Trying to hype this series a bit since I think this might be one of the hidden gems this season if done right. It's a seinen series, and that automatically makes me biased towards it since it's a target market that is quite infrequent in anime.
I read the first volume of the manga, and it has quite a few interesting characters that will make this a fun series. There's also a good balance between college life, political/social/war dilemmas and consequences, and probably some racing.
A bit disappointed to see anidb listing this series as 12 episode long as the manga is currently 8 volumes long and ongoing. I hope they don't take any shortcuts just to fit their needs of a compressed story.
First episode RAW is out for those who want to get an early peek:

Anyways, I have a bit of high expectations for this one. Looking at the trailers it seems to have good animation. I hope this doesn't end dissapointing me.
