Premieres August 2024. The new PV is here. Check out the ANN article for additional cast/staff information. Synopsis of the source manga from AniList:

Since the Edo periods of Japan, gladiator arenas exist in certain areas. In these arenas, wealthy business owners and merchants hire gladiators to fight in unarmed combat where winner takes all. Tokita Ohma, nicknamed "Ashura", joins these arenas and devastates his opponents. His spectacular ability to crush his enemies catches the attention of the big business owners, including the Nogi Group chairman, Nogi Hideki.

I really enjoyed the manga, and the anime is apparently entirely 3D CGI.

Did it turn out any good?

To me, it's one of those rare exceptions where the odd CG look of the characters and the movements works in favor of the show's particularly bizarre atmosphere, instead of against it, e.g. CG girls trying to be cute.

Even the clips of Karura trying to be suggestive or sexy work well because they look so bizarre.

You can find loads of clips of the show on YouTube to see if they work for you.
