Aniplex just dropped something worth your attention. This Thursday, the studio unveiled a fresh trailer for Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring, and the verdict is in: March 28, 2026. Mark it.
Wit Studio is handling animation duties, and if the promotional footage is anything to go by, we’re in for a visual treat. But here’s what caught my ear—orangestar, the Vocaloid producer behind some genuinely infectious tracks, is pulling double duty. Both the opening Petals feat. Kase
and the ending Hana Ikada feat. Kase
bear his signature. A bold choice that pays off.
Behind the Camera
Ken Yamamoto directs, with Kazuhiro Furuhashi—yes, the Spy x Family veteran—serving as animation advisor. On composition duties? Kensuke Ushio, whose work on A Silent Voice and Chainsaw Man speaks for itself.
The Voices Behind the Seasons
The casting department earned their paycheck:
- Yuka Nukui leads as Hinagiku Kayō
- Yoshino Aoyama—Hitori Gotoh herself from Bocchi the Rock!—voices Sakura Himedaka
- Sumire Uesaka brings Ruri Hazakura to life
- Shōgo Sakata (Aki Hayakawa in Chainsaw Man) takes on Rosei Kantsubaki
- Satoshi Hino, the voice behind Demon Slayer’s Rengoku, joins as Itechō Kangetsu
The Story Worth Your Time
Kana Akatsuki wrote this. Remember Violet Evergarden? Same mind. The premise reads like poetry: Winter, alone in existence, created Spring out of loneliness. Then Earth needed rest, and Summer and Autumn followed. Now Hinagiku—the Agent of Spring who vanished a decade ago—must return to restore balance.
The light novel topped Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi!‘s New Titles category in 2022. That’s not nothing.
So here’s what matters: March 28. Wit Studio. Akatsuki’s pen. Ushio’s score. What would make you clear your schedule for this premiere?
