The TV anime 'Twenty Seiki Denki Mokuroku – Eureka Evrika' (in English 'Sparks of Tomorrow') has released its first story visual. The image, compiled from preview scenes, depicts the main characters Kihachi Sakamoto and Inako Momokawa in an American comic style with vibrant colors and humorous facial expressions.
At the same time, it was announced that the fourth episode, airing on July 26, will feature two guest voice actors: Sakiko Tamagawa (known from 'Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex' and 'Detective Conan') will voice Chiyo Ibata, the owner of the long-established Nishijin textile company Nishikiya; Yu Miyazaki (known from 'A Sign of Affection' and 'Free! – Dive to the Future') will take on the role of her son Akira Ibata, the young master of the house.
Both voice actors expressed their enthusiasm: Tamagawa praised the lovingly crafted direction and the delivered images that perfectly capture the era's atmosphere and emotional depth. Miyazaki highlighted that the challenges of the role were different from expected, emphasizing the series' unique, simultaneously historical and fresh atmosphere.
The fourth episode is titled 'Shinjin no Musume' (Daughter of Faith) and shows Kihachi and his friends developing a new invention to solve a problem at Nishikiya. The anime is based on the light novel by Hiro Yuki, which was published in 2018 under the KA-Esuma-Bunko imprint of Kyoto Animation. The series has been airing since July 5, 2026, on ABC TV, TOKYO MX, TV Aichi, and BS11, and is available worldwide exclusively on Netflix. The director is Minoru Ota, who previously served as instrument animation director for 'Sound! Euphonium 3'.
