If you're interested, make a point of watching
Touka Gettan episode 21, which was written by Noto Mamiko and performed by Hayami Saori. Noto-sensei wrote lines that would have flowed easily off her own tongue and did flow easily off the tongue of the then-16-year-old Hayamin.
True Tears made me a fan of PA Works forever. Nothing since has risen to quite that level for me, but I'm always excited for a new PA Works show.
Sounds to me as if we have a capable director and an excellent writer for this show. To quote my own season preview (now being written, lol): "Veteran director Shinohara Toshiya did various
Inuyasha movies, as well as
Gunparade Orchestra and
Book of Bantorra. Veteran writer Yokote Michiko was lead writer on such shows as
Princess Tutu, Genshiken, XXXholic, Squid Girl, and
Joshiraku."
EDIT: I just watched the preview stream of episode one, and I'm totally hooked. Intriguing plot. Strong characters. Excellent voicing by Hayamin in particular: her tone of voice as the heroine had me writhing in sympathy with her uncertainty and discomfort. And some excellent scenes and framing.
