Why is it always school girls? Is it too much to ask to have a moe-less anime?

.Still no clean version of the Newtype illustration spread yet, but the character page on the official site updated with some key outline art of the newly revealed characters.
Kill-la-Kill stuff!
Some basic info for the four heavenly kings.
Uzu Sanageyama is in charge of athletic clubs like Tennis and Boxing.
Houka Inumuta is in charge of the budget and likes taking stuff apart. He's in charge of tactical information and the like.
Ira Gamagoori is in charge of the morals committee. He swears absolute loyalty to Satsuki.
Nonon Jakuzure in charge of the culture clubs.

For some reason I'm not surprised the third guy is listed as having "absolute loyalty." He really does look the part.
RyougaSaotome is pretty cool:
-Director: Hiroyuki Imaishi (Dead Leaves, Gurren-Lagann, Panty & Stocking)
-Series Composition/Script: Kazuki Nakashima (Gurren-Lagann, Oh! Edo Rocket, Kamen Rider Fourze)
-Character Designer: Sushio (One Piece Movie 6, Kittan-Zero)
-Animation Production: Trigger (INFERNO COP, Little Witch Academia)
Do we have any idea who is doing the music? I REALLY hope it's Taku Iwasaki!

-Honnouji is a gigant, city-like structure that exists for the sake of Honnouji Academy, which posseses the power of the Extreme Uniform.
-The entire city is ruled by the Student Council, located at the tower in the middle.
-All students stay in the town area; there is a luxury section for the talented students and a miserable slum area for the lacking students.
-The Extreme Uniform is one of the key elements of the story; it holds the power to trascend human limitations and change the world. It enhances the natural talents of the individual and grants them special abilities related to their skills, personalities and ambitions. The Student Council President, Satsuki, should be the only want with the authority to grant the power of the Extreme Uniform.
-The world itself is very wild and violent and fights break out constantly; society consists of a meritocracy enforced by fear and the Student Council; it’s a culture of might makes right and the strong rule over the weak is absolute.
-The story starts at the huge gates of Honnouji; armed with a half-scissor basami sword and a Extreme Uniform of mysterious origin, a lone girl starts her journey into city. Thus begins the tale of Matoi Ryuuko...
NewType: KLK is Trigger’s first TV series. Trigger’s CEO Ootsuka says that he feels driven ("triggered") by the studio’s passion, and the work continues to largely expand.
Otsuka: KLK is a project that was planned even before Trigger got established. At first, it was just a one-episode story, and we thought we could make it simpler… but as we were reviewing the script with Imaishi and Nakajima, we decided to redo the whole script to make it more interesting.
As a result, the project became something quite overwhelming. Of course, you can’t really stop once you decide to make something amazing (laughs). We were rather worried because Trigger’s a new company with limited vitality/manpower and budget, but we only put in our best effort. It’s a show without any brakes attached, to the point where Nakajima-san even began to worry.
NewType: So it became an all-out, explosive work.
Otsuka: As the studio’s CEO, I have the feeling that there’s been many lines crossed (laughs). The proper procedure would involve preparing a budget, predicting the outcome, and THEN making a good show. But from what I’ve seen, Imaishi and the Trigger crew want a show that breaks away from tradition. No matter how difficult it is, they want to pour in their individuality and bring forth quality. They can only make things by removing limiters (laughs).
NewType: Kazuki Nakajima was in charge of virtually the entire script. The initial plan involved more writers participating, but as meetings progressed, Nakajima became the only one who could continue the script.
Otsuka: The Nakajima plus Imaishi concentration is very much higher than TTGL’s. I participated in the Gurren Lagann discussions and had some input, but the director is really running it this time. I felt that he has greatly matured since Gurren Lagann, and our meetings make me only more confident."
NewType: So it’s a work with a studio decided to break all limits and with a rich script.
Otsuka: The afurekos (off-recording) will also be very interesting. The cast this time is really quite splendid. I think Imaishi and Sushio’s visions will expand even further once the cast provide their voices. The show’s universe and settings will also grow even more. I’m looking forward to that.
NewType: Ootsuka served as assistant director for Gurren Lagann, but this time he is merely backup support, without any hand in the process. The veteran is a supporting pillar in the upcoming project.
Otsuka: All I can do for now is see it through to the finish. We have a mission, and I’ll continue to support this production site from the back.
When is this starting?
