stories about fans who meet their favorite artist and come out of that
experience completely transformed. Not always for good, not always for bad, but
always irreversibly. Draw This, Then Die! It's exactly that
story, and its second trailer arrived confirming the premiere for July
3, 2026 along with the ending of the season. The adaptation of Minoru
Toyoda's award-winning manga has everything in place.
The second
trailer offers more of Ai Yasumi's story and the emotional
moments that define her journey, building on the first images with scenes that
show the weight of the encounter between a passionate fan and the creator she
admires. The ending theme is called "Conifer", composed
specifically for the series by Regal Lily. The opening "Isho" is
in charge of Tatsuya Kitani.
