The animation looks nice.
So, is this a romance story?

It looks like it will be a war love story except with two differences with the standard story. one it will have magic and two it will be a WomenXWomen Relationship.

Hey as long as it remains consistent and character development stays fluent i am all in for it.

It's strange that both the staff and studio have yet to be revealed. Though, if I had to make a guess as to what studio is behind this project it would be A-1 Pictures. The character designs, and overall animation style, evokes a lot of their work. Hopefully it turns out well; I don't hate their work, like a lot other people, but they can be hit or miss for me.

I'm little disappointed since the 1st trailer suggested it was the beginning of World War 2 with a witch set in France.

But the newest trailer reveals it's a fantasy World War 2 in a fictional Europe.

Nevertheless, i'll watch it if it's good.

Does definitely sound like some yuri potential. I'm good with that. For some reason the whole feel of this is reminding me of Maria the Virgin Witch, but other than the historical setting with witches, I'm not 100% sure why that is. If it turns out anything like that, I'll be quite happy though.

It really depends the staff which is, as you said, oddly not yet revealed. They're really keeping it a surprise.

Now this is the kind of yuri that I want, if it is actually a yuri anime. This could be the Yuuki Yuuna of the season. Heck, this is like Yuuki Yuuna (with the art) in a WW2-like setting.

I'm really excited for this Anime especially since all signs point to Yuri being a key factor in this show. Not to mention that the setting is derived from WW2 and I'm a big history buff. Also the Animation is quite beautiful. Very Happy

Considering the amount of anime recently that has teased at yuri, but never went all the way with it, i'm still skeptical as to how much of a romance series this will be. Probably more of a "Best friends that are a little bit closer than best friends normally are with slight yuri teasing, but not actually going all the way with it" genre is what i'm expecting.

This looks really good. From what I've seen of it is is kind of steampunk-ish, with a potential yuri romance angle. Two of my favorite things... Even if neither show up, the visuals look gorgeous!

This looks like a very interesting combination of magic with the war.

The animation looks great.
