Regardless...

> 特2＋24＋2～3

> 87○（少し）、96男消、??○

> 参加ﾒｰﾀｰSSS期待◎

2 specials (?) + 24 confirmed + 2 or 3 more.
Stuff about airing times, I'd say. July for TBS, but... something about A channel's slot equalling Uta no something's. (Prince-sama?)
Brief appearance by 876, no 961... and some hidden extra character?
Half-Omnibus format...
... Animator is SSS quality.

Could be old information, honestly, and it's a leak rumor too.

"木星逝ったアアアアアアアアアアアアアアアアアアア"
"木星消滅"

...(QoQ) No appearances for Jupiter or anything 961Pro related?! Aww...

An 876 appearance would make me v. v. happy, however brief it is. Maybe they haven't quite fallen off the face of the earth just yet.

What if they're just in the background of some scene?

Background characters that we get to see for a spilt few seconds...

Illust #7 looks kind of flat
This time from the Nemurihime manga artist.

The guy just can't give Chihaya justice

On a side note, I'd rather have the 876's illustrator for that manga. I like his style

Also, 24 episodes? twice a week?

[Nope]

From Animate's seasonal anime magazine:



From the summary in the story section, it sounds like Producer-san, or an equivalent, won't be in the show:

The quirky idols of Production 765 all have a hidden radiance waiting to be uncovered, as if they were rough gemstones. Working together and supporting each other, the girls are going to overcome failures and hardships in order to discover their sparkling true selves!

[animagic4u]

Awww...they knew all my fave idols! <3
And omg! It's that stage from l4u except drawn.

Well...hopefully there is a producer-san. Even though we haven't seen him yet...at the very least there is Ritsuko!

[Clear Blue]

Miki's face....Oh no.

[Ghift]

I can't wait for all the melting face quality shots, but that's part of the fun of watching anime these days~

[Nope]

I really don't see anything wrong with Miki's face in this specific drawing, it's nothing like that old scan with fox-Takane.  It looks better than some of the stuff they've used for the stick posters or the card game.

I'm sure everything will look better in motion.

[TweenDoriru]

Miki's eye is a little far over on her face, but at least it's in line with her other eye. Definitely doesn't beat Yukiho's faceslide. Poor Yukiho...she's like, queen of the faceslide. D:

[Raestloz]

I'm worried with the variable quality they've been showing

I just hope that the end product is stable in terms of drawing style and quality. I don't want to see a beautiful face only to see a fox version of the exact same face within 10 minutes

[Nope]

I don't think the promotional art has been bad-looking outside of the infamous fox-face Takane. As for the TV show, I'm expecting it to be a good-looking show; the animation staff they've assembled is pretty solid and director Nishigori has his friends/connections in the business. I'm more worried about what the show is going to be about and if the writers are going to be able to properly manage 13 main characters without neglecting anyone.

I'm tellin' ya, man. Takuan.

Slap two of those on your eyebrows, you'll never melt again.

For some reason, I'm half expecting Azumanga-style 5/10 minute shorts, as if it were made from some 4-koma or something. But that's just me. Maybe they can string together in some loosely related over-arching way.
