From the event, we got much more than just great cosplay, adorable footage of smol Ame, and bacon-wrapped hot dogs…we also got some amazing anime announcements! Several of our beloved titles at Yen Press, such as Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World, Bungo Stray Dogs, Play It Cool, Guys, I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss, and Yowamushi Pedal, released key art and trailers for their upcoming seasons. Likewise, two major titles made quite the stir with their anime adaptation news.

These ground-breaking announcements were… *drum roll please*

Sugar Apple Fairy Tale will get an anime adaptation! Candy crafter Anne Halford’s road to become a Silver Sugar Master is anything but tasteful when she gets involved with a foul-mouthed fairy. We can only hope that the anime will capture the witty and action-packed scenes that were unexpected in this anything-but-sweet fairy tale! Can’t wait until the premiere?
