1. Main attraction for me is Hayami Saori, both as a seiyuu and as a singer. I just wish they would give her songs to sing by herself, rather than continually pairing with other far inferior singers. For me, Hayamin has one of the most beautiful singing voices in the world, but it is being wasted by mismanagement.
2. No Shinbou. The director is Yoshimura Ai, a young storyboarder/episode director from Sunrise Studio 5 (according to
this wiki), who has done eps of Gintama' and Daily Lives of High School Boys.
3. Using the word "snafu" is ridiculous. It is WW2 slang that went out of common use long ago. But I sympathize, since the title is indeed hard to find a good translation for.
EDIT: Actually, this show has two more of my favorite seiyuus in it: Yuuki Aoi and Sasaki Nozomi. The show will have to be quite bad for me not to watch, just for those three voices.
