Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

Friday night at 8 PM, a prime time for traffic.

Starlight Video, the official account of the Land of Light, has been updated.

"The PV for the brand new original animation 'Anohana' will be released tonight at 8 PM, bringing you a sense of healing."

Under the blue sky and white clouds, a winding country road leads to the silhouettes of six teenagers.

There is no world-building, no complicated setting instructions, and no adrenaline-pumping battle scenes.

The first image that appeared on the screen was an old wooden house that was slightly whitened by the afternoon sun.

The wind chimes under the eaves sway in the summer breeze, and the camera slowly moves to a half-open door.

The faint laughter of several children could be heard from inside the door; their words were indistinct.

But the laughter itself is enough to make anyone's lips unconsciously curl up in a smile.

The scene cuts to the bank of a crystal-clear stream, where six children dressed in summer clothes are barefoot in the water.

The tallest boy, with his trousers rolled up, stood in the middle of the stream, reaching out his hand to a little girl in a white dress on the bank, calling out something...

The PV did not provide a clear audio track for this line; all the dialogue could only be vaguely discerned by the outline of the voice.

The little girl in the white dress smiled and placed her hand on the table; the scene quickly changed.

Six children sat side by side under the old camphor tree on the hillside, with soda bottles and snack bags scattered around their feet.

Four handwritten characters appeared in the center of the image.

I have never heard of the flower's name.

Below that was a line of even smaller text.

We still do not know the name of the flower we saw that day.

After the subtitles faded out, the PV entered its second half.

The images of the six children as adults flash by one by one, and one can vaguely see the shadows of their childhood selves.

PV ended, duration 60 seconds.

Furthermore, the PV emphasizes that it is dedicated to everyone who has ever had a summer.

A heartwarming slice-of-life coming-of-age story, without magic or fantasy, just the promises and memories of six childhood friends.

"This art style is so gentle. How many geniuses are in the art team of the Land of Light? I feel like every frame could be screenshotted and used as wallpaper."

"No battle scenes? No Stands? No monsters? Not even a transformation device? Is Hikaru really going to make a purely slice-of-life anime?!"

"Menma!! That little girl in the white dress is Menma!! Her voice is so beautiful, I'm already a fan."

"Am I the only one who noticed that Menma is missing from the adult scenes? What does this detail mean? Did Menma move away after she grew up?"

"I find it hard to believe that the words 'everyday youth story' are coming from the Land of Light..."

This comment immediately attracted a large number of replies after it appeared on the screen.

But it's mostly lighthearted and pleasant self-comfort and comforting from companions.

"Everyone should be careful. What if Hikaru suddenly throws a tug-of-war in a slice-of-life episode? That would be a disaster!"

The user who posted this comment had a profile picture of a cat wearing sunglasses.

The ID is "Ah Guang has never had a conscience".

Clearly, he's a long-time viewer who suffered from lingering effects of the heart-wrenching plots in previous installments of Land of Light.

But as soon as this comment was posted, someone refuted it.

"No way? Ah Guang's recent creative focus has clearly been on games and comic conventions, so he probably doesn't have much inspiration to write angst."

If you were the creator, wouldn't you also want to occasionally change things up and make something heartwarming?

Another highly-rated comment said, "Don't always think that A-Guang is a ruthless killer. Can't you feel A-Guang's gentleness?"

This campaign is codenamed "Summer of Healing." Our forces are formidable. If Ah Guang dares to bring his knife again, I can only say that the advantage lies with us!

After the PV was released, the discussion surrounding "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" steadily increased, firmly entering the top of the trending search list.

The search volume for the keyword #Menma the White-haired Loli# has skyrocketed.

A screenshot of Menma sitting on a swing in the PV has been widely shared.

"White-haired loli + watercolor style + healing daily life, how could I not be moved by this combination?"

At the same time, various discussion groups in the anime and manga community also started posting prediction threads about the plot of "Anohana".

Some people guess it's a story about six people rekindling a childhood promise after they've grown up;

Some people speculate that it's the story of how everyone reunited to search for Menma after she left the town for some reason.

Some people even guessed that the code might already be...

This speculation was quickly suppressed by others with a barrage of "impossible" statements.

"The PV clearly states that there is no magic or fantasy, which means there will be no supernatural elements. Menma may have just moved or gone abroad, and everyone will eventually reunite."

Almost no one in the comments section was willing to think negatively; everyone was immersed in the anticipation of a purely healing anime.

The following day, the Land of Light officially released a new event announcement, pushing this anticipation to another climax.

The Land of Light will launch an online viewing reward event for each episode of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day".

Viewers will receive one chance to win a prize for each episode of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" that they watch in its entirety.

The prize pool is quite generous.

Merchandise sets featuring the IP under the flag of Light, limited edition figurines, VIP passes to anime conventions, autographed boards by voice actors, and the top prize.

One original artwork from any Land of Light series, accompanied by Hikaru's autograph.

A line of small print was attached at the end of the announcement.

"The original paintings will be framed in custom-made collector's edition frames, with the serial number of the artwork engraved on the back of the frame. Each original painting is a unique piece."

"? Original artwork from the Land of Light??? And personally signed???"

"Original artwork from any work?? That means you can choose the transformation animation from the last episode of Ultraman Tiga, the frame from when Gaia and Agul first clashed with their beams, or even the scene in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3 where Star Platinum is shaping bullets!!"

"If I were to draw an original painting of Gaia versus the Waves signed by A-Guang, I would never sell it for the rest of my life. I would frame it and hang it above my bed as a family heirloom."

"The rich have gone crazy. People are already posting on second-hand trading platforms looking to buy a signed original painting by A-Guang. Prices start at 100,000. Serious inquiries only, please contact me privately."

"100,000?! You might not even be able to buy it for 100,000! Go search the second-hand market and see what the prices are for Ah Guang's early autographed pieces now?"

Last time, a replica of the original artwork from the first episode of Ultraman Tiga, signed by Hikaru, was posted and sold out in less than half a minute.

The topic spread faster than the Land of Light had anticipated.

On various social media platforms, some people have shared photos of their treasured early autographed merchandise by A-Guang.

Under each photo, there are countless envious comments lining up to say, "Rich guy, I'm bowing down to you."

Someone compiled a detailed list of A-Guang's personally signed records of transactions in the secondhand market.

The data clearly shows that since the founding of the Land of Light, the number of Yang Qian's autographs leaked has been declining.

In the early days, a few autographed original drawings of Ultraman Tiga would occasionally leak out as prizes for events.

Personal signatures are now almost extinct.

The few times it has appeared have all been at charity auctions.

As for autographed copies with original artwork, they are extremely rare.

When interviewed by a self-media outlet, the operations manager of a second-hand trading platform summarized the current supply and demand situation in one sentence.

"There are no pricing standards available in the market because nobody is selling them."

The person in charge said that as long as you get an original painting personally signed by A-Guang, you can list it at any price, and someone will definitely come to see it.

Whether or not you can actually buy it is another matter.

Because almost no one is willing to take action.
