Kazuto Mihara’s upcoming TV anime, “The World is Dancing,” has been officially announced for the Winter Anime 2026 season.
This historical Japanese drama is set in 1374 and touches heavily on themes such as impermanence, self-discovery, and artistic creation. Take a look at the official synopsis:
In 1374, during the turbulent age when the Northern and Southern Courts were locked in conflict, the Northern Court’s shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, was becoming an increasingly dominant force. Born the son of Kan’ami, head of the Kanze troupe of sarugaku performers, Oniyasha drifts through his days with a hazy question lodged in his heart: Why do people dance? His spirit remains clouded until the day he encounters a dance that is truly “good.” Curious, sensitive, and strikingly beautiful, the boy meets people, laughs, cries, confronts his own weaknesses, and slowly begins to shape a new form of dance for a world steeped in impermanence.
This work is based on the original manga from Kazuto Mihara, which was serialized in the weekly MORNING magazine published by KODANSHA. The anime will be directed by Toshimasa Kuroyanagi and produced by CygamesPictures (Princess Connect! Re:Dive, Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, Manaria Friends).
