New character videos have been released for the TV anime "Tetsuryo! meet with Tetsudou Musume". At the same time, the broadcast date has been confirmed: The series will air starting October 8, 2026, on Thursdays at 24:00 JST on TOKYO MX and BS Fuji – in the Japanese TV format, that is practically Friday night.
The clips were shown on August 24 during the YouTube livestream "Tetsuryo Club Activity Report – Station 2", which featured voice actresses Tachibana Mei (Sata Misaki), Shōji Mao (Orihara Kodama), and Fukushima Haruna (Yagami Ushio). Character videos for Misaki, Kodama, Ushio, Usa, and Nakano Yayoi are now available.
The production is an original anime series based on the character franchise "Tetsudou Musume" ("Railway Girls") by Tomytec, which celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2026. The story centers on four railway-enthusiast female students of the Railway Travel Club, or "Tetsuryo Club" for short: Sata Misaki, Orihara Kodama, Yagami Ushio, and Harutachi Usa. They travel through a world where the "Tetsudou Musume" work at stations, on trains, and at railway operations, all while searching for their own personal "Tokimeki," that palpable excitement for something. The story is told from Misaki's perspective, who is still undecided about which path to take at the start of her studies, and through the club, she discovers the fascination of train travel.
The release of the character videos is the latest step in a longer announcement campaign. The main cast had already been announced at the end of November 2025. At AnimeJapan 2026 in late March, the fall 2026 start, the first key visual, the first trailer, and the additional roles of Izumi Kazuka as Nakano Yayoi and Anzai Yukari as Nishinoura Arisa were confirmed. On July 13, the club's first "Activity Report" livestream announced the October date and also presented the second key visual, showing the four main characters in a train car, as well as the second trailer. This trailer also featured the ending song "Watashi Mirai-sen" for the first time, sung by the four main actresses as "Tetsuryo Club". On the production side, in addition to Tomytec, the Japanese entertainment company Pony Canyon and the animation studio East Fish Studio are involved.
Shortly before the broadcast start, a live event will also take place: On September 20, the venue LOFT9 Shibuya in Tokyo will host "Tetsuryo Club Activity Report – Just Before Broadcast SP". Doors open at 12:30 PM, and the event starts at 1:30 PM. On stage will be Shōji Mao, Fukushima Haruna, and Anzai Yukari. Tickets will be sold starting August 25 at 8:00 PM via LivePocket on a first-come, first-served basis; the advance ticket costs 3000 yen, while 3500 yen will be charged at the door.
The series is led by notable creatives: Direction is by Hoshino Misuzu, screenplay and series composition by Satsuki Aya, character design by Hashimoto Naonori, and music by Takaoka Sonosuke. Morita Kisetsu is involved as an original work collaborator. The extensive voice cast includes, in addition to the four main actresses, Nakajima Yuki, Seto Asami, Ohashi Ayaka, and Ichinose Kana.
