The World Ends with You The Animation (すばらしきこのせかいThe Animation Subarashiki Kono Sekai The Animation, lit. "It's a Wonderful World" The Animation) is an anime series adaptation of The World Ends with You video game. Some of the original team members that worked on The World Ends with You returned to work on the animation. However, all episodes were written by Midori Gotō who did not work on the original game.
First intended for release in January 2021, it was delayed until April 9, 2021. The anime aired every Saturday morning at 1:25 a.m. (JST) on Japan's MBS / TBS 28 stations, during the "Super Animeism" block. The full series is 12 episodes long and allows those who did not play the original game to experience the basic plot points of the story, although in a very concise manner with some adaptation difference.
