Hmm interesting.

I didn't expect Wit Studio to be producing this. I hope it will deliver though.

I was confusing this with Turning Girls xD
The character design looks nice, I will probably check this out once it begins airing.

So, skateboarders? Bicyclists? Motorcyclists? The promo makes me think it's the latter, with the traffic lights, road signs, and what looks like a driver's license or permit that the one girl has.

Is "Rookie" supposed to be a place or organization?
Because if they'd be using English all over the place, they shouldn't get the grammar wrong.

From the promo image, looks like I'm seeing false IDs and/or passports? Maybe these girls are runaways illegally traveling the country, or globe? lol

The only look-alike I see is Monogatari's Shinobu wearing a hoodie and a gas mask.

Alright, another SHAFT show!! *Reads article over* Oh…wait…

Jokes aside, it looks mildly interest, based on the sand speck of info available. I just hope that people don't have a predisposition over what every Wit Studio show is going to look or be like following Attack on Titan (or HAL, to a much lesser extent), and throw the eventual fit over it "not being like what the studio does". It's too early to gauge what kind of works the studio will turn out or what their definitive style is (personally, as long as you do a good job at what you are doing, more power to you). So, take a deep breath, particular AoT lovers…

More like Hatsune Miku's Rolling Girl song.

I don't remember Shinobu wearing a gas mask. I do remember a helmet with goggles.

When I saw the character with a gas mask, I was reminided of World Conquest's Jimon.


On this show, no idea what to think.
