Could a slice of life show about a bunch of guys work in the same way?
I'm sure a similar show with a mixed cast could...it was done well over here with Peanuts.

(Which I am told does not exist)
The logo and box all indicate an ADV product.
2 possibilities jump out at me.
1: I have inadvertently used my entire lifetime allotment of "swell"...on producing a nonexistent cartoon DVD out of the ether....as opposed to hair.... or a cure for cancer....superpowers...or something of greater monetary value than $19.99...meaning it's all downhill from this point.
2: It's A SINISTER CONSPIRACY!!
# 2 seems the one to hope for....

I'm really not impressed with the art style or the animation.
Hmmm...2 male leads...one is an idiot...one is a nebbish.
feh...
OK, the Nebbish hero (?) is a digger in a Dystopic underground village...
It's like Logans Run meets Dirty Jobs....
Good grief...is there such a thing as "Gainax Opening"?
This show was heavily hyped.
This makes it is clear that the popular culture has passed me by. I think I'm gonna...wait..what..?

Can the series live up to that? Doubtful...
and yet...
The toy add was SO sublime ..
Mission E...sequel(?) to Code E...Yet another excuse to watch the rest of Code E which I thought had much promise.
Ikkitousen Great Guardians....Let me say quite loudly for the benefit of any EEOC officers, Liberal Arts professors, and insecure female graduate assistants that I am deeply and profoundly offended by the very existence of this pathologically pointless and prurient show...that is my story and I am sticking to it.
(Update: Wonderduck has thoughts)
(Update: You Tube added, still not the OP, but a 5min clip)
lawd that is...cheery...

Founded in 1992 by John Ledford and Matt Greenfield two Texas anime fans, ADV is one of the more established and prolific outfits to focus on licensing anime here.
Now it appears they, like the much larger and better financed Geneon may have fallen victim to the fact that it is pretty damned impossible to really compete with fan-subbers who's overhead consists of Mountain Dew and pretzels.......... as opposed to rights, distribution infrastructure, advertising, translator and tech salaries, taxes, legal fees, printing, inventory and rent or property taxes on the spaces needed to house said overhead.
This is not good.
UPDATE: There is very good discussion in the comments at the Chizumatic post.
ADV's website is currently down.
