Another work done by Studio 3Hz. I'll at least see. I had a great impression of the studio's ability to bring together good animators. Masaki Tachibana is a curious case: he is an ex-Production I.G who founded the Kinema Citrus studio, and this studio, 3hz. Two studios that have at least some remarkable works in the technical part, and even in the written part. It's going to be really interesting.

Looks fine so far.

Yuki Kajiura's music style is definitely recognizable in this.

Looks pretty cool so far, but I do admit to being slightly wary about whether it will actually be good or not.

Wow, this actually looks interesting, nice setting and great music so far. Staff isn't that bad either, I would say this can end up being a good original, fingers crossed since Regalia and Flip Flappers were both shit, but with a decent staff I feel like Actas and 3hz can finally make a good new original series.

Cute girls doing cool things, count me in. Staff looks great I admire Studio 3hz because Flip Flappers was best show of 2016 while Actas' Long Riders was fairly decent.

This looks exquisite and awesome! I love Victorian era settings, and the character designs are so cute
Studio 3hz is such a great new studio with great talent, it's great to see them do a new beautiful show after Flip Flappers (which I loved)

Hehe I was just listening to lots of 東方地霊殿 jazz arranges, the music sounds like a jazz arrange of ハルトマンの妖怪少女, really surreal as it sounded like the tab right next to it

YOOO this looks right up my alley.
After Flip Flappers I have high hopes for this even if Kajiura Yuki and Okouchi are kind of redflags(Kajiura YUki's all songs sound the same and Okouchi is known to go off the rails).

The fact that the director worked on Noir, Tokyo Magnitude AND ESPECIALLY GITS:Stand Alone Complex is inspiring confidence tho.

This looks pretty interesting although staff is pretty decent in some sense. Do hope they can handle this pretty well because I do like the designs as well as the synopsis looks like it'll be interesting.

I a bit wary of Actas though, every show they work on gets a ton of delays

the song is fucking great.

and this being 3hz i have some hopes, considering how amazing flip flappers was.
but something tells me this might not live up to the greatness. so i'm hoping it will at least be fun with a kickass soundtrack.
