All-male story about androgynous bishonens? I can already see how it will be popular on twitter.

So the director and character designer for JoJo Part 5 is doing another anime with funky male characters, but this time it's in Cloverworks and it's not JoJo.

Count me in.

Those with dirty minds will find my Steam pic offensive

A little bit torn on the plot, but it's got pretty stylish art, so I'll make a note of it for now.
Well I for one already loved Lain.

Damn Cloverwork be breaking their leg, yeah hope they do justice for any of their upcoming anime adaptations, redeeming from a very disappointed execution for Horimiya and Yakusoku no Neverland (But I do love their original source though) and anyways "oolala" it's an original this time! The cast for this one is pretty interesting, they're pretty known ones for goodie shows I've completed so I really have high expectation for the VA's own character portrayal. What only worries me is all about the plot generally though the synopsis sounds really interesting having different characters with different personality, hope their 'relationship change' that has been mentioned doesn't get too boring and repetitive. Also key visual looks really cool and looking forward to the teaser trailer to see the actual animation :)!
