The anime's teaser visual features Mayoi Hachikuji in the center, as she can be seen leaping off of somewhere while wearing her backpack. Beside her, the visual shows Nadeko Sengoku and Karen Araragi looking in the opposite direction. Nadeko is shown looking for something, while Karen might be looking for someone.

Above them, the visual shows Yotsugi Ononoki and Shinobu Oshino. While Yotsugi is shown facing right while holding her orange hat, and Shinobu is shown facing front, crossing her arms, both characters can be seen looking straight.

"Youth continues into the past and into the future."
