The first previews from the first episode of the TV anime "Nigashita Sakana wa Ookikatta ga Tsuriageta Sakana ga Ookisugita Ken" (abbreviated as "Nigetsuri") have been released. The romantic comedy will premiere on April 1, 2026, on Japanese television.
The story revolves around Maria, the battle-hardened daughter of the Annovazzi ducal house. She was raised as the heir, but after the birth of her younger brother, she loses this role and is sent to the neighboring Kingdom of Rubini to find a husband. There, she is unexpectedly confronted by Prince Renato with an alleged dissolution of her engagement—an engagement whose existence she knew nothing about. These turbulent complications form the beginning of the first episode, titled "The Fish That Got Away Seeks a Good Catch."
In addition to the previews, details about the broadcast and streaming have been announced. The anime will air on channels including TOKYO MX and BS11. Numerous platforms such as d-Anime Store, U-NEXT, ABEMA, and Prime Video will offer the series for streaming.
Furthermore, a stage appearance at the "AnimeJapan 2026" event has been announced. On March 28, 2026, voice actresses Yu Serizawa (Maria), Kaori Maeda (Eleonora Casciari), and Rumi Ookubo (Rosalia Pinotti) are expected on the BS11 stage. Original drawings and a special video will also be available at the TOMS/SEGA booth.
