Zero-G is attached to four anime productions across the 2026 and 2027 seasons: the second season of The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World, Apprentice Nail Artist in a Foreign Land, and The Record of a Fallen Vampire, the last jointly with Liber. The studio also keeps a back-catalog link through Zero Gunner 2, one of the twelve Psikyo titles in Edia's Psikyo Memories collection.
Zero-G's television production slate runs from October 2026 to 2027. The nearest dated project is the second season of The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World, which returns in October 2026. Zero-G takes over animation production from Cloud Hearts, the studio behind the first season, and Mariko Kawamoto replaces Makoto Shimojima as character designer. Masahiro Takata returns as director, handles series composition and scripts, and continues as sound director, with Junya Enoki, Iori Saeki, and Akira Sekine back in the lead cast.
Further out, The Record of a Fallen Vampire is set for a television anime in 2027, directed by Mankyu at Zero-G and Liber, with Yuma Uchida as Rose Red Strauss and Aino Shimada as Bridget Irving Frostheart. The adaptation of Kyo Shirodaira and Yuri Kimura's manga is being run alongside a new manga in the series, which launches in Shonen Gangan on October 9, the same week the anime website opened with a teaser video and visual.
Apprentice Nail Artist in a Foreign Land has its main staff in place but no announced premiere. Daiji Iwanaga directs at Zero-G, with Tomoko Konparu on series composition and scripts written by Konparu and Michiko Yokote. The manga, by Marukawa, follows office worker Keiko Sahara, who is sent to a world where magic comes from nail art and becomes a magic nail artist's apprentice. Tokyopop released the first English volume on April 7.
Zero-G's name also appears on the Psikyo back catalog: Zero Gunner 2 is one of twelve titles in Edia's Psikyo Memories collection, which releases February 18, 2027 for Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 after pre-orders opened on Monday.

Some commands require four controllers with simultaneous input. The command reportedly works on both the original GameCube release and the Nintendo GameCube Nintendo Classics version available to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers on Switch 2.
