fr, they could've made opm s3 by now (implying that they were ever gonna do it in the first place).
Or Mob Season 3, since that's popular enough and definitely within their wheelhouse

The same director behind Free and Banana Fish? Is Bones really taking time out of their schedule to make fujo bait?

Isn't Bungo Stray Dogs extremely popular with the Fujo crowd?

I love how any show with hint of having good looking male characters instantly brings in all the insecure male anime fans out. I don't see this much of instant hate when a yuri-bait/GL comes out.
Also, Bones made Carole and Tuesday last year- and that was amazing. The more you know
dont be naive Carol and Tuesday is a bad show and the second half is the story being different from the premise. And its overrated lol.

Bones is infamous with their originals being bad. I have low expectations with this. The artsyle is mediocre and character designs too. The animation is good. The story is fujobait.

Bones is now a shameful studio going from classic sci-fi, adventure, action, mecha, drama, anime of 00s and early 10s to gaybait these days. Bones is totally dead in case of TV originals these days.
Skip Skip Skip. I haven't heard of news of new original TV anime like old times for many months now, I am really sad due to huge lack of new original series to look forward to.

You need to watch old Bones anime and you will see and feel the pain of downgrade their original anime has gone through over this decade.

Based Utsumi, she still manages to find ways to trigger insecure dudes 7 years after Free. Hopefully there is more fujo pandering than ever!

Those are a lot of assumptions about a show that hasn't aired yet and it's only one trailer.

It's not about fujo-pandering so much as its about how the first and potentially only anime about a sport that plenty of people would like to see a show made about won't actually be about the sport in question but just used as a vehicle to display sorta good-looking 2d characters. And it's not like it can't appeal to a certain demographic while doing so either, just look at Haikyuu and Run with the Wind.
In short the premise seems stupid and the character designs are lackluster, so it feels like a slap in the face to someone who's been looking forward to there ever being a show made about the subject. It's probably just gunna be another mediocre show that everyone will forget as soon as it stops airing.

Of course, but personally I did not find anything in said trailer appealing, so my expectations are quite low. I'll still give it a chance though.
