Your best guess is as good as anyone's.
Most evidence is pointing towards it being an OVA/ONA anyways.
Well it seems to have Hagani 2, that other SHAFT show, Vived Red, Minami-ke 4 and get hype, the next stage of AKB0048!!!

Hey, don't forget Yama no Susume!
Aoi and Hinata are childhood friends. Aoi prefers staying indoors and is afraid of heights, whereas Hinata is outgoing and loves mountaineering. They both decide to climb a mountain, in order to see a sunrise they saw together when they were younger.
with Kana Asumi (as Hinata),Yuka Iguchi (as Hinata) and Yui Ogura (as Kokona)!

Yeah. I think it's because of the affection paid to that particular element of the past. It's almost like Only Yesterday, actually. Although, I suppose not every past event necessarily has to be tragic either, for you to learn from it.
Cast:
Aoi -- Yuka Iguchi
Hinata -- Kana Asumi
Kokona -- Yui Ogura
I said god damn.

In a better world, this story would go terribly awry.

Maybe this should be linked again as its subject matter is once again thrust under the spotlight.
Pale Cocoon
A haunting and atmospheric science fiction tale. Set in a dystopian future where humanity lives a meager existence in an artificial underground environment, forgetting even their history, Pale Cocoon tells the story of the few people remaining who care enough to compile archives of the happier past. Given its short running time, the plot is necessarily tightly-knit, but it effectively uses its central conceit as a vehicle for characterization. The central characters do not speak much of their relationship, but we understand it well enough from their actions. Yoshiura seems to come into his own here, as he uses movements through 3D space to great effect.
I feel like Yoshiura makes much better use of CGI than most anime directors, and I think that's due to several reasons. For one, he doesn't use it as a cheap gimmick or cost-saving measure. His sweeping camera movements and frequent POV shots are legitimate visual tools he uses to communicate meaning in an interesting way, as part of his directorial repertoire. The other part of it is that he has a good sense of design, and his CG environments are interesting both on a structural level, and in terms of lighting. Too many CG backgrounds are ruined by flat, boring lighting and repetition of bland elements. And finally, he knows when using a traditional background element will still be more effective.
You know, if Aquatic Language felt like Time of Eve's prototype, in certain ways Pale Cocoon feels like the prototype of Patema Inverted, though there's some clear differences in this case. All things considered, I'd strongly recommend Pale Cocoon to anyone who likes science fiction and anime.

Damn. Kira and Lacus have been on the list ten years lol.
I can deal with the top 4 girls somewhat but what the fuck at putting C.C. below Asuna and Nanoha? This shit is rigged.

Rider looks so out of place there. Asuna being lower than Kuroyukihime is just awful.

I just realized that while translating the modes of the gun, I actually messed something up. The disintegration mode is called Decomposer. Yup, it's definitely written by a Japanese dude.
Edit: Also, Gen Butch is totally a JRPG writer. "Sibyl System" hmm.... "The word Sibyl (in English, /ˈsɪbəl/) comes (via Latin) from the Greek word σίβυλλα sibylla, meaning prophetess."
Lol.
This sounds suggestive.

Yup, it's definitely written by Urobuchi.
