The To You in the Beyond anime film is in its final promotional stretch ahead of an October 9, 2026 opening in Japan. The main voice cast is set, a theme song artist is named, and six character videos have been posted, while international release details have not been announced.
The To You in the Beyond anime film adapts Akiko Abe's 2017 novel and is directed by Junichi Wada at TMS Entertainment. It opens in Japan on October 9, 2026. The film's world premiere was held at Anime Expo 2026, where it screened as a feature-length adaptation.
Promotion has rolled out on a steady schedule. The official website announced Naohito Fujiki as Nishina, the homeroom teacher of protagonist Kazuki Tsukigase, in early July. A full trailer and key visual followed later in the month, along with theme song artist Tota and four more cast members. A compilation of six character promotional videos arrived in September, alongside the reveal of Sumire Uesaka as Tamaki Mishima, Wataru Hatano as Shoji Aiba, Nobuhiko Okamoto as Akimitsu Yamu, and Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Yoshiki Suga. They join Hiiro Ishibashi as Kazuki Tsukigase and Anna Nagase as Nao.
The story centers on a sixteen-year-old girl who washes ashore on a remote island in 2026 and says '1974' as her first word. Early reaction from the Anime Expo premiere pointed to deliberate pacing and emotional reveals, with a central mystery that rewards patient viewers. Shochiku and Pony Canyon are handling the film, and international release details have not been announced.
