Mebius is a studio active in both game publishing and anime production, currently releasing a 1993 Super Famicom RPG revival for the Nintendo Switch in November 2026, while its original anime Mebius Dust, a 2019 Project Anima winner, premieres July 9, 2026, on Tokyo MX and BS Fuji.
Mebius operates across two fronts. Its most recent announcement, on August 27, 2026, is a revival of the 1993 Super Famicom RPG Bazoo! Magic World for the Nintendo Switch. The original, published by Hot B, was that company's final work, released two days after its bankruptcy was decided. The Switch version adds save/load anywhere, adjustable screen size, a five-level play speed option, and a rewind function. The game is compatible with Nintendo Switch 2. The download version costs 2,980 yen, the standard physical edition 4,400 yen, and a Special Limited Edition at 11,000 yen includes a newly illustrated box, an original soundtrack, and an art book.
On the anime side, Mebius Dust is an original TV anime based on Hajime Shinagawa's story, which won the grand prize in the Kids/Game category of the Project Anima competition in 2019. It is the third Project Anima winner to reach the screen, following Sakugan (2021) and The Story of the Girl Who Couldn't Become a Wizard (October 2024). The anime, directed by Tarou Iwasaki at Doga Kobo with series scripts by Yoriko Tomita, premieres July 9 on Tokyo MX and BS Fuji, with a one-cour run. The main cast includes Yuto Takenaka as Araki, Nene Hieda as his younger sister Stella, and Haruka Sato as Olga. The opening theme is "Mebius" by Leo Ieiri, and the ending theme is "Dilemma" by Ai Tomioka. Reviews of the first episode, as published by Anime Feminist, were underwhelmed, citing cluttered characters, rushed pacing, and unclear worldbuilding.
