This seems neat. Can't be worse than most other video game adaptations.

Vengeance of everyone's grudge.

Don't really like the art in the poster.
Hope the art in anime is better.

I was kinda disappointed to find out last night that it was a short ONA but I can tell you the game will most likely be good.

I have lost hope in anime based on video games so I don't think that I will give it a try.

"If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine"

When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one
For the Union makes us strong

I dunno if I should watch this. The only good game-to-anime adaptations that I knew of are Devil Survivor 2, Persona 3 and Persona 4. ._.

Wait, I've actually heard of this game.

I'm guessing there will be some light ecchi.
From the wikipedia page:
When Momo jumps, players can visibly see her panties. Also Momo needs to be wary of a photographer in the audience who is determined to get a peek under her mini-skirt. If he is successful, Momo will be "embarrassed" (stunned) for a short time. Additionally, one of the images that appears on the curtain (at the beginning and end of some stages) is Momo wearing only a towel

The first episode looks and sounds terrible...the character models are ok (But thank the original webcomic artist for that). Momo sounds terrible, non of the comics humor is in place Ep 1 was very dissapointing.
