The new anime series, The Drops of God, is set to release in 2026:

Here’s how Kodansha USA describes this piece of art:

Yutaka Kanzaki, a wine critic whose reviews have enough clout to move the industry worldwide, has died—leaving behind a wine collection worth over two billion yen. Only the one who can name his favorite bottles, plus vintages, will inherit this dream of a cellar. It’s a battle between Yutaka’s biological son Shizuku and adopted child Issei to identify these “Twelve Apostles”—along with the very best wine in his collection, the so-called “Drops of God.”

Yeah, you read that right.

We’ve got a high-brow anime series about wine and intrigue.

This series has a lot of history, actually.

• Tadashi Agi (writer) and Shu Okimoto (illustrator) wrote the original manga, which ran 44 volumes in Kodansha’s Weekly Morning from 2004 to 2014.
• The sequel, Drops of God: Mirage, also ran 24 volumes in Weekly Morning from 2015 to 2020.
• The last manga series, called Drops of God deuxième, ran two volumes in Weekly Morning from September 2023 to April 2024.

And that’s not all.

Other adapations include a 2008 Korean drama, the 2009 Japanese drama, and a Apple TV+ 2023 drama.

The sudio Satelight cast for this upcoming anime are:

• Kazuya Kamenashi returning as Shizuku Kanzaki
• Maaya Uchida (Angel Devil in Chainsaw Man) as Miyabi Shinohara
• Takuya Sato (Caesar Zeppeli in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure) as Issei Tomine.
• Kenji Itoso (AQUARION Myth of Emotions) is the director
• Yuu Mitsuru is the series composition and script writer
• Takehiro Suwa is the character designer
• Eishi Segawa is in charge of music
