Wandance Anime: Cast & October Premiere!

23 Apr, 2025 by W~W

A split image showing a live-action photo of a young woman on the left and an anime-style illustration of a female character on the right.  The live-action photo depicts a young woman with long, straight black hair with blunt bangs that fall just above her eyes. She has fair skin and is wearing a light grey, ruffled-collar top. Her hands are gently resting on her chin, and she gazes directly at the camera with a soft, neutral expression.  The anime character on the right is depicted in a similar style, with long straight silver hair parted in the middle. She's wearing a light beige cardigan over a dark blue and grey plaid mini-skirt, a dark tie, and dark socks and shoes. The anime style is clean and modern, with minimal shading and a focus on clear lines. The background behind the live-action photo is a simple, out-of-focus light grey, while the anime character is set against a plain white background. The image likely shows a voice actress alongside the character she voices in an anime.
Hina Youmiya, Hikari Wanda

A split image showing a live-action photograph of a young man on the left and an anime-style illustration of a male character on the right. The live-action photo depicts a man with short, dark hair, wearing a loose-fitting, long-sleeved white button-down shirt. He has a serious expression and appears to be standing against a white brick wall background.  The anime illustration shows a character with similar dark hair, styled in a slightly more structured manner. This character is dressed in a crisp white long-sleeved button-down shirt, a dark-colored tie, and dark-colored trousers.  He stands with his hands clasped near his chest and looks straight ahead with a neutral expression. The artistic style of the anime character is clean and modern with distinct outlines. The overall image likely represents a comparison between the live-action actor and his anime character counterpart.
Kouki Uchiyama, Kaboku Kotani

The anime adaptation of "Wandance" will premiere in October, with Kouki Uchiyama as Kaboku Kotani and Hina Youmiya as Hikari Wanda. The teaser visual features Wanda dancing against a blue background. Director Michiya Kato is using motion capture. The story follows Kaboku, who has a stutter, and Hikari, as they explore dance. The anime is produced by Madhouse and Cyclographica, with choreography by RIE HATA.
