This visual was released to metaphorically pass the baton from Bravern to A Condition Called Love since they both occupied the same time slot on the channel. The source is the official twitter account of A Condition Called Love. The show is set to premiere April 4th while Bravern just completed its run. Synopsis for the upcoming A Condition Called Love from AniList:

Hotaru Hinase is a first-year in high school that has a great family and wonderful friends, but not much luck when it comes to romance. One day, she happens to see the hot boy from the class next door, Hananoi, get dumped. Seeing Hananoi standing in the middle of a park all alone, Hotaru decides to hand him an umbrella.

That little act causes Hananoi to ask her out soon after.

What does love even mean? What does it mean to be in love? Hotaru is flustered at suddenly being asked out by Hananoi, who has an endless amount of love for the person he loves and wants to do everything he can for them. This is a story about first love between a girl who doesn't understand romantic love and a boy that may be a bit too heavy-handed when it comes to love.

Premieres August 2024 on Netflix. The new PV is here. Check out the ANN article for additional cast/staff information (notably the lead VA's are reprising their roles). Synopsis of the manga from AniList:

Sawako Kuronuma is the perfect heroine...for a horror movie. With striking similarities to a haunting movie character--jet-black hair, sinister smile and silent demeanor--she's mistakenly called Sadako by those around her. But behind her scary façade is a very misunderstood teenager. Too shy to fit in, all she wants to do is make some friends. But when the most popular boy in class befriends her, she's sure to make more than just that--she's about to make some enemies too!

Metallic Rouge, episode 13

Series premieres April 9th. Synopsis from AniList:

"My wish as champion is for you to descend the tower and be my wife."

Climbing a deadly tower, Oscar seeks the power of its master, the Witch of the Azure Moon. He hopes her incredible magic can break a curse that will kill any woman he takes for a wife. When the prince sees how beautiful Tinasha is, though, he has a better idea-since she's surely strong enough to survive his curse, she should just marry him instead! Tinasha isn't keen on the idea, but agrees to live with Oscar in the royal castle for a year while researching the spell placed on the prince. The witch's pretty face hides several lifetimes of dark secrets, however-secrets that begin resurfacing...

A Sign of Affection (2024) is a very good romance series. (jp Yubisaki to Renren)

A Silent Voice (2016) is a great movie. (jp Eiga Koe no Katachi)

Both explore deafness in a very meaningful way.

Have you watched them? What were your experiences and thoughts on it?

My personal assessment:

A Sign of Affection starts great. Positive, vibrant, and meaningful and with depth, exploring deafness. At some point, I felt like it's kind of the same throughout (stylistically and the kind of things happening), but it never lost its continuous progression in fitting pace or its quality at least.

I've wanted to rewatch A Silent Voice for a while, which also has deafness as a central theme, and I remember it being great - albeit quite different to the aforementioned romance. It has more struggling themes, and is a movie rather than a series.

Both had very interesting, insightful, and respectful depictions of deafness, which certainly elevated them into something very good and unique.
