I would NEVER expected BONES to be tackling this series at all! The small PV though looks pretty slick.

But is her dress black-and-blue or white-and-gold?

It's truly outrageous

BONES is doing this? I would never have seen that coming. So this is the original project they're doing this year. Then just one more left after this....one more manga which BONES is doing this year.

Except its not an original work though. It's based off of a game, so they have one more original work this year.

I have long been looking forward to this show but I'm legitimately excited now. This is probably catching on to the idol popularity and will hopefully be a successful one for BONES. Because for the last few years they have been making critically acclaimed series that are financial flops. Hope this reverses that trend!

Also it's a series about a moe, gothic Lolita, cat girl who creates a band. And it has a hugely famous cast. It's pretty much guaranteed to be a hit with otaku.

This is going to be a hit or miss for me, most likely a miss but we'll see. The premise sounds kinda funny but it's hard say if it'll be memorable until we see the first episode.

The music felt urgent and dramatic, and the animation was smooth and lively. Couple that with the strong cast and you've yourself a looker of a show.
All that remains is to see whether or not the show will deliver.

Ah can't wait for this.I hope they show different songs and not just repeat one song over and over.Either way I'm looking forward to this since I like the whole cast of characters.Hopefully it'll be good.

Liked the PV, but reading the description of the show and looking at the characters...I have a feeling I may give this one a pass.

And, seeing as music will be the central theme, something that has never grabbed me when it comes to anime, it seems less likely I will watch.

On that same Introduction page linked in the article (http://showbyrock-anime.com/introduction/), there is a story summary for the anime that is different from the game's summary:
Quote:
いつものように音楽ゲーム「SHOW BY ROCK!!」をプレイしていた
平凡でちょっと内気な女子高生の元に
不思議なアイテムが届いた瞬間、
ゲームの世界へ引きずり込まれてしまう。

その世界で何も分からないままガールズバンド「プラズマジカ」の
シアンとしてバンドデビューすることに!!
戸惑いながらも音楽を通して成長していくシアンだが、
果たして、ゲームの世界に送り込まれた本当の理由とは・・・。

I'd really appreciate it if you could replace the summary in the article so people don't get mislead and confused about the actual premise of the show.

I really did not expect Bones to be the ones doing the animation ( or the animation to be that good). I'm kinda iffy about them, but I may give them a chance and give this series a look. I like the character designs (and all the variation among them) and the fact that it's by Sanrio is interesting enough for me to check out.
