and the background art looks absolutely beautiful

The girls look uglier as hell, even retro shoujo manga has better art than that.

Kana Hanazawa is all the motivation I need to watch this
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

Kana Hanazawa as Naho? NICE.
Pretty excited of course, for me personally.
And the character designs looks very neat, reminds me of Ao Haru Ride.

Idk about orange but it's probably better since serious shoujo manga that doesnt solely focus on appealing to bishies are usually very good. Erased had a wonky premise from the beginning that kind of only appeals to lonely otaku men in need of escapism

Orange as a manga remained true to its quality throughout the 22 chapters it had. It was a bit rushed in the end but that was also due to the health issue of Takano Ichigo-sensei (the author).

Orange excels in drama; the sci-fi is questionable but it has been explored by the author at the very least (even though it wasn't all too convincing) but if someone wants to find logic in it, they will have to dig deep on the explanations given on Steins;Gate as well. The romance and the school related issues such as sports and cultural events, bullying, etc. are very shoujo-ish (which means you'll have to wear shoujo-goggles to enjoy them) but that shouldn't be an issue since one is expected to see those in a shoujo. Orange may get some hate from certain shippers there's no doubt on that part.

Boke Dake on the other hand, had far too many issues as a story itself to even consider it bad just for shipping. I didn't care about shipping yet I found it downright average. Putting the two in one sentence itself is an insult.

Also, bear in mind that it can just have 2 chapters per episode and wrap it up in 11 episodes. So, the quality and pacing can remain the same if the anime is faithful to the manga (I wouldn't mind if they somehow squeeze in Haru-iro Astronaut in between though! It was fun.)

The character designs are nice, though not as pretty and refined as they are in the manga. No qualms about the casting, but I hope KanaHana voices Naho in the same vein as Akane Tsunemori rather than Shiina Mayuri.

Art looks quite boring to me.

Orange had pretty standard 'shoujo manga artstyle', so I'm not really sure what you have expected to begin with :v
