The tournament may be over, but the Kazemai kyudo club faces a new challenge. Masa reveals that a TV station wishes to film Noririn, of the popular idol group Princess Cheer, undergoing training at his shrine. But Masa needs more information about her before committing and asks his dedicated students for help. Unfortunately, the Kazemai club doesn't know much about Noririn, but they recall that a member of the Kirisaki team does! Now, two rivals join forces for the sake of training… and idols!
The fifth Blu-ray Disc and DVD volume of the anime in Japan included the unaired 14th episode. The volume shipped in Japan in May 2019, and the episode debuted during two sessions of a special event for the anime in Sagamihara on in March 2019.
The anime premiered in Japan on the NHK-General channel in October 2018. Sentai Filmworks licensed the anime and streamed the series on Crunchyroll and HIDIVE (with an English dub) as it aired in Japan.
