The key visual features the three main characters, Seishirou Sakurazuka, Hokuto Sumeragi and Subaru Sumeragi, surrounded by cherry blossoms.

The characters have clearly been given an upgrade from the earlier manga avatar but fans don’t seem to dig Seishirou’s new character design.

In the second promotional video, the city overlooks the Tokyo skyline which looks completely different from the version shown in the manga.

A sequence is shown where Subaru is using swords and it looked super cool. The second PV looks all the more promising for the much anticipated anime.

The event revealed that cast member Shouta Aoi will be performing the opening theme, and Nana Mizuki will be performing the ending theme.
