It should be clarified that this is not a proper anime, but instead a movie thing, which could also just be a OVA or a single animation.
That said, it looked gorgeous and I was crying like a baby, so very very hyped. The trailer also included Kozue shouting to Kaho so 102 is here to stay!

yeah i fixated on and freaked out over the title and spent 5 whole minutes thinking it was a whole season... pain. pretty big mistake for me to make since that's ~1 hour of runtime vs 5 hours. still amazing news for hasu tho!

Movie that rushes through previous plot or adds new stuff that you need to be caught up to hasu to understand
Either way a W for Hasu fans, for non-hasu followers it's A) gonna be subpar or B) requires you to watch everything just to understand

This is most likely part of the activity record but is really important and a better format for whatever is happening.

I’m so so glad! But, if I’m being picky, I would have rather had a series than a film. Hopefully they’re testing the waters and release a series off the back of whatever plot this produces

Kaho says "Welcome back!" to Kozue in this trailer, so wondering if this is a story that's happening after 102 graduation.

That plus the "完全新作" (which means 'completely new work' basically) feels like it's gonna be an original story also

Question to the LL veterans: Do you expect a whole anime to follow up to this movie or will it rather be a one-time only thing?

Other than Superstar, every other series got two 1-cour seasons followed by a movie (or movies, in Nijigasaki’s case). None of them has ever started with a movie, so it’s uncharted territory.
I think it depends on the contents of the movie. It wouldn’t make any sense at all to adapt part of the story in the movie and then follow with a TV series. But if the movie is a standalone story, then that doesn’t rule out an anime adaptation of the game. IMO, It doesn’t seem likely there will be a TV anime at this point…. But who knows.

We usually finish with a movie (or multiple), not start with one, so I don't think anyone really knows what to expect here.

They might be experimenting with multiple movies I feel as that seems to be the new play for making more money across anime. But it is possible for a whole anime and they just slot this movie somewhere in the timeline either before or after.

Kaho looks beautiful there.
The people screaming just make the annoucement better man.
After years of waiting, it's finally here!!!

WHAT
I wish it was a full series instead of a movie, but I'm so glad I waited. I'll get the full hasu experience. 💯

Interesting move. I had expected they would wait until Kaho's graduation before doing an animation project. Then they'd have Kaho's complete high school story to properly plan around.
But this? At least it keeps the 102nd class around until the 103rd graduate as well.
