CyberAgent Announces New Original Anime “Project M”

At Anime Expo 2025 in Los Angeles, Japanese tech and media conglomerate CyberAgent unveiled its newest original anime initiative, titled Project M. The announcement marks a bold new step in CyberAgent’s expansion into anime production, following the company’s earlier push into original IP development.

A teaser visual was revealed at the event, featuring a close-up of a mysterious character’s eye reflecting the image of a butterfly—an intriguing image that immediately sparked speculation among fans. Though plot details and staff information remain under wraps, CyberAgent confirmed that further updates on Project M will be released over time via official social media platforms and the project’s website.
