Yu Serizawa has three television anime roles confirmed for 2026 and 2027: Haneko in The Cat and the Dragon, Tida in A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even, and the lead role of Oriko Fujido in Giant Ojosama.
Yu Serizawa's three announced roles run across three separate productions. In The Cat and the Dragon she voices Haneko, a well-behaved cat who assists a prince struggling with magic. The series premieres on July 4 on Tokyo MX, directed by Jin-Koo Oh at OLM, with Mitsutaka Hirota handling series composition. In A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even, she voices Tida, a traveling nun who uses healing magic. That series premieres July 6 on AT-X, directed by Naoyuki Kuzuya at Studio Comet, also with series composition by Mitsutaka Hirota.
The two summer roles are supporting parts in adaptations of light novel series: Amara's The Cat and the Dragon, which has sold over 1.4 million copies across its light novel and manga editions, and Metabo Hagure's A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even, licensed in English by J-Novel Club. The Cat and the Dragon is directed by Jin-Koo Oh at OLM; A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even is directed by Naoyuki Kuzuya at Studio Comet. Both use Mitsutaka Hirota as series composition writer.
Giant Ojosama moves her to a lead. A teaser trailer with English subtitles confirmed her as Oriko Fujido, the giant heiress of the title, alongside Junya Enoki as Dr. Sebastian. The anime is set to premiere in January 2027, adapting Nikumura Q's manga.
