I actually like Okada's work. And Harada's a great artist. All that + Sato should be interesting.
I have shit taste.

Also, Encourage Films is the studio.

If you have shit taste, I do too. I love everything I have seen that was directed by Sato, which is, admittedly, a small percentage of his work, and I have rarely had any issues with Okada's writing, either for adaptations or original work.

One question: If the story is about Amazing Twins, shouldn't there be two protagonists? Or are they M/F fraternal twins and the guy just doesn't matter for some reason?

Mari Okada and the Disgaea character designer is enough for this to me a must watch IMO. Hyped!

Awww, a little disappointed it's an OVA and not a full-fledged TV series. Considering there's "Twins" in the title, I'd imagine she's going to have a female partner, right?

Tamayura started as an OVA, so if it's any good, there's plenty of hope for more.

Hmm...
Shame this is only an OVA. I'm hoping for a TV series in the future.

So this has nothing to do with Kaleido Star. I am relieved. Should cast Hirohashi Ryo though.

Oh look, an ahoge, a sailor suit, and tiny, tiny feet. Uuuuuggggh...

I want to like this anime. I really, truly do, but I get so friggin' sick of seeing the same old, same old character designs my head just wants to explode. Crying or Very sad

I'm sure you'll get a chance to once the OVA is out.

Looking forward to this, but disappointed its an OVA. I'd love a new Junichi Sato TV series one day.

Maybe it'll pull a Tamayura and get a TV series later on if it's popular enough.

I really hope so. This Ova has some good people behind it. So at worst it will be "Okay" at best this will be amazing and I don't want to see this end as just a simple OVA.

Hopefully the only reason it's an OVA is because they want to test out the idea before they make a series out of this.

Looks like this is starting to become a trend for Satou Jun. He tried it recently for 'One off' which was like Tamayura on motorbikes but IMHO wasn't as good, although some of that was funded by the motorbike manufacturer!
