Synthesized from 7 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 21

TMS Entertainment has four active fronts in the stories published this year. The most recent is a pair of Detective Conan items: the English dub of The Million-dollar Pentagram premiered at Anime NYC 2026, the first Conan film dubbed by Studio Nano, with Texas-based actors including Molly Zhang as Conan and Mauricio Ortiz-Segura as Kid the Phantom Thief, alongside returning cast from the original Funimation Case Closed dub. A separate merchandise line, Blue Butterfly Forest, drawn from new illustrations, releases November 7, 2026, through YTE, with reservations opening September 16.

The studio also confirmed the second season of Aoashi, which moves to TMS after Production I.G animated the first season in 2022. Kazuki Yokoyama takes over directing from Akira Sato, with Asami Taguchi and Junko Yamanaka joining returning character designer Manabu Nakatake, while previous designers Asuka Yamaguchi, Saki Hasegawa, and Toshie Kawamura are no longer credited. The season premieres October 4 on NHK Educational, with 10-FEET on the opening theme and Ai Higuchi on the ending. The first cour covers 12 of 24 planned episodes.

Dr. Stone concluded on June 25, 2026, with the final episode of its fourth season, Dr. Stone SCIENCE FUTURE. The adaptation ran seven years from July 2019 and totaled 95 episodes. A commemorative exhibition opens in Tokyo in December. The Baki-Dou: The Invincible Samurai part 2, directed by Toshiki Hirano at TMS, streamed its final 12 episodes on Netflix worldwide on June 18, 2026.
