Capcom has released a trailer of their game adaptation of the conceptually wacky manga series Rosario + Vampire (Rosario and the Vampire). As you'd expect for a game based on manga and anime, the trailer spends most of its time showing some anime footage, then fits some actual gameplay in at the end.
Past the adventure-game-style location searching, past the cutscene of the poor protagonist being bitten by his vampire girlfriend (what did he expect?) and past the clicking-on-floating-hearts minigame, you can catch a glimpse of the unusual touchscreen-based combat. On the bottom screen, it looks just like an Ouendan-type thing. On the top, it's a 2D fighting game!

Anime great? Are we watching the same thing? The manga is average and mostly amusing, but the anime is pitiful. Horrible animation, low budget, GONZO "quality", etc.
Game looks like standard anime/manga -> video game adaptation. Nothing too special about it.

I for one like Gonzo. Namely for Blue Sub/Last Exie/ N.H.K., the list goes on good sir.

Watching the anime made me want to gouge my eyes out. Seriously, there's no words in the English language to describe how bad it is. I liked a few Gonzo series too (Last Exile, Chrno Crusade), but this is just a polished turd.
I expect the game to be just as bad.
