A new Bocchi the Rock! movie is coming in 2027. Titled Footprints of the Stars, it centers on Nijika’s older sister Seika. The story is a prequel about the sisters’ separation from 10 years ago, based on the spin-off in manga volume 5. Director is Shin Wakabayashi of Wonder Egg Priority. Character design is by Yukiko Horiguchi of K-On!, with animation by CloverWorks. Seika is voiced by Maaya Uchida and Nijika by Sayumi Suzushiro. The film is scheduled for release next year.

Hard Rock Cafe is selling an Evangelion collab from November 3 at its Japanese locations. The goods are a Unit-01 logo set: tees, a sukajan, caps, pins, a magnet, and a shot glass. The new art puts Asuka, Rei, and Shinji outside a Hard Rock Cafe reimagined in Tokyo-3. A separate new Evangelion series is still in production at Khara and CloverWorks, with Yoko Taro writing the script. One is a finished merch drop shipping next week. The other is still an open production with no date.
