The Japanese website Hollywood Channel has posted a trailer for Ai no Kotodama ~Sekai no Hate Made~ (Words of Devotion: To the End of the World), the second live-action film inspired by Keiko Konno's Ai no Kotodama boys-love manga, on Wednesday. Satoshi Kaneda returns to direct the second film with Yasuka Saitou (live-action The Prince of Tennis) reprising his role of Tachibana. However, there are two new main characters: an advertising agency's IT worker named Hirofumi (Makoto Ueunobori) and a high-level agency employee named Shinji (Ryūnosuke Kawai). The film will open in Japan on August 7.
The official website for the television anime adaptation of Takaya Kagami's Densetsu no Yūsha no Densetsu (The Legend of the Legendary Heroes) fantasy light novel franchise began streaming a 30-second television commercial video via the YouTube video service on Tuesday. Both the official website and YouTube are still streaming the previous promotional videos. The Legend of the Legendary Heroes anime will premiere on July 1.
The official website for the Strike Witches television anime franchise has begun streaming three promotional commercials for the second anime season on Wednesday. Like the first season, Strike Witches 2 adapts Humikane Shimada's mecha-girl illustrations. The anime studio AIC is animating the second season instead of Gonzo for a July 7 premiere.
