Premieres sometime in 2026. Notably, this is an anime adaptation of the story from Suikoden II, and it is the first full series directly handled by the Konami Animation studio. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis of Suikoden II from the article:

Haruhiism never truly went away — it's back in full force thanks to a crowdfunding project creating new songs inspired by The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya!

When was the last time your top 1 overall anime got changed? (reddthat.com)

Takopi's Original Sin unsat Violet Evergarden series + 2020 movie as my top 1 when I finished it last week. It's not perfect perfect, yet I fail to think of any other non-movie anime that is as consistent and complete in its overall quality as this.

When was the first time you cried over an anime? (reddthat.com)

submitted 1 day ago by mo_lave@reddthat.com to c/anime@ani.social

60 comments fedilink

I cried in 5 out of 6 episodes of Takopi's Original Sin. The me of 2020 wouldn't believe it.

First time it happened was on completing Violet Evergarden the Movie on late 2021. Haven't cried for more than 10 years prior to that, and it was the first I did so because I'm very happy for Violet.

What's yours?
