The series will be co-produced by Live2D Creative Studio and Drive.
A four-panel manga adaptation by Matsuri Muramatsu will also be published by Kodansha later this year.
Inherit the Winds was first announced at Aniplex Online Fest in September 2025. The anime is set during the third year of the Bunkyu era at a time of unrest in Japan. It follows an amnesiac called Tachikawa Jinsuke, whose recollection of his memories has large consequences.
