A Galaxy Next Door, the highly anticipated TV anime adaptation, has revealed a brand-new key visual, a trailer, and additional cast members. The premiere date has been set for April 8. Joining the cast are voice actors Tomokazu Sugita, Hikasa Yoko, and Rie Takahashi, who will play the roles of Masahiro Gokoku, Momoka Gokoku, and Ibusuki Chihiro, respectively.

The latest key visual showcases the previously introduced characters: Shiori Goshiki, Ichiro Kuga, Fumio Kuga, and Machi Kuga. The first trailer and initial artwork for the anime were released in November of last year.
