Last month, the reveal of Anime Expo 2020’s program cover sparked hope that The World Ends With You news would be coming soon.
I wanted to believe it meant a sequel would finally be announced, since I’ve been waiting for a sequel ever since I finished the original game.
Well, it’s not a sequel, but it did mean something… The World Ends With You is getting an anime adaptation!
A new website for The World Ends With You: The Animation features a countdown to the day of its official reveal, an Anime Expo Lite 2020 broadcast on July 3 at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET. In true TWEWY fashion, the countdown began exactly 7 days ahead of the broadcast, although you can see from my screenshot that we now have 5 days to go (counting today).
Square Enix also opened up a Twitter account for the show, and it’s been counting down as well.
I don’t know how the anime adaptation will be, but I’m happy to at least see signs of life from the series. And if the TWEWY anime does well, maybe we’ll have a chance at getting a sequel after all…
(Or more likely, the anime will end with a TWEWY sequel tease and then we’ll hear nothing. But I can dream.)
What do you think about the news that The World Ends With You is getting an anime?
[…] the anime on the horizon, you might assume the new countdown is related to that, but there are a few reasons […]
