be fun with a former rugby player. I hope everything goes well.
