PV Teaser:
Some context: Noitamina has this reputation of picking anime that would appeal to a more general and normal population. Although they have deviated from it time to time, it looks like they’re back to picking series with a lot of potential. A1 pictures is generally a strong studio with good funding because they are owned by aniplex, the distributor and backer of most animated projects in japan.
