Upcoming fantasy romance series Akagami no Shirayuki-hime (Snow White with the Red Hair) has been announced to be broadcast in split cours, with the second half being broadcast in 2016. The first episode is scheduled to air at midnight in Japan on Tokyo MX and will be streamed simultaneously by FUNimation.

The announcement was made during the pre-screening event at TOHO Cinemas Shinjuku in Tokyo on July 4. Yuuichirou Umehara (Mitsuhide Rouen), Ryota Osaka (Zen Wistalia), Saori Hayami (Shirayuki), and Nobuhiko Okamoto (Obi) (pictured from left to right) attended the event, participating in a talk and game session.

A second PV for the anime was also uploaded to the official website on July 4.



The manga series currently has 14 volumes in print, the last of which was published on July 3. In celebration of the TV anime, the series is also featured on this month's issue of LaLa magazine.

I had a feeling this show would be 2 cour......Bones always does at least 1 2cour show every year and with there other titles being only 1 cour i figured it would this one....i did no think it would be split tough.

Eh, on one hand it's two cours, on the other it's split, it's BONES though so they probably want to keep the quality high especially when they are doing Noragami for Fall, not bad news.

The romance in Yona was shit tho, I hope this actually makes something, anything, happen in 2 cours.

Indeed, was kinda afraid this would get the Chaika treatment but BONES is doing this justice.

Not exactly an anime where two cour is 100% needed but I'm happy all the same. I like the manga and Bones seems to be doing it justice.

That isn't that bad. As long as they don't make it have a rushed ending for the first half then I won't have a problem with it.

I really hope that they don't rush it at all. Bones, I trust in you!

It definitely wasn't shit, it's just that it was super slow with little progression.

Yeah, that's by all means shit romance, barely any progression was made by the end and every attempt to move any sort of relationship forward was countered with Yona running away at the speed of light.

thats more reassuring but at the same time i just dont know if I want to watch this or not, i keep getting the feeling its going to be a show where nothing of value really happens and the romance will wind up being one of those typical shoujo romances where things are too perfect for the people involved and they get together within like 3 episodes

Doomdoctor said:

Honestly it looks kind of low budget to me, somthing feels really off about how characters are moving, like it looks too slow or just doesnt look like how a human should move.

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

Like hell, they confess to each other on chapter 12, so probably towards the end of cour 1 and after that there are ton of couple scenes, tho this has action too so it's really good.
It was like episode 7 or something but then they proceed to headbutt each other and the subject is never bought up again, and like I said, everytime Hak tries to do something she just runs away because she still likes her cousin deep down or is confused or whatever, it's no different from those LNs where the MCs "marry" and then nothing happens but lots of blushing and being scared of touching each other, at least in Yona they downplay this to the point where it only happens once every few episodes, it's a bone throw, really, but at the same time they also downplay the progress because we know there can't be romance before there's lots of blushing and being afraid of each other's body.

o.O lol seriously? well I never bothered with that cause i realised it's going reverse harem route while having a canon route which equals into NOTHING happens in the end, and that's why I like shirayuki so much, the developement throughout the manga is just brilliantly written
Not really reading the manga but the anime doesn't really go reverse harem, there's really only 1 love interest.

I love the manga and really can't wait for the anime. Though I think the anime's character designs are far inferior to the original designs. Of course a big reason for that is that the character designs are so beautiful in the manga, almost drawn to perfection in my opinion. Especially Shirayuki and Kiki. I would have been quite a bit more excited if they actually came close in the anime, but I guess a higher budget (or another studio) would have been needed.

Though I'm happy that the anime receives a 2cour adaption. Hopefully the BD/DVD sales will be good for another continuation.

The fact that this is going to go on for "longer" is both a blessing and a curse in its own right I suppose.
