Fanworks has two confirmed roles on Yusanchi! from Yu-hachi, an omnibus short anime adapting three manga by Yu-hachi. The studio animates the project, which was announced in August by Fuji TV and given an October 5 premiere date in September. The show adapts Dekai Hachi, Miseban no Spis, and Ah, Tanuki wa Mo Dame Desu, three Yu-hachi manga originally published on the web.

The release plan separates this from a standard late-night anime run. Yusanchi! from Yu-hachi airs inside Fuji TV's Nonstop! on Mondays and Fridays at 11:00 a.m., and inside Kansai TV's Shunkan Live Toretate! on Mondays and Fridays at 3:30 p.m. Episodes stream on FOD, TVer, and Fuji TV's anime YouTube channel after each broadcast. The series depends on viewers already watching those daytime programs rather than on a dedicated anime timeslot.

Rarecho and Gaku Kinoshita split directorial duties. The main cast is Chiaki, Hina Kawata, Fuka Izumi, Ryota Suzuki, Kenta Sasa, and Tomo Miyazawa. Fanworks' involvement is confirmed for the animation, and the premiere date, broadcast partners, and streaming outlets are settled. No further production details have been announced.
