PartsCraft will adapt Akira Kasugai&#8217;s <em>Odoru Sennen Kazoku<\/em> \u2014 known in English as <em>Millennium Family<\/em> \u2014 into a TV anime airing on TBS, with an announcement PV already out and a broadcast window still to come.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/odoru-sennen-kazoku-anime-characters.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Theo and the immortal siblings from the Millennium Family anime\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of \u8e0a\u308b\u5343\u5e74\u5bb6\u65cf Production Committee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Seven Siblings, One Thousand Years \u2014 The Millennium Family Anime Story<\/h2>\n<p>The premise lands hard: seven siblings born in England carry the ultimate gift \u2014 eternal life. Over centuries they drifted apart, living separate lives across different eras and corners of the world. Then they reunite in the modern day and move back in together as one very unusual household. The problem? Word has gotten out. Criminal syndicates, corrupt medical institutions, and international military organisations all want a piece of the family that cannot die, turning their reunion into something considerably noisier than planned.<\/p>\n<p>It is an action-comedy built around a sibling ensemble, and the immortality hook gives each character a completely different century to have shaped them. Kasugai has been running the manga in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shonengahosha.co.jp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Young King OURs<\/a> (published by Sh\u014dnen Gah\u014dsha) since March 2021. Eight volumes are currently in print, and the ninth arrives on 30 July \u2014 a well-timed milestone that lines up neatly with the anime announcement and gives newcomers a substantial run to read through before the first episode airs.<\/p>\n<h2>PartsCraft at the Helm \u2014 Production Team and Voice Cast<\/h2>\n<p>PartsCraft is handling animation production. Masato Jinbo takes on double duty as both director and series composition writer, keeping a single creative voice steering the adaptation throughout. Hiroshi Yoneda joins as character designer and chief animation director \u2014 his work on the key visual keeps the seven siblings visually distinct even in ensemble shots.<\/p>\n<p>One cast member has been confirmed: Rikuya Yasuda voices Theo, the main character placed front-and-centre in the key visual \u2014 blue eyes, a &#8216;FAMILY&#8217; hoodie, and the expression of someone who has outlived empires and still finds his siblings exhausting. The remaining cast has not yet been announced.<\/p>\n<h2>Watch the Announcement PV<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q63kCWDTwhY\" title=\"\u300e\u8e0a\u308b\u5343\u5e74\u5bb6\u65cf\u300fTV\u30a2\u30cb\u30e1\u5316\u6c7a\u5b9aPV\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>\u300e\u8e0a\u308b\u5343\u5e74\u5bb6\u65cf\u300fTV\u30a2\u30cb\u30e1\u5316\u6c7a\u5b9aPV \u2014 via TBS\u30a2\u30cb\u30e1 on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The teaser PV blends manga panels with newly animated cuts to introduce the sibling ensemble and the conflict at the story&#8217;s core. It is a brisk announcement video rather than a full trailer, but it establishes the tone clearly: punchy, colourful, and firmly leaning into the action-comedy half of the premise. The tagline \u2014 <em>Shichinin Shichishoku, Shinenai Kazoku<\/em> (\u4e03\u4eba\u4e03\u8272\u3001\u6b7b\u306d\u306a\u3044\u5bb6\u65cf, roughly &#8220;Seven people, seven colours, the family that cannot die&#8221;) \u2014 sums up the series energy well.<\/p>\n<h2>Streaming and Singapore Availability<\/h2>\n<p>The series is confirmed for TBS and affiliated stations in Japan, but no international streaming platform or premiere window has been announced. Given that the announcement received immediate coverage from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crunchyroll.com\/news\/latest\/2026\/7\/27\/millennium-family-anime-adaptation-announced-cast-staff-teaser-visual\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crunchyroll News<\/a> and major English-language anime outlets, international distribution looks likely \u2014 though Singapore fans will need to wait for a formal streaming announcement before adding it to their watchlists. An air date for Japan has also not been set.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/odoru-sennen-kazoku-young-king-ours-manga-scaled.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Odoru Sennen Kazoku serialised in Young King OURs manga magazine\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of \u8e0a\u308b\u5343\u5e74\u5bb6\u65cf Production Committee \/ Sh\u014dnen Gah\u014dsha<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you want to get ahead of the anime, the manga is the place to start.
