A new original project was announced in October 2022 by Kadokawa with Shumatsu Train Doko e Ku?, which translates as Where Does the Doomsday Train Go? We got a lot of the details for it last year with it setting plans for a 2024 debut. With an April 1st, 2024 premiere for the series set, Crunchyroll previously announced their pickup of the series as Train to the End of the World. It’ll be a same-day simulcast with episodes available to viewers in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, CIS, and the Indian subcontinent.

The latest update is from the Japanese side as they’ve brought out a promotional spot for the upcoming home video release (which we’ll dig into in detail later) which shows off a bit more of the show.

Tsutomu Mizushima is directing it from the series composition by Michiko Yokote. Asako Nishida is handling the character designs with EMT Squared on the animation production.

The Japanese cast includes:

  • Chika Anzai as Shizuru Chikura
  • Azumi Waki as Nadeshiko Hoshi
  • Erisa Kuon as Reimi Kuga
  • Hina Kino as Akira Shinonome
  • Nao Tōyama as Yōka Nakatomi
  • Kazuyuki Okitsu as Zenjiro

The series features the opening theme song “GA-TAN GO-TON” from Rei Nakashima.

Plot Concept: A certain town in the suburbs. This was not an ordinary countryside town that you could find anywhere. The residents were experiencing a strange phenomenon. But even so, Shizuru Chikura held a strong desire. She wanted to see her missing friends again! Shizuru and her friends venture out into the world outside, taking an abandoned and motionless train, not knowing if they will make it back alive. What awaits them at the last stop of this running doomsday train?
