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!
