KiyoshiStar Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 Since they're saying "will premiere in theaters", does that mean it's like a hour-long OVA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure at this point. Seems to infer it's just an episode and not a movie, but no length has been given. Some people thought initially it was a season 2 announcement, but that doesn't seem to be the case, despite the title being the title of the 6th chapter of the 5th volume.

lucaslink2 Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Is it recap or based on the novels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like in my previous post, all we know at this point is that it shares the title of "the 6th chapter of the 5th volume" and the key art displays snow which hasn't happened yet. So it suggests it's likely about that particular arc of the novels and not a recap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanis Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 I hope it's good and not an end to the series. I'm still salty about a lack of season 2 on Tanya...movie only? BAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckgoose Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 I heard it is going to be a movie. Can't wait for it to get dubbed in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wootism Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Seeing how there's snow at the end of the video, maybe they're gonna cover the noble fencer arc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
