Uuuh, Quna will be there too...

[the_importer_]

I hope all of the NPCs of PSO2 make it in there, they're the real stars of the game.

[reaper527]

that promo pic is pretty... not impressive visually. it looks like an early 2000's anime.

[Dycize]

Plot twist : the Quna here is just an imposter player (nah the injoke would be too much).
This animation studio doesn't ring any bells to me, and the director worked on harem/romcom stuff. And whatever genre Million Doll is supposed to be.
I guess the real world parts will be the focus >_> Or something.
If not for the promo pic, I'd expect a slice of life about PSO2 players.

[Unnamed Player]

Maybe i'm wrong but the main character looks like your typical shounen
protagonist... y'know the ones with a goofball personality. v.v

[RadiantLegend]

I approve of that cast parts.

[Mega Ultra Chicken]

For some reason, I'm thinking that the white-haired Deuman guy is played by that brown-haired girl. ...Or the blonde girl.

[DrCatco]

Hmmm, I don't know... It doesn't look good.

You have the human protagonist (hunter), a little bit clumsy, but always giving his best; the deuman antagonist (braver), a tormented genius with a dark past; the female Newman (force), very powerful but without experience and prone to make mistakes; and another female human (ranger), introvert, reserved, but her secret is...

And of course, the cast is the main enemy.

I hope I'm wrong.

[Zanverse]

You can't really judge something as a whole by just looking at some fuzzy teaser poster thing. I'm waiting for a trailer.

[Nyansan]

So, basically it's gonna be similar to PSO2 Onstage? Also, Shoutan is lead guy again. Quna(?) there so Eri Kitamura aswell, I think.

I wonder if this will be one of those, "Get introduced, find out some other doods at your school do it too, fall in love with one of them," kind of animes?

I don't really surprised if it's turned out to be fall on your knee and touch something squishy in the process on regular basis kind of show...

[TaigaUC]

Ugh. More school uniform stuff.
Makes me want to go back to PSO1 where everyone wasn't in high school.

[Meteor Weapon]

Typical stereotype looking protagonist, I'm disappointed and losing interest already

"I got your power. Now I can save the world!"
