<p>The seasons are shifting once again in <em>Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring</em>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Story Synopsis</h2>



<p><em>Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring</em> is an original anime inspired by <strong>Kana Akatsuki’s</strong> light novel series, illustrated by <strong>Suoh</strong>. Known for her award-winning work on <em>Violet Evergarden</em>, Akatsuki brings her lyrical storytelling style to a new mythic setting—where the natural world itself depends on the will of four divine agents.</p>



<p>The story begins a decade after <strong>Spring vanished</strong> from the world. The once vibrant lands have grown stagnant since the <strong>Agent of Spring, Hinagiku</strong>, mysteriously disappeared. Her loyal guardian, <strong>Sakura Himedaka</strong>, has searched tirelessly to find her and restore the rhythm of the seasons. When Hinagiku suddenly reappears, the two embark on a journey to rekindle Spring’s light and confront the other seasonal agents—each guarding their own secrets.</p>



<p>This new chapter introduces the <strong>Agent of Autumn, Nadeshiko Iwaizuki</strong>, and her protector <strong>Rindo Azami</strong>, who appear in a newly released visual that captures the melancholy beauty of fall. Nadeshiko is shown placing a wreath upon Rindo’s head, symbolizing both gratitude and burden—the eternal balance between those who lead and those who guard.</p>

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Publication / Announcement Details</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The autumn visual and teaser video were released on <strong>October 6, 2025</strong>, through official channels.</li>



<li>The anime is being produced by <strong>WIT Studio</strong>, the studio behind <em>Attack on Titan</em> (Seasons 1–3) and <em>Ranking of Kings</em>.</li>



<li><strong>Ken Yamamoto</strong> is directing, with <strong>Ayumu Hisao</strong> overseeing series composition and <strong>Namiko Torii</strong> designing the characters.</li>



<li><strong>Kazuhiro Furuhashi</strong> (<em>Spy x Family</em>, <em>Rurouni Kenshin 2023</em>) serves as animation advisor.</li>



<li>The project is based on Akatsuki’s light novel, first serialized by <strong>ASCII Media Works</strong> in April 2021.</li>



<li>No broadcast date or official streaming platforms have yet been confirmed, but promotional material suggests a <strong>2026 premiere window</strong>.</li>
</ul>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Character Highlights</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hinagiku and Sakura Himedaka</h3>



<p><strong>Hinagiku</strong> is the missing Agent of Spring whose disappearance plunged the world into imbalance. Her companion and guardian, <strong>Sakura</strong>, is a steadfast protector who has spent years searching for her. Their reunion sets the foundation for the story’s central emotional arc—one about faith, forgiveness, and the struggle to restore what was lost.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nadeshiko Iwaizuki and Rindo Azami</h3>



<p>The newly revealed <strong>Agent of Autumn</strong>, <strong>Nadeshiko Iwaizuki</strong>, embodies change and introspection. Her visual debut portrays her with her guardian, <strong>Rindo Azami</strong>, in a tender, symbolic moment of renewal. Together, they reflect the maturity and melancholy that define Autumn, hinting that their relationship will contrast the hopeful yet fragile dynamic between Spring and her guardian.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Did You Know?</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The <em>Dance of Spring</em> subtitle comes from the first volume of the <em>Agents of the Four Seasons</em> light novel series.</li>



<li>The concept imagines that <strong>Winter existed first</strong>, creating the other three seasons—Spring, Summer, and Autumn—to ease its loneliness.</li>



<li>The anime’s production was quietly greenlit in early 2024, but <em>WIT Studio</em> only confirmed its involvement in mid-2025.</li>



<li>Before the new autumn reveal, both <strong>Spring</strong> and <strong>Summer visuals</strong> had been released, suggesting the show will rotate focus on each season before its debut.</li>
</ul>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p>With its breathtaking visuals, poetic direction, and Akatsuki’s storytelling pedigree, <em>Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring</em> is shaping up to be one of the most artistically ambitious anime in production. The newly released autumn visual hints that every season will have a story to tell—and every agent, a burden to bear.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>The fall anime season is already stacked, but one new title has carved out plenty of buzz: <em>Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon: My Gift Lvl 9999 Unlimited Gacha</em>. With its October debut fast approaching, the production team has unveiled eight main cast members, setting the stage for a fantasy adventure that blends betrayal, survival, and overpowered abilities.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Story Synopsis</h2>



<p>Originally a light novel series by Shisui Meikyou, <em>Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon</em> follows the story of <strong>Light</strong>, an adventurer betrayed by his trusted comrades and left to die in a treacherous dungeon. Instead of perishing, he awakens a hidden ability—an “Unlimited Gacha” skill set to level 9999.</p>



<p>The twist? His newfound power doesn’t just give him a fighting chance; it rewrites his destiny. From victim to potential overlord, Light sets out on a path where revenge, redemption, and survival intermingle, creating a darker spin on the familiar dungeon-crawler narrative.</p>
