100th Anniversary of A-1 Pictures Anime!


Animation studio A-1 Pictures (Accel World, Black Butler, Fairy Tail, SAO, and FMA) is producing a special anime, Toki wa Meguru ~ TOKYO STATION (Time Flows ~ Tokyo Station), to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Tokyo Station City train station. 

Tokyo Station
Background Information: Served by Shinkansen high-speed rail lines, Tokyo Station is the main intercity rail terminal in Tokyo. It is the busiest station in Japan in terms of number of trains per day (over 3,000), and the fifth-busiest in Eastern Japan in terms of passenger throughput. It is also served by many regional commuter lines of Japan Railways, as well as the Tokyo Metro network.

Toki wa Meguru (Time Flows) by Yū Sakai is th theme song featured in this 30 second promotional video for the anime set to premiere in spring of 2014.

Dialogue in the video (Thanks to ANN.com!):
"Dad... It would have been great if we had talked more, huh? Mom said it, you know. "Your dad was the god that protects the times of Tokyo Station." I wonder... Does that mean that time has stopped since that day?"

Thanks to Anime News Network for the dialogue for the video which normally I can never find! Please don't sue me for using the translation without permission!!! xD
