AnimeFesta begins exclusive early streaming of 'The Snow Woman Widow and the Cursed Ring
WWWave’s anime subscription service AnimeFesta has begun an exclusive early streaming run of the TV anime The Snow Woman Widow and the Cursed Ring. The release started on September 11, 2026, at 17:00 JST.
Viewers can access two versions of the first episode. The standard broadcast version matches the content aired on terrestrial television. Additionally, a premium uncensored version is available exclusively on the platform for subscribers with a Premium Plan.
The series follows Satoru, a building manager who develops feelings for Fuyu, a snow woman resident. After accidentally angering her, he uses a mysterious ring designed to facilitate communication with youkai. The device unexpectedly makes Fuyu highly aggressive, leading to a close relationship between the socially awkward widow and the human youth.
