Happy New Year From Around the Anime World: Hold Your Horses Part II

New Years in Japan means it's time to send out nengajō (New Year's greeting postcards) to friends, family, and associates. Often stamped with 賀状新年 (gajō shinnen or greeting in the new year) or 賀状 (gajō or greeting), the postcards are a staple of New Year's. But, with the digital age, those in the anime and manga world can send out their nengajō to all their fans. What sort of greetings do they have for 2026?
