A PV was shown during today's noitaminA press conference. Unlike Shiki and Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei, it isn't getting uploaded on the anime's official website though... so I've been looking around and found a LQ version (Nicovideo), recorded from the live stream of the conference. All of it is animated (with some scenes I suspect might be from the OP), & we get to hear the OP two months early.
Edit: Here's the trailer with a much better quality. Thank Manuloz on Manganimation.

I am a big Mochizuki Tomomi fan. He directed Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, Zettai Shounen and Shinigami no Ballad. He wrote Yami to Boushi to Hon and Touka Gettan. For me, his anime are always interesting and enjoyable. We'll see what he can do with this story.
The music in the trailer is the OP, by someone called immi. The character design is not my favorite, but I saw more and more expression as it went on, so I think I can learn. The cast is good: Namikawa Daisuke, Sakurai Takahiro, Uchida Yuya. This is one of the shows I am looking forward to, hoping for the best

Wow, I am so digging that song in the PV
The art style looks very interesting too. I've heard of Ristorante Paradiso before, but never bothered to watch it (I might after this) Either way, I'm anticipating on checking out this series. It seems like Manglobe is getting back on track (sorry but Blacksmith wasn't all that great) |

In terms of business, this is much the same as Blacksmith. Manglobe traditionally focussed on original anime that they created from scratch. However, they're now forced to take on random adaptations (obviously produced on rushed schedules) like everyone else.

I'm also looking forward to this, though that last trailer really confirms what I've been suspecting for a while, that its going be as sedately paced and 'deliberate' as Ristorante Paradiso; should be interesting, and besides, we have Rurouni Kenshin/Sword of the Stranger for samurai action, anyway!

Going to check it out for Manglobe and the eye catching artstyle and overall story sounds quite nice.
The last trailer did the same for me as well, never saw Ristorante Paradiso as that wasn't my kind of show, but slower paced drama can be good, so it'll all be up to the story for me I think. While true, it's still been a while now since we've had a good show along those lines like Champloo, Kurogane, or Kenshin, aside from the sweet Sword of the Stranger movie. |

^^I just saw it on Hulu. It was really, really good. Awesome BGM. The character designs take getting used to, but once you get used to it, the "ugliness" dissipates. It oddly reminds me of Mushishi--the pacing, and the strange laid-back personality of the main character, Yaichi. Loving Takahiro Sakurai's voice for Yaichi -- wow, this man has a certain cadence quality to his voice that cannot be denied.
Interesting story so far, will keep watching. Edit: should probably move this to currently airing. |

Should be moved to Currently airing since it's now started.
Here's something interesting...this has already been licensed by Funimation. Within 24 hours of the first ep airing? This is unlike them....they must be pretty certain this will be a success.
