The short anime adaptation of Shaoh's manga I'm Dating a Dark Summoner! was first announced in May 2026 as a television premiere for that year, produced by WWWave Corporation's Deregula label. In June, the main cast and director Seiya Miyajima were revealed, along with an October debut. HIDIVE confirmed it would stream the series as part of its fall simulcast lineup. The fantasy romantic comedy follows Amona, a demi-human dark summoner, and Roni, a righteous cleric, whose adventuring party forms and leads to a chaotic relationship after a passionate first night.
Further staff details emerged in July, including sound director Fumihiko Ōtera and art director Yōichirō Yamamoto, with AtoriE as the animation studio. The series is a short-form anime, and Miyajima directs, oversees, and writes the scripts. The main cast includes Rei Takano as Amona, Yūki Nishiyama as Roni, and Hōden Tei Senmai as Imp. A character video spotlighting Imp was released in late July, with two more character videos expected in the following days.
The manga launched in Kadokawa's Dra Dra Sharp# online magazine in 2021 and has seven compiled volumes as of March 2026. The adaptation's move from a web short to a television broadcast expands its reach beyond the AnimeFesta programming block.
