7 main characters? It will probably be a mess and try really hard to be cool but in a really fruity Durarara kind of way.

Tbh, the visuals are a complete clusterfuck.

Looks like a ton of tropes thrown together. It is quite hard to discern anything personality-wise from anyone as well due to stilted animation. Still gonna probably give it a try.

Finally the date is out.
I'm not really sure anymore about what to expect, after this PV.

The animation does look pretty limited, but the artwork is pretty detailed, just looking and the faces and everything.

Can't really discern much from the trailer, but it looks to be a fairly ambitious project. Probably gonna give it a watch

I like the coloring but not the artwork itself. Might give it a chance regardless
