Originally announced last June, The Teardrop Crystal looks to be an adaptation of the Jumi storyline found in Legend of Mana. While the teaser trailer itself doesn't show any animation, it does show the anime designs for many characters, including Shiloh, Elazul, Pearl, Esmerelda, Sandra, Florina, and Diana. You can check out the new Opening Movie for the re-release, made by the same studios, to get an idea of what the anime series may look like.
