Yup, I definitely got a little bit of Kiddy Grade vibes from this. I want to see that promotional video though.

"The story is about unimaginable incidents that occur around a seemingly ordinary high school girl"

The fact that the character designs aren't by Megumi Kadonosono is a tragedy.

There's been no sign of Meg for years, and with reports on Wikipedia that gímik disbanded, I can't help but wonder exactly what happened.
-- I've not found much about Sueoka, however she does apparently have character design experience with a Rockman game. |

Yep, that it is a common trope. I think the Haruhi Suzumiya series helped popularize it. |

It way pre-dates Haruhi.
There are so many anime set in modern day High School and also so many anime with supernatual or sci-fi elements that the two are bound to coincide from time to time. Studio A-CAT worked with Gotoh and Brains Base on Gigantic Formula. They were also involved with the Conan movies and the Rockman ZX games, so Sueoka may be a staff member there. -- Actually, the source page for the Conan movie credits does specifically place Sueoka under Studio A-CAT. |
