First Teaser Trailer Unveiled Featuring Nearly 4 Minutes of Dynamic Action and Music; Animation Produced by CyberAgent Group’s New Studio “CA Soa”
TOKYO, June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CyberAgent, Inc. today announced that The Bugle Call: Song of War (written by Sora Mozuku and illustrated by Higoro Tomori), a popular manga serialized in Shueisha’s Jump SQ., will be adapted into a TV anime scheduled to begin broadcasting and streaming in 2027.
Animation production for the series will be handled by “CA Soa,” a newly established animation studio within the CyberAgent Group headed by representative and anime producer Masakazu Ogawa. The distinguished staff includes Shinya Watada as Director, Michihiro Tsuchiya handling Series Composition, and Michinori Chiba as Character Designer. CG production for the action and combat sequences will be led by Shirogumi, the acclaimed visual effects studio. This project marks the inaugural title produced by CA Soa.
The Bugle Call: Song of War follows Luca, a young boy dreaming of becoming a “musician,” whose special power “sprouts” amidst a harsh destiny. The narrative depicts his growth through meaningful encounters with new companions. Luca’s unique ability to “see sound” and his strong aspiration to become a musician blend seamlessly with intense battles. With “sound” serving as a central theme, Hitomi Koto (composer for Kyoto Animation’s Sparks of Tomorrow) will oversee the music. The background score heavily incorporates live instruments, delivering a dramatic musical performance that heightens both the emotional depth of the characters and the dynamic combat scenes.
Alongside the TV anime announcement, a teaser visual and an extensive teaser trailer spanning nearly 4 minutes were unveiled, allowing audiences to experience the captivating worldview, the intensity of the battles, and the meticulously crafted music.
