The foot rest area in the worst part of the seat. It is very tiny and will hinder any foot movement freely

It is like a foot cage

It looks like LH is still not willing to give C class passengers the desire comfort in order to protect their first class revenues.

You are right! In the photo (animation) it looks decidedly slanted.

If you are travelling alone and you have a window seat, I find it harder in this arrangement to get to the isle, compared to current LH and TK seats.

I look forward to a TR from somebody taller than 185cm in this new seat...

It looks quite disappointing. Foot rest area is far too small. I am not impressed.
Here are some videos:

Anyone know the bavarian word "füssl'n"? Great seats to do that (if your neighbor is pretty enough)

Anyway, I've been watching European airlines closley, and it at least looks like a decent flat bed.

Qatar seems to have done a better job, with a similar arrangment
