A third season of beloved 2011 romance anime Kimi ni Todoke - From Me to You will air exclusively on Netflix this August, and the first trailer for the unexpected continuation is so pitch-perfect that it almost feels like it's been no time at all.
As Anime News Network notes, original studio Production I.G, otherwise known for series like Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Usagi Drop, is animating season 3. Main characters Sawako Kuronuma and Shōta Kazehaya are played by returning voice actors Mamiko Noto and Daisuke Namikawa. To no one's surprise, there have been changes in the production and voice staff elsewhere, but several core players are back, and the presentation in the first trailer for season three is spot-on. It looks as good as I remember season two looking, which can only mean that the animation is considerably better than it was in 2011.
