New Ahare! Meisaku-kun Episodes Set for January 2027
A long-running short-form franchise built on crowdfunding and re-runs keeps its next batch of episodes on a concrete date rather than an open-ended promise.

The staff for the new Ahare! Meisaku-kun television anime announced Tuesday that more episodes will arrive in January 2027. Previous episodes will re-air until then. The most recent season of five-minute shorts premiered on July 5, with director Taketo Shinkai, character designer Jun Oson, and the studio Pie in the sky returning.
The announcement came from the anime's staff, with no new production partners named. The returning team stays intact: director Taketo Shinkai, character designer Jun Oson, and the animation studio Pie in the sky. The series airs in five-minute shorts, and the franchise's history includes a Makuake crowdfunding campaign that met its goal on the day it launched and eventually raised 19,938,500 yen by the time it ended in June of that year. The season funded through that campaign premiered in August 2022.
