VR Idols now, well it's original and not a mobile game adaptation or an experiment like Venus Project, it should be good as long as the CG is alright if there is any and it's not a short.

Happy Elements using their massive profits from Ensemble Stars on other things T_T Well I'm not complaining, I'm glad they're experimenting with different things. The girls in this original anime look awesome, I'll check this out. Hope Ensemble Stars still gets good budget though, for both the game and the anime.

I thought so too!

OT: I agree with you guys. I hope they give Enstars a decent budget, decent studio and decent staff. It deserves it.

Happy Elements the only thing people want from you is your Enstars anime adaption. Get to that first.

I'm just happy that Seven Arcs is not dead. Although I would have preferred new Nanoha or Sekirei S3 from them.

My main issue is the format, Venus Project did a hybrid anime/live action format and it failed miserably. Also, I think HE is trying to get a Chinese audience seeing that both groups have an idol from China, it may get licensed there for streaming.
