The production is spearheaded by director Shun Kudō, known for his work on Grendizer U, with series composition handled by Atsuo Ishino, who previously contributed to The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor. Character designs are crafted by Haruna Katō, under the supervision of Sayaka Ono, whose experience with BASTARD!! -Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy- ensures a visually compelling adaptation. The music, a critical element for setting the tone of the series, is composed by Kohta Yamamoto, celebrated for his work on Attack on Titan The Final Season. Pony Canyon is overseeing music production, while Kōsuke Murayama serves as assistant director and Kentarō Azuma takes on the role of action director. Yukio Nagasaki, known for Love Live! Sunshine!!, is the sound director, promising a rich auditory experience.

The anime is a co-production with HIDIVE, which announced its involvement in July 2025, signaling strong backing for the project.

The promotional video offers a glimpse into the series’ aesthetic, blending intense action sequences with emotional character moments, while the key visual highlights the main trio against a backdrop that hints at the story’s supernatural elements.

What is Petals of Reincarnation about?

Petals of Reincarnation follows Tōya Senji, a high school student who excels academically but feels perpetually overshadowed by his overachieving older brother. Despite his efforts, Tōya sees himself as average, yearning to stand out in something meaningful. His life takes a dramatic turn when he reconnects with Haito La Buffet, a classmate who has been absent for some time. Haito reveals she is a “Returner,” someone who has unlocked talents from a past life—in her case, the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi—through a mysterious “branch of reincarnation.” This supernatural mechanism allows individuals to access extraordinary abilities from their previous incarnations.

As Tōya learns about the existence of other Returners, he discovers that some harbor ambitious, even dangerous plans for their reclaimed talents. The story delves into themes of self-worth, ambition, and the consequences of wielding power from past lives, set against a backdrop of action and supernatural intrigue. Tōya’s journey becomes one of self-discovery as he navigates the complexities of his own desires and the world of Returners, where talent and ambition collide with profound consequences.
