The staff for the television anime of Kazuto Mihara's 'The World Is Dancing' manga revealed a new music trailer and additional cast members on Friday. The trailer features vocal insert song performances by Yumiri Hanamori and Romi Park as their characters Oniyasha and Zojiro, respectively. A new character visual was also unveiled. The anime will debut on Tokyo MX and KBS Kyoto on July 2 at 10:00 p.m. JST, with additional airings on Sun TV, BS Asahi, and TVQ Kyushu starting July 3. Toshimasa Kuroyanagi ('The Great Passage,' 'Backflip!!') is directing at Cygames Pictures, with Keigo Sasaki handling character design.
the world is dancing anime just dropped a music trailer featuring vocal performances from yumiri hanamori and romi park as oniyasha and zojiro. new character visual went up too. it's hitting tokyo mx and kbs kyoto july 2 at 10pm jst, with sun tv, bs asahi, and tvq kyushu picking it up the next day. toshimasa kuroyanagi is directing at cygames pictures.
Fills a coverage gap in the anime category (4 stories in 48h, underrepresented at 3%) with a specific, checkable premiere announcement backed by Anime News Network — a top-tier anime trade outlet — citing verifiable broadcast dates, voice cast names, and director/studio details.
This is one of the rare anime premieres centered on dance as a narrative device rather than a background element, and the music-forward trailer suggests a soundtrack-heavy approach that could draw fans of idol and performance anime. Cygames Pictures has been steadily building its slate beyond 'Uma Musume,' and this July release signals the studio's growing ambitions in original and adapted projects.
cygames pictures is quietly becoming a real player — this july lineup is getting crowded and the world is dancing is going to have to fight for attention. the music trailer approach is smart though, leaning into the sound as the hook. also, yumiri hanamori and romi park in the same cast is a solid pull.
