The official website for the television anime of Miyuki Tonogaya's The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague (Kōri Zokusei Danshi to Cool na Dōryō Joshi) manga revealed on Wednesday the anime's second promotional video, and it previews the opening song "Frozen Midnight" by Takao Sakuma.
The anime will have an advance streaming on the ABEMA service on January 3 at 10:30 p.m. JST, before its premiere on January 4 on Tokyo MX, ABC TV, and Nagoya Broadcasting Network. The show will then air on BS Asahi on January 6. Crunchyroll will stream the anime as it airs in Japan. The anime will have four Blu-ray Disc releases, shipping once a month from April through July 2023.

The "workplace fantasy romantic comedy" revolves around Himuro-kun, a modern-day descendant of the Snow Woman from Japanese folklore, and his seemingly aloof, eccentric yet kind colleague Fuyutsuki. Himuro-kun tends to freeze nearby objects or summon a snowstorm when he is agitated, and he also happens to have a secret crush on Fuyutsuki. However, Fuyutsuki is nearly completely oblivious to anything around her.
