The World Ends with You is an action role-playing game with urban fantasy elements developed by Square Enix and Jupiter for the Nintendo DS. The World Ends with You features a distinctive art style inspired by Shibuya and its youth culture. It was released in Japan in July 2007.
An anime adaptation was revealed with a teaser website on June 25, 2020, and officially announced on July 3, 2020 as The World Ends with You: The Animation. It is set to premiere worldwide in April 2021 through Funimation. A new preview is also revealed.
The anime is a joint production between Square Enix, DOMERICA, and Shin-Ei Animation. The anime series is directed by Kazuya Ichikawa with screenplay adapted from the game by Midori Gotou. Tetsuya Nomura and Gen Kobayashi are designing the characters, and Takeharu Ishimoto is composing the series' music. The game's producer Tomohiko Hirano and director Tatsuya Kando are supervising.
In the game, Neku Sakuraba and his allies are forced to participate in a game that will determine their fate. The battle system uses many of the unique features of the Nintendo DS, including combat that takes place on both screens, and attacks performed by certain motions on the touchscreen or by shouting into the microphone. Elements of Japanese youth culture, such as fashion, food, and cell phones, are key aspects of the missions.
