Yukari Anzai is an active voice actor with two announced anime roles in 2026: Epica in the original dark fantasy series Maiden Blood (2027) and a cast member in Multi-Mind Mayhem (January 2027).
Yukari Anzai appears in two upcoming anime projects announced in August 2026. In Maiden Blood, an original dark fantasy series, she voices Epica, the younger sister whose soul was stolen. The series is created by director Seiji Kishi, scriptwriter Makoto Uezu, and Pony Canyon, with Polygon Pictures handling animation. Epica is described as the strongest blood warrior, and the story centers on her elder sister Eva, voiced by Iori Saeki, who must awaken Epica's power. The anime is set for 2027, with international release details pending.
Days earlier, Anzai was confirmed in the cast of Multi-Mind Mayhem, an isekai light novel adaptation directed by Hiroaki Sakurai at Studio DEEN. That series premieres in January 2027. Anzai joins Yusuke Kobayashi as the lead Bard, alongside Takashi Matsuyama, Satoshi Inomata, Ayasa Ito, and Sumire Morohoshi. The two roles place Anzai in both an original production and a light novel adaptation, both debuting in 2027.

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.
