Awesome, it looks incredible. Can't wait for this and the second season of Bleach.
I'll never understand why some particular yuri (and yaoi) fans feel the need to insult and be disappointed about series that were OBVIOUSLY never supposed to be yuri (or yaoi) in any way whatsoever.
It makes them look like pathetic, immature people that don't know how to look for things that appeal to them without throwing a tantrum.
And I say this as someone who loves yuri, by the way.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. Like a media for its merit not for its labels. How shallow a people are we sometimes.
Yuri is my life though. Yet I know how to find it. And it’s often in the things we least expect. Little gems in a sea of something different.

If you want yuri with no "dumb boys", then find a specific tag and watch yuri anime. This is a shonen that starts with two girls meeting a boy.

So glad this is getting a worldwide release, I was so excited when it was announced but it's so hard to get anime movies. Hyped!!!

Was looking forward to a shounen with a female lead, turns out it is only 3 episodes. Honestly sad day for me. Looks great otherwise.
Aug 24, 2020 5:42 AM by Calal-Chan
Really looking forward to this. Studio Colorido has never disappointed with their art and animation.

it's only short series folks, both anime and manga. kubo didn't want a long series.
Aug 23, 2020 6:56 PM by Kuma
this might be only 3 episode OVA seeing that the manga will only be 4 chapters
reminds me of those old short OVAs from the 1990s
and Noel looks great in color too
EDIT:
yep confirmed only 3 episodes damn https://twitter.com/WSJ_manga/status/1297551982622904329

I think the manga is only going to be one volume since it's just four chapters long.
Aug 23, 2020 4:10 PM by Zhou
Hoped for a new TV series tho.

Exactly.
It's so rewarding to look and investigate for media you like and enjoy, as opposed to waste time and effort complaining on the internet for stupid and invalid reasons.
