Not high on my watch list as it still looks disjointed and the combat isn't looking too promising. Interested in what is going on in the anime scenes, though.

The in-game animation isn't very smooth, but it has a certain charm to it. Reminds me of animated cut-scenes from the SEGA/MEGA CD days. I wonder if the promo video is just showing an early build or not.

Still looking forward to this game, though.

After seeing the battle scenes it doesn't look as good to me any more. It reminds me of a PS game when I look at them for some reason. To add on to that it's a JRPG with only one playable character, I never really liked one-man party's in JRPG's.

Lastly it looks like it's gonna be a fanservice game to me so I don't know if it would exceed expectations in the RPG genre. I do have to say the hand drawn animations was an interesting concept, and they pulled it off with the cut scenes at least.

Oof, that animation was not as impressive as I had hoped...the dialogue scenes (especially when the group is sitting down at a table) are simply WOW, though.

The presentation is cool but the characters are too bland looking for my taste. And it is sort of reminiscent of the SEGA CD but obviously much higher quality.

This shows why they kept delaying revealing the gameplay. It looks like the sprite need more frame, though.
