Protagonist's country is occupied or in a occupied country, he also will lead a rebellion or join a rebellion. Expect the side that the protagonist is on to betray him or the one doing it is someone higher up in the rebellion somewhere toward the end. Protagonist or one of the main character will definitely be killed in the finale with a forced happy ending despite the death of the protagonist or one of the main character.

Also one last thing, expect the main/or one of heroine to be extremely popular and is paired with the protagonist but the ship existed only to be sunk at the end.

Ok one more last thing, the protagonist is a normal/regular human but his counter-part is someone who is extraordinary whether at fighting or at using brain or both.

one more more last thing... Please expect a lot of crazy stuffs, shocking events that come without any foreshadowing and rages.

This is your guide to a Okouchi's anime by someone who had watched all three of his original works.

According to your comment, I'll add one more thing: the original character designer behind these series is usually a manga artist known for drawing pretty-looking cast.

I could expect something a little different from our usual Ookouchi madness, we'll see where it goes. The pic shown above made me believe it's gonna be a sci-fi horror series which is a pretty rare combination in anime by the way (Betterman and M3 -that dark metal- comes to mind).

PV's out since it first goes announced with three other series from the same programming block:

There's a interview regarding the studio's future projects on Animage, hopefully it means there'll be some upcoming info going on soon.
