Studio Massket has two television anime in its production pipeline: Ankama's original series Aoki Densho Welsh & Shedar, premiering October 2 on Tokyo MX, and the adaptation of Kaede Nishikigi's Reincarnation in the Game World Dan-Katsu, set for January 2027.
Studio Massket's current slate is known from two productions. The first, Aoki Densho Welsh & Shedar, is an original television anime produced by France's Ankama, which opened a website for the show ahead of an October 2 premiere on Tokyo MX at 9:25 p.m. JST. Naoki Horiuchi directs at Studio Massket. Rikuya Yasuda voices Welsh, a 16-year-old from Broccoli village, and Yuki Kaji voices Shedar, the 16-year-old prince of Bonta.
The second is the television anime adaptation of Kaede Nishikigi's light novel series Reincarnation in the Game World Dan-Katsu, which the anime's official website announced with a January 2027 premiere date. Nagisa Miyazaki directs at STUDIO MASSKET, with Yuji Kobayashi handling series composition and scripts. Yuto Uemura voices the protagonist Zephyrus. The announcement also included a teaser visual and promotional video.
The two projects differ in origin. Aoki Densho Welsh & Shedar is an original work, while Reincarnation in the Game World Dan-Katsu adapts a series that began on Kakuyomu in January 2021 and is published by TO Books with illustrations by Shuri since March 2022. The 16th novel volume ships on August 15, and a manga adaptation by Hiroshi Asagi has run on TO Books' Corona EX website since April 2022.

The television anime adaptation of Kaede Nishikigi's light novel series Reincarnation in the Game World Dan-Katsu has revealed its main cast, staff, teaser visual, and promotional video, along with a January 2027 premiere date. The announcement came via the anime's official website on Monday.
