J.C.Staff has two television anime adaptations in production: Overgeared (premiering October 2026) and Nabe ni Dangan wo Ukenagara (planned for 2027). Both were announced in June 2026.
J.C.Staff is producing two upcoming television anime adaptations announced in June 2026. The first, Overgeared (titled Tempal ~Item no Chikara~), is a Korean webtoon adaptation set to premiere in October 2026. The production team includes director Ayako Kono, series composer Kenta Ihara, character designer Ryosuke Tanigawa, composer Yoshiaki Fujisawa, and sound director Yoshikazu Iwanami, with EGG FIRM producing. The cast features Tatsumaru Tachibana as Grid and Asami Seto as Yura.
The second project, Nabe ni Dangan wo Ukenagara (also known as Nabetama), is a manga adaptation planned for a 2027 debut. The series is written by Juntarō Aoki and illustrated by Shin Moriyama, and is described as a "non-fiction, chaos, hard gourmet report" following a protagonist who perceives all humans as beautiful girls due to excessive 2D media exposure, traveling to dangerous locations for unusual dishes. The announcement came on June 25, 2026, via the manga's official X account, alongside a teaser visual.
Both adaptations represent J.C.Staff's continued activity in adapting existing properties from different media-a Korean webtoon and a Japanese manga-with distinct genres and production timelines. The studio has not announced any other projects in these stories.
