A weekly 21:55 slot on a single local station is a modest launch, and the reveal leans on three credited voices and a teaser rather than a studio or a wider broadcast list.

The television anime Haru to Gen: 70-Sai, Hajimete no Kosodate will begin airing on tvk on Monday, January 4, 2027, every Monday at 21:55. A teaser PV is out, and three main cast members are set: Satoshi Shimada as the 70-year-old grandfather Gen, Hiromi Igarashi as his 3-year-old granddaughter Haru, and Mayuko Kazama as Gen's late daughter Sakura. The series adapts Yuka Oshima's manga on KADOKAWA's vertical-scrolling comic service.
Gen, the protagonist, is a 70-year-old who spent his life on work and lost his wife and daughter along the way. He takes in Haru, his 3-year-old granddaughter and the memento of his late daughter, and the series follows the two of them as he relearns what family means. Haru's mother Sakura, voiced by Mayuko Kazama, is described as gentle and cheerful but dead young from illness. Satoshi Shimada plays Gen and Hiromi Igarashi plays Haru; Igarashi said she found both cuteness and sadness in Haru's refusal to cry. The teaser PV is on the official YouTube channel.
