- a character-driven rather than plot-driven (or humour-driven) kind of show.

- 4-komas are very difficult to adapt, so not really expecting anything mind boggling... on the other hand, it should allow the staff to have more liberties as to what direction the show is going to take. How are they going to use these creative licenses or in what ways they are going to be conveyed/executed is still uncertain.
There is only one volume of the manga out. Unless they throw in tons of filler or stretch the plot out, there's no way they are going to have 13-14 episodes with the story of one manga volume, let alone a possible 24 episode show.

I suspect they will start off like the manga but make up their own story and conclusion for the later half or so as was done for FMA. Leave it to KyoAni's script writers.
