HIDIVE and TV Asahi Present The Dangers in My Heart Movie Sneak Peek

The Dangers in My Heart became one of my favorite anime of all time, and it was one of the best I've had the pleasure of reviewing in the past couple of years. While I think it ended perfectly, it turns out that there is still more story to tell, as the beginning of 2026 will see the release of The Dangers in My Heart feature film. This film is looking to continue the main story, showing the newly formed relationship between Kyotaro and Anna properly developed after the climactic confession. At Anime Expo 2025, there was a special panel featuring the series and film director Hiroaki Akagi alongside two of the producers, Yosuke Sakurai and Kazuki Endo. They took the time to show us what we can expect from this film and what thought went into its promotion.

For example, the promotional image for the film that has been displayed on posters and even on nice buttons that were shared during the panel, was actually layered with multiple different lighting effects. In fact, the cinematographer who worked on lighting effects for the promotional image is also the cinematographer of the Re:Zero anime. The panel showcased the artistic breakdown of this poster, and we were actually able to see a few in details like how on Anna's side of the poster, she's actually in front of a crowd, which is very important to the film itself, as one of the main features of it will actually be Kyotaro and Anna attending live band performance.

In the manga, Kyotaro's sister is a part of a band, and it looks like that is going to be one of the main focuses or backdrops of the film. The promotional video mostly showcased scenes from the show throughout season one and season two, but we do get a small snippet of new footage highlighting Kyotaro and Anna wearing new outfits. We got to see the character sheets for our two main leads in these new outfits, as well as a character sheet for Kyotaro's sister. The guests didn't exactly specify what her involvement in the film would be, but it was clear that she is going to play a major role. In the main series, Kana is a main source of support for Kyotaro. It'll be nice to see how she is able to support her little brother as he begins to grow up in his first major relationship.

The director did a very cute live drawing while Sakurai and Endo answered some questions. They talked about how proud they were about the animation quality of the series and how the main couple is just so cute that they could absolutely die. It was really sweet seeing them gush over the show in a similar way to how I and a lot of other fans do. The live drawing that Akagi did was actually Kyotaro and Anna chilling in LA, eating some In-N-Out while snuggling next to each other. Of course when you go to LA, you have to try In-N-Out at least once. While the film is quite a bit away, I am very much looking forward to seeing what this continuation looks like. The original show was already very high-quality to begin with, so if we're getting something even bigger than that, then we will definitely be in for a treat.
