A manga adaptation, illustrated by Torimura and told from Akira's perspective, is set to begin serialization on Kadokawa Shoten's KadoComi manga website on March 25, 2024.

The original anime television series was announced on Railway Day on October 14, 2022, which celebrates the 150th anniversary of Japan's first railway.

The trailer reveals more visuals from the series and a lot of new dialogue, but we still don’t have a proper idea of what kind of post-apocalyptic adventure this series is going to take us.

The new song, “Eureka,” marks the first anime tie-up for Rokudenashi, and it was composed by Vocaloid producer Tota Kasamura. It will be released on digital services on April 2, immediately after the broadcast of the first episode of the anime. You can read a comment from the vocalist Ninzin of Rokudenashi:

The new song, Eureka, marks the first anime tie-up for Rokudenashi, and it was composed by Vocaloid producer Tota Kasamura. It will be released on digital services on April 2, immediately after the broadcast of the first episode of the anime. Vocalist Ninzin of Rokudenashi said,

"For Eureka, the ending theme song of Train to the End of the World, I collaborated with Vocaloid Producer Tota Kasamura. It is our first anime tie-up as Rokudenashi, and as someone who watches anime myself, I feel honored to be entrusted with this task. When singing, I imagined how the song would flow as the ending of the anime. Particularly in the chorus, there are many parts where I had to project my voice, so I could sing freely. We hope this song resonates with everyone’s hearts."
