The opening section of the upcoming Mebius Dust anime’s first episode has been officially released on YouTube. The preview was accompanied by the announcement of the show’s July broadcast start window, main cast, and opening song.
Mebius Dust stars Yuto Takenaka as Akira, Nene Hieda as Stella, and Haruka Sato as Olga. Meanwhile, the opening song is “Mebius” as Leo Ieri.
The anime is inspired by the kids/games category winner of Project ANIMA, a joint initiative by DeNA, Nippon Cultural Broadcasting, Sotsu, and MBS that focuses on the production of original TV anime whose premises are based on submitted novels, scripts, manga, and proposals. In the story’s setting, a meteorite shower fell onto Earth on February 29, 2000, causing a new substance (the titular Mebius Dust) to appear and enter the atmosphere. The substance replaces limbs and eyes lost to the meteorites by way of “Rammus,” which can freely change form according to one’s will. Post-incident, Japan suffers from terrorism due to its worsened economic gap, and has an anti-RC special mobile unit and an associated school set up.
Taro Iwasaki (One Week Friends, Sweetness and Lightning) is directing the anime at Doga Kobo with series composition from Yoriko Tomita (My Dress-Up Darling).
The original Mebius Dust story was written by Hajime Shinagawa. Its Project ANIMA result and the anime adaptation were announced in March 2019.
