This premise sounds so Mid-2010. Like an anime spin on books/movies like hunger games, divergent, etc. (Yes,yes I'm aware "hunger games copied battle royal". I'm specifically referring to the "dividing people into groups and the mc being the "group hopper" " thing)

This is definitely a CG anime.

Looks like a more comedic role for Show Hayami.

Based on the promotional video, I don't really get a Hunger Games or Battle Royale vibe here. This seems a different kind of mood and setting, visually speaking, even if the concept sounds compatible on paper. Not that I would be opposed, either way, since there's more than enough room to have multiple works in the same genre (or at least a similar one).
