Blue Box Episode 15: Exact release date & time, where to watch and more

Blue Box Episode 15 is titled “August 26.” Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming anime entry. 

Blue Box Part 2 is already filled with complications and gasp-worthy moments, even with only a few episodes out so far. Episode 14, titled “What's the Connection?” saw Chinatsu face immense pressure at the nationals as she ultimately returned with a heavy heart. Meanwhile, off-court, Hina cheered up a worried Taiki by playing a game. The loser was left with no choice but to disclose an embarrassing secret. Once out, everything changes between them, eventually affecting Chinatsu in a cliffhanger ending.

The next episode, titled “August 26,” will be out this week. Its vivacious preview has already played its part in lifting the viewers' mood. The official X page of the Ao No Hako anime also shared a celebratory update on January 15, announcing Taiki's birthday.

Listed for a total of 25 episodes, Blue Box has ditched the new, not-so-favourite among fans approach, limiting an anime season to 12 episodes. The first half of the first season's journey wrapped up on December 19. Blue Box earned a week-long hiatus before the series turned the page for the second-part commencement. Season 1 Part 2 resumed the high school drama on January 2, continuing its weekly storyline in the new year.

The follow-up season part's opening theme is Macaroni Empitsu's “Saraba," whereas TOMOO's “Contrast” works its magic as the new closing theme. Right before Part 2 commenced, anime officials released a key visual, summarising the theme of the forthcoming episodes. Its tagline, “The one I like is," aptly explores Taiki's mental turmoil, as in addition to his own emotional baggage and feelings for Chinatsu, he now has Hina to worry about as well since her love confession.
