Hm, Fantasy anime. I wonder what the possibilities of it being licensed are.

A moe blacksmith and her male companion who probably has a "dark" past that frankly no one cares about, but will explain because its so dark.
What a combination this is. And someone mentioned fanservice as well? Unless the cast are adults, I can easily see this being another show that has "dark" moments, but also packed with moe and fanservice.

Maybe it's written without capital letters and punctuation. |
I feel like an idiot for asking what the joke is here; maybe I should just pretend I get it. But here I go being a fool: Japanese doesn't have capital letters, so I know you've got to be referring to something else. |
I totally forgot the Japanese don't use capital letters. Just me being me again

I suppose they cold have written it all in hiragana or katakana - or substituted katakana for hiragana - or written it in the really early style where kanji were used to represent sounds making reading it a giant pain - but I'm guessing "unconventional" is just publicity BS.
Unless there's something they're not giving away in the trailers. Since both Ergo Proxy and Michiko & Hatchin did just that, I'm willing to lower my cynicism a little - but not much.
