K-ON! and 22/7 character designer Yukiko Horiguchi will be involved in the project as the chief animation director and character design supervisor.

I watched the video and immediately thought of her. Glad I was not disappointed.

The video has me interested. Can't wait to see what they have in store.

Edit:
Is the character's name Rin or Lin? Or are those actually two different characters?

In Japanese there's no phonemic distinction between the "l" and "r" phones. Hence, when using our western alphabet, Rin and Lin are both valid spellings of the name.

I know that, but as this is an English article I'd prefer if the English name of the same character doesn't change the spelling every other sentence.

I wonder if the use of both Rin and Lin is intentional here.

Don't know. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
