The anime will also have an advance screening event on July 3, ahead of the anime's premiere. Screenings will be held in TOHO CINEMAS in Shinjuku/Shibuya (Tokyo), Nagoya Bay City (Nagoya), and Umeda/Nanba (Osaka). The screenings will show parts from both "Side: Future" and "Side: Despair," but did not specify how many episodes will be shown.
"Side: Future" will premiere on Tokyo MX on July 11 at 11:00 p.m., followed by "Side: Despair" on July 14 11:30 p.m. Both arcs will also run every week on the BS11 channel.
The television anime series will be the conclusion of the "Hope's Peak Academy" series' original story. The anime will premiere both its "Side: Future" and "Side: Despair" parts in July.
