Aniplus-Asia announced on Monday that it will air Rascal Does Not Dream of a Sister Venturing Out, the first of two sequel anime films based on Hajime Kamoshida's Seishun Buta Yarō light novel series, on February 10.

The film opened in Japan in June 2023. It earned 175,648,924 yen (about US$1.28 million) and sold 118,108 tickets in its first three days. Odex screened the film in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam in September to October 2023.

The sequel anime project adapts the eighth and ninth novels in the franchise: Rascal Does Not Dream of a Sister Venturing Out and Rascal Does Not Dream of a Knapsack Kid. The latter film opened in Japan in December 2023. Odex opened the film in Singapore on January 6, in Thailand and the Philippines on January 13, and in Malaysia on January 25.

Sōichi Masui returned to direct the project at CloverWorks. Masahiro Yokotani was also back for composition and scripts, and Satomi Tamura returned as the character designer. The first film's theme song is a solo version of the earlier television anime's "Fukashigi no Karte" (Mysterious Chart) song by Kaede Azusagawa (as voiced by Yurika Kubo).

Seishun Buta Yarō wa Bunny Girl-senpai no Yume wo Minai (Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai), the television anime based on the light novel series, premiered in Japan in October 2018 and aired for 13 episodes. Aniplus-Asia aired a simulcast of the anime as it aired in Japan.

Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dreaming Girl (Seishun Buta Yarō wa Yume-Miru Shōjo no Yume wo Minai), the anime film that adapts the the sixth and seventh light novel volumes in the franchise, opened in Japan in June 2019. Aniplus-Asia screened the film in many territories in Southeast Asia.

The franchise's "University Student Arc" is getting an anime adaptation.
