The anime adaptation of the manga series Kamiina Botan Yoeru Sugata wa Yuri no Hana, localized as Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk, premiered on April 10, 2026. The series is produced by Soigne, directed by Takashi Sakuma, with scripts by Yoko Yonaiyama.

The Japanese voice cast includes Sayumi Suzushiro as Botan, Yoshino Aoyama as Ibuki, Minako Kotobuki as Kanade Gujyo, Yurina Amami as Akane Yusa, and Maki Kawase as Chang Chin-lan.

The series has drawn attention for its opening theme sequence, directed by China, which uses 18fps, 8mm film texture, and cine-calli techniques. Anime Anime highlighted this OP as one of three spring 2026 sequences pushing visual boundaries. The production has also released clean versions of its ending theme sequences each week after each episode, treating the ED as a standalone promotional asset separate from the episode itself. The sixth episode clean ending theme was released on May 17, 2026, continuing this pattern.
