AMC Networks’ HIDIVE announced today that there will be a special preview panel for the incredibly renowned The Dangers in My Heart (Bokuyaba) movie at this year’s Anime Expo 2025. Ahead of the official announcement, Anime Corner has the opportunity to break the news, offering the first look at what fans can expect from the panel next month.
The panel will take place on Friday, July 4 at the JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE Diamond Ballroom from 8:00 – 8:50 pm Pacific. Presented in partnership with TV Asahi, the panel will spotlight the upcoming first-ever The Dangers in My Heart franchise film which was announced in September of 2024.
Fans of the series and panel attendees writ large will get to witness an exciting Q&A discussion with Japanese staff guests, including Director Hiroaki Akagi and Producers Yosuke Sakurai and Kazuki Endo.
This The Dangers in My Heart movie is a compilation film, bringing both Seasons 1 and 2 together alongside entirely new animation sequences and providing “a continuation” of series main characters Ichikawa and Yamada’s love story. The incredible romance anime is based on the equally incredible manga written and illustrated by Norio Sakurai.
The story follows Kyotaro Ichikawa, a loner chunibyo student with the unique habit of reading about murder and even fantasizing about murdering his popular classmates, including Anna Yamada. Yamada is tall and popular but quirky and clumsy, something which, alongside her friendliness towards Ichikawa, disarms and intrigues him. The story follows the two as they become closer to one another and develop a relationship.
“We’re thrilled to partner with TV Asahi on this very special The Dangers in My Heart Movie panel at Anime Expo 2025 in July,” said John Ledford, President of HIDIVE. “The Dangers in My Heart with its endearing love story became a beloved and fan-favorite series soon after its debut in Spring 2023 and went on to garner numerous awards and accolades for both its first season and sequel season in Winter 2024. We expect a capacity audience at the movie panel and rom-com fans will definitely not want to miss it!”
The Dangers in My Heart Season 2 aired for 13 episodes in Winter 2024 and consistently placed 1st in our weekly anime rankings, completing the first season sweep in Anime Corner history. The second season also won the major prize of 2024 Anime of the Year along with several other yearly awards.
Seasons 1 and 2 of The Dangers in My Heart are available to view on demand here on HIDIVE. You can check out the franchise film announcement trailer below.
