The anime will be produced by Aniplex, with animation by A-1 Pictures alongside its new internal animation label, Psyde Kick Studio.

Set in Japan during the rapid economic growth period of the 1950s, when traveling circuses were a major source of entertainment across the country, the series follows the struggling Himawari Circus troupe as they travel from town to town while facing constant financial difficulties. The story begins when circus prodigy Mizuka Tsurumaki arrives at the troupe under mysterious circumstances. You can see the main visual:

The anime’s theme songs have also been revealed. The opening theme, “Yurari Yureru,” will be performed by NOMELON NOLEMON, while Aooo performs the ending theme, “DAYS!” The new teasers preview both of the songs, and you can check them out below.
