The director is Miyazaki Nagisa (a woman), who directed
DaCapo, Negima! (the first one), and
Kagihime Monogatari. She also wrote the script. Moonphase says 12x5min eps.
I'm interested to see Aoki Sayaka (Kyon's
imouto in
SHnY) as the first female listed on the Japanese site. She also played Sia in
Shuffle and is Miria Harvent in
Baccano. Mizuhashi Kaori and Sakakibara Yui are also in the cast, and the male lead is Toyonaga Toshiyuki (Ayumu in
Zettai Shounen, Kaname in
Umisho).
You can watch it on the
Chou! Animelo site or on
niconicodouga, according to
this page. Not sure if the first site will be available outside Japan, or if niconico will continue making it available after the supposed half-hour window.
First ep Saturday night at 23:30, Japan time.
