Oniyasha Holding a Brush with a Fantastic Starry Sky Background! "Beautiful" Praises for the Stunning Visual from the Anime "The World Is Dancing"

On the official X account of the animation studio Cypic, a special visual and comment for the anime "The World Is Dancing" have been released, creating a buzz among fans.

The account posted about Tanabata in connection with the series as part of its "Cypic's July" theme. It introduced that even in the Muromachi period, there seemed to be an event close to modern Tanabata, and prayed for the success of the series so that many people would be able to watch "The World Is Dancing." While making this wish, a positive determination was written, stating that Cypic will continue to do its best this month as well.

In the released official visual, the protagonist of this work, Oniyasha (CV: Yumiri Hanamori), is dreamily depicted against a deep purple background that looks like a starry night sky. Wearing a Muromachi-period outfit primarily in white and purple, Oniyasha showcases a dynamic, floating-in-the-night-sky pose while holding a brush in the right hand and a fresh green leaf in the left hand. Several shining star motifs in blue, purple, and gold are scattered around, creating a distinctive depiction that accentuates the beauty of the Tanabata night.

"The World Is Dancing" is an anime series based on the manga of the same name by Kazuto Mihara. Set in the Muromachi period, it follows a young boy named Oniyasha, who would later perfect Noh theater, as he encounters an unknown "original dance" amidst his tedious days and pursues his own form of expression. The unique perspective of depicting the world of traditional performing arts through dynamic action and dance is its charm, making it a compelling work that draws viewers into the boy's passion.

In response to this emotionally resonant post, many reactions such as reposts, likes, and bookmarks were shared on social media. Furthermore, full of admiration for the gorgeous visual, a fan praised, "A Tanabata illustration of Oniyasha packed with 'goodness'... It's beautiful," gathering warm support for the series.
