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.
