Anzai said of the anime, "As expected from Hanada-san (series composition and scriptwriter Jukki Hanada). I wondered how he would write the script, but I was moved."
Anzai praised the anime, saying, "All the characters are so beloved, and they really move! There were even sounds I'd heard when playing the game, which really got me excited. I was so excited." She added, "I'm a fan of the whole group, and I love and cherish them all. It's filled with love. Please look forward to it."
Akari Kito, Hiroki Nanami, Aoi Yuki, Ayane Sakura, and Takuya Eguchi also appeared at the screening.
