On January 8, 2020, Kodansha announced that the manga To Your Eternity would receive an anime television series adaptation to air on NHK Educational TV.[1] The 20-episode series is animated by Brain's Base and directed by Masahiko Murata, with Shinzō Fujita handling series composition, and Koji Yabuno designing the characters, and Ryo Kawasaki composing the series' music. The plot follows an immortal creature, Fushi, who wanders the Earth after interacting with humans and developing his own consciousness in the process.

Originally scheduled to premiere in October 2020,[2] the series was delayed to April 12, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[3] and will run for 20 episodes.[4] Crunchyroll has licensed the anime for streaming outside of Asia.[5] Medialink has also acquired the series to stream under its Ani-One branding.[6]

Utada Hikaru performed the series' opening theme song "PINK BLOOD", while Masashi Hamauzu composes the ending theme song, "Mediator".[7][8]
