Staff
Director: Tsuyoshi Nagasawa
He has experience with ecchi anime but has directed only a few works. His background doesn’t seem to include projects that demand significant action scenes.
Series Composition: Misuzu Chiba
She has limited notable projects, but her role has consistently been related to series composition or scripting. Currently, she is also working on another anime in the winter season.
Sound Director: Kisuke Koizumi
Highly experienced in this role, with credits in popular anime like Chainsaw Man, Summertime Render, and Dororo. Like Misuzu Chiba, he is involved in another winter season anime.
Special mention to Akari Nanawo for her work in theme song performances. I really enjoyed her singing One Room Sugar from Happy Sugar Life.

Voice Actors
Rie Takahashi as Alina Clover
A highly talented voice actress best known for voicing Emilia in Re:Zero and Megumin in KonoSuba. She is likely very busy this season as she’s working on three other anime.
Aoi Koga as Lululee Ashford (Support)
Another outstanding voice actress. While she often voices supporting characters, she is best known for her role as Shinomiya Kaguya in Kaguya-sama: Love is War.
Yuu Serizawa as Laila (Support)
Though less well-known than the others, she is still a great choice for the role.
Final Consideration
Preview
Overall, the preview looks good. The action scenes, where Alina fights monsters, seem a bit stiff, but the comedic moments are very enjoyable. The director’s background in fanservice is evident in certain scenes.
Synopsis
The story is simple but original, which could make it a fun watch.
Staff
The team seems capable overall, but action-heavy moments may not be their strong suit.
Studio
CloveWorks is an excellent studio, so no concerns here.
Voice Actors
The cast is solid, with no significant issues to worry about.
Conclusion
The weakest link in the team appears to be the director. While he will likely excel in comedic moments, it remains to be seen how he handles more intense scenes. In conclusion, I recommend giving the first few episodes a try. It seems like it will be a fun watch.
