Yokohama Animation Lab is an animation studio attached to two upcoming television anime projects: the Fungus and Iron adaptation, directed by Keitaro Motonaga, and the Arcanadea TV anime, directed by Keiichirō Kawaguchi, set for a January 2027 debut.
Yokohama Animation Lab is the studio behind two announced television anime projects, both of which have revealed their directors in recent announcements. The studio is directing the Fungus and Iron anime, an adaptation of Ayaka Katayama's manga, with Keitaro Motonaga at the helm. The announcement came with a second teaser visual, and the source manga is concluding its serialization on September 9, with its 10th and final volume scheduled for October 8.
The studio is also directing the Arcanadea television anime, based on Kotobukiya's plastic model franchise, which has shipped over 500,000 figures. The series is set to debut in January 2027, airing on TV Asahi and 24 stations across Japan in the NUMAnimation block, plus BS Asahi. Keiichirō Kawaguchi directs, with Atsuhiro Tomioka overseeing scripts.
These two projects establish Yokohama Animation Lab as the production studio for a pair of adaptations with different source material, one concluding its manga and the other expanding a model kit line into a full television series. No further details about the studio's other work or its history appear in these stories.
