One of the most visually anticipated anime of Spring 2026 is nearly here. Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring, based on the celebrated light novel series by Kana Akatsuki — the author of Violet Evergarden — and produced by Wit Studio, is set to premiere on March 28, 2026 in Japan. The series is licensed by Muse Asia for Southeast Asia, with international streaming details expected to be confirmed ahead of its debut.
When Is Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring Premiering?
Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring debuts on March 28, 2026 at 24:00 JST on Tokyo MX, Tochigi TV, Gunma TV, and BS11 in Japan — effectively the early hours of March 29. Muse Asia holds the streaming rights for Southeast Asia and is expected to simulcast the series for regional audiences. International streaming platform details are yet to be officially confirmed at the time of writing, though Wit Studio’s recent productions have found wide global distribution on major anime platforms.
What Is Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring About?
The series is based on the light novel series written by Kana Akatsuki and illustrated by Suoh, published under ASCII Media Works’ Dengeki Bunko imprint since April 2021. Akatsuki is best known internationally for Violet Evergarden, and Agents of the Four Seasons carries a similarly lyrical, myth-inflected emotional register.
The story begins with a creation myth: Winter was once the only season in the world, but found its solitude unbearable and created Spring to love. As the earth itself longed for periods of rest, Summer and Autumn were born. The stewards of this cycle are known as the Agents of the Four Seasons. Ten years before the story begins, Hinagiku, the Agent of Spring, vanished from the world — and with her, spring itself disappeared. Now, after years of hardship, she has returned to restore the cycle to its proper state, and in the spirit of the myth that has existed since the dawn of time, she sends her love once again to Winter.
The premise weaves together fantasy world-building, seasonal mythology, and a romance between figures who carry the weight of the natural order on their shoulders. The light novel series spans multiple volumes covering each seasonal arc, and the anime begins with the Dance of Spring storyline.
Who Is Behind Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring?
The anime is produced by Wit Studio, the acclaimed animation house behind Attack on Titan (Seasons 1–3), Vinland Saga, and Spy x Family. Wit Studio’s involvement guarantees a high production standard, and the studio has consistently delivered visually striking work across fantasy and action genres.
