Euphonium, Free!, Tsurune, Violet Evergarden Delusions!, and Baja's Studio gathered together and happily working hard to create an anime.
New merchandise using newly drawn illustrations and the event's key visuals has also been released. In addition to standard merchandise such as acrylic stands and clear files, the lineup will include a travel assortment set with a motif of a journey to the "world" of the work.

Over 1,000 materials will be on display, including the original hand-drawn drawings actually used in the anime, as well as background art, color design, CG, and photography.
