The Drops of God anime is airing its second half on Crunchyroll, with new theme songs from SUPER★DRAGON and eill. The first episode received mixed reviews, praising its approachable wine education but criticizing uneven animation quality.
The Drops of God anime adaptation premiered its first episode in 2026, following Toyotaka Kanzaki, a young office worker who must compete against rival Issei Tomine to inherit his late father's rare wine collection. The episode condenses the manga's slow start into a 24-minute format, reorienting the story around Toyotaka's perspective. The review notes that the adaptation preserves the series' approachable tone and educational wine talk, with Toyotaka serving as a relatable surrogate for newcomers. However, the review criticizes the animation quality, pointing out noticeable 3D fluid graphics and character models that degrade in medium and long shots.
The series arrives two years after its Apple TV live-action adaptation and after the manga's conclusion, which the review suggests may have reduced the production's artistic ambition. The anime is a half-year series, and its second half is currently airing. The new theme songs were announced in May 2026: SUPER★DRAGON will perform the second opening theme song "Call Me Asap" and eill will perform the second ending theme song "Every Summer." The anime streams on Crunchyroll.

He must compete against rival Issei Tomine to inherit his father's rare wine collection. The episode condenses the manga's slow start into a 24-minute format, reorienting the story around Toyotaka's perspective. The review notes that the adaptation preserves the series' approachable tone and educational wine talk, with Toyotaka serving as a relatable surrogate for newcomers. However, the review criticizes the animation quality, pointing out noticeable 3D fluid graphics and character models that degrade in medium and long shots. The reviewer argues that while the core wine appreciation scenes are visually strong, peripheral elements feel underdeveloped. The series arrives two years after its Apple TV live-action adaptation and after the manga's conclusion, which the review suggests may have reduced the production's artistic ambition.
