Yusanchi! From Yu-hachi Sets October 5 Debut With Chiaki And Hina Kawata
The show is built to ride inside two existing daytime programs rather than a late-night slot, so its reach depends on Fuji TV and Kansai TV viewers who are already watching, with FOD, TVer, and YouTube carrying it afterward.

Fanworks announced on Friday that Yusanchi! from Yu-hachi, an omnibus short anime adapting three Yu-hachi manga, will debut on October 5. It airs within Fuji TV's Nonstop! on Mondays and Fridays at 11:00 a.m., and within Kansai TV's Shunkan Live Toretate! on Mondays and Fridays at 3:30 p.m., with streaming on FOD, TVer, and Fuji TV's anime YouTube channel after each episode airs. The main cast is Chiaki, Hina Kawata, Fuka Izumi, Ryota Suzuki, Kenta Sasa, and Tomo Miyazawa.
The three segments come from separate Yu-hachi manga. Dekai Hachi follows a 40cm tall creature through daily life alongside humans, Miseban no Spis follows a mysterious fish that appears one day, and Ah, Tanuki wa Mo Dame Desu follows a tanuki rented by various people.
Rarecho, who directed Aggretsuko, directs and writes the Miseban no Spis and Ah, Tanuki wa Mo Dame Desu segments. Gaku Kinoshita, who directed Sumikko Gurashi: Koko ga Ochitsukun Desu, handles the Dekai Hachi segments. Fanworks animates the series.
