HIDIVE to Simulcast 'The World Is Dancing' Anime in Summer 2026
Anime streaming platform HIDIVE has made an exciting move for the summer 2026 season by adding a new anime to its lineup. According to an exclusive report from Anime Corner, the platform has acquired the simulcast rights for the dance-themed anime “The World Is Dancing”. This deal is seen as a strong addition to HIDIVE's summer 2026 schedule.
Although no official announcement has been made yet, many details about “The World Is Dancing” are still unknown. Details such as whether the production is an adaptation of a manga or manhwa, the creative team, and the studio name have not been shared. However, industry sources suggest that the project will be brought to life by a major production company and will offer an original story centered on the world of dance. The focus on dance and music could especially excite fans of works like “Ballroom e Yōkoso” or “Dance Dance Danseur”.
In recent years, HIDIVE has built a solid audience with popular titles such as “Oshi no Ko”, “The Dangers in My Heart”, and “Call of the Night”. The platform's choices, especially in niche genres, continue with the acquisition of a unique themed work like “The World Is Dancing”. A simulcast release means the anime will be available to viewers simultaneously with Japan, with subtitles and possibly a dub. This is a major advantage for fans who want to experience the rhythm and choreography of the dance scenes without any delay.
Although Summer 2026 is still two years away, HIDIVE's early move shows confidence in the production. In the coming months, the studio, director, voice cast, and first promotional images are expected to be revealed. A dance-themed anime requires a production that is particularly high-quality in visuals and audio; therefore, it would not be surprising if one of the industry's leading studios (such as Madhouse or WIT Studio) is involved in the project. The most important question for fans: Will “The World Is Dancing” be just a dance competition story, or will it contain deeper drama and character development? We will learn the answer in time.
To stay updated on developments, keep following HIDIVE's official announcements and reliable sources like Anime Corner. This news could be the first sign that summer 2026 will be quite colorful!
