First Rehearsal (2022 TV series)

First Rehearsal is a 3DCG anime television series loosely spun-off from the manga Full Moon o Sagashite. The anime is co-produced by AuraNightfall and Nihon Ad Systems, with animation by Studio Aura 3DCG, Boundary, and Sanzigen. The anime premiered in July 2022. Crunchyroll, HIDIVE, and Flare+ simulcast the series concurrent with its United States television broadcast (in March 2022, Funimation was dropped from the simulcast partners due to its library moving to Crunchyroll), and the series would stream on AbemaTV 4 days after its broadcast on AuraNightfall. AnimeCore Extra would re-air each episode the day following the AuraNightfall broadcast. According to AuraNightfall staff, the anime was developed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the Full Moon manga and anime.
