What Was Announced

On August 10, 2026, Futabasha announced that Red Riding Hood, I Found a Corpse on the Way will receive a TV anime adaptation in 2027. The announcement appeared on PR TIMES and is reflected on the official anime website, which presents the project as a 2027 TV anime.

The original story follows Red Riding Hood as she travels through fairy-tale settings and solves incidents with observation and deduction. Futabasha says the series has surpassed 600,000 copies in circulation, and the property has also reached audiences through a Netflix live-action film.

The release also links a teaser PV and the official site, but it does not yet include a broadcast month, cast list, or staff lineup.

Why It Matters

The hook is easy to understand even before you know the source material: a familiar fairy-tale character placed inside a mystery framework. That makes the project stand out from the usual action-first anime announcements and gives it a clear pitch for viewers who like detective stories, dark fairy-tale retellings, or genre hybrids.

It also fits a broader pattern in anime publishing, where a strong one-sentence concept can carry a project quickly across print, streaming, and video promotion. Here, the premise is unusual enough to be memorable while still being simple enough to explain to new viewers.

Context for International Fans

The Japanese title is more literal than the English translation might suggest. The point is not that this is a children's tale with a horror twist; it is a mystery story using fairy-tale imagery as its stage. If the concept reads more like a fantasy whodunit than a storybook adaptation, that is exactly the right reading.

The Netflix live-action film mentioned in the release matters as background rather than as a direct comparison. It shows the property already has some recognition beyond the books, which should make the anime easier to explain to overseas audiences who follow Japanese genre adaptations.

What Happens Next

No staff, cast, or detailed broadcast window beyond 2027 has been announced yet in the materials I checked. The official site and teaser PV are already live, so the next updates will likely be the usual sequence of staff, cast, and visual reveals.

Image
On June 20, 2026, the official Rilakkuma anime website and a San-X press release introduced a new key visual and a second promotional video for the series. The update also gave the project its latest story title, Tekuteku Sekai Ryokou , while keeping the show in its current TV and streaming rollout. What Was Announced The announcement is straightforward but important: Rilakkuma now has a second PV and a new key visual tied to the Tekuteku Sekai Ryokou story line. The release frames this chapter as a gentle travel-themed continuation of the anime rather than a hard reset, which fits the character brand well.

Magical Sisters Lulutto Lily Confirms a Second Cour for October

Image
On June 21, 2026, the official site for Magical Sisters Lulutto Lily confirmed that the anime’s second cour will begin in October 2026. The same day, the site also introduced a new character, Asahi, voiced by Kyori Nemoto. A follow-up report on V-STORAGE repeated the announcement and added context about where the series sits inside Pierrot’s long-running magical-girl tradition. What Was Announced The official news page says Episode 12, “Song...” closed the first cour on June 21 and that the second cour is scheduled for October 2026.

The companion character announcement introduces Asahi, an idol fan who joins the cast after following Lulutto Lily’s live performance and audition path. It is a small update on paper, but it gives the next p...

On June 19, 2026, Bandai Namco Experience announced that the Blue Lock chibigurumi tied to the Namjatown collaboration will return as a limited prize line on June 26, 2026. The release is not a brand-new design drop. Instead, it brings back the cat-ear Chinese-style outfit art that was created for the Ikebukuro Namjatown event held from April to June 2025, and it makes that visual set available again through Namco locations and the official online crane route. What Was Announced The lineup is straightforward: five characters, each in the special collaboration outfit. The announced set includes Yoichi Isagi, Seishiro Nagi, Reo Mikage, Rin Itoshi, and Yo Hiori. According to the press release, the figures are about 11 cm tall. The company also notes that Blue Lock had passed 60 million copies worldwide as of June 2026, which explains why even a small-format prize revival can still attract attention. The key practical detail for collectors is that the item is framed as a prize releas...
