This trailer looks good and polished. It reminds me of "The Elusive Samurai", perhaps because of the setting, the art style, and the color pallette used in it.

I rarely watch historical anime, but I remember being interested in this since its teaser PV dropped. CyPic is working on it, after all.

I was already curious about this show from the previous announcement, but now I'm actually hyped. Feels like it could be the sleeper hit of of the season.

Looks like some amazing animation. I don't watch that many historical anime, but I'll be watching this. Cypic is the new name of CygamesPictures, who have been putting out really top quality anime, so I'm excited.

This looks very polished. Can the quality reach the highs of The Elusive Samurai..?

Anyway, give me 2D-animated dancing sequences and I'm there.
