The character designs are f*cking adorable!!, and the concept is kind of cool, but the idea of it being entirely CG is pretty meh. It's something that I'll need to see in motion before I'm willing to put any money toward it. I've seen well done CG dance scenes, most recently, the Animator Expo short with the Evangelion world idols, was insanely well done, but I don't really see this having production values that high. The character descriptions are a little bit odd to me too. Maybe it's just because it's not very well translated, but they sound a little too one note, and generic.

I wonder how well a kickstarter of a moe series will do.

Little Witch Academia doesn't really count as that had Trigger behind it, and Little Witch Academia was extremely popular.

It's hilarious. The cast is "literally who?" until Ayane Sakura, one of the biggest names in the past 2 years. Yamaoka has some impressive supporting roles as well.

Abby has a backstory that's similar to Mary Cochran. They all look super adorable but that CG is a huge worry, you need a good budget to have good CG and that's no guarantee, look at Macross Delta, even with a budget, the CG turned out to be average.

I may fund this but on one of two conditions, I can get a figure or a dakimakura of one of the idols in one of the pledge tiers.

I concur on all of this. Especially about the tier rewards. Preferably a figure, but I would still want to see a prototype before I am willing to pledge for that.
