I would so watch this if this became an anime. And yes, let's emphasize on decent budget. I was psyched to see Citrus got an anime adaptation but I honestly thought it looked terrible.
It's not just about looks, but also about getting talented VAs, direction, storyboarding, editing... Talent doesn't come cheap, unless you luck out and get a cast of rising stars early in their careers, and that's a gamble with long odds.
Not getting an anime adaption would hurt less than getting a really poorly made one that isn't enjoyable to watch, and that never gets more than one season.
