The staff of the television anime adaptation of Kazuto Mihara's manga The World Is Dancing released a music trailer and announced two new cast members on Friday. Veteran voice actor Yoji Matsuda, known for his role as Ashitaka in Princess Mononoke, joins the cast as Inuo, a mysterious man who appears and disappears while influencing the protagonist Oniyasha. Matsuda stated that this is his first regular role in a serialized TV anime. Miyuki Sawashiro, whose credits include Fujiko Mine in Lupin the Third and Kurapika in Hunter x Hunter (2011), voices Shirabyoshi, a woman struggling to survive in difficult circumstances. The trailer also previews vocal insert songs performed by Yumiri Hanamori as Oniyasha and Romi Park as Zojiro.

Toshimasa Kuroyanagi directs the series at Cygames Pictures, with character designs by Keigo Sasaki. The story follows a boy named Oniyasha born into a family of sarugaku theater performers in 1374, who would later shape the art of Noh and be remembered as Zeami.
