How I found out the first episode was out was from the YouTube algorithm recommending me ClariS's ED for the show, Andante.

The algorithm knows me disturbingly well.
As an enjoyer of the original anime, which led to me getting the novels, and then subsequent purchases of some of the other works of Hasekura Isuna, I am delighted that we are revisiting this universe, and hopefully, finish the adaptation this round.
I like the changes made. I felt some of the early details in the novels were sufficiently fleshed out more. More importantly, I am happy with the reunification of Koshimizu Ami and Fukuyama Jun.
Happy travels everyone!
Weird to say the least... But if people simping for the vtuber means we'll get the whole thing adapted, then be my guest.
It's the TOHO animation channel though, where they don't have comments turned on.
Until very recently, they even cut short music videos on their channel artificially.
Methinks they are not very good at this promotional thing in the Internet age. Definitely not the Oshi no Ko channel in terms of marketing prowess.
That's not that uncommon all things considered, PR doesn't seem to be the forte of most Japanese companies. Too corporate and protective of their assets to a fault.
