From the PVs, it seems like this show will be more focused on the club in a school setting. But, things like "era of the gods" and "dealing with a mysterious being called 'Vertex'" makes me think that we are actually in for some magic and action.

If I didn't pay any attention to the description of the series, the PVs alone would make it seem like it's based around a club that is similar to the one seen in Chuunibyou. Yeah, I'd jump to the conclusion that no real magic is actually involved.

This will probably have a lot of more slice of life themes in it.

This is going to be at least 95% school club slice of life with the other 5% being action of some sort.

I'd say the key point is at :58. Whether it's real magical girl show or not depends on what that is.

Is it weird to admit what has me most interested is the girl in the wheelchair? Since it's an anime original, this could get really interesting. Or be really bad. Or be both, why not?

Since this is just the introduction, most likely thirty percent of it's going to be funny slice of life, seventy percent is going to be pain and misery like.. you should know by now. Enjoy!

Yeah, I'm wondering about this thanks to those two spots lol.

Hmmm... I think I am going to watch this just for that black-haired wheelchair girl.

I hope you're wrong. Only because, if this is going to go for a 12 episodes run, it'd probably mean that any real plot will be in the last episodes and seem rushed. Laughing

Also, I'll put up my hand when it comes to being interested in the wheelchair bound character. It's something that I'm sure has been seen, but it's something that I've not encountered much. Off the top of my head, I can only think of Walkure Romanze having a wheelchair bound character, but she wasn't one of the mains.

Try this trainwreck. Or this. Also, X-Men films.

I've been meaning to check out Letter Bee.

And, I should've added "in anime", as I've come across wheelchair bound characters in other entertainment mediums. Yeah, I do differentiate anime from other animation.

Professor X was one character I came across as a kid, thanks to the 90s animated series. Though, what he used in that cartoon really wasn't a wheelchair. Laughing
