Looks interesting. Will be waiting for PVs and more info since I can't find the manga.

I like how they're wearing stockings and garter belt.

Idol comedy.

I bet it'll be a short anime :3

According Moonphase, it will be the Second TBS/BS-TBS Anime for the Springseason 2014 beside 'Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou'.

And i don't think, it will be a 5-Minute-Anime

Jan 18, 2014 1:05 PM by LeElPsy89

Yes, yes, yes!

Jan 18, 2014 10:17 AM by TragicRomance

Idol Anime are alright with me, character design is really cute, will probably watch.
