Atsumi Tanezaki is currently active in multiple anime roles, including voicing Seia in the Blue Archive ASMR series and Gali in the upcoming The Cat and the Dragon anime, and she participated in the opening ceremony for the Frieren attraction at Universal Studios Japan.
Atsumi Tanezaki voiced Seia in the 10th volume of the Blue Archive ASMR series, titled "Sun, Moon, Words, and You (Seia ASMR)," which Yostar released on July 27, 2026.

In May 2026, Tanezaki attended the opening ceremony for the limited-time Frieren attraction at Universal Studios Japan, titled "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Story Walk ~Journey of Memories~." She voiced Frieren in the anime and spoke at the event alongside Nobuhiko Okamoto, who voiced Himmel. Tanezaki said the walkthrough attraction made her feel like she was in the same space as the characters and that she almost cried during scenes revisiting Frieren's journey. The attraction opened to the public on May 30 and runs through January 11, 2027.
Tanezaki was also cast as Gali in the television adaptation of the light novel series The Cat and the Dragon, announced on May 14, 2026. The series is scheduled to premiere in July 2026, with Studio OLM handling animation production. The light novels have sold over one million copies across nine volumes.
