Reno Lemaire's French manga Dreamland is being adapted as a TV anime that premieres in Japan on October 17, airing in the ANiMAZiNG!!! slot on ABC TV and TV Asahi affiliates across 24 stations. Three Japanese voice cast members were confirmed for the fully localized version ahead of the premiere.
Reno Lemaire's Dreamland is a French manga with over 800,000 copies in print in France, and it is being adapted into a television anime. The Japanese broadcast was announced in July 2026: the series airs on ABC TV and TV Asahi network stations nationwide in the ANiMAZiNG!!! block, every Saturday at 2:00 AM, with a premiere set for October 17. The production is handled by the French studios Ellipse and La Chouette Compagnie, directed by Juan Pablo Machado and Joe Celse. The Japanese version is a full localization with Japanese voice actors.
By September 2026 the localization had moved into casting. Takuya Eguchi was added as Savana, a foul-mouthed, quick-tempered charismatic fighter; Hiroyuki Yoshino as Saba, an easygoing art college student; and Masahiko Tanaka as Yung, a mysterious old man who knows Dreamland's secrets. The story follows Terrence, a boy who lost his mother in a fire and, after overcoming his fear of fire within a nightmare, awakens as a Dreamer who travels the dream world. Japanese localization credits include sound direction by Soichiro Kubo and production by Tohokushinsha and Amuse Creative Studio.
What is settled across both stories is the shape of the release: a French-origin manga, a French production, and a Japanese broadcast with a Japanese cast. Lemaire said he was surprised and honored that the work is reaching Japan, and the directors said they grew up watching Japanese anime.
