Topic / Subject
“Even a Replica Can Fall in Love” dropped a new trailer and theme song details, with an April 7 Japan premiere date reported.

TL;DR
Japan’s date is set and the music is locked. Now it’s all about global streaming and whether an English dub is part of the initial rollout.

Key Details

• AniTrendz reports the TV anime begins airing in Japan on April 7, 2026.
• AniTrendz reports the opening theme is “Refrain” (shytaupe) and the ending theme is “Awa” (asmi).
• The official site lists key staff and cast, including dual roles for Sumire Moroboshi (Nao/Sunao) and Ryota Suzuki as Shuya.
• AniTrendz reports five additional cast members were announced in the latest update.
• International streamer, dub timing, and episode count were not confirmed in the intake.

Breakdown
This is the kind of romance title that can quietly turn into a weekly obsession if it lands the tone and the cast chemistry.

The good news for fans is the cleanest part of the rollout is already handled: an actual premiere date, a trailer to set expectations, and theme songs that give the vibe a signature sound. That’s usually the point where a show stops feeling like “one to watch” and starts feeling like “one to schedule.”

The missing piece is the part global viewers care about most: where it streams outside Japan, and whether the dub plan is immediate or later. A romance show’s momentum can be very streamer-dependent, if it’s easy to watch weekly, it has a better shot at breaking out.

So right now it’s a strong “coming soon” signal with one big unanswered question: who has it, and how fast can they deliver it worldwide?

Comment
If this lands on a major streamer, do you want a same-day dub, or are you fine with subs first as long as it’s weekly and easy to watch?
