This has resulted in plenty of great new releases when it comes to feature films and OVA specials as well, so fans usually don’t have to wait too long for some of the bigger dub releases.

But Mafuyu’s past and his feelings towards Ritsuka intersect yet again and the distance between them starts to change.”
Crunchyroll teases the given The Movie: To the Sea finale as such, “After a chance encounter with the singer Mafuyu Sato, Ritsuka Uenoyama’s passion for music was reignited.
