Yukari Anzai is attached to three television anime announced or detailed in 2026: Promise Me the Spotlight, Maiden Blood, and Multi-Mind Mayhem. Her most recently detailed role is Hatsune Fukuba in Promise Me the Spotlight.
Yukari Anzai's 2026 announcements place her across three television anime with different production teams. The first came on August 7, when the adaptation of Ryosen Takami and Ririnra's Multi-Mind Mayhem: Isekai Tensei Soudouki light novels revealed its cast and set a January 2027 premiere. Hiroaki Sakurai directs at Studio DEEN, and Anzai is named among the cast alongside Yusuke Kobayashi, Takashi Matsuyama, Satoshi Inomata, Ayasa Ito, and Sumire Morohoshi.
Two weeks later, on August 21, Pony Canyon announced the original series Maiden Blood for a 2027 debut, with Seiji Kishi directing at Polygon Pictures and Makoto Uezu overseeing scripts. Anzai is cast as Epica, the younger sister whose soul is stolen, opposite Iori Saeki as Eva.
The most recent story, on November 4, filled out the production of Promise Me the Spotlight, the anime of Jun Wakatsuki's manga. Bandai Namco Filmworks revealed the teaser trailer, key visual, main cast, and main staff, and said the series airs on TV Tokyo and its six affiliate channels. Seiji Kishi directs at Team TillDawn, and Anzai plays Hatsune Fukuba alongside Haruna Mikawa, Taihi Kimura, and Mai Kanno.
What ties the three together is Kishi, who directs both Maiden Blood and Promise Me the Spotlight. The stories settle Anzai's roles in each series but give no dates beyond the 2027 window for Maiden Blood and the January 2027 premiere for Multi-Mind Mayhem. Promise Me the Spotlight has no premiere date in the announcement, only its broadcast channels.

Pony Canyon announced on Friday that a new original television anime series, Maiden Blood, will debut in 2027. The dark fantasy action series is created by director Seiji Kishi, scriptwriter Makoto Uezu, and Pony Canyon, with Polygon Pictures handling animation production. Kishi directs the anime, and Uezu oversees series scripts. The original character designs are by illustrator LAM, known for Witch and Hound and takt op. Destiny. The main voice cast includes Iori Saeki as Eva and Yukari Anzai as Epica. The story is set in a world where the end-of-days war between good and evil was overturned, and eight billion humans were sacrificed to an Evil God. In this world, human blood is currency, fuel, and a weapon. Mages devised a forbidden ritual that transforms a girl's blood into a blade capable of destroying demons. The younger sister, Epica, is the strongest blood warrior, but her soul was stolen. The elder sister, Eva, cannot walk, yet only her blood can awaken Epica's power. Composers Keiichi Okabe, Kuniyuki Takahashi, and Taichi Jōraku provide the music. Pony Canyon produces the music with cooperation from MONACA. International release details will be announced later.
