The show will air every Saturday at first, until it starts on a different channel on April 9 and will join the schedule on every Monday. There was a new key visual with Makoto Niijima released, seen above, which shows Makoto buried in books at what appears to be the library. It’s a pretty good shot of her, and indicative of the animation quality, which looks great!

There’s a retweet campaign going around in Japan that will end up giving 10 promotional posters of the key visual of Makoto Niijima, which requires you to follow the @P5_anime Twitter account and retweet one of its tweets between today, Feb. 28, and March 6.
