@ZXEAN No, it's school life with fantasy and lot of magic, much like Harry Potter

@Pear-san I know lol. What I mean is that this is being promoted not just as an adaptation of the Disney brand, but as a full-fledged Disney anime.

@ZXEAN No, it's focused on a magical adventure with Disney villains, blending visual novel, fantasy, mystery, school life and rhythm game elements.

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Finally some news.
Thank God they're adapting the manga, and not the light novel. I actually like the Yuu(s) from the manga. Would've prefered an adaptation of the game, but it'll do.
Already hyped as hell for Episode of Heartslabyul.
Hopefully they'll continue after season 3, and adapt the other books as well. The Episode of Savanaclaw and Episode of Octavinelle manga are currently on their Overblot parts, so they're relatively close to finishing. But at the pace they're going right now (Savanaclaw on hiatus until January 2025 and Octavinelle on indefinite hiatus, as far as I'm aware), the Episode of Scarabia manga probably won't be released until 2027. Unless they decide to use the game as source material for the anime adaptation of Scarabia, Pomefiore and Ignihyde. They're all finished (in-game), after all.
