Along with this colorful new trailer, the production team has shared some very major details regarding the fresh cast members, the ending theme song, and the official broadcast schedule. Many fans are already saying that Always a Catch! is going to be a real treat for those who love stories filled with romantic misunderstandings and strong female leads who can actually fight.
Cast Details and Musical Updates
Let us talk about the voice actors first because the list is quite impressive for this series. The very talented Natsuki Hanae is taking on the role of Ireneo Mulcahy. He is the son of Marquis Mulcahy and is known to be a man who loves women. Then we have Kaori Maeda playing Eleonora Casciari, a baron's daughter who is aiming to become Renato's fiancée. Rumi Okubo will be voicing the slightly overbearing Rosalia Pinotti, who comes from the Marquis Pinotti family. It is also confirmed that the ending theme song, titled "DEAD OR LOVE", will be performed by Yoshino. You can actually hear a small part of this catchy track in the second main PV itself, which also features the three characters whose cast was recently revealed to the public.
Broadcast Schedule and Special Events
For those waiting to mark their calendars, the anime will start airing on TOKYO MX and BS11 starting from April 1st. It will broadcast every Wednesday at 24:00, so it is basically a midnight treat for the viewers. But before the actual television premiere happens, there is going to be a big stage event featuring the voice cast at AnimeJapan 2026. This event will be held at Tokyo Big Sight on March 28th and 29th. Also, a very interesting thing is that today, March 3rd, is the birthday of the main protagonist Mimi, who is also known as Maria. To commemorate this special day, the official X account (@nigetsuri_anime) is holding a giveaway campaign for the fans. It is a nice way to build some hype before the show starts.
Understanding the Story and Its Hook
The story of "The fish I let go was big, but the fish I caught was too big" is quite unique compared to your usual isekai or fantasy tropes. It centers around Maria, a young lady born into the Duke Annovazzi family. This family is very famous for martial arts, and Maria was raised as the heir because she has a real talent for fighting. The whole plot kicks off at the graduation party of the Royal Academy. There, she is approached by Prince Renato, a man she does not even remember meeting properly, who suddenly tells her that he is breaking off an engagement she had no memory of in the first place. This confusing and funny start is exactly why Always a Catch! is the next must-watch anime and manga sensation for anyone who enjoys a bit of drama mixed with action.
