Good Smile Company’s original mecha anime Jyu-Oh Mujin Dandivine (Beast King War God Dandivine) got its main PV at Aniplex One Focus on September 12, 2026 — the first look at the full combination sequence that forms the title mecha, ahead of its October 7 Japanese premiere.

CONFIRMED

  • Official main PV titled 「メインPV」TVアニメ『獣王武神ダンディヴァイン』, uploaded by GOOD SMILE CHANNEL (Good Smile Company’s official YouTube channel)
  • Japan TV premiere: October 7, 2026, airing Wednesdays 24:30 JST on TOKYO MX, BS11, Gunma TV and Tochigi TV, with simultaneous streaming on dアニメストア
  • Opening theme: “Zankyō ≠ Blaster” performed by Takanori Nishikawa
  • Ending theme: “Mikansei Ordinary” performed by DayRe:
  • Director: Yi Cao; series composition/scripts by Toshiki Inoue; animation by LIDEN FILMS and Kayac Animation; mechanical design by An (GOD BRAVE STUDIO)
  • Dandivine is confirmed as the first project in Good Smile Company’s Gattaishin (“God of Combined”) Series
  • Confirmed main cast: Takuma Terashima as protagonist Gekiha Shijima; Haruka Shiraishi as Akane Kuzumi; Katsuyuki Konishi as Yusaku Kuroiwa, Dandivine’s former main pilot; Atsushi Ono as Genjuro Shijima, president of the Kasuga toy company and a Shijima family relation to Gekiha; and Nao Toyama, Aya Yamane and Misaki Kuno as Haru, Natsu and Aki, described in coverage of the reveal as three mysterious sisters
  • Confirmed setting: the story takes place 20 years after Dandivine originally defeated an enemy force called the Aposdoll; the toy manufacturer Kasuga, which built its business on Dandivine merchandise, has since fallen into decline — and the Aposdoll have now returned
  • International streaming has not been announced. Nothing beyond the confirmed Japanese TV/dアニメストア simulcast should be assumed.

What the Trailer Visibly Shows

The main PV gives the clearest look yet at Dandivine’s combination sequence — multiple mecha components assembling into the finished golden-and-red war god shown towering over the cast in the official key visual. Beyond the combination itself, the trailer features additional battle footage against Aposdoll enemies and more screen time for Haru, Natsu and Aki, the three sisters introduced as a mysterious element separate from the core Kasuga/Shijima cast. The footage also leans into the anime’s unusual hook: Dandivine’s TV-fictional existence as a toy franchise within its own story, visualized through Shibuya-style billboards advertising Dandivine merchandise in the official cityscape key visual.

It’s worth being precise about what that footage does and doesn’t establish. Seeing Haru, Natsu, and Aki featured more prominently in this PV doesn’t confirm their full narrative role, where they come from, or how they relate to the Aposdoll threat — none of that has been spelled out in official synopsis material. Any specific relationship dynamics or romantic material some viewers may read into the trailer’s editing should be treated as interpretation, not confirmed plot.

The Gattaishin Series and Why That Matters

Dandivine isn’t a standalone project — it’s confirmed as the first entry in Good Smile Company’s new Gattaishin Series, an initiative built around original combining-robot concepts. That positions this anime as a launch title for a planned line rather than a one-off, though Good Smile hasn’t detailed what else the Gattaishin Series will eventually include.

The Toy-Company Premise

The confirmed setup is genuinely unusual for the genre: Kasuga, the company that built its fortunes on merchandising the original Dandivine’s victory 20 years ago, has fallen on hard times as that history faded from public memory — and its president, Genjuro Shijima, shares Gekiha’s family name. That framing, combined with uncle-figure Yusaku Kuroiwa’s role as the mecha’s former pilot, suggests Gekiha’s connection to Dandivine runs through family rather than coincidence, though the exact nature of those relationships beyond what’s stated above hasn’t been detailed further.

Opening Theme and Premiere Status

Takanori Nishikawa’s opening theme title was confirmed in this reveal as “Zankyō ≠ Blaster,” paired with DayRe:’s ending theme “Mikansei Ordinary.” Both are now locked in alongside the confirmed October 7 premiere slot across four Japanese TV stations and dアニメストア’s simultaneous stream.

What Remains Unannounced

No international streaming platform, dub plans, or overseas release window have been confirmed for Dandivine as of this trailer. Episode count hasn’t been announced either. Treat the show as Japan-only for now, and don’t assume any footage in this PV represents episode 1 specifically — Good Smile Company’s own materials don’t break the trailer down by episode.

Bottom Line

This main PV is Dandivine’s most substantial look yet: the full combination sequence, expanded screen time for the Haru/Natsu/Aki mystery, the confirmed opening and ending themes, and reconfirmation of the Kasuga toy-company premise ahead of the October 7 debut. What it isn’t is a plot summary — treat the sisters’ purpose, any romantic subtext, and the Aposdoll’s return as open questions the show itself hasn’t answered yet.
