Thematic Premise
The narrative of Agents of the Four Seasons delves into a world where seasons are personified as “Agents” who wield special powers to circulate the seasons throughout the land. The core myth of the series explains that Winter, initially the sole season, created Spring out of loneliness. Subsequently, Summer and Autumn were born to complete the cycle. The Dance of Spring arc specifically focuses on Hinagiku, the Agent of Spring, who disappeared for ten years, causing spring to vanish from the land. Her unexpected return sets the stage for a story of loss, renewal, and the restoration of the seasonal balance.
As of the current announcements, a premiere date for the Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring anime has not yet been confirmed.
