While Otome is at the heart of the main story I really hope the show does proper justice to the band and the whole deal with Koko and Nanaka. It's the second most important plot point in my opinion and the girls need closure - even if it ends with both girls getting dumped.

Hmm... I think there's actually a lot more to go in that first segment, including (without being specific)
Spoiler for vague, vague references to sections of the game:
the play, the trip, the shrine, and so on. In the game, the band story really doesn't start until the new year (i.e. 2/3 of the game), so I'd expect something similar here. Actually, if we're looking at a 26-episode series, I expect that, starting around episode 14 or so, they'll probably do Minatsu, then the Band, then the tree/Sakura/Otome setup, then Anzu, then Sakura/Otome finale. I'm not sure how they'll fit Yume in yet -- probably try to align her plot with Otome, or tell it completely standalone.
It'll be interesting to see how they re-write some of the game arcs to keep the same essential plot points, without having Yoshiyuki be in love. That is, of course, assuming they remain close to the game's story (at least for the middle portions). We'll see...
