I don’t know what the reason for downvoting this post is. But mayhaps funneling a few fediverse comments on an official channel will at least put this place on the map, so to speak, for the Japanese language-first media we are fans of?

The Wisewolf will eventually learn the ways of streaming in the 21st century.

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.

What better way for Holo to join us in the Reiwa era, than to have her own VTuber model to hawk goods. Episode 1 of Holo the Wisewolf’s YouTuber debut!

Some things I learnt from watching the promotional event (restricted to Japan it seems) at Anime Japan. Do correct me if it seems I misunderstood or misremembered some parts of the interview:

• The production crew is making the distinction between the earlier adaptation and the remake by referring to them as 平成版 (Heisei-era version) or 令和版 (Reiwa-era version).

• Koshimizu Ami mentions everyone from novel-only, Heisei-era, to now Reiwa-era enjoyers to find pleasure in the versions they like, without trying to compare which versions are superior.

• Koshimizu Ami expresses that she feels the years in the industry, and just gaining more life experience itself, will allow her to portray a Holo with more maturity with just the right balance of childishness.

• Nakahara Mai is replaying Norah with the idea that this is a different Norah from a different work.

For real, that nostalgia hit slowly crept up on me as I realised what song Fuwamoco was covering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp2f8iIZrdY&t=7705s

I learnt how to use OBS just so I can export my screen to the camera feed because of Zoom’s immensely confounding oversight considering their profit.

I started bingeing even before the final 4 episodes came out. Can confirm it is extremely addictive and bingeable.

Seeing depressed Miorine without any uniforms, it just hits you she is just a kid. A kusogaki who is just slightly more well-informed than everyone else.

What’s the situation like purchasing outside of Japan? I tried for decades to buy ebooks and neither Kobo nor Amazon would just let me give them my capitalist tokens as long as I didn’t have a Japanese payment card.

Just pirated the books eventually because it was literally easier than trying to pay them.

I too am anime only. The only series since Madoka Magica that compelled me to rewatch episodes while still airing.
