| Okay the way they draw the background characters in Shadow like that is pretty hilarious! |
 |
| Looks like a emotional drama. Definitely a must watch. |
| Who is the third character on the cover? As far as I remember, there are two central female characters. |
 |
| Admittedly, I'm a little less sold on the visuals with this teaser than I was on the first one that came out, but two of the series I've been looking forward to got postponed, so it's a relief that this news was just more info. At first, when I read winter 2026, I thought that meant December of next year and wasn't thinking in terms of anime seasons, so it's also a relief that it's actually January of next year. |
