■'Skeleton Knight in Another World II' Confirmed to Broadcast in July 2026! Teaser PV & KV First Unveiling, TV Anime Adaptation of 'Full Clearing Another World under a Goddess with Zero Believers' Also Decided

In the latter half of the program, the latest information from "Overlap Bunko" was successively unveiled. First, the teaser PV and key visual of 'Skeleton Knight in Another World II' were unveiled for the first time, and along with that, the broadcast decision starting from July 2026 was announced.

Furthermore, video letters from Tomoaki Maeno playing Arc and Fairouz Ai playing Arianne also arrived. Fairouz passionately discussed the appeal of "live interaction", saying "In the first season, we couldn't all record together, but right now we're all gathered together recording. I'm feeling how amazing the acting of these characters is when you hear it live." Maeno also touched on the recording difficulties unique to Arc, but stated "I'm grateful that we can record together. The sense of realism in battle scenes is easy to understand, isn't it?", raising expectations for the second season.

In addition, the TV anime adaptation decision of 'Full Clearing Another World under a Goddess with Zero Believers' was announced, with congratulatory illustrations from original illustrator Tam-U and manga artist Shiroi Hakuto, and comments from original author Airu Osaki also arriving.

■Yoko Hikasa Performs "Four Distinct" Heroine Voices!? 'Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord' Cast Challenges Production-Type Magic!?

The program also featured collaboration projects with "Overlap Bunko" works. In the collaboration corner "Which Line Is This? Heroine Guessing Quiz!" with the four newcomer award works from "The 12th Overlap Bunko Awards" being released on Sunday, January 25th, a quiz project was implemented where participants listened to heroine lines from the four works read by Hikasa and guessed which work's heroine it was. The studio erupted with "Ohhhhh" at Hikasa showcasing "four distinct" heroine voices. Hikasa's "declaration" of "When it gets animated, I'm going to do all four characters!" also came out, enveloping the atmosphere in laughter and excitement.

Furthermore, in the collaboration project with 'Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord' called "Production-Type Magic Construction Challenge" for viewer prizes, the four challenged making a "three-tier card tower" in relay format. While encouraging cheers of "Take it easy~" were sent to ease the tension of the challenging cast members, unexpected struggles continued, and the result ended at an astonishing 0 tiers. The studio became flustered, saying "Zero people getting presents is terrible!", and in the end, everyone individually re-challenged. The program concluded while enveloped in gentle laughter until the very end.
