The Miru: Paths To My Future anime’s staff also previously revealed the story and cast for each episode, providing a brief synopsis for the plot of each installment. The five episodes are listed as Episode 079: “Stardust Memory,” Episode 101: “The King of the Forest,” Episode 217: “Londonderry Air,” Episode 630: “Re: MIRU,” and Episode 926: “Wait, I’ll Be There.” Each of the five episodes are also said to be set in different eras throughout human history.
Machinery manufacturer Yanmar Holdings created and is producing the anime series, with Masue Ueda serving as the executive producer. Skyfall Co., Ltd. is offering production support, with btrax Japan LLC cooperating in the anime’s planning. Yanmar Holdings describes the series:
“In the distant future, humans create a robot named MIRU capable of traveling through time, visiting various eras, places, and even parallel worlds. Unlike some robots, MIRU isn't equipped with weapons. Instead, it helps people overcome immense obstacles peacefully, encouraging new beginnings without violence.
MIRU continuously evolves by interacting with people, learning and growing to assist those struggling to survive. It listens to their problems and offers support. By helping others, MIRU sets off a “Butterfly Effect,” of dramatic change guiding society toward a brighter future.
Why was MIRU created? What is its purpose? Can it save the Earth and humanity from a dystopian future?”
