Mysteria Friends Anime Gets Second Trailer, Blu-Ray Commercial


It’s an all-new look at the campus grounds, ahead of the new semester.

Earlier today, the official Mysteria Friends (Manaria Friends) anime website updated with a new teaser trailer. The 100-second promo cuts between shots of the major cast members, set to a low-key piano melody.

In addition to the trailer, a teaser for the show’s Blu-Ray also hit the web, which you can check out below.

Mysteria Friends hits Japanese TV on January 20. Sentai Filmworks licensed the title for all regions outside of Asia, and will launch it on select digital outlets starting in January 2019.
