In the PV, the uncle, who says his first love was Sonic and Tails from Sega games, reminisces about conversations with adventurers he met in the other world of "Granbahamaru. It has also been decided that an advance live broadcast of the first episode and a live broadcast talk by Takehito Koyasu, who plays Uncle, and Jun Fukuyama, who plays Takafumi, will be held on the KADOKAWAanime Channel on YouTube on June 25 at 9 p.m. (only the live broadcast talk will be archived).
