Hana-Doll Anime Reveals Opening Song & April 9 Premiere!
Idol fans, get ready! The Hana-Doll: Reinterpretation of Flowering* anime has just dropped a brand-new trailer, and it’s packed with exciting reveals! The upcoming TV anime, based on MOVIC’s Hana-Doll franchise, is set to premiere on April 9, and the latest promotional video has given us a taste of what’s to come—including its opening and ending theme songs!
The anime’s opening theme, Clockwork Flowers, is performed by the in-story idol group Anthos—the seven-member male idol unit at the heart of the Hana-Doll universe. And if that wasn’t enough, the trailer also teases the ending theme Fall leaves after fall, also sung by Anthos. If you love idol anime with emotional bangers, this one is definitely worth keeping an eye on!
Where & When to Watch
Mark your calendars! Hana-Doll: Reinterpretation of Flowering* will air on Tokyo MX, BS NTV, Sun TV, KBS Kyoto, and TV Aichi starting April 9. So, if you’re a fan of music-filled, dramatic idol stories with a twist, you won’t want to miss it.
A Unique Idol Concept
Now, what makes Hana-Doll stand out from your usual idol anime? Well, it’s not just about singing and dancing—this series comes with a sci-fi twist! The story revolves around the Hana Ningyō Project (Flower Doll Project), where scientists attempt to create the “perfect idols” by implanting special flower seeds inside young men. These idols aren’t just trained—they’re grown! Sounds intriguing, right?
The franchise has been building up its lore since 2019, with drama CDs, music releases, and even a manga adaptation. The anime will adapt the first season of the drama CD series Flowering, so even longtime fans will have something to look forward to.
The anime is in good hands. Masahiro Takata (The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World) directs at A-Real, while Risa Arai (18if) handles character designs. GyroKnuckle (The Family Circumstances of the Irregular Witch) oversees the script, and Saya Fukase (Azur Lane, Ensemble Stars!) produces the 3D CG.
So, whether you’re into idol anime, sci-fi twists, or just love a good story, Hana-Doll: Reinterpretation of Flowering* is shaping up to be a must-watch. With beautiful animation, catchy music, and a unique premise, it’s set to bloom into something special this April!
