After getting its first TV spot just a few days ago, the anime adaptation of the light novel series Saenai, aka Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata: egoistic-lily, has now brought out a new minute long promo video. The promo shows off a lot more of the show at this stage while also giving us a taste of the vocal material as well.

The cast previously announced Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Tomoya Aki, Saori Ohnishi as Eriri Spencer Sawamura, Ai Kayano as Utaha Kasumigaoka and Sayuri Yahagi as Michiru Hyodou.
