I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'll try to be optimistic about it though but it doesn't look too impressive so far. I hope the diversity of the characters might offer something appealing.

Oooo, will this be this generation's Animation Runner Kuromi only taken in a much wider scope in animation production? That would be nice.

Haruka Chisuga getting more voice roles makes me a very happy person. More so that she's singing in the ED as well. She definitely deserved to win Miss Macross 30. She did great in Soul Eater Not, and her playing a new seiyuu in this should be interesting since that's exactly what she is.

Seems nice, I'm getting a Bakuman. vibe from the PV, but geared towards anime instead of manga. I'll give it a try

Hell yeah one of the anime I'm looking forward to. Beside the horror anime, there is no wrong Tsutomu Mizushima can do.

PA Works and Tsutomu Mizushima? Of course I'll check this out.

This looks like it could be an interesting look at the animation industry if done right. I'm looking forward to it.

I'm kind of glad this is looking to be an urban story, to be honest. I hate to say this, but Glasslip has convinced me that P.A. Works needs to get away from beautiful rural seaside towns for the time being.

Could be an interesting show if they choose to be brave and not shy away from the less squeaky-clean, rainbows-and-sunshine aspects of the animation industry.

I'll keep a weather eye out, at least. Here's hopin'.

On an only tangentially-related note: Does anyone else have trouble distinguishing the main female seiyuu? I feel like they all achieved the same cutesy high pitch and became virtually identical in tone.

Eh, need to see a bit more. Looks like a we'll be getting a cute look at the animation industry, which doesn't really interest me a great deal. Though, as someone mentioned, it does look to have a diverse cast. While the focus is clearly on the girls, it does seem like they'll be interacting with a lot of people outside of the main group.

Right now, that is its "selling point" for me.

PA Works Anime Original - 'nuf said. I'm there.

It doesn't hurt that this looks really funny!

So... if this is PA Works 2nd show about working girls... Was Hanasaku Iroha the first? Anybody know what they meant by that?

(BTW, I am really enjoying Glasslip, personally...)

I frequently have that problem when they do voice-over previews at the end of episodes. I can't tell which voice is saying what... But my ears are approaching 50, so...

One opinion doesn't matter no offense =/

I mean I enjoy it too but he vast majority do not so either we 2 are crazy or It just didn't catch the general audience.
