The Drops of God Anime Reveals New Themes for Its Second Half: SUPER★DRAGON and eill Step In

When an anime about wine changes its theme songs, we treat it like swapping the bottle mid-dinner: risky, intriguing, and sometimes exactly what the pairing needed. The Drops of God (Kami no Shizuku) is doing just that, announcing fresh music for the second half of its TV run.

New opening and ending themes for the second half

The series will introduce a new musical set as it moves into its latter portion. The second opening theme is “Call Me Asap” performed by SUPER★DRAGON, while the second ending theme is “Every Summer” performed by singer-songwriter eill.

We like this kind of mid-season refresh. It’s the narrative equivalent of airing out the room, then coming back in with a better playlist. And yes, we’re old enough to remember when you had to wait for a CD single—now it’s more like: blink, and it’s on your headphones.

The anime’s current run, staff, and production setup

The Drops of God premiered in April and is set to run for half a year, which effectively places it in that comfortable “two halves” TV structure. The series is directed by Kenji Itoso at Satelight, working in collaboration with YANCHESTER. Series composition and scripts are supervised and written by Yū Mitsuru. Character design is handled by Takehiro Suwa, and the music is composed by Eishi Segawa.

Put together, that lineup reads like a tasting menu: different specialties, one final flavor. And if we sound hungry, it’s because anime seasons are long and dignity is short.

A manga with long legs (and multiple lives)

The original manga The Drops of God was launched by siblings Shin and Yuko Kibayashi under the pen name Tadashi Agi, with art by Shū Okimoto, in Morning magazine back in 2004. It concluded in June 2014, finishing with 44 compiled volumes (final volume shipped in July 2014). That’s roughly a decade of publication, which in manga time is a proper marathon—no dramatic exaggeration needed.

Then the story kept evolving. Marriage: Kami no Shizuku Saishūshō (Drops of God: Mariage) ran from May 2015 to October 2020. After that, Kami no Shizuku deuxième (Drops of God Second) launched in September 2023 and ended in April 2024. If this franchise were a cork, it just refuses to stay down.

And it hasn’t only lived on paper. A Japanese live-action adaptation aired in 2009. Later, a multilingual, internationally co-produced live-action series arrived in 2023 on Apple TV, followed by a second season that premiered on January 21.

Streaming details and what we should do next

For the anime, Crunchyroll is streaming the series as it airs in Japan across North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and the CIS, and it’s also offering an English dub.

Our move now: once the second-half themes drop in the episodes, we should give them the proper ritual. Add “Call Me Asap” and “Every Summer” to our seasonal playlist, then rewatch the transition episode to see how the new songs change the mood. And if we want the full vintage, we can go back to the manga timeline—2004 to 2024 is a lot of story for one glass.

If you’re following this series, keep an eye on that second-half shift. Theme songs are rarely “just songs.” They’re the label on the bottle. And we all judge the bottle a little—don’t pretend you don’t.
