Finally an announcement for the season premiere. Not a fan of Gonzo but let's see what they can do.

well even though it's gonzo i think the series will be fine since it's sprite/fairys we're talking about. everything they do usually has really good production values. it'll be hard to top the quality of koichoco though.

They say adult game, but the VN has very limited sexual content, and the same is true for Love, election, and chocolate. It was released last year, and it apparently is well received by the community. LEC was made by AIC, so I am looking forward to what Gonzo can do to this series. They have done some fanservicey shows in the past, and they do them well.

Hmm, main scenario writer worked on Grisaia. Makes me wonder if I want to see another harem anime that won't have a winner...Laughing

I guess it's stuff like adaptation changes, budget issues, animation issues (due to aforementioned budget I assume), some of their series having weak endings, heavy use of CGI (even though they used to garner acclaim because of their CGI). I never had a problem with them though, so it surprises me why people hate them so much. I don't see people talking with this much hate about other studios like Pierrot, TMS or A-1. Well, Gonzo did animate one of my favorite anime series so there's no way I can hate them. But in any case I was not expecting them to animate this series. The story sounds interesting and I love the character designs. I'm definitely keeping my eye on this one.

So, it's kind of like Sky Wizards Academy but the eroge-based version.

It took over a year, but at last new information is available.

I somewhat got that impression as well. From what I can tell from the synopsis, it will be leaning towards the regular harem tropes, but if the story can present it well enough, the hook of a new sport (anti-graviton race? So a footrace in the air?) might be good enough to keep the audience from leaving. The ones that are tired from the ever-increasing "high-school boy is loner -> meets pretty girl, and another, and another -> cue dramatic past -> he solves all their problems" setting.
