Heaven Official’s Blessing–No News, Much to Fans’ Dismay

Unfortunately, despite being listed in the panel announcement, there was no update on Tian Guan Ci Fu (aka Heaven Official’s Blessing), leaving many fans disappointed. Still, the rest of the lineup more than made up for it.

Final Thoughts

While the lack of Heaven Official’s Blessing news stung, BiliBili still delivered a strong showing—and Team Redbeanime is already counting down the days until Link Click Season 3.
