White Fox Announces Anime Adaptation of
Enigmatic Pathways: Mystic Circuits Vol. 1
Tokyo, Japan — April 20, 2026
Celebrated anime studio White Fox — acclaimed for psychological masterpieces such as Re:Zero ? Starting Life in Another World and Steins;Gate — has officially announced the anime adaptation of Enigmatic Pathways: Mystic Circuits Vol. 1 (EPMC), the groundbreaking psychological fantasy web serial that has captured the imaginations of readers worldwide.
"The boundaries between mind, soul, and magic dissolve."
About the Story:
EPMC follows Orzic, a brilliant yet emotionally hollow scientist, who awakens in a world powered by living magic circuits. Stripped of his past life's technologies but burdened by its regrets, he must navigate an alien yet disturbingly familiar ecosystem where emotions shape power and identity fractures reality itself.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
As societies collapse under unseen pressures and ancient forces reawaken, Orzic faces a choice: adapt, vanish, or redefine existence itself.
Key Highlights of the Adaptation:
Director: Masaharu Watanabe (Re:Zero Season 1, Steins;Gate 0)
Series Composition: Masahiro Yokotani (Re:Zero, Hataraku Maousama!)
Character Design: Kyuta Sakai (Steins;Gate, Hinako Note)
Music: Kenichiro Suehiro (Re:Zero, Fire Force)
Format:
Season 1 — 24 episodes
Airdate: Fall 2026
Streaming: Crunchyroll, Netflix (Simulcast)
Special Features:
"Circuit Collapse" Visuals: Experimental animation techniques blending traditional 2D with photorealistic "living circuits" FX.
Mindscape Sequences: First anime ever to employ dynamic AIassisted surreal mindscape imagery, matching Orzic’s mental breakdowns.
Composer Collaboration: Live orchestral performances fused with synthetic "circuit resonance" tones.
Statement from White Fox:
"Enigmatic Pathways is a story about regret, resilience, and evolution. It's the natural successor to Re:Zero’s exploration of despair and hope — but taken to even more alien, introspective dimensions. We are honored to bring Orzic's journey to life."
— Masaharu Watanabe, Director

End of Announcement.
Want me to also write up a mock trailer script (the kind you'd hear with a slow, eerie soundtrack, almost nodialogue, just atmospheric buildup)?
Could be fun. Want me to?
