Sadly you are pretty much right. They are either poorly animated or a cute girls doing cute things. I can name so many serious sports shows centered around males that are well animated and tell an interesting story, but basically zero female centered ones.

Mostly mocking the studios animation. Enji has never made a good show and this trailer doesn't really impress me and it is PV2 so this is probably the best they have.
The Manga just has such good art and will most likely be the only real way to experience the story due to the adaptation having poor animation, directing, music, you name it.
Basically a part of ice skating is the beauty and grace which this trailer just doesn't have. I am just a picky soul who wants more for something that could have been greatness.

And keep in mind, PV's are supposed to be the highlight reels of their work to get people interested. What we're seeing is likely the absolute PINNACLE of what to expect for this series.

I'm looking at the gifs in your sig and it's wild how much more fluid and natural they look in comparison. Engi has had since March to cook and if this is the best they could come up with then yeah for their second PV when it comes out on January, the yeah the series is completely fucked.
If they weren't busy with the second season of Shanfro, Studio C2C would have been great as well

Same feelings. Others have said that it's actually really good by Engi's standards or even in general, but that still just falls so woefully short of what this series deserves. After the insane animation moments for Shangri-la Frontier, I really think Studio C2C would have done amazing work on this.
Forgot to mention, Shangri-la Frontier is poised to appear and have a panel at Anime NYC. Absolutely no mention of this series having anything there in spite of it coming out beginning of next year.
