A Sequel That Builds on a Global Hit
The original Time Agent -LINK CLICK- first streamed on bilibili in April 2021 and quickly became a phenomenon.

The announcement of Eito Chapter as a Japanese dubbed broadcast further underscores the growing presence of Chinese animation (donghua) in Japan’s anime market.
New Japanese Voice Cast Members Announced
One of the biggest highlights of the announcement is the addition of three major Japanese voice actors, each bringing their own star power and experience to the series:

- Yuma Uchida as Vein
- Miyuki Sawashiro as Wang Qing
Their casting has generated excitement among fans, especially those familiar with their previous anime roles.
Cast Comments
Junya Enoki shared that he approached Xia Fei with the goal of expressing a character who appears cheerful and kind on the surface, yet seems to carry emotional burdens beneath that brightness. He encouraged viewers to pay attention to how the story’s many threads intersect and influence one another.
Yuma Uchida described Vein as calm, mysterious, and difficult to read. He noted that even among a cast full of distinctive personalities, Vein stands out as particularly unique, and hinted that his actions will play an important role in the unfolding story.
Miyuki Sawashiro teased the complexity of Wang Qing, suggesting that first impressions may be misleading. With a playful warning, she added that revealing too much would spoil key twists, encouraging viewers to experience the story firsthand.
Main Visual and Promotional Video Unveiled
Alongside the cast reveal, the main visual and main promotional video (PV) for Eito Chapter were also released. The visuals prominently feature the core duo:
- Cheng Xiaoshi (Toki)
- Lu Guang (Hikaru)
The imagery emphasizes the series’ darker tone and emotional intensity, signaling a shift toward more complex conflicts and higher stakes. The PV offers glimpses of tense confrontations, new characters, and moments that suggest the consequences of time manipulation will be more severe than ever before.
What Is Time Agent -LINK CLICK-? (Beginner-Friendly Overview)
For viewers new to the franchise, Time Agent -LINK CLICK- is a suspense-driven supernatural drama centered around two young men who run a small business called the Time Photo Studio in a bustling city.

- Lu Guang (Hikaru) can observe everything that happens inside those photographs for a limited period of time.
By combining their abilities, they take on requests from clients who are haunted by unresolved regrets. However, their work is governed by one absolute rule:
they must never change the past.
