So… will this be a stroke of genius from Studio DEEN?

Earlier today, an official website and Twitter account opened their doors to announce that Chinese comic Aguu -Tensai Ningyō- (Aguu: Genius Dolls) will receive an anime adaptation.

Studio DEEN is working on the project, which is a collaboration with Chinese company Tencent. A teaser visual was released to promote the project, which you can check out below:
