Artist Demo is known for their work on the upcoming manga Shūgaku Ryokō ~Kyoto・Nara 4-paku 4-nichi, a collaboration with writer Masaya Tsunamoto. The manga is set to launch in Akita Shoten's Bessatsu Shōnen Champion on July 15. The story follows a high school student on a school trip to Kyoto who becomes caught in a supernatural phenomenon.
Demo's previous work includes contributions to the anime Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun Season 4. In episode 7, the Misfit Class performs a musical that takes up the entire episode. The episode focuses on Keroli's choreography and the class's faith that Purson Soi will appear. Purson gradually fades into visibility during the performance, playing the bat demon Pixie. Kaede Hondo's singing as Elizabetta receives particular praise. The English dub lacks subtitles for the songs, which undermines the episode's immersive quality.
Episode 6 of the same season centers on Purson Soi's mother supporting his choice to defy his father and stay in the Music Festival. The episode also introduces judge Poro, whose harsh judging style threatens the Misfit Class's performance without Purson. Demo's involvement in the series is limited to these episodes, with no other credits mentioned in the available stories.

Live Stream,' during which Shinya Arino, known on the show as Section Chief Arino, decided to officially treat Wii and PlayStation 3 software as retro games. The show's definition of retro software is 'games for hardware that has been out for more than 20 years,' and both consoles, released in 2006, reach that milestone this year. The decision followed two viewer polls and a 'taste test' where Arino played New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Wii Fit, and Demon's Souls. The first poll, with about 14,000 votes, favored unsealing at 71 percent, and the second, with about 17,000 votes, saw that rise to 80 percent. Arino raised the 'unseal' card after deliberating, saying the show wants to attract new fans in their 20s. The specific timing for tackling these games and which titles will be chosen remains undecided, and viewer requests are being solicited.
