J.C.Staff is attached to direct two television anime adaptations announced in 2026: Tempal ~Item no Chikara~, set for October 2026, and Nabe ni Dangan wo Ukenagara, planned for 2027. Both projects are early-stage announcements with teaser visuals.
J.C.Staff's current slate rests on two adaptation announcements made within a month of each other in 2026. On June 3, REDICE Studio announced that the Overgeared webtoon will be adapted as a television anime titled Tempal ~Item no Chikara~, premiering in October 2026. Ayako Kono directs at J.C.Staff, with EGG FIRM producing, Kenta Ihara on series composition, Ryosuke Tanigawa on character design, Yoshiaki Fujisawa composing music, and Yoshikazu Iwanami as sound director. Tatsumaru Tachibana voices Grid and Asami Seto voices Yura. Yen Press publishes the webtoon in English under its Ize Press label.
Three weeks later, on June 25, the manga Nabe ni Dangan wo Ukenagara was announced for a television anime adaptation by J.C.Staff, planned for 2027. The announcement came via the manga's official X account with a teaser visual. Juntaro Aoki writes and Shin Moriyama illustrates the manga, which began serialization on Kadokawa's Comic Newtype web magazine in 2021; Kadokawa has published five compiled volumes as of October 2024. The protagonist, Juntaro, perceives all humans as beautiful girls due to excessive exposure to 2D media and travels to dangerous locations to sample unusual local dishes. Aoki commented on the adaptation and said he anticipates overseas reactions.
The two projects sit at different stages. Tempal has a premiere window, main staff, and cast attached. Nabe ni Dangan wo Ukenagara has a planned 2027 debut, an announced studio, and an author comment. Neither story reports production timelines beyond those windows.
