Anticipation is building for the anime adaptation of Tomytec's popular character franchise "Tetsudo Musume" (Railway Girls): As announced on July 13, 2026, during a livestream on the Pony Canyon YouTube channel, the series "Tetsuryo! meet with Tetsudo Musume" will premiere in October 2026. The livestream "Tetsuryo-kai Activity Report – Station 1" featured the four main voice actresses Mei Tachibana (Misaki Sata), Mao Shoji (Kodama Orihara), Haruna Fukushima (Ushio Yagami), and Hika Tsukishiro (Usa Harutachi), along with Yukari Anzai (Arisa Nishiura). They reflected on the railway travel club's activities so far and presented a range of new information.
At the heart of the reveals was the second key visual, this time showing the four protagonists inside a train car – a new perspective that emphasizes the cozy atmosphere of the series. Additionally, the second promotional video (PV) was released, further illustrating the story: The protagonist Misaki Sata meets the members of the "Tetsuryo-kai" and travels with them through various regions of Japan. Along the way, they encounter scenic beauties and different people, gradually discovering what they truly want to do. The PV also offers glimpses into the world of the "Tetsudo Musume," who work as railway employees in the series.
The ending theme was announced as the song "Watashi Mirai-sen" (My Future Line), performed by the "Tetsuryo-kai" – consisting of the four main voice actresses. A snippet of the song can already be heard in the second PV. Furthermore, the official character visuals of the "Tetsudo Musume" appearing in the anime were released, including Arisa Nishiura. In total, the series features 23 of these characters, voiced by a high-caliber ensemble of voice actresses – including Yuki Nakajima, Asami Seto, Hana Hishikawa, Ayaka Ohashi, and many more. Additionally, there are six special guest appearances.
The production is handled by Studio Eastfish Studio under the direction of Misuzu Hoshino, who previously worked on series such as "Laid-Back Camp" and "Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!" The series composition and scripts are by Aya Satsuki ("Too Cute Crisis"), with character design by Naofumi Hashimoto ("Laid-Back Camp" Season 3). The music is composed by Sonosuke Takao. The "Tetsudo Musume" franchise celebrates its 20th anniversary this year – since its launch in 2005, over 114 different characters have been created, appearing in the uniforms of real Japanese railway companies. The anime is promoted as a feel-good travel story, in which four train-obsessed college students embark on a relaxed journey of discovery.
