Studio Massket has three television anime in its pipeline: Yumeneconnect, announced in 2026; Aoki Densho Welsh & Shedar, premiering October 2 on Tokyo MX; and Reincarnation in the Game World Dan-Katsu, set for a January 2027 premiere.
Studio Massket's three announced television projects come from three different kinds of source material and three different commissioning routes. The earliest announcement was for Reincarnation in the Game World Dan-Katsu, adapted from Kaede Nishikigi's light novel series, confirmed for a January 2027 premiere. Nagisa Miyazaki directs, with Yuji Kobayashi writing the series composition and scripts. The story follows a gamer who loses all his save data and dies of shock, then wakes up reincarnated in the game's unconquered world as a hero.
In September 2026, Ankama opened a website for Aoki Densho Welsh & Shedar, an original television anime premiering October 2 on Tokyo MX at 9:25 p.m. JST. Naoki Horiuchi directs at Studio Massket. Rikuya Yasuda voices Welsh, a 16-year-old from Broccoli village, and Yuki Kaji voices Shedar, the 16-year-old prince of Bonta.
The most recent announcement was Yumeneconnect, adapted from Kou Sawada's manga in Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine. Sota Yokote directs, Gigaemon Echikawa writes and supervises scripts, and Yoshihiro Watanabe designs characters. Yusuke Kobayashi voices Yuhi Takamiya and Yu Sasahara voices Nano. The manga centers on a sickly shut-in boy and an alien salesman from planet Pokotsun.

The television anime adaptation of Kaede Nishikigi's light novel series Reincarnation in the Game World Dan-Katsu has revealed its main cast, staff, teaser visual, and promotional video, along with a January 2027 premiere date. The announcement came via the anime's official website on Monday. Yuto Uemura, known for roles such as Thorfinn in Vinland Saga and Atsushi Nakajima in Bungo Stray Dogs, will voice the protagonist Zephyrus. Nagisa Miyazaki, whose credits include Negima! and Eternal Alice, is directing the series at STUDIO MASSKET, with Yuji Kobayashi handling series composition and scripts. The story follows a gamer who has spent over 8,000 hours playing the dungeon-crawl game Dungeon Shukatsu no Susume, only to lose all save data and die of shock. He wakes up reincarnated in the game's unconquered world, gaining the strongest job of hero and starting a new game in that world. Nishikigi launched the story on Kakuyomu in January 2021, and TO Books began publishing the novels with illustrations by Shuri in March 2022. The 16th novel volume ships on August 15, and a manga adaptation by Hiroshi Asagi has been running on TO Books' Corona EX website since April 2022.
