As mentioned, the Miru: Paths To My Future anime officially announced its April 2025 release date via a new promotional video. The promotional video also revealed the opening theme song information, set to be AI=UTA, performed by singer group V.W.P., which includes members KAF, RIM, Harusaruhi, Isekaijoucho, and KOKO.

No cast has been confirmed for the series as of this article’s writing, but several key staff members have been revealed. As mentioned, Yanmar Holdings is credited as the creator and producer of the series, with Masuo Ueda as the executive producer. Skyfall Co., Ltd. is in production support, with btrax Japan LLC cooperating in the planning of the anime. Shigeru Morita is writing the story scripts, and Yanmar designers are creating the robots.
In July 2023, the staff behind the Miru: Paths To My Future anime stated their intent to steer the main mecha design away from existing hero robot design tropes. In response to whether the story will have a villain, staff said the story may not have a villain and may lack a traditional hero or conflict. Yanmar Holdings describes the anime 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?”
