The teaser looks amazing, wow. The premise sounds interesting, too.

A little skeptical about the studio, because of how The Witch and the Beast is barely hobbling along this season, but would like to know more about this one.

The animation is really good most probably the best looking Yokohama Animation Lab anime.
