The Oscar François de Jarjayes visual shows the Commander of the Royal Guard wielding her sword fiercely in front of what looks like a fire. As for the Marie Antoinette visual, it shows the Austrian Princess in a beautiful blue dress, surrounded by countless red roses.

Ai Yoshimura will be directing the anime film at MAPPA. He has previously worked in Daily Lives of High School Boys and My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU.

As for the characters, they are designed by Mariko Oka. With the reveal of the character visuals, she also shared how the staff tried to give each character their own charm through the visuals. Andre tends to be simple but she tried to decorate him and depict his feelings for Oscar with his gaze and facial expressions. Lastly, Marika also expressed her desire to draw Oscar and Andre someday.
