The ending theme, Hoshibi, is performed by Kawaguchi Yurina and released under Universal Music. The video opens with Hikaru Shido, Umi Ryuzaki, and Fuu Hououji watching waves on a beach at night, then moves through other characters including Princess Emeraude in the same scenery. The anime is based on CLAMP's manga, first serialized in Kodansha's Nakayoshi, and this adaptation is a new project announced in 2024, roughly 30 years after the 1994 TV anime. It airs Wednesdays at 11:45 PM on TV Asahi's IMAnimation W slot across two consecutive cours, excluding some regions, with streaming after broadcast on services including ABEMA, d Anime Store, DMM TV, Hulu, U-NEXT, and Lemino. Ayane Sakura voices Hikaru Shido, Rumi Okubo voices Umi Ryuzaki, Rie Takahashi voices Fuu Hououji, and Saori Hayami voices Emeraude.","whyItMatters":"The ending sequence is doing narrative work for the adaptation, placing Emeraude alongside the three leads before the story's rescue plot resolves, which signals how the new production frames the princess relative to the Magic Knights.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe full cast list extends past the four leads.
